00:00:01.590 - 00:00:20.079

Yeah, you say the child has difficulty in speaking, perhaps we'll be able to help you. When would it be convenient for you to come in for an interview? This is not a medical facility, an example of how the students and educators at Pepperdine College are serving

00:00:20.090 - 00:00:46.630

the community. We are reporting directly from the campus of Pepperdine College in this view of a campus in action. Pepperdine is an independent Liberal arts Christian College for men and women. It stresses a five point program of distinctive education, academic excellence, spiritual emphasis, individual initiative, competitive

00:00:46.639 - 00:01:06.639

achievement, and patriotic citizenship, the education of the whole man. His physical mental, social and spiritual life is the unique mission of Pepperdine College. This is the seventh in a continuing series designed to give you a behind the scenes look into the workings of outstanding colleges and

00:01:06.650 - 00:01:30.190

universities in our Southland area and is brought to you as part of their year long special events, coverage of events of community interest by Mobile High Mega rated gasolines engineered to meet your Motors needs. I'm Bill. We and we are on the campus of Pepperdine College

00:01:30.199 - 00:01:46.480

in Los Angeles. Major programs available on this campus are of many and varied types today. However, we will be focusing our cameras on a unique phase of the Department of Speech. We want to show you how this department functions, not only to educate their students, but

00:01:46.489 - 00:02:01.489

also to perform a vital service to the community. Now, before we start our tour, I'd like you to meet the president of Pepperdine and professor of religion. Doctor Norville M Young. And we meet Doctor Young right in front of his residence on the campus. Hello, Doctor.

00:02:01.500 - 00:02:13.830

Fine. How are you, Bill? Well, we're happy to have a chance to come back once again to Pepperdine. Well, I'm always glad to have you on campus and we're happy to share with the public through you some of our activities here at Pepperdine College. Well, let's

00:02:13.839 - 00:02:33.750

go back a little bit and find out just when Pepperdine was founded, Pepperdine was founded in 1937. We have a 35 acre campus here. The president's home behind us is a 60 year old Spanish Hacienda. And this promenade that you just looked down was the carriageway.

00:02:33.800 - 00:02:51.529

This was seven miles from town and quite a place. A lot of romantic history involved here. Yes, it was the old Connolly estate. Tell me, how large is the enrollment now, approximately 1250 regular students and about 600 in our evening and extension program. I understand. Also

00:02:51.539 - 00:03:08.300

you planned something unique. Ah, a college in Europe, a branch of Pepperdine. Yes, I was in Germany in January, setting up our branch campus at Heidelberg. And we've made arrangements for 40 of our junior students to go with the director of our graduate program, Doctor Howard

00:03:08.309 - 00:03:26.360

White and with three other faculty members and they'll have a complete program designed to, ah, acquaint them with history and economics and of course, the German language and culture for two semesters and then they'll come back. Now also, ah you're in the forefront and the new

00:03:26.369 - 00:03:40.455

ideas about utilizing college facilities throughout the year with what I think they call the trimester plan. That is correct. The University of Pittsburgh pioneered this and about 100 colleges in the country are doing it. But we are the first that we know of in the west

00:03:40.755 - 00:03:56.664

and we'll use our facilities on an 11 months basis with three semesters which we call Trimester in the academic year. Another thing that impresses me about Pepperdine Doctor is the large number of members of your faculty who hold doctorates. Yes, we have 43% and we'll have

00:03:56.675 - 00:04:12.809

a higher percentage next year of our faculty, we have 60 full time faculty and 40 part time and this percentage holds for both. And we are very pleased to have this very distinguished faculty. What with a fine faculty like this? Now, what do you offer in

00:04:12.820 - 00:04:32.899

the way of a curriculum? We have 16 departments in liberal arts, a liberal arts college and we specialize in giving personal attention to each of the students. We have one faculty member to 13 students. We also have nine departments which offer the master's degree. We train

00:04:32.910 - 00:04:51.450

a number of teachers also give liberal arts education and free engineering, free medicine, pre law. Of course, we have home economics and a lot of girls about equal boys and girls and homemaking and art and music, a very wide curriculum then yes, we do. And we

00:04:51.459 - 00:05:10.269

are, we think we're doing a very fine job for our students. And we are frankly also proud of our independence as a liberal arts college. We have sold bonds to our friends to build our dormitories instead of taking our financial woes to Washington. Ah, we think

00:05:10.279 - 00:05:24.070

that the independent Liberal Arts College has something very definitely to offer in our day. Now, we of course, want to visit one of your departments. And I wonder if you tell us something about that. I would like to have you visit the speech department. Of course,

00:05:24.079 - 00:05:40.410

it's hard for me to decide we have so many departments we think are outstanding, but the speech department has made an outstanding record in debate and dramatics and we have some interesting work going on in speech therapy. And Doctor Warren Jones is the head of that

