Volunteers sought to help with authentic Indian Pow Wow:  An authentic Indian Pow Wow is set for Saturday, Oct. 16, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the ASU Pavilion.  The event will bring out-of-state guests from nearly 60 Indian Nations.  Some of the most decorated Native American veterans to serve the U.S. in foreign wars will attend, along with Native American dancers and entertainers from several states.  The Natives welcome the public to join in authentic Indian dancing and singing.  Indian food and arts and crafts booths will be plentiful, and a teepee will be set up for the public to visit with the Natives, ask questions and learn about the rich and enduring Indian culture.  The Pow Wow, sponsored by ASU's Delta Studies Center, is free to the public.  Donations to the David and Emma Apekaum Scholarship for Native American students at ASU will be greatly appreciated.  Out of respect for ASU, the Natives will quiet the drums during the ASU Homecoming football game. Volunteers to help with the Pow Wow are encouraged to call Gerri Farmer, ASU's Office of Public Relations, 972-3056, or e-mail Gerri at: gfarmer@omaha.astate.edu.

ASU Family News:  Our condolences to Kelly Smith, Communications Disorders, whose father, Al Wiles, died Saturday, Sept. 25.  Wiles was preceded in death by his wife, Shirley Wiles, who died in 1995. Shirley was a longtime assistant to the vice president for academic affairs.   Congratulations to Marty Scarbrough, KASU, and his wife, Nancy, upon the birth of their son, Benjamin Gray Scarbrough.  Benjamin was born Monday, Sept. 27, at St. Bernards Regional Medical Center. Dr. Ruth Hawkins, Delta Studies Center, reports that her husband, Van, has been moved to a private room from the Intensive Care Unit at St. Bernards Regional Medical Center.  Van still needs privacy, and his room is being kept as quiet as possible for his rest and recuperation.  He is very alert, recognizes his family, and his condition is improving.
