For Immediate Release) I UNIVERSITY OF l{[NNESOTA NEWS SERVI CE-2~0 MORRILL HALL RETARDED STUDENTS MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 TO ATTEND NEW TELEPHONE: 37.3-21.37 COOPERATIVE CENTER SEPTEMBER 1, 1965 (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Minneapolis---A cooperative center involving 37 Twin Cities-area school dis- tricts will open soon to provide training and education for a group of mentally retarded young people. It is the Cooperative School-Rehabilitation Center which will begin operation Sept. 20 with ten students, in temporary quarters at the Glen Lake Sanatorium. Later this fall the center will move into its own building at 6025 Eden Prairie road, Minnetonka. The building---the former children's hospital at Glen Lake--- was donated by the Minnesota Department of Public Welfare, which also provided $60,000 for its renovation, currently under way. The Cooperative School-Rehabilitation Center will serve seriously retarded young people from ages 14 to 21 who are unable to benefit from their local high school classes. They will receive practical training so they may become self-surfi- cient adults, and efforts will be made to help them secure jobs and be productive citizens. The training will last from one to six years for each student, according to the center's director, Richard J. Henze. Although just ten students will start their training this month, the number will gradually be expanded, Henze said. He estimated that 100 students at a time will eventually be accommodated, after the renovated building is in use. The stUdents, wOO will live at home, will enter the program through referral from their local school districts, Henze said. He added that already more than 40 referrals have been received, and estimated that 500 persons in the Twin Cities area are in need of the type of services to be provided. The initial staff will consist of 18 persons: specialized teachers and workers in the field of school-rehabilitation. Each student will be assigned a counselor who is a qualified psychologist and who will help to plan the student's development program and will maintain a continuing relationship \,rith the student and his family. E (MORE) N"TR /,J 4 .-~ (; A4') REl'ARDED -2- ". The center is sponsored by the 37 scmol districts which make up the Educa­ tional Research and Development Council of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Inc.' (ERDC). It is a five-year, 1.25 million-dollar program, financed largely by a federal grant and also by the Minnesota Department of Education and the University of Minnesota. The Hopkins scmol district, in which the center is located, is providing a number of services such as accounting and technical supervision• •1As far as we know, this is a unique program, II Henze said, "in that so many different school districts and state and federal agencies are cooperating to pro­ vide the services." He added that the center will try to develop other new programs to help older retarded persons through the facilities of the various federal, state and local agencies and districts. Henze served last year as director of the Minneapolis School-Rehabilitation Center, a similar project for the Minneapolis school system dealing with mre highly educable and trainable adolescents. On July 1 he took over the post of program director for the education of mentally retarded adolescents for the ERDC, which is an organization of school districts with the purpose of sharing common problems and exploring new ideas in school administration. Members of the ERDC are the following schools and school systems: Bloomington, Brooklyn Center, Burnsville, Chaska, Eden Prairie, Edina-Morningside, Farmington, Fridley, Golden Valley, Hennepin county, Hopkins, Inver Grove-Pine Bend, Mahtomedi, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Mound, Uew Prague, North St. Pau1-Maplewod, Orono, Osseo, Richfield, Robbinsdale, Rosemount, St. Anthony, St. Francis, st.

