I think the best way to preserve we'll try to turn around any enrollment talking about taking 4% of the other 20% diversity is through general education.

One of President Kamerick's areas of success at UNI from 1970-80 is the addition of 10 state-funded buildings. Although the future building prospects for UNI are not as good, Kamerick stresses that the second phase of the Speech/Art Complex is still the number one priority. The Strayer­ Wood Theater (above), is part of that complex which opened in 1978. 4 Dr. John Kamerick became UNl's sixth president 10 years ago in August, 1970, when he and Elaine moved their family to Cedar Falls from Denton, Texas, where Kamerick was president of North Texas State University. The Kamericks reside in the president's house on the east side of the campus.

Fortunately, State appropriations of $500,000 and 'Luv' Comes to UNI "Luv" came to the University of Northern Iowa and it's saving the Cedar Falls institution money and energy. Last summer the University received 10 subcompact trucks, all Chevrolet ---- Luvs, with four-cylinder engines to replace a number of older, larger vehicles in use. "We needed more - vehicles and the smaller trucks fit in well with University policy to reduce our fuel consumption," said Al Perry, former plant services manager. Perry said the lowest mileage on any of the vehicles replaced was 123,000 and they had become very inefficient. He said from now on it would be normal practice to order smaller vehicles for physical plant departments and if a department felt a need for a larger truck, that need would have to be justified. The red trucks were ordered on state contract last October, with delivery in late April. The subcompacts are being used as work vehicles by various crews, including the electronics, refrigeration, Many new elevators have been installed in UNl's academic buildings~ over---- the past year to make plumbing, heating and paint shops all academic programs accessible to the orthopedically handicapped.

Studying language problems en EspatiOI

Self-taught in the Spanish language as a hobby, Or. Roy Eblen combined that with his speech pathology professional skills for his new area of research . He's visited Mexico, Peru and Colombia several times to test Spanish-speaking children to discover their patterns of language development.

Colombia. That experience spurred Eblen on in his Spanish Through his work treating speech problems, the UNI lessons. His hobby also took on more and more professor of speech pathology developed a keen interest professional applications, especially in 1974 when he in language sound systems. Since he'd mastered the presented a paper on the San Luis children at a language English system, he decided to take a 12-week Spanish conference in Lima, Peru . course at UNI to learn about that language's sound "This put me in touch with all sorts of South American system.

He sat in on some UNI Spanish at UPN, the university had only had visiting Spanish classes and, in 1970 when he and Mac toured professors who were Spanish teachers. But, the UPN Europe, they spent three weeks practicing their Spanish curriculum committee felt Eblen's Spanish was good in Spain. enough to teach.

He also surveyed the possibility of speech changes. training speech pathologists at UPN.

It was a rather sobering experience because Roy explained speech problems to parents, teachers and there I was as the expert and the parents brought these doctors and gave them ideas on how they could help the kids expecting an immediate cure. I really couldn't do children. " The director told me that he was going to use me as an example," says Eblen, who has been on crutches or in a wheelchair most of his life. " The people there didn't think that the handicapped kids would ever grow up and

Roy tested children who were 3-5 years old looking for the kinds of strategies they used to simplify the adult forms of language. He presented children with a picture of an object and asked them to identify the object. He recorded their verbal answers on tape and later spent many, many hours phonetically transcribing and charting the answers. Presenting himself as a teacher interested in child language rather than as a speech pathologist, Eblen was quickly accepted by the children. " This is purely a subjective response, but in my

Inaugurated as president of Jack­ sonvil le University, Jacksonville, Florida, on April 9 this year, Kinne is the only woman president in Florida's accredited institutions with the exception of one church-related institution. In fact, the Jacksonville Universi ty News Depa rtment reports that there are fewer than 10 women presidents in the 11 states served by the Southern Assoc iation of Colleges and Schools and fewer than 5 percent nationally. This exceptional woman arrived at Jacksonville Universi ty in 1958 when she and her Army husband, Col. Harry Kinne, were transferred from Germany to his assignment as the Senior Regu lar Army Advisor of the Florida National Guard. Frances Kinne was as ked to take a posi tion at Jacksonville Universi ty, formerly Jacksonville Junior College. She was soon asked to create the College of Fine Arts for the new university which now offers 45 undergraduate majors and nine masters degree programs. She was later named dean of the College of Fine Dr. Frances Bartlett Kinne, recently inaugurated president of Jacksonville Arts, and , for 12 yea rs, was the onl y University, got her early music and teacher training at ISTC.
