The American Society of Extra-Corporal Technology (AmSECT) -- technicians, surgeons,

and para-medical personnel concerned with heart-lung and kidney-dialysis machines __

will hold its seventh annual conference July 16-19 in Detroit, Mich.

Some 800 technicians, physicians, nurses, administrators, and engineers will be dis-

cussing organ transplantation and preservation, kidney dialysis, and cardio-pulmonary

technology.

AmSECT President James B. Wade, supervisor of the experimental surgery laboratories

at the University of Minnesota, explained that clinical extra-corporal technology

(mechianical means to stimulate and perpetuate the functions of the human body) is a

recent benefit of medical science.

Every day hundreds of chronically ill people with severe kidney problems rely on

artificial kidney machines and skilled medical technologists to cleanse their blood

allowing them to lead relatively normal productive lives.

Oxygenation technology -- the use of a by-pass pump to perpetuate blood circulation

during open heart surgery -- has been used successfully for more than 15 years. The

system, it is anticipated, may be used for longer periods to give a malfunctioning

heart two or three days' rest.

Wade emphasized more knowledge would be needed to make long-term oxygenation a

clinical reality. He also cited the growing importance of organ and tissue preservation

as an example of extra-corporal technique.

PROGRAM SEEKS IMPROVEMENTIN LIBRARIES FOR INDIANS


Better library facilities and services for Minnesota Indians is the purpose of a

new program being conducted under the auspices of the Minnesota State Department of

Education and the University of Minnesota.

Representatives from 48 Minnesota schools with large American Indian enrollments

are currently attending a five-week orientation institute at the University of Minne-

sota. They include certified librarians, teachers and teacher aides from rural and

urban, public and private schools.

When the participants have completed the orientation phase of the program July 18,

they will establish resource centers in their home communities to serve both in-school

and out-of-school programs for all ages. During the coming school year they will at-

tend five three-day workshops at various locations throughout the state and next June

will return to the University campus for a two-week summary institute.

The program is directed toward understanding the culture, heritage and needs of

the American Indian people; developing techniques for communication; and developing

individual library programs with emphasis on preschool and adult activities.

Basic materials~ books and instructional materials for the resource centers will 1

be provided for each of the 48 schools in the program.

More than a quarter million dollars, including a recent federal grant of $135,000

to the University for this purpose~ is being used to fund the program. Part of the

money will come from federal grants to the Minnesota State Department of Education for

the purpose of imp.r.'oving Innian pnuc:i1:ion in Minnesota.#

FIRST SUMMER SESSIONENROLLMENT AT 'U'DOWN SLIGHTLY FROM 1968


Enrollment for the first Summer Session at the University of Minnesota is down

slightly from the all-time record set in the same session a year ago. Currently

there are 17,039 registered; just 144 fewer than in 1968 for a decrease of less than

one per cent. Of those, 9,532 are men and 7,507 are women.

Undergraduate attendance at each of the three campuses (Twin Cities, Duluth and

Morris) is somewhat lower than for 1968, although graduate-student registration at

the first two campuses is slightly higher than a year ago.

IIIn view of the major enrollment increases experienced in the 1968 Summer Session,

it was anticipated that there would be a leveling off in 1969,11 Willard L. Thompson,

dean of Summer Session, said today. "Meanwhile, our Summer Session continues to be

the largest in the nation."

He added that course offerings were expanded again this year "to meet the needs

of students who increasingly make use of the Summer Session as a fourth quarter of

study." He estimated that more than half of those enrolled this summer will prove

to be regularly enrolled University students.

Most of the colleges on the Twin Cities campus showed a small decrease in num-

bers of students, such as the College of Liberal Arts, from 5,846 to 5,834. However,

a few colleges, such as School of Business Administration, School of Dentistry and

College of Veterinary Medicine, showed slight gains.

The General College showed an increase of more than 14 per cent, a growth consistent with that of the last four years. Its dean, Alfred Vaughan, speculated thatthe establishment of junior colleges throughout the state may have called attentionto the value of a two-year degree, which may have focused attention on the two-yearGeneral College.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul campus enrollment is 15,317; Duluth campus, 1,535; andMorris, 187. In addition to these regular, daytime figures, some 2,500 people areregistered for General Extension Division evening classes, an increase of almost50 per cent.

ARTS WORKSHOPS TO BE HELD WITHART EXHIBITION IN REDWOOD FALLS

(FOR RELEASE THURSDAY, JULY 10)

Workshops in several arts will be offered in connection with the Southwest Minne-

sota Art Exhibition in Redwood Falls Aug. 13 through 17.

The exhibition, open to amateur artists in a 24-county area, and the workshops,

open to anyone who is interested, are under the direction of the University of Minneso-

ta Agricultural Extension Service and the General Extension Division.

University faculty members will teach one and two-day workshops in batik, tie dye

and bleach, macrame, drawing and design, watercolor, and wood. A former president of

the Minnesota Weavers' Guild will teach a weaving workshop.

Batik is a process in which clear wax is painted on fabric prior to dyeing, so

that certain areas aren't affected as strongly by the dye, explains Huldah Curl, Uni-

versity coordinator of continuing education in art.

Tie dyeing and bleaching are similar processes in which fabric is folded and tied

before being dipped in dye or bleach.

Macrame knotting cord is an intricate process, but the results can be

beautiful, Miss Curl says. Wall hangings, room dividers and a kind of coarse lace

are among the things the process can be used to make.

All the workshops are for beginners as well as those with some experience. They

will be held indoors and outdoors on the Redwood County fairgrounds.

