"It has gone on and on and on and on," said Feighny, who represents the ward where Tangner lives. "We have given him citation after citation.

He will pay the fine and do nothing. We are about at the end of our rope," she said. Because the city "has no other alternative," Feighny has asked Municipal Counselor Robert D. Allen to get an injunction against Tangner to prevent his use of the property, she said. The property has been a problem for about three years, she Tangner's yard includes a horse trailer, a golf cart and other old vehicles.

"I hope his dealing with district court will show him someone does have jurisdiction," Feighny said. Tangner was unavailable for comment.

OU Station Still Needs Extra Spark; By Beth Powell NORMAN Two years into its new format the University of Okahoma's radio station is in a state of transition, but administrators think KGOU-FM (106) is on the right track. The campus radio station on Jan. 1, 1983, switched from a rock 'n' roll commercial format to become a nonprofit member of the National Public Radio network.

The station has had trouble getting its classical programs off the ground and raising money to pay expenses and a debt left over from its commercial days. KCSC, based at Central State University in Edmond, is one of the only other stations in the area that offers classical music. Mike Dunn, general manager -for KCSC, says OU will have a hard time taking away KCSC's classical music audience that has taken vears to build. OU Assistant Provost Joe Ray says, however, KGOU, with its mixture of classical music, jazz, National Public Radio and some rock 'n' roll is not trying to compete with KCSC. In November KGOU was taken out of the School of Journalism and put under the jurisdiction of the provost.

From KCSC's 1984-85 budget; oi $300,000. only $60,000 was from the university. The rest was from listenei donations, grants and business sup port, Dunn said. KGOU's budget for the year is $209,000 with more than half $140,000 coming from the universi ty and the rest from grants and dona See KGOU, Page 2 NICHOLS HILLS Four Nichols Hills residents will seek the Ward 3 post in the April 2 election, Oklahoma County Election Board officials said. In the other wards, Vice Mayor and Ward 1 Councilman Peter G.

Pierce and Ward 2 Councilman Ann Taylor did not draw any opponents in the April 2 election. The filing period for Nichols Hills ended last week. Those battling for the Ward 3 post include: Sandra Bailey, 42, 1808 Coventry Lane. William E. Dahlgren, 62, 1802 Dorchester Drive.

Mack Maguire, 48, 1710 Wilshire Blvd. Marie Troup, 65, of 1701 Wilshire Blvd. The winner will serve for two years. Mayor John Mee, 54, of 1724 Kingsbury, announced in February he would not seek re-election because the council needs "new blood." The mayor was first appointed to the council in 1978. He won re-election in 1979, 1981 and 1983.

The Nichols Hills City Council revised the three wards last year because of population changes. The change put Mee and Pierce in the same ward.

Now the cerebral palsy victim has an almost unlimited vocabulary, thanks to the generosity of. and four engineers from the Telecommunications plant in west Oklahoma City. Kelly's hearing is unimpaired but the Belle Isle Secondary School student is unable to talk because of her disease.

"She's an intelligent girl," said Orel Peak, principal at the Oklahoma City school for the handicapped. employees R.L. Davis, Rick Smith, Greg Coxsey and Donnie Vest built a computerized voice box that enables Kelly to speak. "What you have done is one great achievement," Peak told the four men while they were checking on the machine's operation last ited," he said. Using $500 worth of materials available in most electronics stores, the engineers built a machine that sits in Kelly's lap and under her wheelchair.

"We wanted to make it where it could be easily duplicated," Vest said. The men said they constructed the device while on the job and shopped for inexpensive materials and parts to keep the cost down. Kelly punches an Atari keyboard in her lap with a head wand, then her computer message travels through a voice synthesizer. A small portable ice chest under her wheelchair contains the synthesizer, a speaker, an amplifier and a battery charger. A special computer program for the synthesizer also was developed.

Kelly, who has had the machine about a week, has a long list of See SHERRI, Page 2 By Joe High EDMOND Ward 3 Councilman Ted Anderson wants the city to "hurry up and build" the joint school system-city park that will be named after him. He simply wants to "go up and look at it." The park, which the council approved at the March 18 meeting, will be located by Orvis Risner Elementary School. "There's so many deserving people in every city. It's hard to honor all of them; so why pick out me?" Anderson said recently. "But I'm really pleased to think they would honor me that much," he said.

"I'm proud they're going to stick my name on it." Anderson, who describes himself as an "old coach, school teacher, principal and councilman." often is fiery when speaking on issues that are close to him. He recently admonished other council members for "disenfranchising" the elderly on absentee voting. "If it's a cut-and-dry issue, I don't mind speaking mv peace," he said. The 70-year-old Anderson did not seek re-election this spring after serving eight years on the council. The councilman said many of his orginial.
