they can help hold down construction costs relating to
modifications for the handicapped, but that is not their
major'function.
The task force is also limited because recommendations
for funds are not within their jurisdiction but are handled
by another governmental department, the State Fire
Marshal's office.
Chuck Zimmerman, a plans examiner for the State Fire
Marshal's office, said his office sends recommendations to
the LB309 Task Force, but does not deal with any
monetary details.
Prior to September 1977, the State Building Division
made the recommendations, but the change was made be
cause the State Fire Marshal has deputies across the state
who have access to all buildings.
When making recommendations for buildings at UNL,
Zimmerman said they consider the list of priorities
established by ohysical plant, making sure those plans
comply with state regulations. He also consults Munn and
considers his suggestions, he said.
If there is dissent about the suggestions, people may
appeal the decisions through the Public Safety Advisory
Committee.
The $161,000 allocated by the state will be divided
among nine buildings on campus. Morrill and Avery Halls
and the Former Law and Administration buildings were
among the top 10 on the original priority list and the
approved funding list.
Successful
The task force was successful in cutting down the costs
of modification. For example, the request for the Ad
ministration Building was $14,410 and the task force cut
that to $1 1 ,150 by planning to modify two bathrooms in
stead of four.
The costs of even the most basic changes explain why
Munn refers to the $161 ,000 as important but "a drop in
the bucket." Curb cuts, for example, cost $275 apiece and
a door opener averages about $3,300. An elevator, in
stalled in the College of Business Administration, can cost
up to $82,500.
limited funds are also the reason there are no plans to
increase the staff working with handicapped students,
Munn said.
Lack of guidelines also present problems when working
with the handicapped.
Charles Samuels, Affirmative Action officer at Iowa
State, said some people say 85 percent accessibility for
buildings on campus is considered adequate, but others
say percentages are not important and building modi
fication is to be a last resort.
'The prdblem is that nobody knows what is enough,"
Samuels said.
Jane Rowlett, coordinator for students with physical
limitations at Kansas State, described the lack of guide
lines as a "problem across the nation."
Common sense, good judgment and creativity are the
current standards used to determine how much modi
fication is enough, she said. Some people, however, use
the lack of guidelines as a "good way to have a nice cop
out," she added.
The people affected by these deficiencies of money
and guidelines, the handicapped, have mixed reactions
TEACHERS
JT
Ask a Peace Corps volunteer why she teaches
deaf education in Thailand...ask another volunteer
why he works as a teacher trainer in Kenya.
They'll probably say they want to help people,
want to use their skills, travel, learn a new language
and experience another culture. Ask them:

about the programs and facilities at UNL
Impossible
Munn explained that it is impossibfe to know how
many disabled students are enrolled because privacy laws
prohibit universities from asking for that information on
admission forms.
Susie Dahl, a graduate student in rehabilitation and
family counseling, said she thinks UNL officials are doing
as much as they can, considering the restraints they work
under.
Dahl, who has been disabled since birth, said she was
aware that money was one of the major problems. Her
dream is to have enough money to pay for a disabled stu
dent coordinator.
'Our hope is to get funding, even for a half-time per
son " she said. "But it takes money.
Part of her solution is increased awareness of the dis
abled student.
"The only way to get things done is for more and more
people to become aware of the problems," she said.
Kevin Underwood, 20, a sophomore in the College of
Business Administration, said he has been satisfied with
the programs and facilities at UNL
Underwood, who has been in a wheelchair since a
trampoline accident six years ago, said if problems do
arise, he contacts the Affirmative Action office and they
are usually able to help him.
Pat Bean, 23 who attended UNL during the fall of
1979 and is now attending Southeast Community College,
is not so optimistic about the situation of the handi
capped. He claimed that provisions for disabled students are
made solely to comply with federal law.
"If they had a choice, they probably wouldnt want to
do anything," he said.
Bean, who has been in a wheelchair since a car accident
two years ago, said the frustrations he encountered at
UNL were part of the reason he chose not to return.
The disabled students might be divided in their re
sponses, but all acknowledge the feeling of being an after
thought. The current situation is described as "adequate," but
the questions remain. How long can the University of Ne
braska maintain adequate programming by tacking the
provisions for disabled students to other lists of responsi
bilities? And how long will the handicapped be content
with their status as an afterthought?
Stereo supplies taken
from UNL fraternity
Stereo equipment valued at more than $1,000 was
stolen between 12:30 and 11 ajn. Sunday at Phi Kappa
Psi fraternity, 1548 S St., Lincoln police said.
The thief entered by climbing the fire escape and
crawling through unlocked windows, according to Thomas
Bogard, whose room was one of three broken into.
An amplifier, cassette player, equalizer and turntable
were taken from his room, Bogard said. About 65 tapes
and a cassette deck were stolen from the other two rooms,
he said.
Bogard said only about four fraternity members were
in the house at the time. The rest were attending a formal
dance, he said.
Bogard said no one clearly saw the thief, and police
said they have no suspects in the case.
