Most recently, James Bibb, state budget director, authorized the cutting of improvement projects recommended by the board and included a complete remodeling of Marvin Hail
Williams said his committee recognized that Marvin and Lindley halls had extreme accessibility problems but didn't take committee action on them because both are members of the committee he said, the committee allows KU to take responsibility for inauring improvements.
AFTER THE remodeling requests were rejected by Bibh, the Regenta dropped the project.
The annual budget cuts, especially on high-priority projects, anger Williams. Last year's remodeling in Learned Hall made it difficult for engineers to say, but KU must continue to discourage prospective engineering students who are handicapped, because the engineering library, as well as the libraries for geology, biology and art, are in Marvin Hall, which is inaccessible.
"Now we'll just have to continue to tell people not to come to KU to become engineers, architects, geologists and geographers," Williams said. "It frustrates me because we are so near and so far to making the campus accessible."
Williams said that after current improvements were finished, Lindley and Hall had worked with major accessibility problems. Toura Hall, a building used by at least half of KU's

handcapped students, also has serious problems, Williams said, including a total of 15.
His articles on former President Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, secretary of state, have been published in Encyclopedia Heraica, he is now director of political and diplomatic affairs for the Israeli national broadcasting service.

LINDLEY HALL is an important project, planners say, because it could help handicapped students get from the lower levels of campus to the main campus buildings and give them access to the basement of Lindley and use an elevator to get to the ground floor. A new door made in what was a window area connects to a sloping sidewalk that leads to the boulevard. This door costs about $2,700 and by William's to get his Lindley Hall office.
Williams, who has used a wheelchair since 1968, said the work of the committee had had far-reaching effects on planning at KU. Wiechert is a member of the committee, as is John Myers, director of admissions.
"NOW THE University officers themselves are sensitive to our concerns," Williams said. "These people understand the subtleties of design."
The Kansas Union and Watkins Hospital were among the first buildings to be made accessible. Watkins has no barriers because of its location in a downtown area. The Union solved its problems by modifying restrooms, installing a ramp to Woodruff Auditorium and a wheelchair lift at Oread Bookstore, and lowering a pay telephone in the office that people in wheelchairs could use it.
BUILDINGS AND Grounds personnel have done curb cuts. Other modifications may be made in accordance with the plan.

Organizations affiliated with the University have responsibility for improvements in buildings under their control. The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation, for example, is responsible for Memorial Stadium and Allen Field House, which lacks accessible restrooms on its upper level.
KU's program to help the handicapped differs from the approaches of many colleges and universities. K-State is doing little planning for campus accessibility and is seeking no special funding for improvements, Cool said.

"In order for young native Americans and unborn native people to live, we have to fight for our rights today, in order for them to exist tomorrow," Kitchomie said.
There are some excellent universities in other states that are accessible, cool said. Some students are scribing the costs of sending handcrafted students to one of those schools, such as the University of North Carolina.
"ALL THESE things will have to be used on an older campus," he said. "It's much too expensive to accommodate the handicap improvements in all facilities."
"But I don't think this is probably necessary," he said. "Almost every class can use it."
The K-State approach is in contrast to the traditional concern about the handcapped at Emporia Kansas State College. In the late 1950s, Emporia State began, at the

urging of the Regents, to make itself the most accessible Kansas campus.
REGARDLESS of what approaches are taken by other colleges and universities, KU is attempting to improve its campus accessibility, Williams said. And if funding for improvement projects can be found, KU will benefit from the university's before federal regulations require it.
"we feel that we kind of pioneered in this area," he said. "We led the way in many cases because we felt that as an institution you would offer our training we should make it accessible."
Barnhart said Emperor State had difficulty at the time finding standards to meet new requirements.
William considers access the first step toward "full civil rights" for the bumbo-
town.
Today such standards are numerous. Those used at KU exceed standards for state buildings, a national standards in building the Uniform Building Code, Weichert said.
"You aren't going to get anywhere unless you can get in the door," he said. "You don't need it, and you're not doing anything with an ax in his hand. The barriers and steps. It is passive discrimination."