Registration fee is $15 for each two-day workshop and $7.50 for one-day workshops;

several have materials. fees of $5 or under.

Early registration is necessary so that information on materials can be distributed

to participants in advance. Inquiries can be directed to county extension offices or

to Miss Curl at 316 Nolte Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn. 55455.

'WRITERS READ READERS WRITE' TO BE TOPIC OF'u' INSTITUTE ON CHILDREN, CREATIVE WRITING


Children who write well probably also read, and children who read well probably

also write, says Naomi Chase, co-chairman of the University of Minnesota's annual

institute on creative writing for and by children.

On that assumption, "Writers Read -- Readers Write" was chosen as the theme of

the fifth institute, to be held July 21 through 25 in Nolte Center on the Minneapolis

campus.

An exchange of ideas among elementary school teachers, college instructors, auth-

ors and others interested in the topic is the purpose of the institute, which is

sponsored by the College of Education and the General Extension Division.

Faculty members for this institute represent many aspects of the relationship

between creative writing and children. The faculty includes Professor Ruth Kearney

Carlson (Cal-State College, Hayward, Calif.), who writes about creativity in children's

writing; Professor Doris Young Kuhn (University of Houston), who writes about books

for children; and New York author Mary O'Neill, who writes children's books.

Associate Professor Naomi Chase and Professor Norine Odland, both in elementary

education and co-chairmen of the institute, plus two Minnesota teachers also will be

on the faculty.

Registration remains open through the General Extension Division's Department

(FeR RELEASE AT If A.M. FRIDAY, JULY 11)

R. E. Summers, dean of admissions and records at the University of 11innesota for

the last 23 years, will take on a new assignment this academic year, the first person

to hold a ne~1T position called "administrators on special assignment. Ii

The University's Board of Regents today named Dean Summers to the post, ~~hich

will involve serving as special consultant to the vice president for student affairs,

Paul Cashman. Summers, 68, is slated to retire next June.

"In too many cases, outstanding administrators complete their careers ~1ithout an

opportunity to bring into focus their enormously valuable perceptions of the University

as a ,;~hole, 11 President Halcolm Noos said today in recommending the appointment. tlRe-

cognizing this, I have asked that we attempt to find new ways to allow the experience

of able administrative officers to be made fully available to the University as their

careers are coming to an end."

Vice President Cashman added that "President Hoos and I are particularly pleased

that Dean Summers will undertake this assignment because of his many years in the

administration of this University. He will bring to the task keen insight based upon

his work as an administrator and his experience in national organizations dealing

with higher education."

Cashman said that Dean Summers would be asked to do a good deal of traveling to

colleges and universities throughout the United States as one phase of his assignment.

"Nationally, many new approaches to the relationships between students and their

colleges are in progress," Cashman said. "He expect the dean will assess these var-

ious efforts and help us develop recommendations for change in University procedures

as a result. II

new position. "I vie'to1 this as a distinct honor and a challenging new assignment,

sions area.II

URBAN JAZZ TO BE FEATUREDIN SUMMER FESTIVAL AT 'u'


"Only a city, and a big one, has the diversity needed for the devel-

opment of a new art form -- and can provide an audience for it," says

William C. Rogers of the University of Minnesota.

"Jazz, which originated among the black people in American cities,

is the only distinct, original American contribution to world culture."

Rogers, a serious jazz devotee in private life, is director of the

General Extension Division's program of continuing education in urban

affairs, which is sponsoring a free urban jazz festival at the Univer-

sity ~ug. 4, 6, 7 and 8.

An educational program illustrating the styles and backgrounds of

the traditional jazz of several American cities, the festival will fea-

ture four Twin Cities jazz groups and program notes by Professor John

Lucas of Carleton College.

Each band will playa different style of jazz at 8 p.m. on the steps

of Northrop auditorium (inside in case of rain). The groups are:

Aug. 4

Aug. 6

Doc Evans' Original Minnesota Dixielanders. Evans, according to Rogers, is "one of the few great jazzmen in theUnited States who hasn't left his home."

The Hall Brothers New Orleans Jazz Band. The group willplaya New Orleans funeral sequence, numbers with geographical meaning in New Orleans ("Burgundy Street Blues"),and numbers about the work of the city (I/Coal Cart Blues").

The program notes, by Professor John (Jax) Lucas, internationally

known as a writer on jazz, are a genuine contribution to the knowledge

of American music, Rogers said. They include a piece on the roots of

Urban jazz in general, as well as notes on all the selections to be per-

formed by the bands.

"The origins of jazz, however complex and obscure, all acknowledge somecity or other as center. There was country jazz at the turn of thecentury as there is today, but its instrumentation was primitive andits appeal limited. Jazz began as good-time music and people witha pocketful to convert into a snootful naturally gravitated to thenearest big town."

WAR IS THEME OF NAGRINDANCE TO BE PRESENTED AT'U'-GRA~D RAPIDS CENTER


Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War, the thirty-year conflict between

Athens and Sparta which he predicted would be man's most terrible and last war, pro-

vides the framework for dancer-choreographer Daniel Nagrin's most famous solo perform-

ance.

Nagrin will perform his "Peloponnesian War" dance/theatre collage at the University

of Minnesota Grand Rapids Summer Arts Study Center at Sugar Hills resort at 7:30 p.m~

at Brockport, N.Y.

A multi-track tape score of music and electronic sound is used in the collage,

which Nagrin composed while he was artist-in-residence at the State University College

Tickets will be available at the door.

The presentation marks the end of a week-long workshop in dance conducted byNagrin and the end of the study center's first season.

Saturday, Aug. 2.

