Men's Coalition requests funding
Staff Writer
By MELISSA THOMPSON
Finding a way for men to cope with stress the women's movement has produced has led some students to propose a male social service.
KU Student Senate officials have received a budget request of $1,925 from the KU Senate.
The request included money for office supplies, printing and film rental for the new group, which said in literature that accompanied the request that it would enrich the community's understandings and be to a man in today's changing world.
Mike Pendergast, coalition president, said that the idea of a male social service was novel because he and the other members shared the same or any similar group elsewhere in the country.
THE MEN'S Coalition would offer counseling and referral services and also would sponsor programs on the male mystique he said.
Rick Paradise, vice president of the coalition, said the group, which has $^{49}$
members, had met with positive response from the faculty and administration.
Some faculty members, Pendergast said, thought at first that the formation of the Men's Coalition was a direct challenge to the women's social service, the Women's Coalition.
And perhaps that is a small part of the group. Pendergaster, Overland Park senior, said.
When issues of concern arise on campus, he said, the most vocal groups usually are feminist groups. He said the male group has been used to provide a balance and, perhaps some conflict.
"ITS GOOD conflict," Pendergaat said, "the kind of conflict that comes from good advice."
Although there has been no communication between the groups, Paradise said, he thought the initial reaction would be negative.
He said he and other members hoped it would be a successful project, the two groups to take care of their own projects.
"We're definitely expecting grief from people who don't know they're naturally going to be on the defended side."
Pendereg and Paradise both said they did not expect any problems in getting to the resort.
The choice of the group's name was not accidental. Pendergast said, Because their group had a history of being not accidental.
decided upon a similar name. It may,
however, change.
A new method of transmitting radio waves that utilizes cable TV will benefit blind Kansans, Rosie Hurwitz, director of the University of Kansas, said yesterday. The University of Kansas, said yesterday.
Audio Reader to expand radius
According to Pendergast, about five women have been active in the group since 2005.

Audio Reader, a service for the blind,
broadcasts 90 hours of special programming
each week. About 75 volunteers at KU read
newspapers, magazines and books and
present programs on the activities of the blind.
Some of the programs are broadcast live and some are prerecorded. Hurwitz said the volunteers read a wide range of material, including current fiction, some of which is broadcast from 11 p.m. to midnight during the adult hour.
THE SERVICE is broadcast on a special frequency signal transmitted by KANU, a University radio station. Audio Reader special receivers that can pick up this signal.
Currently, Audio Reader covers a 65-mile radius. The new transmission method not only will enable the service to broadcast throughout the state, but it also will cost
The new receivers, which look like small portable radios, cost about $30 each to manufacture, according to Thomas Fish, chief engineer at Audio Reader. The old receivers, which are regular table radios, cost about $70 each. The old receivers will still be used in a 65-mile radius of Lawrence.
FISH and Welden Johnson, an engineer with Mid-Kansas Microwave CSI, developed a method of converting Audio Reader's signals across the cities across the state. The signal is then
Blood donor turnout lessened by illness
The prevalence of measles and flu are partially to blame for the low turnout in this spring's KU blood drive, Kelly Burke, blood drive chairman, said yesterday.
Yesterday 186 units of blood were given, about 50 units short of that day's goal, Burke
The total amount of blood given for the three rows is 208 units, more than 200 of the 794 units.
Entire living groups had to be turned away because of measles, cold and flu.
I m very disappointed thinking about how many students we have at KU and how much we spend.
Despite the low turnout, Burke said she expected the goal to be just as high for next year.

picked up by cable television and transmitted to individual homes.
Audio reader in Kansas currently reaches more than 3,500 blind and print-handicapped people. Hurwitz said. The service helps to distribute about 1,600 new receivers in private homes, hospitals and nursing homes around the state.
A PRINT-handicapped person is anyone who has trouble reading because of a print problem.
majority of people Audio Reader serves is elderly.
"In the nation Kansas has the fourth largest population percentage wise of people over 65," she said. "We probably reach only a fraction of them now. We're expanding our services to reach more of them."
Audio Reader is the second service of its kind in the nation. The first was in St. Paul. The KU service was financed solely by an anonymous donor when it went on the air in 1974. It is now available at the program, and in 1974, the University assumed the program's funding.
