Most professors ask no more out
of their class than that they be re
ceptive to education on a subject;
other professors have gone beyond
this to help the students gain
practical experience.
Dr. Walter R. Hambrick and
Dr. Sue Rouse teach classes in
which students are required to be
in contact with mentally retarded
individuals.
The classes were asked to
visit mentally retarded children
and then write reports of their
observations and results.
The professors secured permis
sion for students to visit Pineland,
a hospital for mentally retarded
children in South Carolina. Pine
land is the home of children rang
ing from bedridden cases with
IQ's of zero to the trainable cases
with IQ's of 80, according to Ham
brick.
Teaching a P.E. 562 class on
special education, Hambrick re
quires 18 lab hours of contact
with handicapped children. "Stu
dents may choose to work at
'We Care' at Trinity, Happy
Time or Pineland," he said.
"Every kid's a different kid,
and if you're reading books and
using lectures and theory, you
don't really understand what it's
like to be a teacher," Hambrick
said.

,vith a book," he said.
"I have reviewed many books
and given many lectures but
every time I work with one of
these individuals, I get some
thing I could never learn in the
books," Hambrick said.
Working under a federal grant
ror research on special education
f children, Hambrick lectures in
wrorkshops across the state.
Stressing the importance of
physical education to mentally re
Larded, Hambrick said, "The latest
research shows there is more than
Dne factor to mental retardation
and also that IQ is not a static
thing; therefore the best way to
reach the retarded is through
physical activity.

"If they are retarded in sev
eral of the intelligence factors,
there may be others in which
they are proficient, and physi
cal activity develops their neuro
muscular ability," he said.
Dr. Rouse, who teaches the psy
chology of retardation, requires
her students to make at least six
contacts with the Pineland chil
dren.
"The class provides itself a ve
hicle in hopes of making students
better in their profession," said
Dr. Rouse.
Members of the class last se

Twice captured by the Russians
in Iran, once as a boy in 1909
and again as an Army officer in
1942, Dr. Edwin M. Wright brings
20 years of experience with the
State Department to his position
as expert on Middle Eastern af
fairs in the history department.
Wright's parents were Presby
terian missionaries to Iran (form
erly Persia). "I grew up there
and that made me an Iranian citi
zen; so I have two citizenships. I
lived there till I was 14," he said.
After graduating from Wastear
College in Ohio, Wright returned
to the Middle East and was prin
cipal of several high schools for
1'7 years.

"I was interested in education.
We were church affiliated but
our main purpose was to enable
people to go on to professions.
We wanted to produce an edu
cated class," he said.
Wright served in the U. S.
Army in the Middle East from
1941-46. "We tried to find out
what was going on-what the
Germans were doing. They had
sabotage units all ov er the Middle
East. Our major business was to
find out what was threatened.
"'In 1940 our government real
izea they had no preparation for
a war in Asia. The Office of Stra
tegic Services began to prepare
studies for the War Department
on Asiau countries."
In 1946 the State Department
asked Wright to come work for
them because he was so familiar
with this area. "I was born there
and knew all the languages-Per
sian, Turkish, Arabic and Arme
nian," e1said

various threats."
Wright continued, "I've twice
been captured by the Russians in
Iran. In 1909, when I was a boy,
they came into Northern Iran.
Also in 1942, when I was in the
Army, the Russians caught me and
threw me out. They told Gen.
Connally that I knew too much so
I was sent to Cairo.
"The Russians have a card sys
tem on me as they have on any
one who has lived over there 35
years. They held Northern Iran
during the war, and they didn't
want me there."
Wright was also involved with
the Arab-Israeli conflict. "In
May 1948, when Israel was set
upk I was on the delegation to
the U. N. The U. S. took the
British place when they pulled
out, and we've been her main
support since then."
While in the State Department,
Wright was frequently used as an
interpreter for heads of state. "I

When he retired from the State
Department in 1966, l)r. Richard
L. Walker, with whom he had
worked for many years, asked him
to come to Carolina. "They had
no one here on the Middle East
so he asked me to fill that slot. I
enjoy teaching and hope to con
tinue next year."
