Audio-Reader Informs the Blind; Volunteers Read Papers, Novels
For a person with normal vision it is hard to appreciate the situation of the blind, who often find themselves in the creation of the daily newspaper or the enjoyment of a current best seller. For almost a year audiovisual services have enabled blind person's information gap, broadcasting news, novels and electronic companionship to those people who have lost their sight.
Audio-Reader programs originate from Sudler House, a house-turned studio which stands at the foot of the Triangle Fraternity house. From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., volunteers can be found in the library and read aloud from one of the
classics. According to Brad Canfield, Belleville senior and assistant director of Audio-Reader, volunteer reader ranges from 14-year-old high school to the community from the lawrence community.

Cairfield said that in addition to volunteers students can now receive up to two hours of credit for work on Audio-Reader.
ONE OF those students is David Eisenstark, Columbia, Mo. senior, who reads a total of four and a half hours a week for two weeks of credit. Eisenstark said his family asked him to interview him interested in Audio-Reader.

"It's good experience, it's a good service, and it is for credit, which helps." Elsenstark said. "It doesn't hurt you; you'll find out it's a good worth it."

PROGRAMMING for Audio Reader includes a Best Seller Hour, a Sleuth or consequence Hour old, hour dramas.
Canfield said some new program was created this year, including a world travel program and a humor program that draws sources from around the globe.
The mechanics of Audio-Reader involve the sub-carrier transfer through a wireless University of Kansas. The ability to send different signals at the same time is common to all FM radio broadcasts, but is seldom used.

THE COMMITTEE, appointed last week by Acting Chancellor Raymond Nichols, was charged June 28 by the University Council to review the "procedures now employed for publicizing grants

VOTE: 'FOR' The REPEAL Ordinance To De-Annex The Riverside Area Tuesday, September 19
1. We, the Riverside committee, feel that we were treated unfairly by the way that this annexation was forced upon us against our will.
2. We are opposed to an increase in taxes when the services that we will receive are no different from nor better than those we received while living in the country.
3. We feel that everyone has the right to choose where he wants to live and work without being encroached upon later by another governing body. With the increased tax burden, some of the area residents will be forced into losing their homes.
