Archived memo from the University of Illinois News Bureau about Bill Goodman's PLATO Programmable Terminal Keyboard (PPTK) control system for orthopedically disabled PLATO users, which allowed users to control a light which scans terminal keyboard characters and alter graphics on the screen through a series of eight mounted switches. Goodman, a physically disabled programmer with cerebral palsy, served at the time as director of the handicapped technology program at the University of Illinois Computer-Based Education Research Laboratory (CERL), vice president of the Illinois Professional Association of Individuals with Disabilities, member of the Illinois Governor's Planning Council on Developmental Disabilities and member of the executive board of directors for United Cerebral Palsy of East Central Illinois. In the memo, Goodman is quoted, "I am not content with yesterday's accomplishments of making this campus physically accessible for people in wheelchairs. Instead, I've created a new technology to make this campus intellectually accessible and scholastically functional for a wide range of orthopedically handicapped students" (p.7).

Students participating in the Union Circus dress in various costumes for a photograph. This photo was found in the scrapbook of former University of Michigan student, Stowell Stebbins. Some are knights and cavemen, while the most notable are animals (bear, rabbit, giraffe, monkey, and large cats). The image was inscribed "The Wild Beasts" which a caption below reading "GR-R-R-R-R-OWL", perhaps in reference to the large animals often found in other circuses of the day. No exotic animals made an actual appearance at the Union Circus, so students themselves filled that particular role. They pose for a group photo outside of the Ferry Field tents.
