talking stiCk
Symbol of International Friendship ACUHO-I’s talking stick, or speaker’s staff, was hand-carved of wood by the Ohiat Band of the British Columbia Indian Nation. Canadian ACUHO-I members presented it to the association in July 1973 during our annual conference at the University of British Columbia. The inscription reads: It is a sign of authority carried when proclamationas are to be made or a meeting of chiefs is in session. ... A token of common heritage both to Canadians and Americans.

Nugent Hall at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus is making great strides in accommodations for students with physical disabilities. Not only do the rooms feature remotecontrolled ceiling lifts and height adjusted amenities, the hall offers a residential experience where these students are able to blend with the rest of the student population and enjoy the social life and academic experience that campus has to offer.
