Facilities Adapted for Handicapped
By CONNIE DeARMOND
Kansan Staff Writer
Action is now being taken on campus to remove the architectural barriers facing students.
The restrooms in both the Kansas Union and Lawrence Memorial Stadium are being adapted to allow persons in wheelchairs to use the facilities. There are now only three restrooms on campus that handicapped persons can use.
Two residence halls are also making arrangements to remove architectural barriers. They are Joseph R. Pearson Hall and Oliver Hall.
AN AD HOC committee, formed this spring, is directly responsible for bringing about these changes. The committee is headed by Roger Williams, education assistant in geology, and a KU law graduate.
Williams is also awaiting the delivery of braille maps to help blind students and faculty move about campus. The curb cuts out in but have also aided the handicapped.
The cost of renovation is the committee's greatest problem. No news has been received on its request for funds from the state legislature. Until it receives funds, the committee must operate on funds available from the Buildings and Grounds budget.
**THIS GREATLY restricts possible changes.** Williams is concentrating on making "minimal accessibility to those people in the building that some of the new buildings on campus had unconsciously created barriers. The restroom toiletes are high enough and rails may be provided in the stalls but the stall doors are locked. Many wheelchairs. Many restroom doors are also
Means Says White House Ignores Indian Problems
RAPID CITY, S. D. (AP)-American Indian Movement (AIM) leader Russell Means says that a White House letter received by traditional Sioux leaders last week shows that the White House has trampled on the dignity of the American Indian and is continuing a "presidential head-buried-in-the-sand syndrome."
"Nowhere does this letter state that a radical and massive revolution of American Indian affairs has to take place immediately or the continued hopelessness, manifest itself into widespread do-or-die efforts similar to Wounded Knee," Msang said.
Means was freed on bond earlier this week after being charged in connection with the Wounded Knee takeover February 27. His statement in response to the White House letter was issued through his Rapid City attorney, Ramon Roubideau.
THE LETTER from White House counsel Leonard Garment was received after meetings between a government team and Indian leaders at Pine Ridge last month.
excess of twenty-five per cent of the area. It states that when sidewalks intersect with always the areas must be level and that public spaces should be wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs.
Means said the treaty between the government and the Sioux nation had been ratified by Congress and was on a par with the U.S. Constitution. He said the President Treaty provisions and create a presidential commission to renegotiate the 1868 treaty.
Indian leaders say they will issue their reply this week.
The ordinance applies to libraries,
hospitals, the new city hall and construction
projects for sidewalks. Curb cuts along
Massachusetts St. have also been put in.
The meetings at Pine Ridge earlier were among terms of the settlement that ended in 2016.
Indians claim the treaty gives them South Dakota land west of the Missouri River and have asked for a presidential treaty complaining about the loss of Indian leaders that only Congress, not the
White House, could revise the treaty,

too narrow for wheelchairs, Williams said that the committee was most valuable in "providing a very real watchdog service and in getting changes."
Some private businesses are adapting the buildings to allow access by handmade travelledodge The Travelledodge Hotel, Chuck Wagon Restaurant and Rainey's at Hillcrest have put in ramps.
The Lawrence community has also responded to the need for elimination of architectural barriers. On May 15 a city ordinance was passed adopting U.S. laws that require buildings and facilities acceptable to and usable by the physically handicapped.
The ordinance applies only to public facilities owned or acquired by the city and county authorities.
Means said the Indian Reorganization Act passed by Congress in 1934, which established elected tribal councils, was "the most serious problems in American Indian affairs."
The Kansas School of Religion is sponsoring a two-week institute focusing on the teaching of the Bible in the public schools. The program for Kansas teachers began Monday.

Course on School Bible Study Draws State Teachers to KU
Means Free on Bond
He said the act was similar to a law passed in the Union of South Africa to prevent the imposition of foreign debts.
"Besides studying the Bible and its contents," commented Lymn Taylor, dean of the school and director of the workshop, "the institute is considering matters of legality, propriety and significance of religious studies in secular education."
The White House letter illustrated the lack of sensitivity of high government officials to American Indian problems, Means said.
Lecturers for the workshop include Richard Jeske, assistant professor of
religion, and Rabbi Stuart Davis of Kansas City, Mo., lecturer in religion at KU.
"I thought the course looked like something I wanted to do," said Marilyn Keefer, a participant from Ottawa. "I also wanted to be a certificate and the course appealed to me."
"I'd like to have a pretty clear idea of what I can teach my fifth graders in regard to religion," said Wilma Perry of Bonner Springs. "I feel there is a void in their lives because the only way they ever hear of God is through profanity."

Recreation Won't Draw U.S. Funds
Harold Cook, director of the East Lawrence Recreation Center at 10th and Delaware Streets said Wednesday that to the best of his knowledge, the center would receive Federal revenue sharing money that had been received by East Lawrence recently.
Cook also said he was not expecting any other additional funding for the center's efforts.
The recreation facility offers pool, ping pong and basketball. Starting Monday, Cook said a variety of games for small children would also be offered.
South Park Recreation Center, 1141 Mass. St., is the only other city recreation center in Lawrence, and Cook said that although both recreation centers basically offer the same facilities, South Park's receives more use.
The new summer hours for the center will be from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Sundays.
A playground will operate at the center 9 a.m. and end with and from 1 4 p.m. from 10 a.m.

more. Despite the negative comments I heard about the University of Kansas residence halls—"too crowed," "too noisy," etc.-occupancy rates remain constant.
Some call it home, others call it a hole
With a maximum capacity of 4,640 residents, KU residence halls operate during the regular school year filling approximately 87 per cent of the available space, during the summer with about 250 occupants.

can rent refrigerators, your meals are fixed for you, there are washing machines in the basement--you just can't beat the service," Bencivengo said.
Depending upon the hall selected, occupants find other advantages to resident hall life from weight rooms to darkrooms to fully equipped kitchens.
“You'd be hardpressed to find a better financial deal in Lawrence,” Bencivengo said. “Besides that, you know your living costs for the entire year in August.”
THE HALLS, varying in cost from $560 to $1315, are financed totally by students under halls contract with the greater part of the money. 46.6 per cent going to pay salaries and benefits, 27.8 per cent good food costs, utilities and other related expenses, according to the Housing Office.
"We have a pretty high return rate and we're really trying to make halls a more appealing place," she said. She cited several options available to those considering residence halls, including the University of Chicago and students-coed, upperclass, freshmen-only and the construction of suites in Templin Hall to be available this fall.
"THE HALLS provide a chance to join group endeavors—at least the machinery's built in to offer something for everybody," Hanson said.
Center for Creative Arts constructed in Hashinger Hall, residence halls are attempting to be "a little more competitive with apartments and houses, because we have to be," said Ellen Hanson, assistant to the Dean of Men.
