Dr. Joe Mabee of Midland and Jack Cardwell of El Paso will serve as chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the national steering committee for the program, tentatively called Design for Jim Ravanelli, LCC director of development, said the nine-man board probably would hold its initial session in early August. Ravanelli said more members may be added to the committee as the campaign intensifies.

Members of the original committee include Clem Boverie, E.K. Hufstedler, J.E. Hancock and Lennis Baker, all of Lubbock, and J.W. Hamby of Plainvievv. Also on the board are LCC president Dr.

Joe Hacker and assistant president C.L. Kay. Although no official goals have been announced, col- lege sources indicated the campaign probably will be divided into two or three phases. An unofficial goal for the first phase is $6 million, an LCC spokesman indicated. The largest previous campaign was a $3 million venture in 1968, when LCC officially put the wheels in motion to become a four- year school.

Ravanelli said the money would be funneled into capital expenditures for future construction or renovation, operational expenses and the endowment fund. hope to have some kind of national kickoff in late August or early said. school may try to bring in some to highlight the Mabee, chairman of the board of the J.E. and L.E.

There still are senators who you can tell have been drinking, but not so Auditor, Staff Find Overcharges WASHINGTON (UPI) A government auditor said Wednesday his staff found about $185,000 in overcharges to a Pentagon medical insurance program by a Florida school for disturbed children where students allegedly have been mistreated. The auditor, Arthur P. Mitchell of the General Accounting Office.

testified before a subcommittee chaired by Sen. Henry M. Jackson, which is looking into psychiatric care for military dependents under the so-called CHAMPUS insurance program. Many of the ovcrbillingi listed by Mitchell centered on charges from the Green Valley School in Orangr City, for students who were away at a related facility, Buck Brook Farm, in Roscoe, N.Y. The former director of Green Valley, the Rev.

George von Hilsheimer, disputed findings and cited correspondence from CHAMPUS officials specifically authorizing the charges. The $185,000 figure represented about 15 per cent of $1.25 million the school collected from CHAMPUS for the care of military children during a 4 year period. Mitchell also said that the school billed CHAMPUS about twice as much for each child from a military family as it charged for private students, and times as much as it charged the Bureau of Indian Affairs on a contract basis. He said, however, that part of the difference appeared to stem from the fact that CHAMPUS paid whatever was asked, while the BIA negotiated rates. Von Hilsheimer also cited correspondence with CHAMPUS showing that Green Valley was required to provide psychiatric care for military children that was not a part of its ordinary curriculum.

Under questioning from Sen. Charles Percy, Mitchell acknowledged that he and his staff had discovered in the patient files a large number of letters from parents, university professor and other medical personnel praising the work and its treatment programs. Witnesses testified Tuesday that child abuse, bizarre medical practices and sexual promiscuity took place at I Green Valley.
