Watson helps blind students
A reading room for visuallyhandicapped students has been established in Watson Library, said Tom Moore, KU-Y adviser. The new program is sponsored by KU-Y under Operation Tutormatch.
Under the program, volunteers record reading materials for blind and partially-sighted students, aid them in using the library and read directly to them if necessary, said Leslie Saunders, Hugoton junior and chairman of Operation Tutor-match.
More than 20 students have volunteered to aid the four known
X-zone has new keeper
To expedit the traffic during peak hours, a parking lot attendant now operates the X-zone parking lot gate, said E. P. Moomau, campus police chief.
The attendant collects fees, he said, so students don't have to wait for the gate to operate.
Before the new system was initiated, Moomau said, traffic often backed up on Mississippi Street and Memorial Drive.
Moomau said the attendant was not at the lot to stop monetary losses resulting from students breaking of the arm of the gate.
"The lot is not a money-making venture," he said. "Money received goes to improve parking facilities."

visually-handicapped students at KU, Miss Saunders said. Volunteers are committed to one hour a week in the reading room, located in 353 Watson, and can be contacted for help at other times.
Gerry Hansen, a partially-sighted business graduate student, initiated and helped organize the new program. He said he had been leary of going to a school with no services to aid him and he hoped this program would encourage more visually-handicapped students to come to KU.
Hansen said financial problems remained in setting up the program. Much of the program involved recording material for visually-handicapped students, and funds were needed to finance the needed tape recorders, he said. He hoped to obtain the
funds through the Auditing and Finance Committee of the Student Senate allocation of student fees, or from Lawrence service clubs.
Space for the reading room was available in the library last year, but the program was not organized until this year, said Terrence Williams, assistant director of the library.

Dissent series begins
With a discussion of the issues, aspects and definition of dissent, the University Christian Movement (UCM) began its four-part series, "Dissent: In or Out?" Sunday night at the Kansas Union.
Rick von Ende, Abilene, Tex. graduate student and vice-chairman of the Student Senate Executive committee; Ambrose Saricks, professor of history and associate dean of the graduate school; and Robert Shelton, assistant professor of religion, spoke to over 100 people enrolled in the course.
Von Ende categorized factors causing dissent as external or internal in relation to the university.
As external factors, he listed the supposed unresponsiveness of governmental and social institutions to students, the "excessive" power of the defense establishment, the "hypocrisy" of a society which falls below its professed ideals and the "growing impersonality of the post-industrial society."
Internally, von Ende said the lack of communication between the university and those it serves, the minorities' problems and the "overreaction of authority when
