Alien beings take over television
United Press International
NEW YORK — “Star Wars” may
turn into star bores as aliens from
outer space invade the inner sanc
tum of the living room.
Before “Star Wars” was the box
office hit it was to become, Robert
Wussler, then president of CBS
Television Network, insisted some
of his top executives watch the
movie to see the wave of the future.
Since then, and compounded by
the success of “Close Encounters of
the Third Kind,” science fiction and
fantasy are turning up on the air
waves as the networks try to hitch
their schedules to a star.
One alien invasion took place last
Saturday on NBC when the Bionic
Woman was trapped inside a buried
pyramid in Southern California,
where she ran into a sentinel wait
ing for the aliens who visited earth
5,000 years ago to return.
Where else but Southern Califor
nia?
Lee Siegel, executive producer of
the show, said, “By investigating
this phenomenon of aliens visiting
earth, we hope to suggest answers
to problems that have plagued man
kind for centuries.’

Checkers test child psych
United Press International
TORRANCE, Calif. — A
ychiatrist has come up with a sim-
test using checkers to help de-
mine the problems of disturbed
ildren.
Dr. Ronald Levy, who recently
I'P’fmplctcd postgraduate training in
j 0 fBild psychiatry at Harbor General
iospital, calls the method the
In £ Statogram.” He said it produces in-
ia ' “ ight into the young patient’s family
elationships by simply having the
1 11 child move labeled checkers around
1 " ,l ‘ 1 ji piece of paper.
a * ieill |In a report at a meeting of the
dee f inerican Academy of Child
,IM Sychiatry, Levy said the Statogram
u ,eri rovides a pictorial representation
lisin ‘ I the child’s perception of his
|oseness to each member of his
amily.
-i Levy tells a child he is going to
{^play agame. Then he places a sheet
pf paper on a table along with a box
(u)]) of checkers and says, “One of these
•checkers is you.” The child picks out
f the*-—
all to
uit of
>orpp|
>r the
a checker and Levy labels it.
The child then tells the doctor
who lives with him, and chooses a
checker for each person. As the
child picks them up they are labeled
for Mom, Dad, Sis, Brother, and so
on, including deceased parents and
siblings and those livipg away from
home.
The checker representing the pa
tient is placed in the center of the
paper. Another checker is pre
sented and Levy says, “This one is
your mother. Where does she go?”
The child will place the checker
labeled Mom on the paper accord
ing to the dictates of his feelings at
the time, either close to or away
from his own.
Levy said he found many children
put relatively large distances be
tween themselves and members of
the family with whom they were
having strained relationships.
He is careful in choosing his
words to prevent influencing the
child’s responses. Once the checker
is placed, the child is asked, “Is she
cldser or further away from you?”
or, “Where would this person be if
you were angry?”
“The featurelessness of the
checker lets the child make of them
what he feels,” Levy said. “What we
are doing is working with the child’s
natural tendency to imagine and to
play.”
Once the family relationships are
studied with the child in the center,
the procedure is repeated with each
member of the family in the center
of the paper. Different arrange
ments are made by the child
through his perception of family re
lationships .
Then Levy draws circles around
the checkers to make a permanent
record of the various arrangements
for study at a later time.
The formative work, he said, in
volved Statograms of 25 patients at
Harbor General including educa
tionally handicapoed children.
