Handicapped needs met
Sun Theatres
By BETH DZIKOWSKI
Texas A&M University has be-
ome one of the “best equipped
ampuses for the handicapped” to
omply with the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, said R. M. Logan, head of
student financial aid.
The act states that no handicap-
ed individuals shall be excluded
om any program that receives fed-
ral funds.
The Texas Rehabilitation commit-
fee and a temporary University
Committee worked to make the
ampus accessible to the handicap-
fed, said O.R. Simpson, vice presi-
ent for student services.
The University has provided
lorm rooms adapted to the needs of
|he handicapped. For example,
corns are designed with wider
oors, and telephones are lowered
n the wall for students in wheel
hairs.

The University also provides
sloped curbs to sidewalks and ramps
to some buildings. Since all pro
grams must be accessible to hand
icapped students, Simpson said,
classes are scheduled in buildings
that can be reached by these indi
viduals.
The University holds an advanced
preregistration to find out which
courses handicapped students are
taking. This year’s preregistration is
scheduled for Thursday in Room
140 of the Memorial Student Cen
ter.
Simpson said problems arise in
adapting the older building on cam
pus because it is expensive and dif
ficult to build elevators in them.
The new buildings are designed
with ramps and elevators, he said.
Problems also arise in funding
such construction. Funds are ap
propriated from the physical plnat,
said Cynthia Irby, head of the ad
hoc committee. Since the Univer
sity is a state supported institution,
there are no special funds appropri
ated, she said. However, the Uni
versity can request legislation for
funding if the renovation project is
more than the school’s budget can
handle.
The Texas Rehabilitation Commit
tee along with student financial aid
helps handicapped students adapt to
the program.
The TRC branch on campus, lo
cated in the MSC, provides inter
preters for deaf students, attendant
care for paraplegics and tape rec
orders for those who can’t take
notes.

If you are being
commissioned
You may want to join
the Bank of A&M’s
World-Wide program.
When you go on active duty, your banking
requirements will change dramatically.
You’re going to move around the world.
Your need for credit and for cash will be
quite different from your classmates who
return to their hometown to work and live.
And the penalties for record keeping er
rors are more severe for military officers
than most (if not all) other professions.
The World-Wide Department of the Bank of A&M was conceived to meet the needs of A&M
officers on active duty. The department is staffed by Aggies with first hand experience of TDY,
overseas movement, car financing in a foreign city, check-cashing problems at a military
installation, allotments, telephone transfers, etc.
The World-Wide program includes all the features of the so-called “military banks direct
paycheck deposit, telephone loan service, write your own loan program, overseas car financ
ing, automatic transfers from checking to savings (and visa versa), credit cards, overdraft
protection . . . plus personal service by senior bank officers with career military experience
and Aggie know-how.
Visit the Bank of A&M today (or some day of convenience) before your commissioning date to
learn how the Bank of A&M’s World-Wide Department can be of service to you.