The project, sponsored by the University's General Extension Division and theGrand Rapids Performing Arts Council, has been judged a success, according to DaleHuffington, its director.

"We are pleased by the response of the participants and the Grand Rapids community. Although there will be some changes, we are fairly certain that there will be anarts study and performance center in Grand Rapids next summer," Huffington said.

#SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Nagrin, a New Yorker, says of his art: "We have learned to distrust appearance, surface, skin. We now demand to know what happens deep inside regardless of what itwill look like. To manipulate the dancer's body before the mirror, to make itlook like something we think is beautiful and true is to compound the half-truthsin the worn-out hand-me-downs of the past."

The dance workshop he will conduct at Grand Rapids is for beginning and advanced students of dance and will include classes in technique and composition. Registration remains open through the Drama Advisory Service, 320 Wesbrook Hall, University of Minnes~a, Minneapolis, ~iinn. 55455.

'u' TO AID STUDENTS HURT BY TUITION INCREASE

by Patricia Juliani

Assurance that no eligible student will be kept out of the University of Minnesota

is the goal of the Board of Regents' move to borrow half a million dollars for a loan

fund.

The plan follows the board's commitment to the student body, when tuition fees were

raised in April, that it would take steps to provide financial aid to any student for

whom the increase ($105 a year) would create a hardship.

The plan also takes into account the recent decreases in federal student loan pro-

grams, according to Pierre Meyer, director of the Office of Student Financial Aids.

The Regents committee that recommended the $500,000 loan, under the chairmanship of

Regent Elmer L. Andersen, reports that about 1,600 students can expect no financial aid

from their families. These students are to be found on all four University campuses

(Twin Cities, Duluth, Morris and Crookston).

To serve these students and those who would be affected by decreases in federal loan

programs and the genera! tightening of bank loans, the committee also suggested changes

in the lending policies for the University Trust Fund Loans. This fund includes all

loan money not directly connected with the federal government.

In the past, students had to be enrolled at the University for two quarters before

they were eligible for such a loan. Now, any needy student who is in good academic

standing, or any prospective student who shows the potential for academic success is eli-

gible for a loan. The amount a student can borrow from the University has also been

raised.

Meyer encourages students to come in for individual counseling. Often students areeligible for ~id who might not think they are. The first step in receiving financial aidis to fill out a need application and a parent's confidential statement. Students attending the Twin Cities campus of the University should write to the Office of StudentFinancial Aids, 107 Armory, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn. 55455.Students at other campuses of the University should write to their school's financialaids officer.

"No vacancy" is the word from the University of rUnnesota Student Housing Bureau

concerning off-campus housing in the University area.

Students will have to consider living away from the campus area, according to

Margaret Space, associate director of the bureau.

Housing in the East and l~est Hank and Como vicinities was scarce and expensive

to be~in with, and now it's almost non-existent, says lliss Space.

Though apartments in outlying areas are usually less expensive, there are trans-

portation problems to consider.

ROGER KENNEDY NANED'u' VICE PRESIDENT,U OF M FOUNDATION HEAD

(FOR RELEASE AT 9 A.H. TUESDAY, AUG. 5)

Roger G. Kennedy, senior vice president and chairman of the executive conmittee

of Northwestern National Bank of St. Paul, today was named vice president for invest-

ments of the University of 11innesota and executive director of the University

Foundation.

Kennedy, 42, will assume the two positions in September. He will remain a

member of Northwestern Bank's executive committee and its board of directors.

University President Ha1co1m Hoos announced Kennedy's appointment at a news

conference today on behalf of the Reeents' executive committee and the foundation

executive committee. Formal Board of Regents' approval of his position is expected

at the Sept. 12 board meeting.

Hoos expressed "great pleasure that we have been able to attract 1ir. Kennedy

into the service of the University and the foundation. '1 He mentioned Kennedy's

"leadership in public service, particularly in the area of urban development," citing

his presidency of the St. Paul Urban Coalition and his work with the Inner City Youth

League, among others.

"His decision to undertake a new career devoted to the development of the

University gives us outstanding leadership for major functions of material importance

to our strength,1l Hoos stated.

As vice president for investments, Kennedy will lolork closely l.rith }Iale Champion,

recently named vice president for ~lanning and operations. Each will assume some of

the l.rork carried out by Laurence R. Lunden, former vice president for business ad-

ministration and now vice president and consultant to the president. The two new

positions are part of an overall reorganization plan by President Hoos.

(!"Ior.E)

Kennedy's post with the foundation is separate from the vice presidency, as the

foundation is a separate legal entity. Its function is to seek private support for

University needs for which legislative funds are generally not available. Fred J.

Lauerman recently announced his Sept. 30 resignation as director of the foundation

to become vice chancellor for institutional resources of the tfinnesota State College

System.

vfuile Kennedy will assume many of the responsibilities previously carried out

by Lauerman, the dual nature of his position is expected to promote even greater inter-

action between the foundation and the central administration of the University.

Bernard H. Ridder, Jr., president of the foundation, stated that the foundation

"considers it most fortunate to secure the services of Roger Kennedy. He has had a

broad experience in financial affairs as well as having taken an active and construc-

tive interest in a host of civic affairs in the Twin Cities area. By education,

business experience and cultural interest we feel he is eminently qualified to become

executive director of the foundation."

Kennedy's salary of $40,000 will be shared by the University and the foundation.

'u' STUDENTS GRADECOURSES, PROFESSORS


~ Most of the students surveyed at the University of Minnesota give their profes-

~ sors passing grades, according to a course evaluation booklet published by the

~ Minnesota Student Association (MSA).

