Audio-Reader moves to new home
Chancellor Gene A. Budig takes a ribbon from Carl Gump, center, chairman of the Louis W. and Dolpha Baehr Foundation, and W.C. Hartley, trustee of the foundation, at the dedication for the Baehr Audio-Reader Center on Friday.

KU's Audio-Reader Network was launched in 1971, the first on a university campus, using radio station KANU's subcarrier frequency to broadcast readings of magazines, books and Kansas City and Topeka newspapers to visually impaired or disabled listeners.
The nation's first university audio- reader program continued to grow up Friday as KU's Audio-Reader Network moved into a new house.
hours a week. The readings were recorded in the network's three studios located in a mobile home between KJHK-FM 91 and the Triangle fraternity house, off Eleventh Street.
other informational programming.
Audio-Reader is broadcast on the signals of five Kansas public radio stations and on some cable TV systems. Listeners need a special receiver to hear the broadcasts.
The 17-year-old network's new center, the former Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house at 1120 W. 11th St., was dedicated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and comments by University administrators and representatives of the foundation that helped finance it. The project cost $375,000.
About 250 receivers were distributed and Audio-Reader broadcast 80
The Louis W. and Dolpha Baehr foundation contributed $150,000 to finance part of the remodeling of the library gifts financed the rest of the project.
In its new home, the network has six soundproof studios for recording.
Programming expanded to 24-hours a day in 1985 and now reaches about 5,000 people with readings of several newspapers, interviews and
"Skeptics among us used to say Audio Reader would never have an adequate home," said Chancellor Gene A. Budig. "They can be forgiven now even though they forgot to properly report things about this particular program.
"It was inevitable that today would come. all it would take would be a
"They forgot how tenacious the staff and many volunteers could be. They forgot how Audio Reader began, grey and prospered."
benefactor." Budig said.
In addition, the Baehr Audio-Reader Center, as it is now called, will initiate a personal taping system to record items for print-handover. The materials will charge $1.50 to cover the cost of the cassette tape and handling costs.
Also, the network plans to start a program to read regional newspapers for eastern and western Kansas.
"There are over 150 Audio-Reader volunteers," Turner said. "This dedicated group puts in over 10,000 hours per year to bring readings of newspapers, magazines and current books to blind and handicapped Kansans.
"Without the dedication of the Audio-Reader family, this program would never have achieved a level of success and would never have deserved this outstanding support." Budig said.
Budig described the network as an example of dedication to service by the network's staff, volunteers and the Baehr foundation.
"I also want to express the thanks of those who are not here, thousands of people throughout Kansas whose schools are being built in a way by Audio Reader." Budig said.
Ralph Turner, chairman of the Audio-Reader Advisory Committee, thanked the volunteers who produce the readings.
"Without this hard work by my fellow volunteers, much of the success of Audio-Reader Network would not have been possible. Reader organizations that use this problem is holding on to good volunteers. This is not a problem we have here at Audio Reader."

United Airlines said a coach seat on a flight from Kansas City to St. Louis would cost $802 while a first class flight would cost $1,264. A spokesman for the airline explained that United flights are not direct to St. Louis, but must first go through Chicago.
However, because of the late date, the costs for many flights and bus fares are astronomical. Reduced rate flights are no longer available on some airlines and reduced fare tickets on buses must be purchased three days in advance.
