UniversityVs in-kind contributions toward the program will tota! $42.000 each year.
Participants will work with infants and children through 4 years of age who are minimally to profoundly delayed in cognitive and motor development and other related areas. Dr° McInerney explained that one of the components of the program will involve the integration of handicapped children with their non-handicapped peers°
He added that the project could be a foundation for meeting potential pre- school certification requirements in Ohio° "This sort of training program may be useful because, at this time, pre-school teachers in Ohio are not required to possess a specific certificate,ÿ he said. The grant proposal endorses an interdisciplinary approach to training which

The technological heart of The University of Toledo will stop beating temporarily
when the University's main computer moves to its new home at the Oakwood Computer Center,
at Oakwood Avenue and Douglas Road, beginning Wednesday, Aug. 29.
The computer, now housed in Gillham Hall, as well as software and accessories,
will be disassembled and packed into moving vans for its trip across campus, according
to William Dusseau, director of computer services.
The system is expected to be on line by Tuesday, Sept. 4, but complete communications will not be restored for several days after that, he said. Though University offices wonTt be closing during the move, Mr. Dusseau said almost all will be hampered by the
temporary inconvenience, and will be forced to make some adjustments.
No registration problems are foreseen by Dean Berkey, director of student records,
although transcripts will not be available while the system is down. Summer grade reports
should be completed by then, he said, and mail registration data will be processed when the system is again operational.
The Aug. 30 deadline for mail registration payments will not be affected by the
move, but students with financial aid, especially those applying for Guaranteed Student
Loans, are advised to contact the Financial Aid Office, Room 3012 Gillham Hall, before
the system is out of operation, according to the associate director of financial aid,
Martin Carney. The office will have no access to student academic records, he said,
and that may delay processing of loan applications. The financial aid microcomputer
also will be out of operation, he added, making financial aid information on applicants
unavailable.
University controller Roger Kempa said that the University payroll will be met on
its Aug. 31 schedule, but payroll deadlines for that pay period will be moved up. The
-over- -2-
Finance Office anticipates no problems, either, with accepting and processing fall quarter fee payments on time°
The need for more space and better facilities is behind the move, Mr o Dusseau said°
The computer service center has been located in GillhamHall since 1975, but some equipment and staff were moved to the Oakwood Computer Center upon its acquisition from Owens-Illinois in 1982. Mr. Dusseau said operations would benefit from locating the entire system and staff in one place.
The main computer, a National Advanced Systems 6650 capable of storing nearly eight billion characters on line, was acquired in 1983. Approximately 300 terminals are in use throughout UTVs main and Scott Park campuses. The system handles both administrative activities and academic instruction and research.

