A- iT Maps designed for blind XL O A small campus model which is used primarily for planning purposes is playing an important role in the production of a Braille map 'vhich wDl help blind and visually impaired students to have a better knowledge of the location of all campus structures at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. According to Dr. Richard L. Fleming, director of the Office of University Information, where the maps are being prepared, pictures of the model are used as the base on which all structures are displayed. Four variations in the surface texture of the maps will be signposts for the users. Lawns will be represented by a smooth surface; sidewalks will to center Gra duate' Urban Design Program, Syracuse University. Allor was appointed to the College of Architecture faculty as assistant professor of architecture and community and regional planning. He will teach architecture and planning in the college of Architecture in addition to his duties as coordinator of the CDC program. The CDC program gives 5th and 6th year architecture students broad exposure to urban problems and practice in working directly with community groups who would otherwise be unable to work with existing professional consultants. On July 1, the CDC program became a part of the newly-created Community Resource and Research Center (CRRC) of the College of Architecture. The CRRC was created to bring together CDC, the Community Development Unit formerly in the NU Extension Division, and a new unit formed to coordinate research activities of the College of Architecture. As coordinator of CDC, Allor will supervise the academic programs of architecture and planning students participating in the program and work closely with the CDC Board of Directors and community interest groups in the development of public service projects carried out by students in the program. NSF grant The National Science Foun dation has awarded a $21,600 research grant to the Univer sity of Nebraska-Lincoln I'hysies Professor C. Edward Jones. Jones is an elementary particle physicist who is parti cularly interested in strong interactions between particles such as protons and neutrons. The NSF grant he has received will enable him to construct a mnthmal 't"a' model which will explain the interaction of certain forces which occur only 4ni WORTH summer nebraskan 1 I t lfi A I h i .

The hundreds of small details are being assembled by Dsriel C. Watts, a fifth-year student from Bellevue in the College of Architecture. "This is a valuable experience for me because there is a new kind of awareness on the part of architects and planners for the handicapped and their problems. Furthermore, I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to such a unique and worthwhile project." Watts said. "To the best of our knowledge, only one other major university will have an aid available for blind students," Fleming said. About fifteen separate maps will be necessary; in order to cover both Lincoln campuses. The completed master copies will be duplicated by the State of Nebraska Division of Rehabilitation Services for the Visually Impaired by Thermo-Form, a process used to reproduce , documents printed in Braille. A set of maps will be made Folk-music packaged NETV has packaged together several of its most popular folk, country and bluegrass music productions fo form a month-long series billed as "August: a Month of Folk and Country." Pete Seeger, well-known American foiksinger, opens the series Wednesday, August 7 at 9 p.m. Seeger's performance was taped at an open-air concert on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus last fall. " "1 need this Song," the second program in the "Folk and Country" series, features singers Pam Herbert and Rick Evans.

Cadets race for training Fort Lewis, Washington Advanced Camp cadets, includ ing ROTC cadets from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will have a chance to participate in one of the world's more unusual outdoor sports this summer. The sport is called Orienteering. The sport which came to the United States from Sweden in 1X4C is a cross country race similar to a car rally in which the object is to start out, locate a number of designated targets, called control points, and return to the starting position before any of the other contestants. Unlike rally, however, Orienteering is run on foot over unfamiliar, unmarked wilder ness terrain, with only a map and a compass for a guide. The Orienteering course which the cadets will be running has thirty different control points, every one of which the cadet must locate while still being able to return to the starting point within two and a half hours from the starting time of the race. The cadets will get to try their hand at Orienteering as part of their training in land navigation. However, before they are set loose in the forest on their own, cadets are first given eight hours of instruction in land navigation. They are given a map reading review, practical exercises in land navigation such as, a terrain walk to learn how to match map symbols to actual terrain conditions and a night compass course where cadets are given distances and directions and then partake on a three-legged course guided only by a compass. Following their instructions, the cadets are tested on what they have learned. They take a graded terrain walk to check their ability to match terrain features with the map symbols. The cadets are then given a land navigation test in which they must find their way to various locations using a map and a compass. The last part of the testing is the Orienteering course, for which the cadets must put all of their skills together if they are to complete the course successfully. A score of at least ninety-five points on the testing phase is needed to gain credit toward their P.econdo badges, which are awarded at the close of the camp session.
