she would recommend if they
choose to have administrative
action taken.
DUNCAN SAID "in half of the
cases, students brought their attorneys
with them, and the attorneys
recommended them to
take administrative action."
Steve Brown, SG attorney
general, said, "Students know
what they're getting from Marsha,
but they don't know what they'll
get from the campus court."
Brown added that "students are
often tougher on other students
than are administrators."
Duncan said that the campus
court is often misunderstood.
"There is nothing formal about the
campus court except for the fact
that it is recorded. What a campus
court hearing really means is that
a group of people sit around and
discuss your problem and your
situation. It's really an informal
discussion. I'm sure the connotation
is really off-center ir
terms of what it's actually in
tended to be," she said.

have a need to continue exploring
alternatives." Chuck Chandler,
conference director, summed up
the South Carolina White House
Conference on Handicapped Individuals.
The conference was held
Tuesday in the Carolina Coliseum
and is part of a nationwide
nrncTram thp Whitp Hnncp fV?n

ference on Handicapped Individuals.
The conference
proposed to assess problems and
potentials of handicapped people,
to generate national awareness,
and to make recommendations to
the President and Congress.
If the proposals are implemented,
they will enable
handicapped persons to live independently
with the greatest
degree of community participation.
Local forums and
formal state conferences are being
held in every state to discuss issues
involving the handicapped and to
select delegates to attend the
National Conference in May.
IT APPEARED TO be a success,"
said Bud Thurber, coordinator
of Special Programs
Development Center. "People I
talked to thought it was a very
useful working conference."
Thurber, who worked to create an
awareness of the conference at the
University said about 600 persons
attended."
Dave Lundgren, a conferencc
group leader, saia, it was ex
citing to see so many bondec
together for one cause. I think the
people who came will stick it oui
and bring the handicapped ex
perience to light."
The conference lasted from 9:3(1
a.m. to 5 p.m. with a program
consisting of two General Sessions,
two Workshop Sessions, and a
luncheon. Bernard Posner,
executive director of the
President's Committee on Em
ployment of the Handicapped, was
the featured speaker at the lun
cheon. He said that there are as
many handicapped people as there
are blacks, but they haven't beer
as successful in achieving theii

FOR THE WORKSHOP sessions,
participants were divided into 25
groups to study in depth the
problem areas in health, social,
economic, educational, and special
concerns and to recommend
solutions for them. Workbooks
contained summaries of
awareness papers prepared by
experts on each topic and lists of
suggested issues were provided.
The group members discussed the
issues, tormuiatea solutions and
ideas for implementation to be
taken to Washington.
In each topic discussed in the
workshop groups, almost every
group stressed the importance of
education and the influence of the
media for increasing public
awareness and aiding in attitude
changes toward the handicapped.
The workbook, in a section on
"Public Attitudes Toward Handicapped,"
stated that "despite
' positive attitudes expressed in
public, disabled persons are often
segregated and discriminated
against?especially those with
facial and bodily deformities or
uncoordination." However, the
article went on to say that "fifty
nor nont r?f tho timn in/iraqooH
pvi vviiv vi tuv viiiivf iiiV/i vaocu
information results in positive
attitude changes."
THIS INCREASED awareness is
i what the Conference hopes to
t accomplish by bringing together
; representatives from each state.
The delegation will be composed of
50 per cent handicapped, 25 per
- cent parents of handicapped, and
I 25 per cent others, to represent a
? cross section of the population,
t "The ones involved on a grassroots
- level will be the ones involved in
Washington, Thurber said. The 25
per cent "others" will provide
input from consumers,
1 organizations, and professional,
1 business, labor, and industrial
groups.
