the government pro

one reason the Nazis

Access.
This six-letter word
can mean the difference
between being able to
fully participate in socie
ty or living in isolation
for the disabled person.
Much of our physical
environment was
originally built without
consideration of special
of disabled per-.
sons.
At Howard Universi
ty, construction has been
under way for months
now that will make the
university a barrier-free
environment for the
disabled.
Bright yellow “curb
cuts” have been built'in-
to the sidewalks in front-
of the administration
building and at other
strategic locations
throughout main campus
for persons in
wheelchairs. Modern
concrete ramps are
replacing temporary
ramps at the entrances to
12 buildings, including
a d,rn inistration,
Founders Library and
the medical, dental
schools.
“By December, all of
th% ramps will have rails
on them and doors to the
buildings will open
automaticany with the
press of a button,” says
Leon Daughtry,
associate coordinator of
the University’s Office
of Architectural and
Engineering Services.
Howard’s newest and
most modern facility, the
multi-purpose Blackburn
Center, was '^^signed
with the handicapped in
mind, Daughtry says.
Blackburn is equipped
with special restrooms
large enough to ac-
comadate persons in
wheelchairs, elevators
with low railings, and
telephone booths and
drinking fountains that
are low enough persons
in wheelchairs to use
with ease. Plans are be
ing made to add these
features to all Howard
buildings, according to
Daughtry.
Austin Lane, Dean for
special student services,
says his office does all it
can for disabled
students. “We provide
readers ^ for blind
students and interpreters
for those who are deaf.
If needed, we give them
extended time for com
pletion of their work and
for taking exams. And,
we would relocate a Class
if a handicapped person
could not get to the one
assigned,” Lane em-
.phasizes.
Howard has six disabl
ed students eirrolied-this
semester. Three are
blind. One has a severe
hearing restriction, and
two use wheelchairs.
Ms. Leslie Swift,.a stu
dent in the College of
Fine Arts, dropped out
‘of Howard 10 years ago
when she developed
multiple sclerosis. Swift,
who • uses a wheelchair
when away from home,
says she came back
because the campus is
more accessible now.
Graduate Student
John Scott, a disabled graduate student at Howard University in
Washington, departs the university’s administration building using one of the
ramps designed for^the handicapped.