"Salvage" is a listing of 115 courses, with brief explanations of course content,

required work, and most importantly, evaluations of the courses and their professors

by students who have taken them. The booklet will be given to all entering freshmen

this fall with additional copies available in the MSA office and at other campus loca-

tions.

Professors who were rated the highest by students were"enthusiastic about their

subjects, accessible to students who needed special help, and concerned about their

students' progress."

"We included both positive and negative comments about the courses and pro-

fessors," says Barbara Rudolph, MSA vice president who headed the "Salvage" staff.

liThe first course evaluation MSA did included only the good thi~gs."

Several professors received all I ratings, the highest possible.

"There were a few courses that rated very badly, but these were the exceptions,"

says Miss Rudolph. "Usually if a course was weak in one area, such as the lecture

section, it would make up for it in the smaller recitation sections."

The booklet concentrates on courses that are frequently taken as electives and

courses that are needed to fill lower division requirements.

Included in the booklet is a page of "funnies" taken from the students' comments,

such as "filling out this questionnaire is the most interesting thing we've done all

quarter."

'MUSHROOM CLOUD'SHOWS POPULATION EXPLOSIONAT U'S STATE FAIR EXHIBIT


Fun-seekers at this year's Minnesota State Fair should be pre-

pared for a shock when they enter the Education building. The Univer-

sity of Minnesota has prepared one for them.

At the end of the building opposite the entrance is a huge nuclear-

bomb-like cloud. But this cloud is unique because it is loaded with

scurrying little people; it's the population explosion cloud.

"Fall-out" from this population explosion, as presented in the

University eXhibit, includes displays symbolic of air pollution and

water pollution, and an example of artful garbage under glass. Clocks

spinning away at the back of the booth depict the world's rapid popu-

lation growth.

Visitors to the booth may obtain colorful little pamphlets ex-

plaining what pollution is, who pays for it, and suggesting what

people can do to prevent it.

The exhibit has been prepared by the College of Biological Sci-.

ences at the University in cooperation with a number of other colleges

and departments.

MATH, ASTRONOMYTO BE TAUGHT INSEPT. WOMEN'S COURSES


Traveling at a given speed, how long a time would a voyage to Mars require?

More women are able to answer this question this year than last, accord-

ing to Mrs. Louise Roff, director of continuing education for women in the

University of Minnesota General Extension Division.

Mrs. Roff commented on what she sees as the positive effects of space travel

on knowledge of the universe as she announced two non-credit short courses in

which women might take new interests in space and technology a step further.

The courses, in astronomy and mathematics, are scheduled for September.

The math course, in addition to being useful for future courses in science and

math, is for students of the social sciences in which facility in working with

statistics is important, Mrs. Roff said.

"Time and Space" will be taught at MacPhail Center, 1128 LaSalle ave.,

Minneapolis, by Karlis Kaufmanis, an associate professor of astronomy, on

Thursday mornings Sept. 4 through 25.

Kay Blair, formerly of the Minnesota School Mathematics Center, will teach

the math course on the Minnespolis campus on Tuesday and Friday mornings Sept. 9

through 26.

'u' EVENING CLASSES OFFEREDIN TWIN CITIES AND SUBURBS


Some people leave for school ri:ght after breakfast; others leave

right after supper.

The after-dinner crowd goes back to school the week of Sept. 29,

when University of Minnesota evening classes begin.

They will find their choice of classes and where to take them bet-

ter than ever, according to Theodore Campbell, acting director of the

General Extension Division's department of evening and special classes.

"Meeting students' needs -- what they are interested in and where

and when they can go to class -- is a primary concern of the department,"

Campbell said.

"Students in the north and south suburban areas can leave later for

classes this fall, and some individuals who were never able to attend

before will be able to now, because of two new evening-class centers at

Richfield High School and Kellogg High School in Roseville."

The major evening-class centers, in addition to Richfield and Rose-

ville, are the University's Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses, MacPhail

Center in downtown Minneapolis, the downtown-St. Paul Extension Center,

Sandburg Junior High School in Golden Valley, Central High School in

South Minneapolis and Hopkins High School.

"We offer many courses in computer sciences, mathematics, engineer-

ing, industrial relations and scores of related subjects of direct

occupational and professional relevance," Campbell said.

,EVENING CLASSES -2-

"That firms put increasing importance on employee education is

attested by the rising number of registrants whose tuition is reimbursed

by their employers."

"But as important as professional advancement and occupational up-

dating are, general education courses -- those which increase one's

cultural understanding and social awareness -- are, in the development

of the inmvidual, perhaps even more important. tt

ttFrom the more or less traditional courses in the arts and sciences,

to the study of topics of current social concern, the department pro-

vides a variety of continuing education experiences to people in all

walks of life, occupations and age groups."

Although most evening classes carry credit applicable to University

degrees, students who are taking courses for their own educational en-

richment can register as auditors and will not receive either a grade

or degree credit.

There are no requirements, such as a high school diploma, for taking

or receiving credit for courses.

Students may register by mail in almost all classes -- including

those with a limited enrollment. Mail registration is now open. 1n-

person registration will be held Sept. 11 through 19.

ALFORD LEAVES MINNESOTATO TAKE KANSAS STATE POST


Harold J. Alford, director of independent study at the University of Minnesota,

has accepted a position as director of continuing education and summer session at

Kansas State University, effective Sept. 1.

The announcement was made by John Chalmers, vice president for academic affairs at

the Manhattan, Kansas, institution.