00:05:40.420 - 00:05:53.320

department has been with us for a number of years and we would like for you to meet him and have him take you around and see some of the work we're doing in the speech department. Doctor Jones. Good morning, Doctor Bill. Happy to see you. And

00:05:53.329 - 00:06:18.190

we're looking forward to our visit today with your department. Thank you. We're glad to have you on campus again. It would be my pleasure to be your host. Thank you. We'll make that visit right after this important word. Now, we are in one section of the

00:06:18.200 - 00:06:30.489

Department of Speech at Pepperdine College. Dr Warren Jones is about to show us a unique problem that involves the special talents of his department. Do you want to tell us what we're going to see here? Yes, I should like for you to look in on an

00:06:30.500 - 00:06:46.489

interview that is in progress. Doctor Fred Kashmir is interviewing a mother of a child and I think if you look in, you will enjoy it. Miss Coulton, we had an opportunity to meet the other day just very briefly and I got some of the basic information

00:06:46.500 - 00:07:06.540

I needed. But today I would like to go into a little bit more detail and ask you some questions about Belinda and about you. Also, first of all, would you tell me Belinda's age. Does she have any brothers and sisters? She had two brothers and two

00:07:06.549 - 00:07:33.399

brothers and seven sisters. Are they older or younger? All of them, all of them older? I see. Is she in school now? Where does she go to school? 96. And in which grade is she at this end, the first grade. Is this her first school or

00:07:33.410 - 00:07:52.440

has she been to other schools before? She went about two weeks before we come here right here. It's the first school in California. Then. Now you say when you came out here, where did you come from? New Mexico? Oh, yes. She was in school there. Well,

00:07:52.450 - 00:08:06.720

she went by two a week. They didn't have no kind. I couldn't stand the kindergarten she went by before I come out here. Oh, she wasn't in kindergarten at all then I see. I see. Uh, and then she was two weeks in school there and you

00:08:06.730 - 00:08:27.049

took her out and brought her out here and put her right back in school. I see. Where were you born? In Crocket? Oh, yes. In Texas. And Belinda's father, where was he born in New Mexico? In New Mexico? Yes. And I assume then that Belinda was

00:08:27.059 - 00:08:50.750

born in New Mexico also. Yes. Right. Oh, in Artesia, New Mexico. Right. Tell me who noticed Belinda's speech problem. Did you or someone else? Well, I know it but the nurse and I want a guy and Dr J. Yes. Well, that's the way we heard. Had

00:08:50.760 - 00:09:04.400

you talked to the nurse any at all before you came to us or? Well, yes, she come out of the house and talk with me. She probably wanted to put it in the school, but I didn't have transition to send to school. So she thought I

00:09:04.409 - 00:09:21.969

bring down here once a week, I see. All right, I talked to your physician after I met you last time just to make sure that there was nothing organically wrong with Belinda. Anything that perhaps needed a physician's attention. I talked to him and he gave me

00:09:21.979 - 00:09:43.229

some of her background and assured there was no problem. So as far as uh, oh, her throat and everything else is concerned, her physiological factors, we would call them. Everything is all right. And there's no problem there. And as you know, last time, uh we also

00:09:43.239 - 00:09:59.909

took an audio meric test. Remember the box that we had, uh we just wanted to find out if Belinda's hearing was all right. And we gave her a thorough test and there is no problem. So as far as I can see at this point, she has

00:09:59.919 - 00:10:17.280

no physical problems. She has no hearing problems that we can find. And I would therefore like from now on to work with her. And as you said, we would probably have her come in once a week now. I haven't met Belinda at all, but I would

00:10:17.289 - 00:10:40.510

like to talk to her next. I think you brought her along today, didn't you? Fine. Well, let me call for her, Judy. Would you please bring in Belinda? I, how are you, Belinda? You know this song? Who is he? That's right. You know, he talks, go

00:10:40.599 - 00:11:20.200

ahead and make him talk. I don't just let go there we are. Do it again. Just pull them on, let go. Hey, man, what's up? Good. What are you saying? What did he say that time? Yeah. You called? Gow. Well, let's talk to him later on

00:11:20.210 - 00:11:43.799

a little bit more. How old are you? Belinda? Seven. Yeah. You are brothers and sisters. Your mother tells me how many? 10 is that right? No. How many? You don't know. That's right. You and I are going to see a lot of each other. Do you

00:11:43.809 - 00:11:57.979

know that your mother is going to bring you in once a week? And you and I are going to talk together. We're going to have Cecil right there and he's going to talk back to us. What do you think of that? He's a pretty smart sea

00:11:57.989 - 00:12:20.719

serpent, isn't he? You ever seen a sea serpent before we could talk? You have where and on TV? Do you watch T VA lot? Well, a talking sea serpent. This is something unusual to find here. Yes. And I guess you noticed Bill, we never know what

