Grant To Create 3rd Center For Deaf A regional media center for the deaf, one of three in the nation, is being established at the University with a $194, 732 grant from the U.S. Office of Education. The Board of Regents Sat urday accepted the grant from the Office of Education's di vision of Captioned Films for the Deaf. The Regents also approved agreements with state and county agencies calling for the establishment of a Panhandle Mental Health Center and mental retarda tion facility at Scottsbluff. Dr. Robert Stepp, associate professor of educational ad ministration, was named di rector of the hearing center. Stepp has been nationally recognized for his work in developing materials for teaching the deaf and for con ducting workshops and re search seminars in the field of education for the deaf. The main purposes of the center will be to develop and produce instructional ma terials for teaching the deaf, to conduct a national sym posium on research and utili zation of educational media for teaching the deaf and to conduct a summer institute Red Cross Blood Mobile Registers 220 To Donate The University Red Cross will sponsor a traveling blood mobile Thursday from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in the Pan American room of the Ne braska Union. Approximately 220 doners have registered; 250 is the maximum number of dona tions that can be accepted, according to Trudy Lieber man, Red Cross board mem ber. Donors must register with Dorothy Yost before Thursday if they wish to give blood. Donors must be in good health, and at least 18 years of age. Students under 21 must have their parents permission before they can donate. The donors must not have given blood within eight weeks of the donation time, and must have no communi cable disease. No person who has had any Illness in the past month can give blood, nor can anyone has had the following dis eases: jaundice, malaria, un dulant fever, hay fever or than females from the Uni versity have gone into t h e Peace Corps, the Corps pub lic information agency re ported. The Peace Corps is five years old and serves in 56 countries. Ten thousand men and women went into training last year, which was an increase of 20 per cent over 1965. Since the program, 25,000 persons have served in t h e Peace Corps. This year the Peace Corps will be at work in eight new nations or territories: Libya, Mauritania, Chad, Botswana, Paraguay, Guyana, South Ko rea, and the American Trust Territory in the Pacific. A Peace Corps survey re vealed that the Peace Corps volunteer or the person who thinks about becoming a vol unteer tended: to come more" from schools and homes in the East and West; to come from state (thus larger) schools; to major in liberal arts; to be active on campus in areas other than student gov ernment; to be more often women (although about 60 per cent of all volunteers are men); 4o have younger, Detter educated parents; to have fathers who are more often professional or ex ecutives; to come from higher in come families. for teachers of the deaf. The grant for the center is expected to be renewed an nually. Plans for the Panhandle Mental Health Center call for construction of an estimated $150,000 facility to house the center which will handle men tal patients from eight co operating counties. The mental health center is being established by coopera tion of eight western Nebras ka counties, the State Depart ment of Institutions and the University's College of Medi cine. Application has been made to the National Institute of Mental Health for a construc tion grant to finance half the cost of the center facilities. The other half will be matched by these counties: Scottsbluff, Banner, Box Butte, Cheyenne, Deuel, Gar den, Morrill and Sioux. The center will offer ser vices in the areas of consul tation and education, ser vices in local hospitals, out patient service, emergency services' and partial hospita lization of mental patients. The center will also provide vocational rehabilitation for the mentally ill. other allergies, diabetes, or heart diseases. Any student who has been immunized in the past two weeks can not give blood. A donor can not eat for four hours before donating, except for the following foods: cer eals, unfried chicken or fish, bread without butter, coffee, carbonated drinks, and vege tables. Blood that Is donated can be given to the general blood bank or designated for spe cific use. Donors are given points for the blood they give. This will give the donors fam ily an advantage when they are in need of blood. According to Miss Lieber man, the mobile was highly successful last year, and this year should measure up to last year's standards. "This drive gives the stu dent a chance to help other people by giving blood," she said. The blood will not be used for defense, but will be used locally, according to Miss Lieberman. Similar To Bill Of Rights NSGA The Nebraska Student Government Associa tion (NSGA) passed a "State ment of Position" regarding student conduct last weekend at their fall convention in Kearney. The statement is similar to plans for an ASUN Bill of Rights, and its purpose is to "Preserve and to guarantee to the student . . . those con ditions indispensable to t h e full achievement of the ob jectives of higher education." Each item in the s t a t e ment was voted on and passed by NSGA delegates.

