This week was Agriculture Week at Oklahoma
State University, according to the Oklahoma
State Daily O'Collecian. Activities included a
cow milking contest Monday and the selection of
an Agriculture Queen.
Agriculture Week was sponsored by the
Oklahoma State Division of Agriculture.
A University of Texas at Austin regent
defended the regent's power to select a new
president for the university. He claimed it is
impossible for 41,000 students and 40 Faculty
Senate members to agree on a selection and said,
"someone has to have the authority," according
to the university's Daily Texan.
The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission
has found that a number of storage practices for
radioactive materials at the University of Iowa
"appear to be in noncompliance with
commission requirements," Jim Fleming, Daily
Iowan editor, reported.
The commission inspection was prompted by
an investigation by the Daily Iowan into
radioactive material storage.
At the University of Kansas, student
organizations are disputing money allocations of
the Student Senate, according to a report in the
University's Daily Kansan.
The Student Services Council told members of
the KU Student Senate some organizations
would have to stop or sharply curtail services if
the senate failed to allocate additional money to
them.
Other reports from KU indicate that
dormitory vandalism has declined this year. The
KU director of housing credited the
improvement to the students and student
attitudes.
Residence hall rates at Kent State University,
Kent, Ohio, are scheduled to rise an average $45
to $65 per quarter next year. Rate hikes will vary
widely with the type and size of room, according
to a report in the Daily Kent Stater. Officials at
the university said rate increases are due to gas,
heating, electricity and overall maintenance cost
increases.
Alcohol progrom director
looking for locol financing

The Alcohol Fellows will be the people who
plan and set up programs for the training of
paraprofessionals in this area, he said.
With the idea in mind, the UNL program was
started as the first of its kind in the nation in
1972 with a grant from the National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. The
$25,000-a-year grant ends in 1977.
"I have tried to move support away from the
federal government, to local funding," he said. "I
would like to seek funding that is not as
temporary as the federal grant."
The original grant is sponsoring two of the
UNL Alcohol Fellows and money from a
Veterans Administration hospital in South
Dakota is sponsoring another. Rivers said he
would like to get three to five openings
sponsored by the state or by federai money given
to the state.
Because of a lack of funds, he said he only can
accept one person a year to be an Alcohol
Fellow. Many of the people from all over 'the
country who apply for acceptance into the
program have to be refused, he said.
Doesn't advertise
"I don't advertise the program because I don't
want to have to turn away too many people,"
Rivers said.
Since UNL started its program, the University
of Alabama and Vandcrbilt University in
Nashville, Tenn., have established similar
programs. These programs are a "year or so"
behind UNL's, he said.
"They have not become programs yet," he
said. "They are still developing."
While the Alcohol Fellows are specializing in
alcohol problems, Rivers said, they also must be
good psychologists in ail areas.
This is important because "psychologists
serving in alcohol treatment centers often are
seen as in-house experts and the many alcohol
clients who come to them may have other
psychological problems," he said.
Program development
In their alcohol training, Alcohol Fellows
study areas of program development,
consultation techniques, agency personnel
training and direct service, including group and
individual therapy.
They have worked with such area agencies as
the Lincoln Council on Alcohol and Drugs, the
Lincoln Alcohol Safety Action Project (LASAP)
and the Lincoln Intake and Referral Center.
Students also have developed and taught a
college level course for Lincoln policemen and
conducted a workshop for training secretaries in
alcohol agencies.
The secretaries' workshop was to help train
the secretaries to be more comfortable in
meeting people with alcohol problems, Rivers
said. The police course tried to get policemen to
explore their own feelings about the problem
drinker and to visit alcohol agencies to see how
they work.
Students involved
In both cases, the students were involved at
the beginning-of the projects in planning them,
during the execution of the projects in teaching
them and at the end in evaluating the work and
writing up reactions, he said.
The Alcohol Fellows also have worked with
community employers in helping them locate
employes who may have alcphol problems, to get
them to a counselor early, and have conducted
two group therapy sessions with problem
drinkers.
Rivers said all the projects have research built
into them and most end with a paper being
written about the results.
Last semester the Alcohol Fellows developed
an undergraduate course, "Social Aspects of
Alcohol," which is being offered through the NU
Extension Division.
He said the program concerns the problem
drinker as well as the alcoholic.
"My concern is broader than the alcoholic,"
he said. "I have to worry about people getting
involved with alcohol early. We want to intervene
when they are just getting into problems."
This problem includes the 9 million alcoholics
in the country, he said.
Rivers said that if it is assumed that each
problem drinker affects four people or family
members, 36 million people in all are affected by
alcohol abuse.
"If most people knew the magnitude," he
said, they would be frightened.
