Media projects for the deaf
awarded research contract
UNLclub hamming it up
The Media Development Project for the
Hearing Impaired at UNL has been award
ed a three-year contract from the Depart
ment of Health, Education and Welfare for
$503,000 per year, with an option for
another two vears.
This is the fourteenth consecutive year
that the' project has been in operation, said
Robert E. Stepp Jr., project director.
Those working on the project will
search for and study educational materials
for the hearing impaired. They have the
authority to modify these materials, too,
if they think a change is necessary, Stepp
said.
A special staff of teachers of the deaf,
media specialists and subject matter
specialists has been hired for the project.
An annual symposium about
educational techniques for teaching the
handicapped will be conducted, Stepp said.
If those working on the project discover
a particular area with no available instruc
tional material for the deaf, they design
and produce such material, he said.
From 1966 to 1974, the UNL project
was the Midwest Regional Media Center for
the Deaf, which served 12 states.
From 1974 to 1977,' it was the
nationally specialized office for the deaf
and hard of hearing.
The information gathered by the study
is compiled in a computer at Ohio State
University.
"Over three years, we reviewed some
15,000. pieces of material," Stepp said.
These abstracts are in the computer
now, and it is possible for teachers of the
deaf to acquire the information on request
using a selective description including
subject matter, grade level, and handicap
condition, Stepp said.
The UNL Block and Bridle Club
Christmas ham sale is underway, according
to Doug Winz, club president.
The club will sell Hormel Cure 81 hams
at $2.49 per pound for half hams and
$2.47 per pound for whole hams, Winz
said.
The club has 21,000 pounds of ham on
order. The club will take one-third the pro
fit of a retail store because of the lower
prices, he said.
Winz said profits from the sale, the
club's only money-making event, are used
to finance the organization's other
functions, such as the Little Ak-Sar-Ben
showmanship contest and the queen
coronation and livestock judging contests.
Blpck and Bridle is a national organiza
tion formed to -promote the livestock
industry and interest in animal husbandry,
Winz said.
The club is trie largest student organiza
tion at UNL with more than 130 members,
Winz said. Membership is open to anyone
who has taken at least one animal science
class.
