KU class tours School for Blind
Meeting and observing exceptional children for the first time, members of KU's Education 70 class toured the Kansas School for the Blind Tuesday.
Assistant instructor Ray Swassing said seven more such trips are scheduled this semester.
"The purpose of these tours," Swassing said, "is to acquaint students with the substance of special education, the substance being exceptional children.
"The trips are particularly beneficial because they provide living experiences to supplement lectures and texts."
Surprised by attitudes
Joyce Bond, St. Louis, Mo.
senior, said she expected a "suppressed atmosphere." Instead she found a campus similar to that of any public school. "The children seemed to be adapted to the school, instead of the school being adapted to the children."
Uncertain of what they'd find at the school, most class members were surprised by the attitudes of the blind students.
"They all seemed so happy," observed Cindy Broker, Prairie Village junior. She attributed this to the school's emphasis on social as well as academic life.
The Deserters, a self-taught rock group consisting of blind

students, performed current hits and imitations for the visitors.
Following their performance, two members of the band, Bill and Leonard, confidently guided students on tours of classroom, library and recreation facilities.
Faith Kuhns, Overland Park junior, noted their ability to maneuver about the campus. "They took over in any situation and seemed very capable."
Leonard and Bill also presented an instruction program on object perception, mobility and learning and writing of Braille.
"I was surprised at their willingness to discuss their handicaps," Pat O'Brien, Ft. Meade, Md., junior said. "They didn't mind people discussing their blindness with them."
Not a handicap
Larry Smith, Prairie Village senior, thought the reason for their outgoing world view was faculty and administration attitudes. "While most people would try to help a blind person as much as possible, the teachers had them do things themselves."
"Students were treated as if they were sighted," Sue Ashmore, Sioux City, Iowa, junior, agreed. "The faculty attitude made blindness seem like it wasn't a handicap."
Pam Gast, Topeka junior, was encouraged by small classes which afforded more individual attention. "Many special education classes are overcrowded," she said. "The student-teacher ratio here lends itself to a good learning situation."

SUA hosts post-game receptions
KU students who have attended a post-game reception in the Kansas Union may be familiar with the helpful comments from a smiling group of KU coeds, outfitted in navy blue and white suits.
The group is the newly-formed Student Union Activities (SUA) Hostesses which launched its program last spring.
Composed of 27 sophomores, juniors and seniors, the committee has served at the Chancellor's reception for new students this fall, led guided tours of the Union and performed hostess duties at receptions following football games.
Heading the group is Barb Blee, Bonner Springs junior, who said the program has met with favorable reactions so far.
The committee is compiling information on campus history to add interest to guided tours. "We are trying to acquaint ourselves with some of the unique backgrounds of our buildings of which most visitors are unaware," Miss Blee said.
Although the girls were selected on the basis of poise, good grooming and familiarity with the campus, they meet frequently to brush up on points of etiquette and proper ways of serving large numbers, Miss Blee said.
