He made the grant as a tribute to his granddaughter Debra Jean (Debbie) Segal, through the Mailman Foundation. The semi-retired businessman and his brother Joseph established the trust they now support and control. Exclusive The bequest, actually $1,-018,000, matches a U.S. Public Health Service grant of $3,054,429 awarded to the University in November 1966 under a 3-1 matching fund proposition. Previous gifts to the project include a half-million grant by the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation last October 23 to be used for professional development and land valued at $.8 million that the Dade County Commission voted to UM last September 18 at the nominal rental of $1 per year for five years. The prime purpose of the center is to train professionals in a multi-disciplinary, comprehensive program for the treatment of mental re- tardation and aberrant human development. The facility here will also branch out into fields sub-si d i a r y to professional schooling.

Kohler, fourth - ranking member of the State Department and Deputy Undersecretary for Political affairs. The report said that he has accepted a teaching and research position at the Center for Advanced International Studies here. Kohler, the highest ranking career officer In the Foreign Service, served at a post which is the principal point of contact between the Central Intelligence Agency and other government intelligent services and the Defense Department and related security agencies. When Un rsity of Miami President, Dr. Henry King Stanford announced the appointment, he said, “The University is indeed fortunate that Ambassador Kohler is joining i'1 '"'enter for Advanced International Studies. He will add eat strength to our International Studies Program for both research and graduate instruction.” “Mr. Kohler has not only had vast and 'ntimate experience in the shaping and conduct of our loreign affairs,” continued Stanford, “but is also one of the most knowl-edgable men in the world in relation to the Soviet Union and the intricacies of its internal d vclopment and external relationships.” From 1962 to 1966, Kohler served as Ambassador to the Soviet Union. He also served in the c"p •i:v’ of Minister to Turkey and has served in the foreign s • n such countries as the United Kingdom, Greece. 1 > and Rumania. Kohler, a veteran of twenty-five ye irs in the foreign service, graduated from Ohio State University in 1931 and entefpd' the service in the samé year. His first assign- ment was to the US Embassy staff in London. Following that he did graduate work in FOY KOHLER Russian studies in Cornell University, and in 1962 received his Ph.D. from Ohio State University. From 1949 to 1952 he was director of the Voice of America, and then was assistant administrator for the International Information Agency. Following this he held foreign service assignments in Turkey and the USSR. In 1959, he was assigned to the State Department as Assistant Secretary for European Affairs, a position which was crucial In the management of United States policies during the crisis over Berlin with the Soviet Union. As a climax to Kohler’s career, he was named a Career Ambassador, a “five star” position reserved for a very small number of American diplomats, and was awarded the Rockefeller Public Service Award on December 6 of this year. Later he was the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award of the Department of State and in 1962 was presented with the Superior Service Award. “What took her seven seconds to walk now took her twenty seconds one year ago,” Mailman announced proudly.” Alinsky Discusses College Unrest By CRAIG PETERSON Humean* R*porl*r Controversial Saul Alinsky Spoke for more than two hours Monday, Dec. 4, in the Flamingo Ballroom. The program began at 8:15 p.m. before a group numbering more than 275. Alinsky began with his attitudes toward “organizing.” “First,” he explained, “you must begin from where you are; you can't be a second-degree hippy. You must take the world as it is and realize people don't move on the basis of altruism; they move for self-interest.” He also equated “organizing” with “movement.” “And,” he added, “the only place you can have movement without friction is in outer space or at a political science seminar. Be resigned to the fact there will be controversy and conflict.” A number of questions centered around Alinsky’s views toward the current troubles plaguing colleges. “This current unrest in colleges is natural; the kids are desperately trying to find themselves. Many students feel they're in a world that doesn’t make any sense.” He explained part of this phenomenon by the rapid changes in society and the inability of learning institu- tions to change at an equal pace. Alinsky suffixed his remarks on colleges with his views toward the merits of college — “Any relation between a college diploma and an education is purely coincidental.” In response to questions about his - work with the poor, and, in particular, the poor Negro segments of sev- j eral cities, he spoke at great | length of the problem of organization for these groups. “The poor, like any other minority group,” he stated, “must seek coalition 1 and develop allies.

Construction of the 8-story tower and 2-story annex is now scheduled to start late next month (January, 1968), at NW 12th Avenue and 16th Terrace. It will be part of the medical center complex surrounding Jackson Memorial Hospital, the UM medical school teaching facility. The tower will be called The Mailman Child Develop ment Center, and the annex, which will contain a school for the handicapped, The Debbie Institute. As a memorial to the late President, clinic and outpatient areas on the tower's first and second floors will be named The John F. Kennedy Clinics. Laboratories on the seventh floor and an auditorium and adjoining facilities on the eighth will be designated the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation Institute Laboratories and the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation Auditorium and Audio-Visual Center. In an interview Thursday, Mailman praised the broad concept of the center, but said he was particularly interested in its direct service to handicapped children and their parents. Recalling his experience with Debbie, he cited the frustrations of families with brain damaged children “who go from doctor to doctor, agency to agency, seeking some help and are usually sent away with the statement, ‘Love her as she is.’ ” The present programs "have never resulted in a known, single cure of defects. They have all been helpful in various ways to benefit the child.” And then the tone of his voice turned to sorrow: “But lem of brain injury In children with a completely open mind until the University ot Miami made its requests to the U.S. Board of Health Services.” Mailman’s daughter, Mrc. Marilyn Segal, whose husband is a Hollywood (Florida) surgeon, wrote a book about Debbie. ("Run Away, Little Girl,” Random House.) In touching detail she described the first five years of Debbie’s life. “By just looking at Debbie, you could tell she had problems,” Mrs. Segal wrote. “Her head drooped, her eye« crossed, her face lacked animation.” Through patient, persistent determination t h e Segals helped Debbie exercise her (font, on Pg. 10) ★ ★ ★ On December 6, Board of Trustee Member Patrick J.
