I^chkar said. Also, there are no student representatives on the DIC’s ad visory board, which is made up of administrators, community members and University officials. I-ast year during the hear ings, it was repeated many times that students were necessary on the board, and DIC said they would like students on the board; however, a year later, there an; still no students on the board," Lachkar said. Although the ASUO does not believe the DIC is eligible to receive funding, that does not mean they do not approve of what the DIC is doing, said Caitlin Cameron, ASIJO vice president. IFC member Katy Howard agreed. "I certainly support DIC in theory and would really like to see something worked out in future," she said. The DIC had received money from the Lane County Joint Social Services fund, but this account will run out at the end of February. According to director Patti Worthen-Hunt. the DIC pro vides telephone referrals and in formation to students as well as print materials and library facilities. Kaye said the DIG is aware they need to change many policies to become eligible to receive IFC funds in the future. “We realize we need to in volve students in our program much more than they are now,” Worthen-Hunt said. Recently the DIG had been in volved with Alcohol Awareness week and with training students through Impact Training. “I really feel as if there is a move toward student involve ment in these issues, and DIG is willing to be a coordinate for a lot of those projects.” Worthen Hunt said. The University had promised a matching grant of $2,500 as long as the IFG would fund the other $2,500.

Students prepare class schedules two to three weeks before the end of the term and then begin the search fora list of books to be used in next term’s classes.

Orders should be made no later than four weeks before the start of classes so students can get a recorded copy of their books early in the term. This gives volunteer readers time to make a recording of a book if a copy of the material cannot be found, said Destene Hammond, textbook production coordinator for the talking book and Braille services. But the process isn’t as easy as it seems. Visually impaired students who have no funding often rely on volunteer readers. These students depend on the will ingness of other University students to spend an hour or two of their time reading class materials to them. Because many University classes are geared toward the sighted, visually impaired students often rely on state-paid notetakers for class notes. To keep up with class lectures and discussions, visually im paired students learn to be “highly organized when doing ‘A lot of things that seem very simple and are very simple for other people aren ft very easy for people who are visually impaired. ’ — John Bundy Sometimes “it’s impossible to find out in advance what lK>ok the instructor will be us ing next term," said l.ori McTavish, a junior majoring in leisure studies and services. And when “you do find out the titles of the books, they may not he the same ones that will be used later," said McTavish, who has partial side vision but cannot see from the front of her eyes. “A lot of times I have to find readers to cover sections that have been goofed up on the tape,” she said. Readers help students keep up by reading class materials to them. But even finding readers can cause a problem if the stu dent cannot afford to pay them for their time. Although some funding for reader services is provided for by the Oregon Commission for the Blind, eligibility requirements must be met. Only students who have 20/100 vision, are certified as being legally blind, and who have applied for other forms of financial aid and are receiving job training are eligible for the state program. Five visually impaired students at the University cur rently are being aided by the Oregon Commission for the Blind, which provides funding for notetaker and reader services. ★ COPIES ★ Krazy Kats Try Us! 884 East 13th s'. their schoolwork,” McTavish said. Exams, some of which are taken orally and others of which are administered by readers, often are based on an honor system, McTavish said. Besides, “it would be a waste of time trying to cheat because my vision is so slow.“ Most of the time, instructors are sensitive to the student’s needs, McTavish said. But sometimes instructors “forget what you have to go through to keep up with the rest of the group.” To make instructors more aware of their situation, visual ly impaired students learn to be more assertive and are more in dependent than the average stu dent, said Hilary Gerdes, counselor for students with disabilities. Dependency is a big issue for them, Gerdes said. Many suc cessful students who are visual ly impaired “don’t want to be singled out and will ask for help only when they really need it,” she said. Being able to do things for themselves makes a big dif ference, and complaints about their situation are rarely heard, Geides said. "They really have to take responsibility and figure out how they’re going to solve their problems.” Repairs • Buy and Sell STEREO WORKSHOP 1409 Main Springtiald 741 -1 597
