PAH Enrollment Shows
Increase Over Last Spring
With the Spring semester well under way,
Pan American University shows an
enrollment increase cf 3.9 per cent over a
year ago at this time.
Figures released by John W. Hook, dean
of admissions, show a total of 9,311 students
on the Edinburg and Brownsville campuses.
Spring enrollment in 1979 was 8,957.
The Edinburg campus has a Spring
enrollment of 8,241, up 4.1 per cent over the
Spring enrollment a year ago. The
Brownsville campus has 1,200 students this
semester, an increase of 1.9 per cent over
last Spring.
The number of graduate students on both
campuses is 1,193, down 5.3 per cent from a
year ago. The figures from both campuses
do not reflect the actual total, because some
students are dually enrolled, taking classes
on both campuses, Hook said.
Enrollment for the Fall semester was
9,603. Hook said enrollment traditionally
falls for the Spring semester. Enrollment
for the Fall !97?U79semesterwas 8,979 and in
the Spring was 8,957.

A complex multi-disciplinary, multi-
agency network of related services from
birth through adulthood was recommended
by the task force. The task force cited
numerous factors including lack of public
and professional awareness of autism, lack
of referral mechanisms and the failure of
service delivery systems to screen and
identify autistic individuals as a special
population with unique service needs.
The report said autistic individuals do not,
as a rule, make progress in institutions. The
characteristics of the handicap require
individual attention in a natural, non-
restrictive environment on a 24 hour a day
basis.
Some guidelines exist to aid physicians in
diagnosing autistic children. Although no
single item is significant alone, if a child
exhibits more than seven of these traits, a
diagnosis of autism should be seriously
considered.
The traits are: difficulty in mixing with
other children, acts as deaf, resists learn-
ing, displays no fear of real dangers,
resists change in routine, indicates needs by
gesture, inappropriate laughing and
giggling, not cuddly, marked physical
overactivity, no eye contact, inappropriate
attachments to objects, spins objects,
sustained odd play, and standoffish manner
Although normal children, or abnormal
children who are not autistic, may behave in
any of these ways, autistic children exhibit
seven or more of these traits and their
abnormal behavior is constant and inap-
propriate to their age.

"How the West Was Won."
Blue, red, and white
ribbons will be awarded to
the participants in the
bicycle decorating contest.
The bicyclists will ride as a
group in the parade, which
will begin at the Starr Coun-
ty Courthouse and proceed
eastward on Second Street
into Fort Ringgold.
The parade will begin at
