Blind Get Computer Terminals

Braille producing computer code was rare, but a concept in the minds of three persons three years ago. But this summer that concept is now public.
Dr. Dale Rummer, associate professor of engineering, or electrical engineer. Under Rummer's direction, Shonyo and a small team of graduate students built the computer terminals
Use of the terminals will be demonstrated Monday, and plans call for them to be permanently installed by the end of the summer.
Mike Shonyo, a doctoral candidate in electrical engineering, designed and built braille producing computer terminals to aid the terminations. The terminals look and work somewhat like a typewriter.
The terminals will be used primarily by Professor Charles Hallenbeck. associate professor
Gas Royalty Rates Freed
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Supreme Court Wednesday declined 6 to 10 review a ruling that strips the Federal Power Commission of authority to monitor emissions on the sale of natural gas.
Besides the government,
appeals were filed by Mobil Oil Co.
Cities Service Oil Co., and Shell
Oil Co. all challenge the Cir-
THE FPC'S authority to regulate the price of gas moved interstate was approved by the state legislature. The current dispute centered on whether the landowner who grants the right to explore, drill for and recover natural gas also has jurisdiction over the property therefore under FPC jurisdiction.
More than 13 million cubic feet of natural gas is sold yearly in the United States. Of that revenue in excess of $2.2 billion, More than one-eighth of this is owned by a company.
The FPC, in seeking a hearing, bad said the ruling by the U.S. court that Mr. Johnson of Columbia could lead to higher prices for consumers. The appeal was turned down without extenuating costs, and the decision of Justice William O. Douglas. Two other justices, Potter W. Powell Jr. and Fowler J., did not participate.

of psychology, who with Rummer and Shonyo originated the idea.
Hallenbeck, who has been blind since he was a teenager. He was given a padded center on campus to print braille for him. But it was a somewhat slow process, he explained, because the card deck to the center, where the computer had be adjusted to set the printout in braille. All of this took about an hour.
Now the emphasis has shifted "mute terminals so that blind users can communicate" use computers where they work. The computer terminals Shonyo is now working on in Learned Hall will eventually be set up permanently in a lab in Halleenkos' office, from Halleenkos' office.
He said he would use the in-
formation and psychology of ex-
periments. In addition, he has introduced computing methods in his
The idea of computer terminals is not unique. Four or five places across the nation, such as
Rochester Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, already have them in operation.
What is unique about Shonoya's terminals is their design. Hallenbeck explained that the terminals made the keys move as if the operator were making a call, and then using a long printed read-out sheet in braille such as some systems used.
It is not known yet whether孙宇翔's design will prove effective in other conditions. But that will be determined by Halenbeck's use of a new sensor.
Hallebueck said he would keep extensive data on the type of use, good and bad points of operation and the best approaches to hooping and improving the design.
If the design should prove feasible, Hallenbeck said, it might eventually be manufacture and produced commercially.
An FPC hearing examiner, and then the Commission itself in question, may issue payments may be regulated by the FPC. But the Circuit Court rules that the commission's officer is not really engaged in sales in terms of federal law and Supreme Court decisions and that it is not obligated to the 'market value' of natural gas as interpreted by state or federal authorities.
Under a typical lease a royalty owner receives a one-eighth payment free of any of the costs of production, except taxes. He is also permitted a depletion under federal income tax law.
"This system did not originate with the Docking administration, but it must have," he added. "haven't existed. I'm sure Robert Docking would have invented it."

Hanson said Shultz proposed removing the job of highway clerk in the city and putting highway building is too important to all the people of Kansas to be able to work on it.

Grant Establishes Newspaper Course
To qualify for most of the program, students should be able to speak the language of the host country, have a reasonably high grade average, be in good health and adapt to a new environment.
Students can receive six hours of credit for the course
34 hours of credit for one year.
The cost for this program is $600, plus $3,000 in France. The fees cover tuition, living expenses and food expenses.
Herrfield said that the foreign studies office has wanted to involve more students in the programs. She said that there was no limit on the number of students in the Junior Year, Abroad program.
Herzfeld said that when she took students to Costa Rica they often had to revise their plans for a trip to the island of quarters or to save money.
