Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, also on ABC, said, negotiating for the hostages made it more likely other hostages would be kidnapped.

WHEN THE EYES BECOME EARS
I
n the darkened lecture hall, each phrase the professor speaks stirs the hands of the interpreter who sits in the front row.
Amy Post's eyes alternately focus on these fluttering hands and then on a screen, where slides show famous works of art.
Classes at the University of Kansas can be difficult for any individual, but Post, who is deaf, must rely on others to put words with the pictures.
Post, Vienna, Va., sophomore, is studying graphic arts. She has two interpreters who help her on alternate days in and out of class.
One interpreter, Susan Quinlan, has been working with Post for two years. Quinlan said she thought that by choosing to associate with speaking people, Post was sentencing herself to a life in which she would understand little of what went on around her. Although the two do not share a common view of the deaf person in society, they work and learn together as best they can.
Quinlan interprets Post's advertising photography class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A few weeks ago, the class was shooting pictures of high-topped tennis shoes.
The instructor set up the shot and explained what he was doing. He urged the class to move
Post and Quinlan stayed back from the buzzing crowd, giving Quinlan room to sign what the professor was saying. A tape deck was playing that, when added to the murmuring students, made it difficult for all but Post to hear the lesson.
The class was an informal one, but Post caught only what the instructor said and none of the chatter from her classmates.
Quinlan and Wilcox's services are arranged for Post through the Student Assistance Center. Interpreters are provided for Post because of a federal law that requires equal access to education. This same law requires buildings to have entrance ramps for persons in wheelchairs.
Post's other interpreter, Louisa Wilcox, Mission senior, is studying elementary education. Both of Wilcox's parents are deaf, and she said she learned signed around her house — just as most children learn to speak.
Post lived in Lewis Hall for two years with roommates who knew no sign language. During that time, she met Moree Mullins, Lawrence graduate student. Mullins studies deaf education at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
"They asked her many questions, and developed a good relationship once they got over their shyness of her," Mullins said. "They invited her back. My cooperating teacher wants her to teach them art lessons." Post was delighted by the invitation, and
Mullins is a student teacher at Centennial Elementary School, 2145 Louisiana St. She has taught her students some sign language. Mullins invited Post to meet her class a few weeks ago.
This year, she and Mullins share an apartment with another friend who communicates with Post mostly through pantomime.
