Popular opinion Handicapped gaining more accessibility iy DEN I SWIFT staff writer Renovations will begin in November on the southwest :orridor of the Russell House to make it more accessible :o handicapped students, said Ed Bass, assistant vice Dresident of Facilities Planning. The passageway, which leads to Student Services, goes hrough the mechanical equipment room to the Carolina Vlall. To protect the equipment and the students, a fence will be installed to enclose the area. Other changes include substituting fluorescent lights for incandescent lights and repainting the corridor. Bass said the renovations should be completed by rhanksgiving and estimated the cost to be under $10,000. The improvements will also improve security in the corridor, Bass said. The passageway is currently restricted and must be unlocked for students to pass through. "We wanted access restricted because pranksters could :ome in and mess with the equipment," Bass said. "After the renovations, the door will be left unlocked since the equipment will be protected." The corridor renovation is just one small improvement in the larger accessibility problem of handicapped students at USC, one student said. Bob Brown, a second semester sophomore in the College of Business, said USC is still not as accesssible as it :ould be. "We're working on getting electric eye doors installed in more buildings," particularly Gambrell Hall and the Sloan arts building, Brown said. "All undergraduates use Gambrell a lot, and no one knows what it's like to sit outside in the cold rain and wait for someone to open the door," Brown said. As far as the arts building is concerned, Brown said he would like to see accommodations beyond that which is considered reasonable by law. Campus buildings should replicate the ideal accessibility of Petigru, with its large, slow elevators and electric doors, he said. In the early 1970s, government regulations came into effect requiring that all buildings be accessible to the handicapped, not just people in wheelchairs but anyone with any disability. USC's response to the legislation was to set up the President's Handicapped Advisory Committee, which makes institutions aware of inaccessible places. Since then, the committee has been meeting to discuss and alleviate such problems. "We are constantly thinking about how a person can get to, say, tne coliseum or to tootoau games, committee Chairman David Phillips said. The fruits of the committee's labor range from installing electric eye doors in Petigru and Russell House and providing buses for wheelchairs to installing and renovating handicapped restrooms and providing a map of the campus which shows anyone with a disability exactly how to get around barriers and find accesses. "We know you can't get to every floor, but we try to make all the programs at USC accessible," Bass said. Facilities Planning will undertake another project involving the Russell House. The project will involve creating a wheelchair-accessible path to the offices of the lower west wing. Currently, wheelchairs cannot get in, Bass said. A lengthy process delays the changes being made on the campus, he said. Small jobs, such as the path for the Russell House, don't require approval so Facilities Planning undertakes them. The biggest problem is funding, unless the job is small, but even the small things add up so jobs have to be considered on a priority basis, Bass said. "USC doesn't receive a lot for renovation and See ACCESS page 3 eful protest ree Palestine' oiaics iias uiauc uic i aicsiiuian Liberation Organization nee to Israeli oc- synonomous with terrorism, but, in o Palestinian in- fact, the PLO is an "umbrella tinian American organization" made up of many factions, some of which are nonviolent, founder and he said. :inian Center for While some factions of the PLO iolence in East engage in terrorist acts, other facd more than 75 tions advocate nonviolent reform, he ian Universalist said.