As a professor of education, Alford also will teach in a doctoral program in

adult education -- one of the main attractions for a man who considers himself above all

else a teacher.

Multimedia teaching for continuing education will be among his chief concerns

there because the area served by Kansas State is "even more rural than Minnesota," he

says.

Under his direction, the University of Minnesota General Extension Division's correspondence study program changed its name to "independent study" to reflect increasinguse of such audio-visual techniques as slides, tapes and telephone lectures.

#


Before coming to Minnesota, Alford held several positions with the University of Washington, where he helped organize the Pacific Northwest Writers' Conference. Hejoined the Minnesota department of concerts and lectures in 1951 and joined theGeneral Extension Division staff in 1955 as head of its St. Paul Extension Center.In 1964, he was named director of independent (then correspondence) study, and ofoff-campus classes and special courses, departments which later became part ofthe department of evening classes.

Alford, a writer, is the author of the recently published "Continuing Education inAction: Residential Center for Lifelong Learning," but has concentrated primarilyon teaching writing. Many novels -- both published and unpublished -- have beenwritten under his guidance. He will not teach writing at Kansas, as he does atMinnesota, but he does anticipate a writers' conference as part of the summersession there.

BETTER DELIVERYOF DENTAL CAREIS AIM OF UNIQUE CHAIR


A unique professorship in dental-care delivery has been established in the Univer-

sity of Minnesota School of Dentistry, Dean Erwin Schaffer announced today.

Funds for the chair have been provided for the next 10 years by the Hill Family

Foundation of St. Paul.

Dental-care delivery encompasses such problems as providing total dental care for

a greater number of people than are now getting it, particularly in rural and poverty

areas where there is the most severe dentist shortage; making greater use of dentists'

aides or auxiliaries in such jobs as cleaning and filling teeth; lowering the cost ofdendental care, etc.

Thus the person who holds this research professorship does not have to be a dentist,

Dr. Schaffer said today. He added that he is selecting a search committee to find the

best person.

The research professor will join five behavioral scientists and three dentists

in the dental school's division of health ecology. Dean Schaffer praised the Hill/I

Foundation for its concern in meeting an impending crisis in health care and added that

the division, headed by Dr. Lawnence Meskin, had shown leadership in developing the

research-professorship proposal.

Dr. Meskin stated that the University probably has the largest group of people nowworking in the area of dental-care delivery and -said, "We're way ahead of any other in-stitution in establishing this research professorship.1I

#SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONThe Hill Foundation grant is for $187,000 for 10 years. For the last five years the

University will share salary costs for the professor.An advisory committee to aid the research professor will be named, composed of a

private practitioner, a pediatrician, a University sociologist, a Dental Schoolfaculty member and a private citizen.

UPPER MIDWEST RESEARCH COUNCIL,U OF M URBAN AFFAIRS CENTER LINKED

(FOR RELEASE AT 11 A.M. FRIDAY, SEPT. 12)



CROOKSTON----The Upper Midwest Research and Development Council and the

University of Minnesota's Center for Urban and Regional Affairs became more

closely linked today through two joint appointments.

The University Board of Regents, meeting here, named Thomas L. Anding,I~ who is executived~~'of the council, associate director of the Center forr

Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA); and Neil C. Gustafson, council associate

director, as coordinator of CURA. Anding is an assistant professor at the

University and Gustafson an instructor.

The Upper Midwest Research and Development Council (UMRDC) conducts re-

search and~~vide~ information and technical assistance on problems in agri

culture, industry, education and urban development. It encompasses Minne-

sota, the Dakotas and Montana, northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan.

CURA, formed in 1967, is becoming involved in many of the problems that

UMRDC has worked on in the past, and is able to bring the resources of the

University faculty to bear on these problems to a greater degree than has

been true in the past. Its work includes major research efforts as well as

experimental projects in continuing education. Director is Geography Profes-

sor John Borchert.

Main advantage of the joint appointments is seen as greater coordination

of projects.

UMRDC will remain a separate, independent body supported by regional bus-

inesses and will continue to develop its programs as before, with the addi-

tional help of CURA's resources. The council in 1969-70 plans to direct its

efforts to the following problems:

UMRDC was involved in the setting up of the Metropolitan Council); environ-

mental pollution problems; and other special projects.

(FOP RELEASE AT 11 A.M. FRIDAY, SEPT. 12, 1969)

C~ookston, Minn.----The University of Minnesota Board of Regents, meeting here

today, ~onsiderably eased University student problems of obtaining loan money from

banks.

It committed $4 million from the University's endowment funds to insure that banks

would make t~at amount available to students in loans at 7 percent interest. This step

was seen as a1 interim l-year emergency measure in light of a crucial money situation

in recent rr.onths, particularly for students.

The board's action -- recognizing the urgency of the problem since classes start

Sept. 29 -- cDuld enable students to attend the University who otherwise could not.

It is anticipated that the State of Minnesota, using its trust funds, will make

$8 million available to non-University college students in a similar program. The total

estimate of $li million required came from a Governor's advisory committee appointed

to aid needy Minnesota college students.

Regent Elmer L. Andersen, chairman of a Regents committee which studied the

matter, said today that the Regents, "feel our primary responsibility is to the student

attending the University, and we have been anxious to take any steps necessary to as-

sure that no qualified student will be denied admittance for lack of funds."

The money is tight for student loans for two reasons. The federal student loan

program guarantees banks that student loans will be made good and the federal government

pays their interest while the student is in school. However, the interest rate ceiling

was set at 7 percent on these guaranteed loans, while the current prime rate is 8.5

percent. Secondly, in an effort to combat inflation, the federal government is putting

pressure on banks to reduce their total loans and resist new loans.

