Arthritis, blindness
can't Stflll Delgado

By Amy Barnes
Stuff” Tiler

“'hen she graduates frotn col-
lege, LTK coitimunication student
Maria Delgado plans to return
home to Mexico and educate the
citizens about blind people.

“It’s 11 real problem in Mexico.
The blind people there are all
people who beg and play instru»
ments." she said. “I want to try to
do something about it to help
them."

Delgado has overcome her own
battle with blindness over the past
few years. At age 15, she was diag—
nosed with juvenile arthritis,
which eventualh led to Lomplete
blindness in both eyse

Iortunatel1 for Delgado she
didn t begin to lose her sight until
after she had arrived in Kentucky
as an exchange student. There
were medical facilities in the L'nit-
ed States that made the transition
easier.

“'hen she graduated from
Shelb1 (. ounty High School she
was almost L'oiiipletely blind. Del-
gado's host family recommended
that she work with the Kentucky
Department of the Blind in
Louisville to learn how to adjust
to her loss ofvision

Six months after beginning the
rehabilitation program Delgado
was ready for college. The
Department of the Blind decided
to sponsor Delgado and offered to
pay her tuition 11nd board if she
chose 11 college 111 the L'nited
States.

Since Delgado already was
familiar with Kentucky she decid—
ed to attend UK. She then
received Dave, her guide dog, last
spring 11nd quickly learned her
way around campus.

()ne ofthe first people Delgado
met at UK was Kimberly
Stahlman in the admissions office.
Stahlman recently nominated
Delgado for the Carol S. Adel—
stein Award.

Delgado was one of two UK
students to win the award, which
honors academic excellence, lead-
ership and social qualities and
extracurricular involvement at the
university while overcoming a
personal liability.

Stahlman selected Delgado
because she is “an inspiration to
others on campus."

“She has had to overcotne a lot,
but she would never tell you that.
Everytime I see her I have to re—
evaluate tiiy priorities " Stahlman
said‘ ‘_lust getting up and walking
her doLr causes her a lot of atn.
And you 11 never see Maria aliine.
She attracts people like 11 magnet."

Delgado said she didn’t expect
the award.

It is no surprise, however, to

Jacob Karnes, director ofthe Dis—

ability Resource Center.

“The committee looks for aca—
demic excellence, interactions
with other people and leadership
qualities. \Ve look for the well-
rounded person," he said.

Delgado has managed to main-
tain 'a 4.0 grade-point average at
UK and is involved in the Latin
American Student Association.

In her spare titiie, Delgado
enjoys playing the piano, which
helps with rehabilitation from
arthritis.

She also likes to walk her dog
and spend time with her
boyfriend, whotn she met while
tutoring him in Spanish.

“I try to do as much as possible.

Just sitting around makes my

arthritis worse." Delgado said.

lllow leaders selected TOP UK yearbook, radio station

By Alison Kight
.Smff li’i'm'r

The leaders for the campus
yearbook and the student-run
campus radio station were chosen
Tuesday night by the UK Student
Media Board.

Emily (Iowin was selected as
the 1995—1996 editor in chief of
the Kmrurlt'i'rm yearbook. Thomas
Owens and Dan “'11 were selected
as 1995- I996 general manager
and program director, respective—
ly, of VVRFL-FM, 88.1, UK's stu-

ent— run radio station.

Gowin, a journalism sophrr

I h

more, said she plans to increase
the visibility of the Kentuckian to
students.

“Many students
know that we have
a yearbook,"
Gowin said. “But
they don't know
how to get it or
anything. (Visibil—
ity) is something
that I‘m definitel '
working toward,
but I haven't fig—
11er out how I‘m going to do it
yet.”

Gowin said she wants to try to

Condo

 

et more portraits in the year—
Eook, so students will have more
reason to buy it.

“More people are roing to
want to buy the book iftIiey know
they or their friends are in it. "

(vowin currently is news editor
of the Kenturkmn and was a staff
writer last year.

Current Kentuckian (Io- editor
1n chief Kathryn Abney said she
thinks Gowin will do an excellent
job as editor.

“Emily had 11 very detailed
news section this year, and she did
a Itreally good job of dealing with

,"Abney said. “Her stories were

always well—written, accurate and
on time. She balanced out her
coverage really well, and she'll
work really well
with her staff."

“’11, an art stu-
dio junior, said he
plans to run a
tighter ship next
year as \VRFL
program director.
He also said he'd
like to increase the
visibility of
\VRFL both on campus and off.

“I think \VRFL needs to be
more connected with the (Ken-

Wu

 

tucky) Kernel and the (Lexington)
Herald—Leader," “'11 said. “But I

don‘t want to change the sound of

the station to suit mass commer—
cialization. A lot of people think
of 11s as just being noisv or punk
rock but if they listened they 11
know we re not.

()wens, an undeclared sopho—
more, said he plans to pre1are
\VRFI. for license renewal 111
1906.

“The (Federal Communica-
tions Commission) seems to have
a dislike for college radio sta—
tions." Owens said. “\Ve‘ll proba«
bly have our non—conunercial sta~
tus challenged."

Owens said he a ees about the
need to promote \\ Fl. more.

would bring the art community in
Lexington together nicely."
Owens said. “Plus. we are the
largest and most ethnically diverse
organwation on campus."

Owens said he thought .1 radio
station like \VRFI. was 11 great
thing for college students to have.

“\VRFI. is an aural drug,"
()wens said.
(Zurrent Program Director

Brian Manley said he is confident
in the abilities of'Owens and “'11.

“I think both Tom and Dan
will take the station in the right
direction throu hotit next 1'.ear "
Manley said. “I’llus they re really
good guys. I just hope they keep
me on staff."
