If a word is not on her list, she types a code and spells the word. Misspelled words are difficult to understand, but most words and sentences can be understood with a little practice. Kelly has experience with typing.

She was typing the school's absentee cards each day before her machine was built, Peak said. A California firm builds and markets similar machines for about $1,500. The technology for the portable devices is constantly improving. "Even a year ago it wasn't available," Davis said. The voice box is the second Belle Isle project Davis has built.

Last year he assembled a training module for dispatchers so students who can speak but have handicaps can learn to be radio dispatchers. Davis said the voice box idea came from Peak. Kelly's machine stays at the school but is available for her use during the school day. To show her appreciation for the workers, Kelly typed a note for Davis last week. "You have open a new start for me.

Thank you. I can maybe be more independent now. "There are lots of people like me who need something like this. You all have done a great job," Kelly's note said. 23rd COUNCIL IS 789-5833 Young Fashions.

Listener support has increased dramatically, he said. OU officials are hoping the same thing will happen at KGOU, but Central State University is not giving up its audience. "I don't think they realized just how much money it was going to take to lure our listeners away," Dunn said. "You are going to have a tough time in any case beating us in classical music. "Anytime a station switches it is going to take a while for people to discover that they have switched their format." Operating costs for KGOU in the past two years were about $60,000 more than the station had to spend, and it still owes $180,000 from its commercialrock 'n' roll days, Ray said.

In 1982, the OU regents spent more than $200,000 on new equipment, including a 300-foot broadcasting tower, to make KGOU eligible for a National Public Radio membership. Despite the new equipment, the station is frequently knocked off the air because of electric and telephone line problems. "We have had some difficulties, but they are not insurmountable," Ray said. "I think we have got a fine, though limited, signal." KGOU is at its maximum power and tower height for its license, Ray said. The FM station now can be heard, as promised when the tower was installed, within a 30-mile radius, Ray said.

It reaches east to Shawnee, north to Edmond, south to Purcell and west of Mustang, Ray said. KGOU can be picked up outside that area, but the signal is blocked in a few places within the circle, he said. KCSC has a new antenna that sends their signal to listeners as far away as Kansas and Texas, Dunn said. The strong signal and years of building an audience have boosted fund-raising at the Edmond radio station, Dunn said. The station is ranked 18th best in country in total fund-raising even though its market is the 43rd largest.

The first job of KGOU'S new manager, Patricia Wente, will be to get the station's spending in line with available funding, Ray said. "We have a great deal of confidence that the station has a good future in front of it as it gains new management and moves forward to meeting the goals that have been established," Ray said. Continued years is enough. I decided to give somebody else We need to get new blood in he said. "The City of Edmond is in good shape, good hands." Anderson came to Edmond 50 years ago last Sep-.

tember. He was a math teacher in Edmond until 1956. He" then served as junior, high principal for 20 before retiring in 1976. AndersOn also was Edmond High School wres- tling coach from 1940 to 1942, 1948 to 1950 and 1952' to 1960. The school system donated more than two acres" of land last fall after city leaders noted a need for more park space on Edmond's south side.

The park's estimated cost is about $30,000. Ted Anderson Park is designed to meet the needs; of children, residents in the area and the said Don Booher, parks and recreation department -director. It will have playground equipment, picnic tables; and cement game tables, such as for chess and checkers. The park's construction may begin by this sum2" mer. Mayor Carl Reherman said during a recent cil meeting that the park was named after Ander-2 son because of his contributions to both the city and school system.

Anderson said he will continue to fight for the rights of the elderly. He has served two terms on the Oklahoma Silver-Haired Legislature, as well as other boards to assist the elderly. Running for Anderson's office in the April 2 general election are Tom Kennedy and Bill Parker. Pipes to Skirl A Second Fret Bag'n Baggage House. jeRomcs Continued upset with Tangner and his methods of yard-keeping.

Nichols Hills recently cleaned up the yard of 1401 Glenbrook Terrace, owned by Carl Tangner's mother, Leona G. Tangner, who no longer lives at the house and is under the guardianship of another son, Cecil. The Nichols Hills City Council declared the home a nuisance in October and officials from the Oklahoma City-County Health Department also deemed it a health nuisance. Among items lying on the ground around the house were a hospital bed, seed spreaders, auto parts, tire rims, tires, tire jacks, wheelchairs, radiators, a stove, washer, dryer, chairs, beer kegs, and an air compressor. The property also had numerous vehicles at the side and rear of it including a two-ton truck, a van, a mail wagon and four motorcycles.

Carl Tangner admitted he owned most of the items at the house and claimed the vehicles were not abandoned. Fans of Scottish music and the skirl of the pipes will have more than feast when the Battlefield Band makes their Oklahoma City debut at 8 p.m. March 31 at the Second Fret, 3009 Classen. Composed of Brian McNeil on the fiddle, mandoeello, guitar, and what have you; Alan Reid on the keyboards; Alistair Russell on guitar, and Dougie Pincock on the Highland war-pipes, Lowland smallpipes and whis- ties, Battlefield has I achieved a reputation as one of the finest bands performing tradi- tional Scottish music, The band members also have pioneeVed combining modern instruments such as the syn-' thesizer and electric organ with the more traditional fiddle bagpipes to ancient jigs and reels. They blend this with ai sense of humor that allows Celtic dance tunes to a Brazilian samba rhythm or a bagpipe, rendition of the old: Creedence Clearwater Revival hit "Bad Moon Rising." McNeil and Reid, the only original group members, also are song writers, using the traditional form to comment on our times.

Reid's settings of poems by the Scots coal-miner poet Joe Corrie are considered classics, and McNeil's "Lads of the Fair" has been recorded several times by other artists and has become the unofficial anthem of Falkirk, his Scottish hometown.
