After the Nov.- 7 meeting. Austin was
optimistic that changes would foilow.
"Corcoran Is behind us 200 percent."
Austin said Dec. 1. Austin said Corco¬
ran told him to begin a task force to
handle some of the access issues. Corco¬
ran denied that he had made such a
siiggesUon to Austin.
"No task force was asked for.' said
Corcoran. "I do want to Jcnow about
specific Instances of problems, how¬
ever."
On Dec. 3 Austin relteratec that
Corcoran had made such a suggestion.
Austin said the task force will Include
about three or four students from the
club to represent their problems to the
administration.
At a Nov. 15 meeting Aldrlch pre¬
sented Austin with Information about
state codes that regulate the building of
elevators. She also informed Austin
about budget problems and the effect
budget cuts have on new building proj¬
ects and Improvements.
"We only have so much money to go
around." she said. Aldrlch said that the
elevators are fourth on a list of priori Ues
for changes to be made In accomo¬
dating disabled students.
Aldrlch said the two main priorities
on campus are already budgeted and
will be worked on shortly. Those priori¬
ties Include putting a ramp up to KFSR
the campus radio staUon. for a disabled
student who works there. It also In¬
cludes the color striping of stairs for
visually Impaired students.
Austin pointed out that Aldrlch had
Informed him of a code thai regulated
the "maximum and minimum* height of
elevator buttons. Upon studying the
graphs that Aldrlch provided him. Austin
found that the codes only regulate the
"maximum" height of the buttons. There
is no minimum height requirement.
Aldrlch reexamined the graphs
Monday and conceded that they only
designate a "maximum" height require¬
ment.
"[Austin's] right that's what It says,"
she said. Aldrlch said, however, that if
they were to move the elevator buttons
visually Impaired people would have a
hard time using the elevators.
"They expect things to be In a certain
place," she said." [Austin's] coming at It
from his handicap, but the codes are
written to deal with a range of handi¬
caps."
Aldrlch said that when funds be¬
come available they plan to Install a
lower panel of buttons to supplement
the panel that currently exists. "That
will hopefully make It accessible to
everyone." she said.
Weldon Percy, the coordinator of
Disabled Student Services, said state
budget monies have been allocated for
elevator Improvements, but that those
changes are allocated for the 1991 -92
fiscal year. He said the request went In
over a year ago.
Percy said. "I've tried to find out how
problems Impact the students and see If
there are alternatives." he 6aid. "I try to
see If there Is an alternative that can be
used successfully until the barriers
themselves can be removed. We try to
determine what the alternative Is. My
role is to find some way to accomodate
his problems." Percy said.
He said that since the start of the
semester several sidewalks have been
smoothed to make easier riding for the -'
wheelchair user. And. he said within a
year the elevators will be fronted on.
Austin has come up with what he
thinks is the ideal plan to get some
problems worked on without using state
budget monies. He proposes that de¬
partments such as Engineering, Indus¬
trial Technology and the like offer stu¬
dents credit for fixing some of the minor
problems on campus. These problems
Include repairing the sidewalks, plac¬
ing ramps on curbs near the library,
and painting curbs.
Percy, however, said he's tried this
Idea, but hasn't had success getting the
departments to commit to the projects.
"IVe never been able to get that kind of
commitment from them. Ifhe can. I'd be
glad to assist him.*
Austin pointed out that according to
the figures provided him by Aldrlch.
CSUF was allotted $3,780 for painting
curbs alone. Austin said that amount
could be saved If the school would allow
students to do the work for free — and
for class credit — and thus save the
money for othej-work that requires
outside contractors.
Glen Langs ton, a 26-year-old Indus¬
trial Technology major who has mul¬
tiple sclerosis, said he has encountered
some problems In trying to use either
his wheelchair or walker on campus,
but that on the whole. "I suppose it's
better than most places. It could be
better, could be worse."
Police Warning: CSUF Police have noticed a significant increase in parking
decal thefts this semester. Parking officers are being alerted to check the decal
number to see that it belongs to that vehicle or is possibly stolen. Some people
have become victims by purchasing decals from private persons and only later
learning they are stolen. This subjects the.driver displayig a stolen permit to a
higher fine for illegal parking,University sanctions and possible action by the DA's
Office for receiving stolen property.
