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

approved agreements with
state and county agencies
calling for the establishment
of a Panhandle Mental Health

Dr. Robert Stepp, associate
professor of educational ad

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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."