Its purpose is to Residents Amend IDC Constitution Dormitory residents have started to place their ideas for an Interdorm Council con stitution into the form of amendments to the defeated constitution. According to Tom Briggs, the Ad Hoc committee which published objections to the original document no longer exists. Briggs said that he a n d former committee member Dave Snyder would be writ ing amendments separately to present at the next Interdorm Coordinating Committee meeting. IDCC chairman Jim Ludwig said that the next meeting would be Nov. 30. Before that time he will be visiting dorm itory meetings to personally seek out objecions. Ludwig added that amend ments would be sought from dorm governments who had opposed the original constitu tion as well as from inter ested students. He predicted that anew constitution could be com pleted by the first week after Christmas vacation, and said that the students would be given more time to con sider the constitution than was granted before the last vote. Pointing out that there were different reasons in differnet dormitories for defeating the constitution, Ludwig said that some were "legitimate disagreements" and some were due to lack of informa tion. Ludwig commented on the fact that the constitution was defeated by the dormitory vote system despite the un animous vote on the document in committee, saying that "there was obviously some thing certain representatives couldn't or didn't foresee in their dormitories." Briggs said that his par ticular amendments would di vide dormitories into districts by population, provide for membership by all d o r m s, and be dependent upon pass age by 50 per cent plus one of all students voting. Briggs added that the name could be changed to "Associ ation of Dormitory Res i d e n t s", financial assess ments should be made on a per-resident basis and amendments should be voted upon by the entire body of residents. Lloyd Reeder, IDCC rep resentative for Burr West, said that some city campus dorms had probably defeated the constitution because of lact of adequate information. He said that the East Camp us dorms had not agreed with the constitution. Dorothy Sato, IDCC repre sentative for Pound Hall, said that she didn't see any con flict with current objections and the original IDC philos ophy. Miss Sato added that pro posed amendments based on these objections would prob ably make the constitution more specific. discuss and find solutions to common problems which arise on a college campus. Member schools include; The University of Nebraska, Kearney, Chadron, Hastings, Dana, Hiram Scott, Wayne, Doane, John J. Pershing, Wes leyan, Norfolk, and McCook. Prospective member schools are being contacted in an effort to increase the size of the organization. Delegates attending the convention from hhe Univer sity included Cheryl Adams, Charles Jurichek, Richard S c h u 1 z e, and Thompson. These delegates were elected by ASUN to attend the meet ing. Thompson, who is the form er NSGA vice president, de feated Hugh Alexander from Doane College for the presi dency, Thompson supported the NSGA "Statement of Po sition" throughout his cam paign, while Alexander was opposed to the statement. Dissenting dorms and stu dents chiefly attacked the method of amendment and adoption, the method of ref erendum, the clause provid ing for non-voting member ships, and the lack of specif, icity on the council's purpose. University To Relocate Greenhouse A low bid of $76,676 for construction and relocation of the botany greenhouse was accepted by the Board of Regents Saturday. The greenhouse will be moved slightly east of its present location between Burnett and Bessey Halls, but will not extend into the mall area. The greenhouse is being moved to clear the site for the construction of a new high-rise classroom-office building. The low bid was submit ted by the T. and M. Con struction Co. of Lincoln. The Regents also approved a $43,930 contract with the Manpower Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor under which the Uni versity will provide out-of-school employment for ap proximately 20 Neighbor hood Youth Corps enrollees. The enrollees will be working in the county ex tension offices throughout the state. In other action the Re gents approved $187,997 in grants and gifts received since Oct. 6. The grants accepted in cluded a $55,763 grant for training and consultation programs for the develop ment of community recrea tion programs in southeast ern Nebraska. The grant was made to W. D. Lutes, assistant director of the Ex tension Division. Reps To Discuss Professional IFC A meeting will be held for representatives of all Univer sity professional fraternities in order to continue plans for what might be the nation's first professional fraternity council Tuesday. The meeting, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Love Library, will be the third meeting attended by the rep resentatives to form some type of coordinating body. Bruce MoXickle, member of Delta Sigma Pi, said that all the fraternities had been sent letters about the meeting and urged a representative from each group to attend. He said at the first two meetings representatives had agreed that by working to gether "all the professional fraternities can be aided greatly to begin performing a more important role at the University."
