r The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 27, 1986 - Page 5 Dyslexic student sues high school educators BOSTON (AP)-Karen Morse was voted president of her senior class and student council and was elected to the National Honor Society. She captained the girls' soccer team and won letters in two other sports. But for nine years neither her teachers nor her friends knew she couldn't read. Now the young woman voted the student with the "most school spirit" is suing her high school in Henniker, N.H., to cover bills at a special school where she caught up on learning. KAREN SAYS she was labeled "learning disabled " in the ninth grade. But not until the end of her junior year in 1983 was she diagnosed as dyslexic, meaning that her brain jumbled the order of words and letters. "Was" becomes "saw" to Karen, whose intelligence is unaffected by dyslexia. She got as far as the ninth grade only by cheating, she said without apology during a visit to Boston from her home in suburban Beverly. "I did a lot of taking other kids' papers, erasing their names. Just cheating mostly. I really didn't think about it. It was a question of ALL YOU CAN EAT!' Beef, Chicken or Bean Burito, with Mexican rice and refried beans survival," said Karen, now a 20- year-old college freshman. AFTER SCHOOL authorities discovered her reading problem, she complains, they did little more than assure her she wasn't stupid. Her reading was still extremely poor, but she made it into the National Honor Society in her senior year because her dyslexia was taken into account, along with all of her social acitivites. A special tutor was called in to teach her six days a week. Karen agreed not to accept her diploma or formally graduate so Henniker High School would pay her tuition at the Landmark Schoori of Beverly, which specializes in: helping dyslexics. After a year at Landmark, the special school recommended she spend another year there to prepare for college. However, Henniker's school district, under a new super- intendent, refused to pay for it and; mailed Karen her diploma last: spring. Her family is suing the school for the $17,000 they paid in Landmark tuition during the second- year, which she completed this summer.

The Red Sox have not won a World Series since 1918, despite near-misses in 1967 and 1975 to the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds. The Mets, since their first season in 1962, won the World Series in 1969 but lost to the Oakland A's in 1972. The Red Sox took an early 2-0 series lead, but the Mets swept the following two games. Boston won Game Five, but the Mets came back in Game Six, capitalizing with two outs in the bottom of the tenth to win. a04.75 ONLY AT' NATIONAL SCIENCE.