Congress is expected to revise the Federal Student Loan Program in the near future

to provide for a current 8.5 percent intere~t rate and for a periodic review of the

guaranteed interest rates, however, this would not affect the tight-money situation.

The effect of the Regents' action today will be to make new money available for

student loans. The method for redeeming the Regents' pledge will be that as banks

make loans to students, they will "sell" the loan paper to the University in substantial

"bundles." Thus the University will take the loans after the banks have processed them;

the banks will contribute the time and personnel needed to do the work.

To accomplish this, the University must tie up its endowment funds to this extent

and accept a slight potential loss of income, since the student loans would earn less

for the University than would the same dollars invested in other paper.

The Regents made clear that the University still does not regard loan funds as the

only way to help needy students and prefers a balanced program of scholarships and grants

as well as loans.

"This in no way alters the University's efforts to maintain a balanced blend of

both kinds of financial assistance," Regent Andersen said, pointing out that $800,000

in grants has been made available through the Office of Student Financial Aids for the

coming year.

GRAMBSCH ASKS TO RESIGNAS BUSINESS SCHOOL HEAD


Paul V. Grambsch has requested that he be relieved of his duties as dean of the

University of Minnesota School of Business Administration as of June 30, 1970.

Dean Grambsch has served as dean of the School of Business Administration since

1960 and occupied a similar position at Tulane University in New Orleans for five

years prior to joining the Minnesota faculty.

President Malcolm Moos expressed appreciation for "the decade of dedicated ser-

vice which Paul Grambsch has given to the University of Minnesota as dean of the School

of Business Administration."

"The post of president of the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Bus-

iness and the recognition he has received as co-author of the book, 'University Goals

and Academic Power,' indicate the high regard in which he is held in his professional

field," President Moos said. (The book, written with Edward Gross, was published in

1968 by the American Council on Education.)

In a letter addressed to faculty members of the School of Business Administration,

Dean Grambsch said that he had served as dean for 10 years and "I think this is an

appropriate length of time in an administrative post of this kind and, therefore, I

have requested of President Moos to be relieved of the duties of dean at that time

(June 30, 1970). It is my intention after a period of leave of absence, to devote

my time fUlly to the regular professional duties of teaching and research."

'u' STUDENT PRESIDENTSCRITICIZE LEVANDER'S ACTIONON STUDENT LOAN ISSUE




In a statement issued today, the presidents of the four University of Minne-

sota campus student governments accuse Governor Harold LeVander of "using the emer-

gency funding of the guaranteed student loan program for political purposes."

The four student leaders, representing some 46,000 University students, say

that though Minnesota's approach -- combining state governm~nt action and education-

al institution support to alleviate a shortage in student loan money -- has been

successful, "it is also necessary to single out for strong criticism the action of

the governor."

Referring to the governor's public request last week that the University make

available additional money for student loans, the students point out that the Uni-

versity had notified the governor, prior to his statement, that it planned to commit

substantial funds to bolster student aid.

The students' statement says, in part, "It is important to point out that the

governor's action had no part in the releasing of University funds, an action which

the governor cannot take."

It further states, "We see the governor's public statements in relationship to

the University and the guaranteed student loan programs as characterized by a de-

sire to seek publicity, to obtain credit for actions where recognition does not

properly belong."

The four student association presidents who drafted the statement are Tom

Gilsenan, Twin Cities campus; Scott Erickson, Morris; John Vignes, Crookston; and

Greg Fox, Duluth.

BROOK TO TEACH 'THE FINAL CRISIS'ON TELEVISION THROUGHOUT THE STATE


"Modern man seems to believe that he can get everything he needs from the corner drugstore. He doesn't understand that everything has a source in the landor sea, and that he must respect those sources. If the indiscriminate pollution continues, we will be sawing off the branch we are sitting on."

Norwegian author-explorer Thor Heyerdahl made this comment after seeing masses of

floating garbage and waste at sea.

Closer to home, University of Minnesota ecologist Alan Brook is concerned with the

same problem.

"Ecologically, the world might be a better place without man," Brook says. (Brief-

ly, ecology is the study of the relationship between living things and their environ-

ment. )

He has evidence from every part of the world that man is threatening the existence

of much of the life on earth through over-population and an unwillingness to care e-

nough about his environment to preserve it.

Prof. Brook, who is head of the ecology and behavioral biology department, teachesa course entitled "The Final Crisis," which will be broadcast this fallon KTCA-TV,channel 2, in the Twin Cities and on three other stations in the Midwest by the University's General Extension Division.

There are several ways to take the course -- for degree credit, as an auditor(whose participation is recorded, .though not graded), or simply as a concerned television viewer.

The first class is Monday, Sept. 29 at 9 p.m. The course will continue on Mondayand Wednesday evenings through Jan. 19.

LABOR SCHOOL, LEADERSHIP ACADEMYCLASSES TO START IN OCTOBER AT 'u'


Two University of Minnesota programs for active union members have been reorgan-

ized for the 1969-70 academic year.

The Basic Labor School (BLS), for those who have not attended previous Labor Educa-

tion Service (LE8) classes, and the Union Leadership Academy (ULA), open to local union

officials and anyone who has had two or more r~cent classes, last year included some ten

courses lasting eight to ten weeks each.

Similar courses have now been combined, aDd a total of four courses -- two in each

program -- will be held this year. All classes start Oct. 13 and 14 and continue

through April.

The purpose of the two programs is to prepare active union members for positions

of increasing responsibility in the labor movement.

