ESU Dental College Program
Aids Sanfee Sioun Indians
By Karen Steinbruegge
NU Journalism Student
Desperate. Isolated. Alone. In need of
help. This is how one University of
Nebraska student described the Santee
Sioux Indians of the Niobrara reservation.
Some people, however, are trying to
help the Santee Sioux. Pat Ford, NU
dental student, described a program
started last November by the NU College
of Dentistry. Ford heads the project.
Under this program students and an
instructor go to the reservation, usually
on weekends, and provide dental care for
the Indians. The participants provide
their own food and, according to Ford,
sleep on the clinic floor in sleeping bags.
The project was started following a
survey conducted about one and one half
years ago by the Nebraska State Planning
and development Commission.
The survey found that health care was
a "great weakness" among Indians,
according to Robert Mackey, a Santee
Sioux who is the director of the Nebraska
Indian Commission. Mackey said that at
the time of the survey, the Santee Sioux
were receiving only token care. He said
dental priority went to children, while
adults' teeth were neglected. This was one
reason a program was needed, he said.
The program is now being administered
in conjunction with the Public Health
Service, whose Aberdeen, S.D., office is
closest to the reservation.
"Normally the Public Health Service
has been very good," said Mackey, "but
now they're dragging their feet."
He cited a 45000 grant currently in
Aberdeen as an example. The grant,
according to Mackey, came through
about a month ago signed to the NU
Dental College. Mackey said the grant was
now "lying dormant."
Ford, however, disagreed with Mackey,
saying he thought the Public Health
Service was doing a lot for the Indians.
He said he has considered working with
the organization after his graduation next
year.
Both lord and Mackey agreed that
there is a lack of manpower in the Public
Health Service. Mackey said for every
7000 Indians there is one part-time Public
Health Service dentist. He said he felt the
Indians needed at least six full-time
dentists.
So far, according to Ford, ahout 50
dental students have participated in the
program. Approximately 20 of these
students were members of the recently
graduated senior class.
There is a chain of command now.
Ford said, so that when he graduates
there will be someone to take over. He
said he didn't want to see the project
collapse, because "that's happened too
many times in Nebraska."
Ford took charge of the project from
dentistry student Mike Kern, the original
program head. Kern is still involved in the
program.
Calling the project extremely
worthwhile, Ford said, "We couldn't have
done it without the cooperation of the
University, although people weren't too
sure about our project at first."
There is no University credit given for
working in the program, but Ford, a
member of the Dentistry curriculum
committee, said he hopes to have
participants receiving extra credit
sometime in the future. He added that
the program should remain on a volunteer
basis, with students working in
association with the Public Health
Service. Ford said an instructor and a
student should go to the Niobrara
reservation on a rotating weekly basis
during the school year.
Ford explained that if the Indians
don't receive denial care from the student
dentists, they have to travel to Wagner,
S.D., 85 miles away by car or 50 miles by
ferry, which "is never working "
"The majority of Sanlee Sioux know
of our service. The beginning was slow.
There aren't as many people using it as
there should be," Ford said.
He added he thought it was mainly a
problem of not being able to get to the
health care unit. As an example, he said
in winter the roads are so bad that the
dentists have a hard time getting to the
reservation However, Ford said he felt
the dentists' work is being appreciated.
One of the Indians' biggest health
problems is "an acute lack of proper
nutrition." Ford said. He cited vitamin
deficiency as an example.

t, K

Man of La Mancha."
Although no similar projects are
currently being planned. Ford said there
are tremendous possibilities for working
with Head Slart al three or four
state-wide clinics. He added that lack of
men and time has kept the project from
being started.
Ford said that generally Ihose people
who are "willing (o give of themselves
and their time" and who are "really
interested" should work on these
programs.
"You can't really make an overall
siatement about the Indians. They're as
widely varied as anybody else. They've
got their good ones and bad ones, they've
got their problems . . . they've got their
ups and downs," Ford said.

