Brent, a highly touted collegian from Jacksonville, where he replaced the great Artis Gilmore as Dolphin pivot man when the latter signed with the Kentucky Colonels, left Jacksonville after his sophomore season to sign with Memphis of the ABA. He was traded for forward Wendell Ladner, but was a hold out all of last season with the Cougars. He finally agreed to terms this summer and looked impressive in a free agent rookie tryout camp with Carolina prior to the Stars negotiating for his services. A heavily recruited prepster out of St. Louis Sumner High school, Brent as a freshman at Jacksonville averaged 25.8 pts. and 20.5 rebounds in 18 games while shooting 57 per cent from field. In announcing the acquisition of Brent, Ferrin stated that the Stars were hopeful of coming up with some talented, young front line strength with five newcomers vying for squad berths at the center and forward positions when the Stars open drills next Monday.

Page Five Communications System Will Serve Utah's Deaf Population As far as deaf people arc con- cerned, the telephone has just been invented, says Robert G. of ServSanderson, ices to the Deaf for the Utah State Board of Education. Sandersons response parallels that cf other deaf people in Utah and around the country who are using a new communication system which allows the deaf and hearing impaired to hear over the telephone for the first time. Actually, the system is nothing more than a teletype machine which has been converted to send messages over telephone lines. A deaf person may communicate over the telephone by simply dialing a number on his own phone and then typing the message on a special teleprinter. The message is converted for a transmission over telephone line and then reconverted and printed on the receivers teletype. He said, One drawback is that both receiver and sender must have the teleprinter and converter in order to communicate, but this is still a vast improvement for deaf people. In the past, they had to rely on hearing people to make calls for them. At present, some 60 deaf people are using the system and many more will be able to communicate over the telephone as soon as equipment becomes available. There are nearly 1500 deaf Co-ordina- tor Road Improvement Bids (or 33rd South The State Road Commission of Utah opened bids this week to improve 33rd South from State Street to 200 East. This project will provide for a straight intersection and will also provide a smoother transitional phase fo . eastbound traffic shifting from three lanes to two lanes and it is expected the project will take 40 working days to complete. The apparent low bidder on the project was Gibbons & Reed of Salt Lake City at a bid of $26,-48The official engineers estimate for the work was $25,232. 4. or hearing impaired persons in Utah who could benefit from the system. Although there are some systems for sale commercially most deaf people are waiting for less expensive surplus or donated equipment. Mountain Bell and Western Union have donated most of the teletype machines now in use. The converter for adapting the teletype messages for telephone transmission costs around $150. The cost for the commercial systems now available ranges from $500 to $1000. The public may view the system at the Utah Association for the Deaf exhibition booth during the Utah State Fair. Adventist Mexican Aid Reaches $23,000 Earthquake relief for Mexico totaling $23,000 was. approved this week by officers of the Seventh Day Adventist denomination. Funds earmarked for the disaster victims in southern Mexico have been received from Adventist overseas divisions as well as from the U. S. reports H. M. Baldwin, director, Seventh-da- y Adventist Word Services, Inc. DiviThe churchs Euro-Afriand sion, $5,000; SAWS, $5,000. The Mexican Union of the church has set up a budget of another $4,000 for the quake victims and four of the conferences in the immediate area of the quake have added $1,000 each for aid purposes. Baldwin reports that five Adventist churches were severely damages and two members fatally injured. He states that the quake followed hard on the heels of the Hurricane Brenda which left 60 per cent of Tebasco, in the southern tip of Mexico, under water. In Cordoba, which was virtually demolished by the last quake, 10,000 people are sleeping in the plaza. To add to the distress of the home less, the rainy season has set in and the need for help is urgent. ca . 1972 PRO FOOTBALL STANDINGS.
