Fund drive is drawing responses, little money
By MICHAEL MERSCHEL special to the Kansei
the response to the Kansas Audio-Reader Network's November fundraising drive has been tremendous, but the amount of money raised so far has been modest, the program's director said yesterday.
"It isn't unusual for us to receive contributions of a dollar," said Rosanna Hurwitz, director.
Hurwitz said the goal of the drive was $14,000, and $3,000 already had been raised. The network needs money, she said, to make up for money lost in state budget cuts.
The small contributions come from users of the network, who sometimes live on a fixed income and don't have much to give, she said. They give what they can, she said, because they find the service so invaluable.
and the network broadcasts programs for the visually handicapped across Kansas on a signal that can be picked up only by special receivers. Programming includes books, periodicals and local newspapers, which are read aloud by volunteers-

instructors. The money raised in the drive is earmarked for underwriting the cost of the monthly program guide, purchasing new receivers and matching federal funds, she said.
The network also has to pay for $1,800 in damage caused by a break-in earlier this year.
Hurwitz said the Kansas Legislature had supported the network in the past.

"It it's just that dollars are so tight," she said. "That's why we have to appeal to the public."
And while a presidential award hangs in the entryway to the cramped offices, Hurwitz said money from the federal government was getting harder to come by.

By a Kansan reporter
Three KU students have advanced to the state level in the competition for the Rhodes Scholarship, said the director of the College Honors Program.
Kirstin Myers and Michael Sind, both overland Park seniors, will compete with 13 others Dec. 2 and 3 in Topeka, to be nominated for the two Kansas positions, said David Katzman, the director. Leslie Ann Hogan, Purcelk, Okla., senior, will compete to be nominated for one of the two Oklahoma positions.
Students may either compete in their home state or the state where they attend university or college, Katzman said.
The Rhodes Scholarship covers all fees, including living and travel expenses, during the scholar's two-year education at Oxford University in Oxford, England. Thirty-two U.S. students receive the award each year.
Cecil Rhodes, an English statesman and entrepreneur, bequeathed money that established the scholarship in 1902.
The KU selection committee nominated its applicants to the state committee, which will interview the candidates for possible advancement.

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO CALL YOUR GRANDPARENTS?
a) Five minutes into "The Lawrence Welk Show."
b) About a week before your birthday.
c) When you just want to tell them you miss them, and that you ate the last of Grandma's chocolate-chip cookies this morning.
There's nothing grandparents like better than a call from a grandmother in college. But if you do accidentally happen to interrupt Lawrence, you ought to have something worth telling them. For example, you could mention that you called using AT&T Long Distance Service because you can depend on AT&T's high quality service and exceptional value. And then you can tell them that AT&T gives you immediate credit if you dial a wrong number. And that you can count on AT&T for clear long distance connections.
Finally, of course, you should quickly reassure them that you're eating enough, then let them hurry back to the TV to catch the rest of the Lennon Sisters' Blue Oyster Cult Medley.
