Presentation on incorporating a 911 The former director of alumni affairs at an Illinois college has been named the University of Nevada-Reno's new associate director of development. Gene S.

Brandt, 27, New York City native, will direct the university's fund-raising efforts, including an annual giving plan and a corporate gifts program. Brandt will work with development and alumni affairs director Harry Gianeschi's office to improve private financial support for the university. The newly created position pays $15,000 a year. Brandt, who came to Reno about a year ago as sales manager and director of Sage West Travel Agency, received a bachelor's degree in political science from Knox College in Galesburg, 111. After graduation, he stayed at the school as a counselor and later assistant director of admissions.

He was promoted to the directorship of alumni affairs, a job he held for lVi years before coming to Nevada. In an interview recently, Brandt said his main duty will be to organize and promote an annual "giving program locally and statewide. He also will work closely with the UNR Alumni Association to improve and increase private support from former students. Brandt added that part of his job will be to inform the public that state funds don't cover all the expenses in the operation of any state university. He said he hopes to educate all citizens on "the importance of the private dollar" to the university.

Brandt said the main pitch will be for unrestricted, general gifts to be used for many university needs. His office also will offer help to individual departments and colleges on campus in their own private fund-raising efforts. Brandt said "a very strong case" can be made that the university gives the Reno community cultural, academic and recreational benefits it wouldn't have otherwise. He indicated he's hoping donations will come in because of those benefits. Brandt plans to begin the corporate giving program, in which companies make regular financial gifts to the university, in January.

Vegas police confiscate weapons from youths The weapons were stolen from a trailer rented LAS VEGAS (AP) Metropolitan police issued an appeal to all parents in the Las Vegas area Friday to ask their children if they possess any vintage World War II weapons that are still operable and dangerous. The appeal was made after Metro Task Force detectives started to confiscate weapons that a large number of youths had stolen from a trailer here. "We've confiscated all kinds of World War II relics and operable machine guns," said Lt. Don Charleboix. Charleboix said items confiscated included four mounted machine guns, one .50 caliber machine gun, a bazooka, an anti-tank gun, four hand grenades, and a large number of rifles, tear gas guns, shotguns and pistols.

Although a large number of weapons had been confiscated by Late Friday, many more were still unaccounted for. "We're still missing at least four other fragmentary grenades, Charleboix said, adding that children between 7 and 11 years old are believed to be in possession of the grenades. by a man identified only as Don Colyer. Little other information about Colyer is available, and he was being sought for questioning about the cache of weapons. Charleboix said the whole distribution chain started when a 7-year-old boy climbed through the window of the trailer and found himself surrounded by an arsensal of weapons and Nazi paraphernalia.

After the word got out, teen-agers began to raid the trailer until it was cleaned out. EVANS ON CHESS frill. Coming to Nevada for the evaluation trip are Drew Days III, assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division; Jesse Queen, chief of the divisions's Public Accommodations and Facilities Section, and visit is follow-up to that, he, siad. He said he convinced department officials to delay this visit, originally scheduled to take place prior to the 1977 legislative session, until after O'Callaghan got his legislative program into law. Charles Ory, a federal attorney.

The visit stems from complaints delivered to the Department of Justice about the Nevada prison system, Semenza said. Officials in Washington responded to the complaints by ordering a preliminary investigation by the FBI, and the current GENE BRANDT Murder dismissal rejected Gazette-Journal Carson Bureau The Nevada Supreme Court Friday refused to dismiss charges of murder and attempted murder against five maximum security inmates accused along with 14 others of the October 1976 slayings of two black prisoners. Turned down in their bids for habeas corpus relief were James Neuberger, Roy Spoonhunter Darrell F. Bender, Nathan F. Kimmel and Marvin Ellington.

The high court ruled in certain instances that there was probable cause to hold the defendants for trial, adding that "we are not now concerned that such evidence may be insufficient to convict. It is sufficient to support the indictment." All 19 of the defendants have entered a plea of innocent in connection with the allegedly racially-inspired killings. The inmates, white, Indian and Mexican-American, are charged with the knifing deaths of black inmates Harold Wilson and Ralph Alfonso and the injuring of several other black inmates during a race riot at the Maximum Security Prison last October. Two of the inmates, James Taylor and Claude Theriault, are charged with capital murder in the case. Prison review slated Gov.

Lawrence Semenza said Friday that the trio will review the governor's 1977 legislative package on Nevada prisons before visiting Lake's Crossing in Reno, the state rison in Carson City and acilities in Southern Nevada. 9 There were "speed freaks" who played 5-minute chess exclusively, often for days on end before collapsing at the chessboard. Endgame addicts hooked for hours on a single position. Problemists spent days looking for a "key," only to find they had been "burned" by a "cook." Most horrifying of all were blindfold players or "heads" who dispensed with the need for actual pieces. Attempts to contain the addiction by substituting checkers and backgammon failed.

The addict often indulged in all three games simultaneously. Another fiasco was the reduction cure. Players were restricted to two. and then one game a day, finally a mate-in-two. Unfortunately instead of progressing to total abstinence they became "problem addicts." Until scientists find a vaccine against chessfever, parents are urged to look for these three warning signals in the incipient chess abuser in the family.

(1) Does your child spend long periods away from home locked in a closet with a companion? (2) Does he find normal activities like eating, sleeping, and sex boring and pointless (3) Is he absent-minded, muttering phrases like "take, take, check Building for sole or lease 4500 sq. ft. clear-span building with air conditioned office.

By the summer of 1985 it was clear that the prohibition of chess was having no success. The law was being openly flouted and even "squares" (those who did not play) admitted that it was doing more harm than good. Fortunes could be made "board-running" onyx sett from Mexico, where the game was still legal. Rumor had it the Mafia had gained control of the black market in chess books, which would explain why everyone was playing the Sicilian ageing Students dropped out to live in "chess pads" where half a dozen games could be found in progress day or night. Addiction could occur in many forms and therapy invariably met with disaster as the chess addict corrupted the analyst into indulging in this depraved pastime.

Judge John Gabrielli turned down the request of Dreyfus Gardner, 63, for damages stemming from the early morning incident at the spa on March 10. 1975.
