GIVING IQ TESTS is part of the Psychology clinic ' s service to both students and community residents. Service Keynotes Work of Clinics Human beings often need the help of others. This is proved daily in the work of the Univer- sity ' s clinics with both students and community residents. Equipped with treatment, observation, consul- tation and waiting rooms, the clinics are staffed by trained experts who are assisted by young men and women studying to enter the specific field. One of 17 clinics in the United States equipped to conduct a new type of hearing exam which measures the skin resistance, the Speech and Hearing clinic can now test children as young as one year old. Among the clinic ' s other projects is the Lost Cord club, members of which have had their larynx removed due to cancer. A program of self-help and mutual aid characterizes this part of the clinic ' s work. Schools, organizations and University classes are among the groups which benefit from the work of the Audio-Visual Aids department. With its modern equipment for recording radio and television programs, the bureau has built up a considerable library of worthwhile broadcasts to be lent out. AVA is also responsible for supplying films to the various groups and classes using them in their work. Directed by Dr. Dwight Arnold, the Guidance Testing bureau offers examinations to determine interest, aptitude and achievement. Although the department is maintained primarily for Kent State students, its services are often extended to high schools of the area by special arrangement. Another University service is the Psychology clinic, begun in 1947 as a guidance clinic for Kent Staters. It has now expanded to include voca- tional and personality adjustment counseling, and intelligence and personality testing for outsiders as well. No problem is too big or too small to warrant aid from the staff which is trained to help the maladjusted become happier people. 28
