Study groups among handicapped

She said she has organized a reading group attended by
blind students as well as students who can see. Volunteer
students read the class material for the handicapped
students.
Though handicapped students find instructors are
generally helpful and understanding, Kunasek and Myerson
are planning workshops for student affairs personnel and
faculty who work with handicapped students to make them
sensitive to special needs, Meyerson said.
The handicapped student's special needs do not seem to
include extra help in job placement, said Frank Hallgren,,
UNL's placement director.
Hallgren said he has had no handicapped students asking
fnr Violn in his nffif.l dllrinff the oast vear. The director said
he received a letter from the President Ford s Commission
on Placement of the Handicapped which reads "the handi
capped have shown that they are able to perform virtually
any task," So, handicapped students shouldn't present any
placement problems, Hallgren said.
Erickson said she "lucked out" in getting her job. The
wheelchair-confined student said she did field work at the
district rehabilitation services office. While she was there,
Erickson said, a position became vacant and she was hired
to fill it. ' .

to a wheelchair owns his own electrical design and repair

Handicapped encounter
bias of other students
CUndef theTirectioii of Meyerson, Kunasek is developing
programs at the campus to make students and faculty more
aware of handicapped students. ' ' ....
For example, a Special Students Project was started this
semester, and designed to erase misconceptions some have
about the disabled, Kunasek said. On Wednesday evenings,
a group of handicapped students meet with other students
in Centennial College. ,f .. om
The group provides a forum for more effective com
munication, said Coyle, a member of the group. .
Kunasek said the group made an effort to get to know
each other as individuals first, before discussing any.

The calculations you face require no less.

. , . . !
Today, even so-called "non-technical" courses
(psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a vari
ety of technical calculations complicated cal
culations that become a whole lot easier when
you have a powerful pocket calculator.
Nwi kuijiiikihgiy, iliac arc quite a few such
calculators around, but ours stand apart, and
ahead. We started it all when we introduced the
world's first scientific pocket calculator back in
1972, and we've shown the way ever since.
The calculators you see here are our newest,
the first of our second generation. Both offcryou
technology you probably won't find In compet
itive calculators for some time to come, if ever.
Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log and
trig calculations, including rectangularpolar
conversions and common antilog evaluations.
It's display is fully formatted, so you can choose
between fixed decimal and scientific notation.
Our HP-25 does all that and much, much
more. It's programmable, which means it can
solve automatically the countless repetitive
problems every science and engineering student
faces.
With an HP-25, you enter the keystrokes
necessary to solve the problem only once.
Thereafter, you just enter the variables and
press the RunStop key for an almost instant
answer accurate to 10, digits.
Before you invest in a lesser machine, by all
means do two things t ask your instructors
"about the calculations their courses require; and
see for yourself how effortlessly our calculators
handle them.
Both the HP-21 and HP-25 are almost
certainly on display at your bookstore. If not,
call us, toll-free, at 800-538-7922 (In Calif.
800-662-9862) for the name of an HP dealer