John Flagler, director of LE8, explains that the advantages of the new organiza-

tion are that it provides a greater sense of how the subjects studied are related and a

longer time period for intensive study and motivation.

Ideally, a student would complete the entire four-course sequence in two years,taking both BLS courses the first year and the ULA courses the next.

U OF MRESEARCHER HEADSMAJOR SMOG STUDYBEING DONE IN L.A.



For further information, contact:BILL HAFLING, 373-2126

People who have never experienced the stinging eyes and choking for breath

caused by smog don't worry about it. Thus, in city after city, smog banks grow

before anyone does anything about them.

Until this year, in fact, no major organized studies of smog had been made.

The first one anywhere in the world got under way this summer in Los Angeles, in-

volving leading scientists from Minnesota, California and Washington.

Professor K.T. Whitby, director of the University of Minnesota Particle Tech-

nology Laboratory, described the study, which he initiated, as tithe first combined

analysis of gases and particles, their relationship to each other, and the chemical

changes that occur in them under the effects of sunlight, that has been made any-

where.

tlWhile quite a bit is known about the gaseous components of smog, compara-

tively little is known about the kinds and numbers of very small particles in it.

These particles range in size from a tenth of a millionth of an inch up to four

thousandths of an inch. tI

Commenting on the importance of the project, being conducted at the Calif-

ornia Institute of Technology near Los Angeles, Professor B.Y.H. Liu, of the Par-

ticle Technology Laboratory, said, tlEach of the 57 air-quality control regions in

the United States is responsible for developing 'models' of the atmosphere of its

basins.

SMOG -2-

"These models must be able to predict the region's atmospheric composition be-

cause they are used in setting emission standards and in locating sites for fac-

tories and power plants to minimize pollution.

"We hope this study will provide better data for creating such models, thus

providing a rational basis for setting emission standards."

Aerosol particles, which are fine particles of matter suspended in the air,

are believed to have generally negative effects. These effects include the re-

duction of visibility and the carrying of toxic chemicals, such as lead, into the

lungs.

There is also speculation that the large number of particles being injected

into the atmosphere may modify the weather -- at least in regions downwind from

large metropolitan areas.

In the smog analysis project, samples of ail' are taken at Cal Tech's W.M. Keck

Engineering Labdra~ories; Outside ail' is pumped through a plastic pipe which rises

22 feet above the roof of the lab to computerized equipment for analysis inside.

New instruments developed by the Particle Technology Lab at the University of

Minnesota make it possible to sort out particles in the air and count them by size.

Results are available every 10 minutes on computer tape. This instrumentation,

measuring the size distribution of the particles, provides the key data necessary

to tie together all the various analyses in the project.

Other experimenters also measure very large particles found in the ail' and col-

lect particles for chemical and mass analysis. Asbestos fibers and sulfuric acid

droplets, as well as other particles and gases, are being examined by scientists

under the direction of Peter K. Mueller, chief of the Ail' and Industrial Hygiene

Laboratory of the California State Department of Health.

Interestingly, says Whitby, the Los Angeles area is low in sulfur dioxide, a

chemical compound often named as the air pollution culprit in other places such as

New York City and London. On the other hand, ozone in the air in one day in Los

Angeles was found to be several times higher than acceptable industrial safe limits.

'u' TO HOST NEWSMEN,LAWMAKERS OCT. 4

(FOR USE WEEK OF SEPT. 29)

Some 1,400 lawmakers and newsmen will attend the 1969 Legislators-Editors-

Broadcasters (LEB) Day Saturday, Oct. 4, at the University of Minnesota.

The visitors will attend an exposition and a barbecued beef luncheon in Williams

Arena before the Minnesota-Nebraska football game at 1:30 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.

LEB Day, a traditional affair begun in the 1940's, includes a public panorama of

University activities. More than 45 displays, representing various departments, have

been set up around the inside rim of Williams Arena. Public viewing is from 4 to 6 p.m.

One of the featured displays this year will be the "Touch and Feel Room" from

the Bell Museum of Natural History. Designed by Assistant Professor Richard Barthelemy,

public education coordinator for the museum, it is planned primarily for school

children. The antithesis of the "do not touch" museum, this exhibition encourages

the viewer to participate in the display--to touch and feel the skins and skeletons

of animals.

University Hospitals' pioneer efforts in life-saving will be shown in the Pedia-

trics Intensive Care Unit on display. This is a preview of the la-bed unit which will

go into operation in University Hospitals this December. The unit, specializing in

infant care, utilizes computerized patient monitoring.

The College of Liberal Arts Honors Division display focuses on the scholarly

research and creative work done by the University's honor students. Another, organ-

ized by the athletic department, depicts the 100th anniversary of college football.

TRAFFIC CONGESTION EXPECTEDIN 'u' AREA ON FIRST CLASS DAY


"If you plan on coming to the University of Minnesota Monday (Sept. 29) for the

first day of classes, form a car pool, start early, take a bus, or better yet, walk."

This advice is from Andrew Vernes, assistant director of University Police, who

expects an opening day traffic snarl in the University area.

Vernes suggests students who must drive find routes other than Interstate 94

approaching the University, as congestion at the rush hours causes traffic to back

up onto the freeway. People approaching the University on 3SW from the north should

exit on highway 280 and enter the campus from University ave., rather than using 194.

Students should take the first available parking place they find, rather than

driving around looking for a closer one, Vernes says. The parking lots on 15th

ave. SE., north of the railroad tracks, were never filled last year. Other lots that

usually have space available are the free lot on 28th st. and Como ave. and the

State Fairgrounds lot on Randall, north of Commonwealth. The fairgrounds lot is served

by a free shuttle bus to the Minneapolis and St. Paul campus during the rush hours.

