Senate Handicapped students at Western received a boost of support from the student senate at its Monday afternoon meeting on November 5, 1979. The senate passed bill #823, a policy statement from SGA, urging "the WCU administration to continue and redouble its efforts to aid handicapped students by working to eliminate all architectural and program barriers to these students." The bill cited the recent Supreme Court decision on the Davis vs. Southeastern Community College case in which the Court stated, "that handicapped students have no legal right to attend universities if they cannot meet the physical qualifications." In referring to the Supreme Court decision, SGA Vice-President Richard Sullins called it, "in the least, a set-back"; Sullins further stated that SGA had been prompted to take action because of Chancellor Robinson's remarks in favor other high i court decision and because there was yet more to be i done by the administration of WCU for the handi- | capped student. A second senate resolution favoring the handicapped at WCU dealt specifically with the problem of handicapped parking spaces. The passage of the bill on Monday means that the traffic and security department will be strictly insuring that handicapped spaces are available exclusively to those students. Ticketing, it was noted, had done little to curb handicapped parking violations and that, henceforth, liberal use of the tow truck will be necessary. plllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll/IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJ FOOSBALL TOURNAMENT Nov. 74475 I UC Game Room 6-7 Opm $7.00 per participant In other senate action, the senate approved legislation which will require organizations paying their officers with SGA appropriated funds to submit a list of payments to a stipend evaluation committee (SEC).
