GCjjurtfbap, September 16, 1993
tinfje Maiip Collegian
ADA, from pg. 3
The majority— the
non disabled voters
on the Task Force
have demonstrated
repeatedly that they
are well meaning but
clueless to the needs
ofthe disabled stu¬
dents.
2: Wheelchair
users use the eleva¬
tors at their peril.
Your policy for
maintenance is
abominable.
Your history of
non-response to this
problem is worse.
3: No TDD phones
or enhanced phones
exist for the hearing
impaired students
and members of the
general public who
attend function on
campus.
4: You have al¬
lowed your ADA Task
Force to use parlia¬
mentary procedure to
stack the agenda and
additionally issue the
"gag" order to sup¬
press the free flow of
ideas.
Finally, President
Welty, if you repeat
the practice of hold¬
ing a forum to dis¬
cuss student con¬
cerns, be sensitive
enough to provide
"reasonable accom¬
modations."' i.e.. hold
it in a place where
wheelchair users can
get to it, where stu¬
dents with various
other disabilities
don*t have to negoti¬
ate 4 flights of stairs,
and where sound or
signers are available.

Dear Students.
1 feel that the true
story of the events
during the ASI meet¬
ing on Thursday,
Sept. 9, 1993 should
finally be told.

Children's center
(CCC) I spoke on my
behalf on why I felt
that I should be
appointed to serve on
this committee. After
speaking I asked the
senate if there was
any questions. They
had none.. When the
vote was taken it was
with quorum and the
vote failed 4 yes. 8
no, and one absten¬
tion.
After asking the
senate why they felt
that 1 should not
receive the appoint¬
ment, not one sena¬
tor responded.
Have I not done
enough for the stu¬
dents with children
on this campus.
What more should I
do to become quali¬
fied to serve on a
committee.
During my first
year here 1 was ap¬
pointed to chair an
Ad-hoc committee to
look into expanding
the CCC. During this
time 1 submitted a
proposal for
$150,000 to expand
the center to help
meet the needs of the
200+ on the waiting
list. It was granted. I
also served on the
Academic Advisory
committee of the ASI.
That money is now
being invested into
the new School of
Education building
and will serve an
additional 125 chil¬
dren.
The second year I
founded and served
as president of the
Single Parent Student
Assoc, and I am also
a founding board
member of the
Woman's Resource
Center.
This past summer
I worked on getting
drop in hours at the
CCC and also worked
with Stacey Green
and others to estab¬
lish a childrens Edu¬
cational Center in the
library to serve those
with and without
children. I'm also
currently working on
establishing a state¬
wide council of the
CSU system called
Todays Advocates for
Students with Chil¬
dren (TASC).
After mentioning
these few accom¬
plishments, I had to
ask, "have I not done
enough for this cam¬
pus, is there some¬
thing more I should
have done?"
I was furious and
did use profanity.
Under Freedom of
Speech I believe I had
the right. But the
issue was not my
language. But what
should and does
benefit the students
on this campus.
The reality sena¬
tors are not con¬
cerned with the stu¬
dent population as
much as they are
with voting party
politics.
They never asked
me about my involve¬
ment, class load or
intentions towards
the CCC, they only
saw me as Stacey
Green's nomination.
During a vote to
re-consider my ap¬
pointment a few
cowardly senators got
up and left the ses¬
sion instead of deal¬
ing with the issues at
hand. Those that
stayed however voted
7 yes. 1 no, 1 ab¬
stained. The vote was
then back in motion
to appoint me to the
CCC Advisory Board
Committee this time
it passed with quo¬
rum. 7 yes, 2 ab¬
stained. This infor¬
mation comes directly
from the minutes of
the meeting and are
available in the ASI
office.