There is a special lot for car pools on Fifth st. and 17th ave. St. It is open

to any car with three or more people in it.

Once again, intracampus bus service between Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses

will be free to those whc ride the entire distance. Those entering or exiting at

the three scheduled stops--18th and Como, 28th and Como, and Eustis and Larpenteur-will be charged. This' bus runs every ten minutes during the day with limited serviceat night and on Saturdays. This bus originates in front of the 'Student Center inSt. Paul and in front of Jones hall in Minneapolis.

The free West Bank bus runs continuously from Nicholson hall to the West Bankbetween 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. It also stops in front of Morrill hall andCoffman Union.

This year time-rate parking for guests of the University is available on thethird level of Ramp B, behind Comstock hall. No reservations are necessary.

100 ACCEPTED FOR 'u'ALCOHOLISM, DRUG ABUSECOUNSELING PROGRAM


Response to the University of Minnesota's newly-established certificate program

on Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse Counseling has been "overwhelming" according to

Professor Robert W. Schwanke, assistant director of the School of Public Health and

coordinator for the program.

More than 250 applications were received for the fall quarter class. Only 100

students could be accepted.

The high response to this program is partially based on greater recognition of

this rapidly growing public health problem, Professor Schwanke said.,

lilt is also a clear indication of just how badly both lay and professional

persons need and want additional and more accurate information on both alcohol and

other drugs, the nature of the addict, and how to counsel him," he said.

The new course, designed principally for professional or lay counselors, is the

first in a series of three General Extension Division evening classes with alcoholics

or other drug abusers. The program is supported by a grant from Mr. and Mrs. Patrick

Butler of St. Paul.

Among the applicants were clergymen, nurses, social workers, law enforcementpersonnel, teachers, guidance counselors and administrators. A large number ofapplications came from lay counselors in alcohol and drug treatment centers or withAlcoholics Anonymous. In addition, numerous inquiries or applications were received from relatives and friends of alcoholics or drug addicts.

Since this is the first year of the program, an intensive evaluation of itsimpact will be made, Professor Schwanke said. "This will not only enable thoseteaching-in the program to strengthen their presentations as they go along, but itwill also serve as a guide to the University in the development of other courseswhich may be offered in the future," he said.

An internship experience is being developed as a part of the program for alimited number of persons planning careers in counseling the ·alcohoiic and drug addict.Cooperating with the University in the internship program are St. Paul-Ramsey Hospital, the Minneapolis Veterans Administr'ation Hospital, ,and the Hazelden TreatmentCenter for Alcoholism and Related Chemical Dependencies.

'u' PRESIDENT MOOSISSUES POLICY FOR FACULTYON CAMPUS DISRUPTIONS


/UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTANEWS SERVICE-20 JOHNSTON HALLMINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455SEPTEMBER 29, 1969


What should a University professor do if a group of demonstrators enters his

classroom? If hecklers try to disrupt a campus meeting?

University of Minnesota President Malcolm Moos, in a policy statement issued to-

day to faculty members and administrative officials, defines the role of the Univer-

sity and of individual teachers in case of disruptive events on the Twin Cities campus.

Prepared by the Office of Student Affairs under Vice President Paul Cashman, the I!

statement lists the standards currently used in judging whether or not an event is

to be considered "disruptive;" sets down procedures for faculty members faced with

disruptions in the classroom or elsewhere on campus; and defines the disciplinary

procedures followed by the University after such an event.

In general, behavior that seriously interferes with teaching, administration or

other University activities, or that involves injury to persons or property, is con-

sidered disruptive.

Examples of such behavior include demonstrations in classrooms, laboratories,

study centers, offices, and meeting places; blocking access to or creating noise in-

terfering with activities in those places; and willfUlly failing to comply with in-

struction from a University officer acting within the scope of his authority.

A teacher, chairman of a public meeting or any other University officer is

instructed to call the University Police immediately if a disruption appears to

threaten life or property. He is then requested to call the Office of Student

Affairs to provide details on the situation.

(MORE)

,DISRUPTION -2-

If a disruption represents a "serious intrusion" into normal activites, and,

in the judgment of the University representative present, cannot be tolerated, he

can adjourn and report the incident to the proper offices, or call in a representa

tive of the Office of Student Affairs.

In either case, he may inform demonstrators that they are violating the Univer

sity policy on campus demonstrations and will be disciplined by University authorities

(or, in the case of non-student demonstrators, in accordance with civil and criminal

law), though he is advised to consult a representative of the Office of Student Af

fairs, if possible, before declaring a disruption to exist.

Certain procedures are standard in the various disciplinary bodies within the

University. These include notifying a student of the complaint or charge filed a

gainst him and granting him a hearing before a University committee. He can choose

to be represented by an adviser, call witnesses, and hear evidence presented against

him. Appeals through proper channels. can go to the president and the regents:"

In a letter accompanying the statement, President Moos explains that it is

temporary pending the report, expected in 1970, of a committee studying student af

fairs. In addition, the 1969 "Report of the University of Minnesota Commission on

Demonstrations," upon which the statement is based, anticipates further develop

ment of procedures and agencies for dealing with student disruptions .•

President Moos notes that though there have been incidents of disruption,

"these have been few in number, and have been resolved for the most part through in

struction, persuasion, and mediation, and without resort to legal sanctions or dis

ciplinary actions. In this regard the climate of our campus continues to be re

markably open and free from the destructive hostilities which have developed else

where."
