Carolina Deddin, ~ugh, Many unaware, o Student BY SID GRIFFIN Of The Gamecock staff Some handicapped USC students are eligible for financial help but not aware of it, officials of the South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department said last week. "We know that there are students at Carolina eligible for our help financially and in other ways. but we can't seem to reach them to tell them." Dave Lun dgren, a rehabilitation Gener.' Counselor said. Lundgren explained the Vocational Rehabilitation Department as diagnostic ser vices, artificial appliances, counseling and guidance, training and placement. He said thce eligible would have to have a disability preventing employment, and that the individual must show interest in working after the vocational rehabilitational help. Phil Grubbs, also a General Counselor, said "This isn't charity by any means, they owe us by becoming a taxpayer, and we want to see them become hard workers." -He said the person is rehabilitated for himself and that the end goal is finding the person a good job. The South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation center rehabilitated 11,476 people last year, they said, and of all the money spent on them, they are paying it back to the government through taxes within an average of 3.7 years. South Carolina was the first in the nation for getting the handicapped jobs last year, according to the department's figures. The Department is funded 20 per cent by the state and 80 per cent by the federal government. Lundgren said many students simply need counseling instead of job placement. With these jobs, he said, the handicapped person's income increases an average of 541 A WHILE EDS & ACCESSORIES EDUCED PRICES WATERBED FRAMES for the irniture industry. ics and materials left over after ed frames for our customers. hese frames in stock in a wide md upholstery materials. our factory in White Rock, any ir by appoint.ment on Saturday. if you're in the market for a Ivertised these specials we were ie factory, but not on the~ phone. il be selling these WATERBED rom $90 - $150.