The season ended last Saturday, Aug. 28. IIWhile we originally had scheduled 104 performances for this year's season, 11 Loppnow said, "ticket requests in August for 'Arms and the Man' and 'Because I Love you', both of which had sold out in advance sales, persuaded us to add four matinee performances. OUr previous high point in number of performances was 104, set last year. "This year's total brings the over-all attendance at the Showboat during its eight seasons to 163,568 in 789 performances. As the Showboat seats only 210, the average attendance during its existence has been 98.7 per cent of capa- city. 'Standing Room Only' tickets, sold on numerous occasions, brought those performances to over 100 per cent attendance. 1I Plans now call for the 1966 season to open on May 26, with two plays---one probably a melodrama---to be produced. The Showboat will open again at its. Minneapolis landing on the Mississippi river bank south of the l.Jashington avenue bridge, journeying down river to its customary dock at Harriet Island, St. Paul, for additional performances. Four Tuesday matinees during July and August are being included in the 1966 schedule. University theatre department students currently are preparing the Show- boat for its winter hibernation at the Minneapolis dock. -UNS- UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455 TELEPHONE: 373-2137 SEPTEMBER 2, 1965 MIGRATION SURVEY SHOWS MOST STUDENTS STAY IN MIDWEST (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Minneapolis---The 12 midwestern states of the Great Lakes and plains region are doing an exceptional job in higher education for those students whose homes are within the region, a newly published survey reveals. This finding is one of many to emerge from the survey on student migration. Statistics in the study were based on fall 1963 enrollment figures in institutions of higher learning in l'.d.nnesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. l1 The study, entitled "l'.d.gration of College Students: Midwest Region , is for use primarily by officials in government and education. Based largely on statis- tics from the U.S. Office of Education, it was compiled by the Council of State Governments Midwestern Advisory Committee on Higher Education. Chairman of this 12-state committee is Stanley J. Wenberg, University of Minnesota vice president for educational relationships and development. The University has one other repre- sentative on the committee, Professor John E. Stecklein, director of the Bureau of Institutional Research. Author of the survey was Richard S. Lewis of the University of Iowa Division of Extension and University Services. The study was prepared at the request of the midwestern standing committee on higher education of the Midwestern Regional Con- ference of the Council of State Governments. The survey's figures are broken do\m into three categories; all students in public institutions, undergraduates in public institutions, and all students in private institutions. The institutions include, in addition to universities and colleges, all those whose programs offer credit toward a bachelor's degree, such as teachers colleges, theological and religious schools, art schools and techno­ logical schools., (MORE) SURVEY -2- Among the survey's findings: * A high percentage of students in the 12-state area come from homes within this same area. For all students in public institutions, the figure ranged, by state, from 90 to 96 per cent; for undergraduates in these schools, from 91.2 to 98 per cent; for all private-school students, from 75.1 to 90 per cent. * Despite these high percentages of midwestern students, the public colleges in the l2-state region had the largest number of students coming into the area from outside it, or the largest in-migration. The midwestern area was compared here with six other regions of the country~ the far west, the southwest, the Rocky Mountain, the southeast, the mid-east and the New England regions. * Even with the largest in-migration of the seven areas, the 12-state area's public institutions had fewer than 58,000 students whose homes were outside the region, or 7.5 per cent. Of these, the undergraduate total was approximately 36,000, or 5.5 per cent of all undergraduates. * More students from homes in the 12-state area were attending public insti- tutions in this country than from any other region---28.4 per cent; and more stu- dents from the nation at large were attending public institutions in the 12-state area---29.3 per cent. These statistics do not seem surprising given the fact that the l2-state area represents 28.8 per cent of the population of the United states, and thus is larger than any other region in the survey. * With regard to private schools, the 12-state area ranked second to the mid-east area (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland) in the number of students enrolled anywhere in the nation: 24.8 per cent for the midwest, 35.2 per cent for the mid-east. However, 26.4 per cent of the nation's private- school students attended within the 12-state area, or slightly more than its rlshare; of 24.8 per cent. (For the mid-east, 33.8 per cent of the nation's private-school students were enrolled within that area, or slightly less than its.

V prvních dvou kapitolách využívá tato práce převážně metody sondy, díky které v rámci historického kontextu analyzuje projevy dělnického hnutí a hnutí za občanská práva Afroameričanů v Minnesotě. V případě obou hnutí dochází primárně k identifikaci klíčových vlivů a aktérů. Druhá kapitola pak detailněji zkoumá, jaký dopad měl rasismus a diskriminace na vývoj dělnického hnutí a naopak jak se dělnické hnutí vypořádávalo s rasovou segregací.

Lack of time andmoney prevented an indepth study of all these factors and necessitated thefocus on the role and impact of the various actors-- official and unofficial -- who became involved at the State level in setting pub isschool policy.
