speech impaired students communicate
By Brig Lopez III
Features Editor
Tarleton State University has
just now been equipped with a
T.D.D or a Telecommunications
Device for the Deaf.
The T.D.D is a technical device
which enables the hearing and
speech impaired to communicate
through a telephone.
The technical machine is about
the size of an average briefcase and
resembles a typewriter with a
phone,
"This machinery is quite sim-
ple to operate," said Christy
Church, the 911 public Education
and Training Coordinator in
Arlington.
The T.D.D. project is in associa-
tion with the 911 project. When
the 911 project came to Erath
county in December of last year, it
brought the option of having' the
T.D.D,
Stress Management seminar
scheduled for all non-faculty
employees at the University
"I think it is fantastic that
Tarleton State University initiated
this program on their own. There
are few colleges that have a direct
911 system on campus," said
Christy Church.
The Erath Sheriffs Department
as well as Tarleton State
University received one of these
machines.
The machines that were provided
for Tarleton State University and
the Erath Sheriffs Department
were given by the state.
The Sheriffs Department and
Tarleton State University are mak-
ing plans to become familiarized
with the equipment by sending
each other messages.
The T.D.D has been installed in
the Control Center at Tarleton.
"We are happy to furnish as
many services to each student as
possible," said Gene Morrison,
Director of Facilities Maintenance
(See TDD page 6)
"Managing Stress in a
Stressful World" is the topic of a
Staff Development Seminar
scheduled for Monday, April 12,
on campus. The program is open
to all non-faculty employees of
the University.
Dr. Joe Austin, founder and
president of The Joe Austin
Associates, a professional
consulting and development
company headquartered in
Beaumont, will conduct the six-
hour workshop.
From a productivity stand-
point, stress causes dramatic de-
crease in employee performance
and often causes long-term rela-
tionships to disintegrate.
Modern medical and psycho-
logical research have defined
practical, workable strategies and
practices that allow any person to
control stress and live a happier
and more productive life.
"The least productive employ-
ees are those who are attempting
to deal with more stress than they
can effectively manage," said Dr.
Austin. "We have an exciting and
action-packed program that
allows learning and fun at the
same time."
Participants engage in eye-
opening activities that stimulate
learning and curiosity.
Self-assessment instruments
provide for better understandings
of individual strategies and pat-
terns in dealing with oneself and
others.
The eight outward signs of
stress, recognizing one's own
stress level, avoiding stressful
people and situations and leaving
the job behind at quilting time are