00:12:20.729 - 00:12:35.549

to expect in our first interviews with the Children. They're rewarding just to work with them. Well, I would imagine so, but I assume that later on the sea serpent becomes a friend and a helpmate to our youngsters and their horses. Yes, the child has an attachment

00:12:35.559 - 00:12:50.312

to the sea serpent and I hope you notice the uh the friendly attitude that the doctor has and the child responded to him real well. That would be much of the secret of your success down here. I presume that you find all sorts of problems and

00:12:50.322 - 00:13:04.726

takes an analysis such as he is doing right now to discover how best to go about curing them. Right. You will notice that Dr Kashmir went into a rather extended case history. Yes, he talked to the child about the number of brothers and sisters and where

00:13:04.736 - 00:13:18.546

the child started to school all of these back ground problems. We must know all we can about the child in order to before we go into therapy. Are most of these referred to you, these youngsters by school nurses? Yes. Now, in the interview, you probably heard

00:13:18.556 - 00:13:33.250

that this one was referred to us by the school nurse. The public schools refer a lot of students to us, a lot of dentists and a number of physicians will refer students to us and this could be for a multitude of problems and that you, you

00:13:33.260 - 00:13:47.549

try to correct it. That's true. How long would it take before this little girl that we saw here would show some improvement and might even have a complete correction of her speech problems. Well, uh to be ethical, we never try to guarantee how long it will

00:13:47.559 - 00:14:03.989

take. But uh I would just assume that this child with probably a simple articulatory problem would show marked improvement in a month or two months. Well, that surprises me, I didn't realize it would be that quick. Now, I know we're going to be interested in seeing

00:14:04.000 - 00:14:14.280

just how you do accomplish some of these. I should say almost miracles because I know the wonderful things you've done here doctor. And we would like to look in on that, but we will be real pleased to show you our clinic. Fine. We move on to

00:14:14.289 - 00:14:43.760

that right after this important message, we are now at the speech therapy Clinic at Pepperdine College. And Dr Warren Jones is about to show us students and instructors working together in the application of speech therapy, which sounds like a rather difficult task. Well, it is, it

00:14:43.770 - 00:15:00.409

takes a lot of training and in fact, I should like for you to follow me and I will show you Dr Kashmir working with Belinda and a student who is in training to be a speech therapist and a psychologist. Hi, Belinda. Good to see you again.

00:15:02.000 - 00:15:28.469

You fine today. There's somebody else who is fine. Remember him? See. So that's right. Would you like to make him talk? Ok. My name is Cecil. Well, what did he say? My name is Cecil. And again, oh, did you hear that? I love you. That's what

00:15:28.479 - 00:15:50.250

he said. And I say I have something else. I want you to look at today. All right, I have a book. Let's find it. Let me have a Cinderella story, please. I wonder if you know that story That's right, Cinderella. And that's her coach. Remember what

00:15:50.260 - 00:16:09.909

that coach was first? It was a pumpkin, a bug, a pumpkin, a bug. Right? There's Cinderella and there's someone else with her. Do you know who that is her fairy godmother? A big, that's who it is. Exactly. It's a long story in there. Have you ever

00:16:09.919 - 00:16:29.739

read Cinderella? Do you like it? Yeah. What happens to Cinderella finally? Do you know she married American Pie? She married a prince? All right. I have another book now. It's not a story like this, but it has a lot of pictures in it. And I want

00:16:29.750 - 00:16:50.039

you to look at those pictures for me and tell me what they are. All right. OK. May I have the picture test, please? Thank you, Pat. Now, let's go right down the line. What's that? You show me what? That is a pig. That's a cup. Cup.

00:16:50.210 - 00:17:26.418

That's right, baby. A baby. That was real good. Right. Book bathtub. Bath tub. Yes. And that one is a, a me, right. A man. You getting the sounds? All right. What's that? A drum, a drum, a drum. All right. That's a pinwheel, pinwheel. All right. And

00:17:26.428 - 00:17:50.319

here uh a hammer. Hamper, hammer, hammer. That's a, a wheel. We're actually doing double duty here, Pat Kyle. The student in the background is in training under a competent professor and Belinda is receiving the speech therapy that she needs. So we're performing a dual function. Two

00:17:50.349 - 00:18:02.839

people are being held here then? Oh, that's very interesting. And I can see that she makes progress just in the short time that we have listened to her here when we've had her on television. She does very well as you probably know, there are only 26

00:18:02.849 - 00:18:22.979

letters in our alphabet, but they're 41 sounds. So this makes it difficult. That's right. Shall we move on over to the next? I'd like to show you a hearing test in progress. If you walk over here with me, this is Mr Starnes uh demonstrating an audiometer

