Page 12 III! WISH KN CAROLINIAN Juh 12.1919 Blind are better able to perceive life From page one. By VERA JANE ALLEN and EI I C. WALKER Helen Keller once said "Not blindness, but the attitude of the seeing to the blind is the hardest to bear." This is a very important statement because il illustrates the effect that attitudes of the seeing have on the lives ol the blind. . I ilitii P. Scott writes in her book Can't Your Child See, "Which way do you think of your child—as a blind baby or as a bain who happens to be blind'.'" Do you think of any blind person, child or adult, as being blind firs! or as a person first? If vou think of someone as blind first then vou are obscuring the person and concentrating on their difference. Legal!) blind denotes vision thai ranges from 20/200 in the better eye after correction to total blindness. This group of individuals is the one this article is concerned with even though some of the information is related to the partially sighted. The blind actually perceive life a bit different than the seeing. Many items are normally learned by sisual observation. Blind children do not always know that everyone has two hands. They only know thai all the people who touch them have two hands. Ihe blind are detached from the physical realm. Thev have limitations iii the range and variety of their experiences in mobility, and in iheir interaction with the environment, These limitations contribute to many oilier factors. Il is harder lor ihe blind lo obtain jobs, even though the) have belter job attendance, hotter production and lew accidents. There are also many additional expenses such as braile writers, typewritCTS.Itape recorders, etc. There are also many additional items to think of in concern with housing such as the elimination of barriers. Ihe federal government has compensated some for these ituons eriences b) a personal income lax reduction. But most importantly the attitudes of the blind toss aids their blindness plays an important role in their social adjustment. Attitudes of the born blind and the blinded laler in life differ, fhe older a person is when the loss of sight occurs, the greater the emotional and physical impact, I Tone was blinded later in life one also has a know ledge of what lht\ have lost. Small children will read calmlvi 10 their loss ol sight, while ihe adjustment is much harder for their parents. Blindness may become an asset lo some people. One man said he had better educational opportunities because of his blindness. I he blind mas also be thought of as a minority group. however there is nothing to be proud of in this one. A No probably DO one in their family or neighborhood is likely to he blind. Ihe attitudes ol (he normal population towards the blind play a vers important rote in their Uses. Common negative attitudes toward the blind are pity. fear, guilt and discomfort. If one pities the blind he thinks blindness is equated with helplessness as in the poor helpless blind man in fairy tales. Also there are many verbal connolalions such as blind alley, blind rage, blind drunk, and so on. Manv people are afraid ol blindness and the blind. I hes mas have an undefined fear of catching the blindness. Blindness has also been equated with seneral disease. Many people are afraid of the thought ol being blind themselves. People feel guilty when they think about the blind. " I her.' Inn for the grace of God go I" and "Why is he blind while lean see?" are common statements thought by mans people. Also people feel guilty when they don'l lend assistance to the blind because thev don't know what to do. Discomfort is a common attifude of lesser degree. People are reluctant to enter any situation or relationship that is strange or different. Many people do nol know how to act. Three common positive attitudes are sympathy (not pity), understanding, and respect. Respect for ihe blind would lake into consideration that it takes longer for the blind I*1 do simple1 tasks, but they CAN do them. WCU students pay their debts all.ins in the United States, reports that the U.S. Office ol Education imposed a partial 30-day freeze on its spending after the Bureau of Student Financial Assistance overspent its budget in the effort to collect overdue student loans. Ihe journal reports that Kornfeld had hired 800 part-iime employees as pari of the collection effort, even though the education office had said that that manv persons could nol be hired in such a short lime and. therefore, failed to allocate tin- necessary funds for ihe hiring. Mu' resulting financial crisis, ihe Chronicle reports, resulted in a 30-day moratorium on spending, which began June II. and affected part-time employee salaries anil other expenditures bill did nol ailed either student loans or oilier assistance programs. At WCU. Hardesty pointed out, the collection process follows state and federal regulations and includes institutional efforts to assure prompt pas ments and to remind students when they fall into arrears. After a payment is tsso months past due and institutional efforts lo obtain satisfactory payment arrangements have been unsuccessful, the account is referred to the attorney general of North Carolina. If, at the end of three months, the attorney general's office has been unable to obtain payment or satisfactory arrangements have not been made, the loan paper is placed with a commerical collection agency which is reimbursed at the rale of 30 percent of the face value of the amount it is successful in collecting. Collection agencies ate successful with about 70 percent of the ounts, according to WCU officials. Hardesty pointed om that criticism of the student loan repayment situation sometimes fails to take into account the fact that most commerical establishments would never lend money to applicants who can offer neither collateral or co-signers. But almost all applicants lor NDSI. assistance, he said, svould be classified as "marginal applicants" by commercial lishments. Mans of the students who qualify for NDSI assistance, he said, can offer none of the guarantees of repayment that commercial lending firms require. "In fact," he said, "they wouldn't touch most of these people with a ten-foot nni.-." Located on 2nd floor University Center Open 7 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. Great hamburgers, BBQ.