Singapore has been transformed into an international business paradise so rapidly that many American multinational companies -- including those in Toledo -- are still unaware of market growth prospects in southeast Asia, according to a University of
Toledo professor of finance and Fulbright scholar.
Dr. Raj Aggarwal, who just returned from a two-month visit to Singapore where he compared the operating policies of multinational companies based there with those of
U.S°-based firms, found that nearly four out of five industrial companies in Singapore have foreign operations and three out of five have interests in more than one country.
"Considering the size of Singapore's economy (estimated population of 2.5 million), the number of firms going abroad is remarkably large," he said. Dr. Aggarwal's research was funded by a Fulbright Research Fellowship which he won last year in a nationwide competition.
Although most Singapore companies invest primarily in southeast Asia -- most notably
Malaysiaÿ Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Bangladeshÿ and the
Philippines -- Dr. Aggarwal noted that they have begun moving into Australiaÿ New
Zealand, Britain, and the U°S° Among major industries in which Singapore companies have international operations were those in food processing and distributionÿ marine and civil engineering, and construction.
"Singapore firms go abroad for the same reasons U.S° firms do -- for bigger markets and corporate growth," he explained. Yet, Dr. Aggarwal added that there are differences which give Singapore companies a competitive edge in small markets, such as Bangladeshÿ which have been skirted by most U.S. multinational companies.
Singapore firms maintain much lower overhead than their American counterparts and this helps them to realize the benefits of achieving economies of scale in
-over- -2-
administration, marketing, finance, and product development. "Executives are not as highly paid and profit-sharing bonuses are awarded on the basis of company performance,"
Dr. Aggarwal noted. In his interviews with the chief executive officers of more than
35 companies, he found that management offices were very plain, functional, and sparsely decorated.
In addition, Dro Aggarwal concluded that Singapore's government maintains a healthy open door policy with no import duties or quotas. "The government realizes that in order to survive internationally, a business must survive in Singapore," he said.
"Singapore is the only country in the world +ÿ+ÿLÿ I -ÿunoÿ of Tÿ ...... 6ÿ_rcÿmentÿ .... o.mÿ businesses are profitable, aggressive, and very well managed. "Government support of companies is not a drain on taxpayers as it is in most other countries." His research also found scant evidence of corruption in government.
The country also has gained a reputation for its international banking and finance operations. "Singapore has the best foreign exchange rates," Dr. Aggarwal said, adding that money changers in small shops and drug stores gave better exchange rates than the banks. The Singapore dollar, which is approximately equal to one-half of the
American dollar, has done very well against many western European currencies, he noted.
In addition to the strong currency, Singapore's economy has been enjoying an annual growth rate of about 9 per cent after being adjusted for inflation. According to Dr.
Aggaÿal, the country's robust economy also has kept inflation below 4 per cent each year. "Singapore has done so well that even during the recent recession, the economy was expanding at an annual rate of 6 per cent."
Although per capita income of Singapore citizens is reported to be only one-half of that of Americans, he explained that the evidence of wealth in terms of cars, shops, and consumer goods suggests a much higher income figure. While acknowledging that income is understated by residents, Dr. Aggarwal said the country's government maintains a permissive "laissez-fairer' attitude toward the citizenry.
Another sign of wealth is the cost of living in Singapore's capita! city. "It makes Los Angeles and Honolulu look like bargains," he said. However, he added that
-more- -3- the citizens maintain a very strong work ethic and make extra efforts to keep the city clean and attractive° "Singapore is much like San Francisco and northern California."
Dr. Aggarwal explained that Singapore's economic growth will continue for some timeÿ perhaps at an annual rate of 6 to 8 per cent until the end of the century° The only threats are political instabilityÿ particularly in the neighboring countries of
Malaysia and Indonesiaÿ and a worldwide economic slowdown -- situations which are closely monitored by Singaporeÿ he noted,
"U.So firms ought to be in those markets" he said° "American firms are very goods even better than companies from other countriesÿ but they must be made more aware of the growth opportunities in southeast Asia°"

Newly graduated analytical chemists need more practical experience before entering the working world -- thatVs the consensus of a recent chemistry workshop held at The University of Toledo.
Participants from 12 states and Puerto Rico, including industrial chemists, chemistry teachers, and students, discussed the training of analytical chemists, those who analyze chemical components of viitually all types of manufactured products, as well as organic materials. The workshop was sponsored by the UT department of chemistry and the Division of Continuing Education.
Stressing the need for practical experience was Dr. David E. Gillum, keynote speaker and senior research chemist with Armco, Inc. of Middletown, O.
Dr. Gillum also discussed recent developments in atomic emission spectroscopy.
Currently the UT analytical chemistry program provides for no outside internship opportunities with local companies, according to Dr. Gordon Parker, professor of chemistry. All the students' work experience now comes from laboratory work within the University setting, a situation he said should be modified to include outside work. Tours of local industrial laboratories were another highlight of the two-day sessions. A similar workshop is planned for next summer.

A method of teaching language with pictures, first used with deaf children more than 15 years ago, is the subject of a new book written by a University
of Toledo faculty member and his wife, an assistant professor of speech and language pathology at the Medical College of Ohio.
Dr. Norman and JaneGiddan have published "Teaching Language With Pictures,"
an instructional guide for speech clinicians, Head Start program teachers, and parents of preschool children who are minimally to profoundly delayed in
cognitive development. Dr. Giddan, director of UT's Counseling Center and adjunct professor of education, explained that the book "capitalizes on the strengths of visual cues" by providing ideas for lessons and activities focusing on a system of 1,200 visually cued language cards.
"The method is basic enough so that children can be fully prepared for vocabulary instruction at a higher level," Mrs. Giddan said. She added that the method is useful for children who are progressing normally in their cognitive development, for adults suffering from aphasia or loss of speech because of illness or stroke, and for those learning English as a second language.
The Giddans said the book is written so that different instructional techniques can be employed to fit a child's specific circumstancesÿ For example, focusing on the similarity of visual cues with real-life objects can be effective for profoundly retarded children. Mrs. Giddan added that a "flash card" game and a group discussion format in which children use the cards to create a story are acceptable alternatives. "Parents are encouraged to make this type of learning natural and relaxed," she said. "We designed the method so it can be integrated into everyday life by involving other family members." The Giddans recommend that children have a professional and thorough diagnostic evaluation of the extent and level of their language behavior before being introduced to the method of visual cues.
The book is available through Charles C. Thomas Publisher and can be ordered through Toledo-area bookstores.
