Final one

Because
summer is
funner!

So maybe school has
taught us a lot of
things, grammar not
being one of them.

As the last rail of the

normal Kernel
production for the
l999-2000 school
year, I give you
reasons why the day
after finals is oh so
sweet:

The Kentucky Derby is
the following
Saturday. As
everyone I talked to
has said they are
going, it ought to be
one wild time. Think
zip-lock bags and
duct tape.

You are never too old to
enjoy the therapeutic

value of Super
Soakers. Make it
really fun and get in
a water fight with
other people and do
a drive by.

Road trips are not only
fun, but are
mandatory. Take a
car with a sunroof
preferably, a bag of

chips. some soda and

head away, young
student. l suggest
the mountains, the
beach, or a large
city.

Beach volleyball is much

more fun when the
sand is not so cold

that you have to take

breaks to warm up
your toes.

You never again have to

get up for an eight

o'clock. Well that is a

lie, but at least not
for a while.

Reasons why after-ﬁnals

lsbad:

You are now a graduate.

You have to go to a
real job. You no
longer are in an
environment where
98 percent of the
people are within
three years of your
age. Now your boss
will be in his or her
forties and not even
acknowledge that
college was fun.

Work starts at 9 a.m..
Yikes

Summer school is only a
couple of days away.

Time to buy books.

Pay for tuition again.

Buckle down, the
four weeks are a

roller coaster with as

much ups and downs
as a pogo stick with
Bill Clinton and
Monica Lewinsky on it.

Thanks again

For the feedback and the

compliments. It has
hopefully been as
enjoyable for you as
it has for me. I am
sure that Samantha
feels the same, but
as unusual she is

nowhere to be found.

Good luck on finals.
See you next year,
hopefully.

Center focuses on technology for disabled

By Sterling Rouse
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Disabled persons make up one-fourth of the popula»
tion. yet are one of the most under-served minority
groups in the country, said Bob Glass. director of the
Bluegrass Technology Resource Center in Lexington.

The center is part of the Kentucky Assistive Technol-
ogy Service Network. which works to make technology
and services available to Kentucky's disabled population.

Glass said disabled people are often unaware of their
potential. Adaptive computer technology. which makes
computers accessible to disabled people. is a way to tap
that potential. he explained.

“You can be flat on your back and still have gainful
employment." Glass said.

Jamie Nichols. a social work senior who uses a wheel-
chair. agrees.

”AT gives opportunities for students not to be intimi-
dated by the job market." he said.

When disabled students have access to AT. it can “lev-
el the playing ﬁeld." said Jacob Karnes of the UK Disabili-
ty Resource Center.

Karnes told of a UK architecture student who could
not use his hands.

Twenty years ago. it would have been imposstble for
him to pursue architecture. he said.

By using devices like voice recognition software.
which allowed the student to give vocal commands to a
computer. he was able to earn his degree.

At UK, most of these interesting gadgets are housed in
the multilab in room 265 of William T. Young Library.

They include Dragon Dictate. which allows users to
speak into a microphone and have their Words appear as
text onscreen.

Word prediction software guesses what an unﬁnished
word might be and gives the user options that save key-
strokes.

“We now have Zoom Text this software enlarges the
items on the desktop. as well as text." said Carla (Tanta-
gallo. an UK librarian in charge of the tnultilab. “This
software is of great aid to anyone with low vision prob-
lems."

Nichols feels the multilab is more than adequate.

“I think it would serve the needs of anybody if they

The Student Newspaper at the University of Kentucky, Lennon

know how to use the computer.” he said.

Karnes urges pro-college students to learn to use the
AT they need before going to college. because coursework
alone is demanding enough.

However. there are obstacles to accessing AT.

Limited knowledge of what is available can create
barriers for students who need computer access.

"There are not a lot of people in Fayette County that
know what [AT] means...and why it's hot." said Glass.

()ne way to increase community awareness is to de-
pict disabled people as functional citizens rather than
helpless victims. (‘rlass said,

He mentioned The Bone (‘ollector as a movie that pos-
itively portrays a disabled person using AT.

(‘rlass's long-term goal is to provide an extensive lend
ing library where area students can borrow technology.

“it's going to take some sort of legislation in Frank»
fort to make it work." he said.

While adaptive computer technology is an exciting
field. providing adequate access is tough.

As Bob (‘rlass puts it. “There‘s a cost to doing it. and
there's a cost to not doing it,"

prosecutor‘s office ordered the May 12 meeting
between the two in front of a hearing officer.
Such hearings are held in 25.000 to 30,000 cases a

Turkey quake danger rise cited

WASHINGTON Geologists predict that
Turkey's largest city is likely to suffer a damag-

caused by nearby quakes last year increased the
risk of a tremor at lstanbul to nearly the same
level as parts of California. But the scientists
could not predict how strong the quake would be
or exactly when it would occur. Two major
quakes struck Turkey last year. killing sortie
18.000 people anti knocking down at least 15.400
buildings. The damage totaled between $10 bil-
lion and $25 billion.