00:18:23.270 - 00:18:38.589

to two of our students. Uh Snooki Smith and Sanja de Wade. And the audiometer is a machine that checks a person's hearing because a lot of speech problems are the result of faulty hearing. So if we can look in on him, perhaps he can explain it

00:18:38.599 - 00:18:52.520

to us. Do you mind if we look in fine? I'm right in Snooki. Now, you tell me when you can hear the frequency that we have this dial set on right over here as it comes in through those earphones, raise your finger when you can hear

00:18:52.530 - 00:19:27.640

it. All right. Now, let's switch over to a new frequency. Is it up? TED? May we hear what Snooki is hearing? What she is hearing? Her musical tones that are pitched according to this dial right over here in cycles per second, turn this volume up and

00:19:27.650 - 00:19:41.989

this is the sound that she is hearing. I see this sound is, well, the volume is turned completely down and then it is placed in uh on Snooki's head. And then when she hears this sound, she raises her finger and that is a sign that she

00:19:42.000 - 00:19:59.430

can hear the sound, we record it onto this audiogram. And uh by reading the curve created by these markings on this audiogram, we can tell when her hearing is defective and in what range and we see the audiogram a little more closely. All right, this area

00:19:59.439 - 00:20:16.589

in the center here marked the critical speech area is the area in which the person has the greatest difficulty hearing the sounds that are required for speech between 500 cycles per 2nd and 3000 cycles per second to a level of a hearing level of 30 decibels.

00:20:16.599 - 00:20:32.189

If it goes below that, then this is the critical speech area, then hearing relates to speech because speech is a learned process and we must hear the proper sounds in order to articulate them. That's right. They are vitally interrelated because the person who cannot hear the

00:20:32.199 - 00:20:45.729

sounds he is making has great difficulty in learning to speak. And these instructors or these students are learning to become instructors in speech therapy, right? Any questions? Well, I think that's very interesting and I presume that in years gone by, there have been many people with

00:20:45.739 - 00:21:00.880

speech problems that nobody realized that they were had hearing difficulties, they couldn't hear. That's true. And So do you test everybody that comes here? We test all of our students as their freshmen and then we pick up the outside people that come in. We always give

00:21:00.890 - 00:21:14.410

them an auto meric test. I wonder what age can you start to test a youngster's hearing? Well, we test them. See, this is a musical tone and as long as the child understands that he's hearing something we can test them down to. certainly two years old.

00:21:14.420 - 00:21:31.989

No problem. In fact, the little child we'll see next has been given an audio meric test and he's working with Billy Pittard and we'll go over and talk to them, Billy. May we look in on you here and Doug see what Doug flag is doing. You

00:21:32.000 - 00:21:57.369

read after me, one fish, one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. That's right. Blackfish, black fish, blue fish, blue fish, old fish, fish, fish while she's working with him. Let me explain what happened to this child. Physician took out his tonsils and his adenoids and

00:21:57.380 - 00:22:09.050

it left a lot of room in the pharynx. So all the air or most of it began to come out through the, through the nasal passages rather than through the mouth. So I'll try to get him to say some sounds that you can hear it and

00:22:09.060 - 00:22:26.239

then I'll show you how a functional problem can change it. All right, Doug, would you say for me, my sister has a purse, a purse, right? Now he had therapy for quite a while. And so he's learned to use his oral cavity a lot better. But

00:22:26.250 - 00:22:44.119

now watch, as we taught him this way, say it, see, this makes the sound come out through the oral passages. Bill. We thank you for letting us look in on your therapy session and we wish you luck doctor. This is very interesting because you're helping many

00:22:44.130 - 00:22:57.540

youngsters to find a better place for themselves in this world. They have to learn and they have to be able to speak to properly learn in school. Yes, they do. Communication or communication particularly is the way that most of us get along the most popular form

00:22:57.550 - 00:23:12.410

of communication. And we're interested in all of our students, whether our majors or any major being a good speaker. Now, your graduates from the school here, would they go to uh other schools to teach or would they be in clinical work? Uh All of our public

00:23:12.420 - 00:23:25.380

schools are looking for good speech therapists always. And our graduates with a B A degree can go directly into this. Now, they, most of them will go on for an ma degree and some of them will go for the phd. Thank you, Doctor Jones. It's been

00:23:25.390 - 00:23:55.020

a most interesting visit here and we're going to now rejoin, rejoin your president, Doctor Norwood Young right after this important work. Been my pleasure. Thank you Dr Yang. We've had a most interesting and pleasant visit. Here at Pepperdine College. Thank you, Bill. And we are glad

00:23:55.030 - 00:24:15.130

to share this glimpse of college life here at Pepperdine with your viewers. We appreciate your courtesy. Thank you. Goodbye with that. We bring to a conclusion, our special report on Pepperdine College in Los Angeles, California. This has been a campus in action, one of a continuing
