of KFSR. "Todd is entiUed to a
from page 1
Todd Kimball is confined to a
wheelchair, a condition that he makes a
point of ignoring as he goes about his
daily life. However. certain
inconveniences do arise.
To get to the (KFSR) studio," said
Kimball, "you have to climb three stairs,
and to get to the office, you have to
climb about thirty steps."
Since climbing stairs is not possible
for him, he has had to find other ways to
reach the mike. The deejays lift me up to
the studio when I do my reports," he said.
"Il only lakes a minute, and I'm light. .
"As far as getting up to the office is
concerned, well, I can use adesk in one of
the classrooms down here, or the table in
the studio. I don't really need to go up lo
the office ail the time."
While Kimball's co-workers admire his
willingness to make the best of bis
situation, they don't feel be should have
to try to do so much on his own.
"Stale law says that (a disabled person)
should have access (to a state-owned
ramp.
Coleman' has waged a battle to get
Kimball access to tbe studio, but has run
inio trtistration.
"I've called the Disabled Students'
Office over and over about this," she said,
"and all I've gotten is the lurjaround.
The last station manager tried all last
year to get a ramp for him, and I've been"
trying for four months. All I've gotten
from them is frustration."
Kimball himself is willing to deal with
things as they are. "I feel that i have a job
to do," he said, "and that job is to put on
a sportscasL I could spend my time
arguing about my situation, but that's not
what I get paid to do.
"It would be nice if they could do
something about it for the next (disabled)
person who comes along, but it's no big
deal for me."
Coleman feels thai Kimball's
willingness to tough it out may be a cause
for the school's inaction.
"It's important to Todd not to be singled
out," she said. "He doesn't want to look as
if he needs special treatment to get by. But
that does not excuse (the school) from its
responsibilities. It's as if they figure since
he's not making noise about it, they don't
have to worry about it either.
"I can! believe that the head of the
Disabled Students' Office is in a
wheelchair, but totally ignores Todd's
(The head of tbe Disabled Students'
Office. Weldon Percy, agreed to an
interview with this reporter about the
matter, but canceled the appointment,
claiming illness, an hour before it was to
begin.)
"It makes me a nervous wreck, people
carrying Todd up the stairs," said Coleman.
"I've dropped him before myself, and he's
hit pretty hard. But he just laughs it off.
I'm afraid that hell get hurt someday, or
that one of the deejays will get hurt."
Kimball knows that others have gone to
bat for him, but wants to sec Ihe matter
put to rest _/ ..
"I appreciate everybody's support,'' be
said. "But it's no big deal lo me. If I
couldn't get by as things are now, then it
would be okay. But so far, nobody's
dropped me; nobody's gotten hurt."
