A&M attendants
for handicapped
find job rewarding
By Deborah L. West
Reporter
Being an attendant for the hand
icapped is a tough and time-con
suming job, but several Texas A&M
students say it’s rewarding.
“The attendants normally live
with a quadraplegic person, some
one who is paralyzed from the neck
down,” Dr. Charh
dinator of
es W. Powell, coor-
handicapped services,
says.
“Most student attendants do not
have any special medical training be- m
cause they simply do not need it,”
Powell says.
“They help the person get up in
the morning, eat lunch and go to
bed at night,” he says. “The atten
dant checks for poor circulation and
pressure sores.”
The attendance program is de
signed only to introduce the atten
dants and handicapped students, he
says.
“They interview each other to see
if they can live together,” he says.
“Our office doesn’t hire or fire any
one, we just advertise for atten
dants.”
Attendants say the job is an educa
tional and rewarding experience.
“The experience gained from this
job depends on who you take care
of,” Vincent Knodell, a senior fi
nance major, says. “Jason Boles has
been a good influence on me.
“I wanted to be an attendant and
he needed a roommate. We hit it off
immediately.”
Laurie Marshall, a junior educa
tion major, says her attendant, Julie
Vass, is a best friend.
“Julie and I have roomed together
since our freshman year,” Marshall
says. “It’s been fun. We have both
learned how to deal with new cir
cumstances.”
Powell says an attendant’s time is
not his own. They work a minimum
of 20 hours a week.
But Knodell says being an atten
dant doesn’t limit his activities.
“My social life wouldn’t fill up
pages, but it’s not because the job
takes too much time,” Knodell says.
“Attendants can lead any
“I have become a better
person because of the
things I learned from tak
ing care of Jason. I am
more tolerant and under
standing of other people. ”
— Vincent Knodell, an
A&M senior finance
major and attendant
Knodell says he did not become
an attendant without knowing any
thing about it. His cousin, an atten
dant at A&M, encouraged him to get
thejob.
“I needed money to pay for my
tuition, so I decided to be an atten
dant at a Muscular Dystrophy camp
to see if I liked the job,” he says. “It
was a good experience, so I decided
to try it at A&M.”
Powell says attendants get paid
$450 a month, even if the month is
shortened by vacations. Attendants
have to pay the dorm fees.
“The Texas Rehabilitation Com
mission pays room, board and tu
ition for most handicapped stu
dents,” Powell says. “The TRC pays
the attendants and Texas A&M
guarantees handicapped students
on-campus housing.”
Knodell says ipeing an attendant is
a service job. It takes patience, un
derstanding and good communica
tion skills.
“You really have to be a good lis
tener,” Knodell says.
“Attendants don’t see a person in
a wheelchair,” he says. “It’s amazing.
After working with a handicapped
person, the wheelchair disappears.
In their minds they only see the per
son.
“Some people let the chair get in
the way and they never see the per
son.
T have become a better person
because of the things I learned from
type of life faking care of Jason. I am more tol-
they want. They just can’t leave for erant and understanding of other
an extended period of time.” people.”
Residents move to escape
volatile underground gases
| VALUABLE COUPON
MONT BELVIEU (AP)-- Resi
dents of this small town <re slowly
moving away from the giant salt
dome where volatile liqvefied gases
are stored underground
Four of the Chamiers County
community’s five cHirches have
moved to a spot a fe^ miles east of
downtown Mont Behteu.
The area also is fie new home for
a post office, the West Chambers
County Courthoue Annex and sev
eral schools.
And on Dec 5. voters will be
asked to appro/e a bond issue that
would move the Mont Belvieu civic
center complex to the same area.
All but about 15 families have sold
their homes and moved off the Bar
bers Hill Salt Dome where 120 mil
lion barrels of liquefied gases are
stored underground.
For years, the town was rocked by
gas leaks, fires and explosions.
Propane, ethane, butane, propy
lene and other hydrocarbons are
stored in the underground caverns
hewn out of the dome, said to be the
largest such storage facility in the na
tion.
