New procedure gives blind a chance to see
Jane Segebrecht, Lake Quivira sophomore, and Hadley Galbraith, Topeka sophomore, made posters Monday afternoon to promote "Intimacy for Committed Couples," a two-part workshop given by KU professor emeritus Dennis Dailey on November 11th and 12th at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
A congenital eye condition left her legally blind most of her 40 years.
This month she completed artificial cornea implant surgery and began a life of new sight.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Today,
Ginger Flower can use
- which Tauber says is a second chance for the corneal blind.
Intimate signage
"I never expected to see this good." Flower said from her bed in outpatient recovery only 20 minutes after surgery.
Her doctor, Shachar Tauber, was pleased with the results. Follow-up visits in the coming months will tell him just how much vision was restored, he said.
At least 10 million people worldwide suffer from corneal blindness, according to world health officials.

"If I lived there, it would be an annoyance," Zachary said. "I understand that completely. A partial quiet zone anytime after 6 in the evening until 6 in the morning would be a good thing."
City Commissioner David
Schauner expressed other concerns about a partial quiet zone, even though he said he could support it.
"People used to hearing the horn in the day would expect to hear it at night," Schauer said. "That could create a problem."
horn would be audible for only a couple hundred feet. The train horn currently sounds for about a quarter of a mile, he said.
Boyle said he had ideas to solve the safety concerns. He
suggested that medians be in place on each side of crossing to keep people from running over the tracks in the wrong direction to avoid crossguards. He also said a horn, which would be similar to one in a car, could be placed on the poles at the crossings to warn drivers and pedestrians of an incoming train. The
The City Commission unanimously voted to send the issue to the Traffic Safety Commission for their input on the ordinance.

Program
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Hope said that the University had added two sections of beginning Chinese classes because of student demand.
The Freeman Foundation grant was a package grant, encompassing more than just the Kansas Asia Scholars. The purpose of the grant was to educate
Kansans about East Asia.
The funding also provided salaries to four new faculty members that the University will pick up once the funding runs out.
With the Kansas/Asia Community Connection, the Center for East Asian Studies ran informative radio spots on KJHK and High Plains public radio in Southwestern Kansas.
There is no expected deadline for when the center planned to find funding because it is constantly searching for grants, Hope said.
Package grants are preferred to isolated ones, she said.
"Having the chance to talk and interact with people of other cultures is going to make it easier to understand them." Ladd said.
"The KAS was not written in isolation to begin with, and it would not be written in isolation for re-funding purposes," Hope said.
Nathan Ladd, Effingham junior, attended the Kansas Asia Scholar trip in the summer of 2005. Ladd said the program was key in broadening the horizons of students.

Jaywalk
Since Jaywalk started on September 18th, we have had a couple obstacles:
we have had to delay the opening of Corbin Hall's site, and implement a temporary phone number. While utilization is up, we apologize to those who have had difficulties with trying to reach the service. If the regular Jaywalk number (864-3222) is not working, feel free to dial the circulation desk at Anschutz, 864-4928 during our hours Sunday- Thursday 9PM-1AM. We are working to remedy the issues we have had thus far.
Our main goal with Jaywalk is to maintain the security of the student body using a personal method of a pair of male and female background-checked escorts to walk persons from any point on campus to another (even a short distance off campus).
THANKS FOR WALKING WITH US!!
If you are interested in being a volunteer with Jaywalk, feel free to e-mail David Charles (Jaywalk Volunteer Corrdinator) at dc_charles@yahoo.com
