ilegents Approve
Children's Center
The University Board of Re
gents Saturday gave tentative ap
proval to leasing agreements for
the, establishment of a $1,500,000
rehabilitation center for handi
capped children at the College of
Medicine at Omaha.
The contracts are with Rehabili
tation, Inc., the School District of
Omaha, and the Hattie B. Monroe
Home for Convalescing Crippled
Children, all of Omaha.
The agreements were passed
subject to the granting by the Ne
braska State Hospital Advisory
Council of approximately $125,000
hi federal Hill-Burton funds for
the Nurses' Dormitory addition at
tlw College of Medicine.
Earlier in the week, State Health
Director Dr. E. A. Rogers an
nounced that the Council had in
formally approved the funds, but
had ,not determined the exact
amount. Chancellor Clifford Har
din said Saturday the University
had requested $133,500.
Allocation of the funds, Chancel

Experts Say
Ike To Stay
In Office
According to recent estimates
ever 61,000,000 people will cast
their vote Tuesday in . the 43th
presidential election.
The two leading candidates for
the presidency, incumbent Repub
lican Dwight Eisenhower and Dem
ocratic hopeful, Adlai Stevenson
have both put away their .soap
boxes after several months of
Strenuous campaigning.
From all reports President Ei
enhower will be re-elected, al
though Stevenson appears to be
running a little stronger than in
'52. The polls also indicate that
the Democrats will more than like
ly capture at least one if not two
of the Congressional houses which
will create an interesting political
aituation for the next two years.
Political clairvoyants maintain
that the recent uprisings in east
era Europe and the near East will
have little effect on current elec
tion trends, which point to Ike. Al
so there seems to be little evi
dence of a farm revolt as had
been indicated some months ago.
Foreign policy and defense, es
pecially during the closing weeks
of the campaign, have been dis
cussed the most by both presiden
tial candidates and their respective
political aides.
Stevenson, early in the cam
paign, recommended a program
whereby H-bomb tests would be
curtailed. This move, deemed by
some experts as a definite bid for
popular support, seems to have had
minimized effect on the voting
public.

Student Campaigners
University students of voting
age will exercise their voting
right Tuesday at Lincoln's polls,
or by absentee ballot to their
home county, as the 19."6 election
campaigns roll to a close. Al
though the majority of students
are not old enough to vote, some
Nebraska-Missouri game by Carol
Link, the 1955 Queen.
She was escorted to the throne
by Don Beck, Yell King, and was
presented to the spectators in
Memorial Stadium by Chancellor
Clifford Hardin.
The Queen was selected from
amount from the ' University's
medical building fund, which in
turn can be used to extend steam
lines and improve the power
plant.
This work, he explained, is ne
jcessary to furnish steam to the
; proposed rehabilitation center, as
stipulated by the agreements.
Under the contracts the Univer
! sity agrees to lease land to the
j three Omaha agencies for a term
I of 99 years for one dollar a year.
The sites are located between 44th
! Street and Saddle Creek Road and
Dewey Avenue and Farnam Street.
Rehabilitation, Inc., will con
! struct a therapy center, to, cost
not less than $500,000, within the
next five years. The building will
be known as "The C. Louis
Meyer Therapy Center."
The School District will build
the J. P. Lord School for the
education, care, and rehabilitation
of handicapped children.
The Hattie Munroe Home for
Convalescing Crippled Children
will build a nursing home, for the
care and rehabilitation of handi
capped children within five years.
Air three facilities will be made
available to the College of Medi
cine for teaching, .training, and
research purposes, according to
the agreements. Transfer of pa
tients between the therapy center
and University Hospital is also
i permitted.
In addition, the University will
extend, at its own expense, the
steam line and furnish, at cost to
the agencies, laundry service and
the necessary steam for heating
and hot water.
Under the agreement with Re
habilitation, Inc., the therapy cen
ter may be ' made available for
medical education of students of
any accredited medical college or
school of nursing.
The authority to lease the land
was provided by the 1955 State
Legislature which appropriated
$480,000 to the University for ac
quiring land adjacent to the Col
lege of Medicine campus for a
children's rehabilitation center.
