cooperate in a Region 7 Area library Services Authority to utilitxe the specialiied training, services, or resources of the various libraries located in the six-county area "Most libraries, like all other institutions, are feeling the effects of current economic conditions that make liv ng within set budgets a constant matter of doing without and cutting back.” says Mrs. Martin She says the Nov. 13 meeting will provide some means for communicatingamong all types of librarirsthat may provide help for some of these budget determinations Invitation forms haw been

sent to all the 35 potential participating library agencies in Area 7. This includes Clay, Parke. Putnam, Sullivan, Vermillion and Vigo counties. The region has 9 public library districts, 14 school corporations. 1 vocational school, 4 academic libraries. 3 special libraries, 1 hospital. 1 correctional institution and 2 residential schools.

A special opportunity is available this year for the first time to teenagers and families in Putnam County through International Cultural Exchange. a non-profit educational organisation designated by the U.S. Department of State as a sponsor of teenage exchange visitor's programs. Young people from five continents come to the United States for as long as a school war or as little as a month

during the summer. They live in American families as members of those families and attend school when it is in session. American students participate in similar programs abroad. For information on bow to apply as a boat family or teenage participant abroad, area residents may write or call Sara Frommer, the program's field associate at 828 S. Fess Aw., Bloomington, IN 47401 (812 ) 336-5152. Volunteers

interested in helping in other ways are also urged to talk with Mrs. Frommer. College students may also want to inquire about a semester of teaching English at the John F. Kennedy Language Center in Sao Luis, Brazil. Mrs. Frommer has that information, which can also be obtained by writing to TESOL Projects, International Cultural Exchange, Box 1965, Ann Arbor, MI 48106, the program’s international office.

McDaniel is the father of plaintiff James McDaniel. As result of said accident, plaintiff Russell R. McDaniel has been deprived of the

society and comfort of his son and has expended approximately $50,000 for care and support of his son and will expend additional sums in the

A senior music student at DePauw University faced her piano recital-a requirement for graduation-with considerable tension. Outwardly, there appeared to be no reason why she shouldn't pass with flying colors. She was an excellent musician and an honor student in DePauw’s music school. Yet. she suffered a handicap that threatened her graduation. She could not perform before audiences. Her hands shook. Her face flushed. On previous occasions her recitals had ended prematurely In desperation, she sought out two DePauw Uni verity psychologists who were working on biofeedback training under a grant from the Spencer Foundation of Chicago. She had learned of their experiments from sorority sisters who had been involved in their research.

For a month before her required recital she attended biofeedback training sessions under the supervision of the two psychologists. She learned to reduce her anxiety and tension through electronic apparatus that helped her moderate a variety of physiological processes. She even played some mock concerts that were taped for _ playback and study. At the end of a month, with a fairly large audience of students and faculty present, she gave the recital and received a standing ovation. Both Dr. Robert Garrett and Dr. Richard Kelly, who worked with her, emphasize they do not claim the success of the concert was due to biofeedback training. “It is simply a case study,” Dr. Kelly said, “and it gives us some evidence for examination.” The case study of that coed, *

now graduated, is part of the interesting spinoff of biofeedback research at DePauw in the past two years. Involved in it are Garrett, Dr. Michael Silver, another psychologist at DePauw, and Kelly, who is also director of the Bureau of Testing and Research. Biofeedback is a fairly recent phenomenon to most people. Newspapers, weekly magazines, and paperback books have given it extensive publicity. Yet, there is still a lot of misinformation on the subject, and a variety of selfstyled experts have reaped profits from books and gadgets that trade on its novel aspects. The biofeedback training at DePauw has concentrated on two physiological measures that seem most related to relaxation-alpha EEG brain waves and muscle tension. Early research showed that reduction of muscle tension

and an increase in alpha brain waves-both measured through electrodes on the back and-or front of the head-are accompanied by a feeling of relaxation in the person being tested. If, was reasoned, the subject could be trained to control these responses as they are monitored on electronic gear in the laboratory, perhaps the subject could be “taught” to relax or become less anxious. A $14,000 grant from Spencer Foundation offered an opportunity to test the theses. The researchers immediately began building and purchasing the equipment for a biofeedback laboratory arid employed students to assist in the lengthy project. Since examinations are one of the biggest sources of anxiety on any college campus, tiie researchers decided to see if biofeedback training could be used to reduce pre-test anxiety

among DePauw undergraduates with examination jitters. Students psychology classes filled out questionnaires about their own test-taking experiences. Those who showed the most test-related anxiety were invited to volunteer for the research. Half the 36 students who volunteered received no biofeedback training. The rest did, receiving up to four training sessions. After the entire group took final examinations the researchers checked the results. They found every btofeedback subject had a reduction in test anxiety, while only half the untrained subjects did. The trained students showed a 35 percent drop in their original anxiety scores. The others dropped only one percent. Two more studies with larger DePauw groups produced similar cautious support for the I

value of biofeedback training. Garrett said the trio’s intention has not been to develop a treatment for test anxiety. “We are more interested in learning whether biofeedback could be used to treat anxiety in general,’’ he added. Students, like that the anxious musician, have begun to come to the researchers for individualized help and training sessions. It’s been time-consuming but there apparently has been some progress. Five individuals have completed the treatment so far, each with moderately successful results. The students say they feel better, have more control over their emotions, and can relax when they feel stress building up. Garrett and his colleagues are quick to point out that biofeedback as a therapeutic tedinique is still in its infancy. *
