Special to The News BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Jennifer Luce 'Laughlin, new director of the Indiana University Volunteer Students Bureau, views the bureau as more than just a placement service for student volunteers. "Through in-service training, the volunteer experience contributes to a student's personal and career development," the new director said. The I.U. VSB, organized in the fall of 1969, last year placed more than 2,000 student volunteers in the Bloomington community and in Indiana state hospital and penal institutions.

For their tutor and visitation programs, the VSB offersin -service training and orientation. Mrs. O' Laughlin fills the post vacated by Miss Rebecca Sandridge, who resigned July 1. To the director's position, Mrs. 'Laughlin brings a variety of personal experiences in volunteer work, including service to an orphanage and mental hospital in Washington, D.C., and to I.U.

Student Legal Services. She has worked professionally as a social worker in Columbus, Ohio, and as legal assistant for the United Charities of Chicago, Legal Aid Bureau. Commenting on the concept of volunteerism as a whole, Mrs. 'Laughlin said, "It is not enough just to want to help. 'Help' has become a nasty word to some who need aid." She suggested the need is for volunteers to come to community and university organizations with ideas of what to do, not just offers to The VSB serves as a clearinghouse to match community needs with student volunteer help.

Selection of the new director was made by a committee of leaders in community service organizations, stu- Ex-'Tough-Guy' Actor Neal Dies HOLLYWOOD (AP) Tom Neal, whose moderate stardom in B-pictures was eclipsed by the violent dramas of his offscreen life, has died eight months after being freed from prison. Neal, 58. who made headlines in 1951 due to a fight with actor Franc hot Tone over a buxom blonde actress, was found dead in bed at his North Hollywood home yesterday. Authorities said he apparently died of natural causes. The body was found by Neal's 15-year-old son, Thomas.

The ruggedly handsome Neal, who specialized in tough-guy roles, had starred in some 100 low-budget movies before the highly publicized fight over Barbara Peyton cost him his career. Tone, seriously injured, married Miss Peyton after the fight but she divorced him 53 days later and resumed her romance with Neal. However, Neal's career plummeted and in later years he became a landscape gardener in Palm Springs. Then in 1965 his third wife, Gail, was found shot to death in her bedroom. Neal, charged with murder, contended that she was killed during a struggle for the pistol.

He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and given a 1-10-year prison sentence. He was released on parole last Dec. 7 after serving six years. His movie career was limited to major roles in minor films. Credits included "Within the Law," "The Flying Tigers," "China Girl," "Behind the Rising Sun," "Crime, "First Man into Tokyo." His first wife, actress Vicky Lane, divorced him and his second wife died in 1958.

(UPI)A Federal court injunction yeserday halted enforcement of Indiana's new welfare law freeing some men from the responsibility of contributing to their stepchildren's income. The preliminary injunction was issued by a three- judge Federal panel. It temporarily stops the enforcement of the law requiring consideration of a stepfather's income in figuring benefits under the aid to dependent children program of the welfare department.

"A stepfather could be as wealthy as Croesus and yet the stepchild would have no legal means to force that stepfather to provide his or her a memo accompanying the injunction said. The decision was issued in a case filed last April by legal services attorneys from Fort Wavne and Gary against the Indiana Department of Public Welfare.