NASA Chief To Discuss
Future of U.S. in Space
The new administrator of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration,
Dr. James C. Fletcher, will be the guest
speaker at the 1 97 1 Avery Lectureship
June 25 at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln.
Dr Fletcher will discuss "America's
Future in Space" at a luncheon at 12
noon Friday in the Nebraska Union under
auspices of the NU Summer Sessions, the
Palladian Literary Society, and Phi Delta
Kappa, honorary educational fraternity.
The lecture is part of the centennial
observance of the Palladian Literary
Society.
U.S. Senator Carl Curtis will introduce
Dr. Fletcher at the luncheon.
Dr. Joseph Soshnik, president of the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will be
master of ceremonies at the luncheon
which will include NU students, faculty,
state officials, city officials, and other
interested persons in the community.
Reservations for the luncheon may be
made by contacting Dr. Ronald Joekel,
room 104B, Henzlik Hall, University of
Nebraska-Lincoln, phone 472-3 151.
Those who do not plan to attend the
luncheon but would like to hear Dr.
Fletcher's address also should make a
reservation to assure adequate seating.
The lecture is expected to begin about 1
p.m. Friday.
Dr. Fletcher, a native of Millbum, N. J.
who holds a B.A. degree from Columbia
University and a Ph .D. from the California
Institute of technology, was appointed
NASA administrator on Feb. 27 of this
year by President Nixon.
He became president of the University
of Utah in 1964 after two decades of
leadership in industry, government, and
military activities. In his career as a
research scientist, he developed patents in
areas as diverse as sonar devices and
missile guidance systems. He continues
his interest in science through national
committee work, having served on more
than SO national committees and as
chairman of 10.
In March 1967, after serving as
consultant since its inception in 19S8, Dr.
Fletcher was appointed by President
Johnson to membership on the
President's Science Advisory Committee.
He also has served on the President's
Committee on the National Medal of
Science, and on several Presidential Task
Forces, the most recent being the Task
Force on Higher Education.
Dr. Fletcher organized and was the
first president of the Space Electronics
Corp. in 1958. The firm developed and
produced the Able Star stage of the
Thor-Able space carrier and had grown to
300 employees by 1960 when controlling
He fin
aginative, Authentic
"Mancha," "We Bombed in New Haven"
and "Macbeth."
"The designs for 'The Man of La
Mancha' were made last summer when 1
costumed the show in California,"
Vybiral explained.
He added that he was attempting to
make the costumes for the play as
realistic as possible.
" 'La Mancha' is a pretty ragged
show," he said , "since it takes place in a
Spanish prison. In order to make the
characters look real we have to make
them look like prisoners-ragged and
dirty.
"We are dying and painting most of the
costumes so that the prisoners do look
dirty. In order to make them look ragged
we are going to make the costumes and
then tear them up a bit-that way the
prisoners will look ragged and the
costumes should hold up for the entire
season."
Most of the costumes for "The Man of
La Mancha" Hre very dark in color,
Vybiral said, and quite a lot of leather is
being used.
The costumes for the two main
characters in the play, Don Quixote and
Aldon.a, Vybiral explained, will conform
to the designs for the rest of the
characters, but will be somewhat
different.
The costume for Don Quixote, the
knight attempting to restore the age of
chivalry, he said, will be made out of
olive-gold linen crushed velour and will be
made to look rich but old and shabby.
"Quixote's tihirt will be white,"
Vybiral added. "Since this is one of the
few light colors in the show it will serve
to call attention to the knight. He will
also be wearing Celastic armour made to
look like rusty steel."
Aldonza, the serving-girl Quixote
believes to be his dream-ideal, will wear a
leather jerkin -cut from a comet pattern
from the 1 860s, Vybiral said. He added
that the jerkin will be made of many
small pieces, all sewn and glued together.
"Her skirt," be said, "will be made out
of an old cape from a production of
'Macbeth' done five years ago '
The costumes for "We Bombed in Mew
Haven," Vybiral said, will be authentic
U.S. Air Force uniforms. All of the
costumes for the play, he added, will be
completely realistic.
"The play is non-realistic," he said,
"but we are approaching the costumes
from a realistic angle. This is because the
statement that the play makes is ery
real. The audience should understand that
it is not any Air Force we are talking
about but the United States Air Force."
The civilian costumes are very modern.
Vybiral explained, with a alight amount
Dr. James C. Fletcher
interest was sold to Aerojet General Corp.
A year later, Space electronics Corp. was
merged with the spacecraft division of
Aerojet to form Space General Corp. Dr.
Fletcher was responsible for the
formation of this new corporation and
was its first president.
The Avery Lectureship program is part
of the centennial observance of the
Palladian Literary Society in Lincoln. The
society also is sponsoring a luncheon and
a centennial banquet on Saturday June
26) in the Nebraska Union and several
open house reunions during the weekend,
according to Donald J. Kroger of Lincoln,
president of Palladian. The centennial
banquet will be conducted on the basis of
the format of Palladian meetings 300
years ago.

"For instant. " he said, "the golfer
and hunter who change into military
police as the play progresses are costumed
as a golfer and a hunter. But, they just
happen to be costumed in Ted, white and
blue."
Vybiral explained that he has not
designed the costumes for '"Macbeth"
yet. He added that he is thinking about a
barbaric sort of costume and about the
influence of actual Viking costumes.
"The play is really set in no period,"
he said, "and to that extent the costumes
will be somewhat fanciful. We're not
designing for a certain period, but for the
idea of the play."
The costumes in a play help create the
mood and enable the audience to imagine
themselves as part of the play. Equally
important in creating this mood is the
scenery and lighting.
Jerry Lewis, NU assistant professor of
technical theatre, is designing the scenery
and lighting for the three plays to be
performed by the repertory company this
summer.
Lewis explained that "The Man of La
Mancha'. will be set in a 16th Century
Spanish Prison.
"Since a prison is normally dark," he
said, "most of the effect in the play will
hopefully be acquired through the use of
light. Shadows and patterns will be
important in this play."
He added that some of the scenery
design is dictated by the script and some
by technical requirements..
"One -of the problems we
encountered," Lewis said, "was trying to
devise a place for the orchestra to sit. "La
Mancha'' is a musical and since Howell
Theatre .doesn't have an orchestra filt we
had to camouflage the orchestra behind a
screen at the back of the stage."
The setting for "We Bombed in New
Haven," Lewis said, "will be almost an
empty stage." He explained that the
actors dismantle some of the -scenery as
the play progresses.
"An important part of the scenery fcr
this play," he added, "is m translucent
area in the ceiling. This serves both as a
lighting mechanism and as, later in the
play, a sort of projection screen. Slides
will he shown on this screen .depicting
various military ctivities."
Like the -costumes, the scenery for
"Macbeth" is still in the planning stages.
Lewis, however, does have -some ideas
about what he wants to 4o for the play.
"We are planning to use heavy
textures," he said, "'but we're not going
to attempt to create a Scottish -caRtle type
of environment. Right now we're looking
at the ntyle of the Vikings and the
Norsemen for ideas."
