PSI OTES ANNOUNCE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS Twenty-four scholarship awards and 24 alternates to attend the precollege institute at Purdue University speech and hearing clinic have been announced by the Alpha Delta chapter of Psi lota Xi sorority. Through its national organization of 91 chapter?, the workshop is being financed by a $1,700 grant to Purdue University from the national Psi lota Xi philanthropic fund. The girls chosen for this workshop were carefully screened by Purdue University. Included in the selection factors were intent to enter college, aptitude in science and social studies, and ability to work with and desire to help others. The scholarships will enable the winners to serve as cadet clinicians at Purdue July 6-11. The girls will live in the Purdue Union Building with room, board, fees and tuition paid by the psi lota Xi sorority. Purdue University will supply classroom and clinical space, services of professors for lectures, and therapists to work with the more than 100 handicapped children attending the summer speech and hearing clinic. In addition, all scientific equipment will be made available for demonstration of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, test and drill materials, books, periodicals, games, and toys used in therapy. The scholarship recipients will attend two lectures each morning and assist as therapists in the afternoon under the direction of Dr. M. D.
