"There is no kind of access to
Bonfire," Klouda said.
"It would be nice to be close
enough to actually see it. I'm not
talking so close I'd singe my eye
brows or could roast marshmal
lows, but close enough to feel
like I'm actually participating in
Bonfire."
Andrea Nixon, president of
Networks and a committee
member, said they are working
with the Bonfire coordinators
and drafting two proposals to in
crease accessibility to the Bonfire
site.
"One thing they could do is
Build a stage high enough so the
students could see it," Nixon

"Another thing they could do
isbuild a walkway to a raised
platform near the site. I think
of these options are feasible
Because they could be disassem-
and would be a one-time
cost."
One issue the committee has
already dealt with is Midnight
fell practice.
Under old policies, students
in wheelchairs were allowed on
the track with their guests but
Because of the fights that oc
curred last year, students were
jrestricted to bringing only one
1 guest in order to keep the num
ber of students on the track to a
minimum.
Nixon said this policy kept
students in wheelchairs from be
ing with their friends and family
until a compromise was reached
with the University, allowing
people in wheelchairs to take
three guests with them onto the
track.
"We want to be with our
friends just like everyone else,"
Nixon said.
"Imagine being separated
from your friends and possibly
four family. From a disabled
person's perspective, it makes it
difficult and almost as though
we're not invited."
Klouda and Nixon said the
committee will also look at the
iccessibility pf evente held in G.
Rollie White Coliseum such as
Muster, athletic events, concerts
d graduation.
Klouda said the coliseum is
neither accessible nor safe.
"At athletic events, we're seat-
at the bottom of the sections,"
Mouda said.
"It ends up being very incon-
renient for everyone because
we're blocking the aisles and
people are tripping over us.
Also, the ramps are very danger
ous."
Klouda said that at last year's
Muster, students in wheelchairs
were offended because they
were forced to sit on a stage off
ilothe side.
"Our whole purpose is to
blend in," Klouda said. "At
Muster, we were isolated from
everyone else."
Nixon said the group hopes to
work with the Muster Commit
tee in the future to come up with
a viable solution to the problem.
Klouda said he is particularly
concerned with a lack of knowl
edge among incoming students
as to where accessible entrances
to buildings on campus are locat
ed.
"Many students don't know
where to go to get in and out of
buildings," Klouda said.
"As a junior or senior, you
learn by trial and error, but an
incoming freshmen or visitor has
no idea how to get in and ends
up circling the building for
hours.
"For example, in Reed Mc
Donald you have to go around to
the back, down a ramp, through
a door, and to an elevator if you
want to go to the first or second
floors," he said.
"Not too many people know
that offhand. A map listing ac
cessible entrances would be a
great help."
Klouda and Nixon said the
University has been responsive
to the needs of students with dis
abilities but cited "red tape" and
a lack of communication be
tween the two groups as obsta
cles to overcome.
But, Klouda said the organiza
tions will continue to work to
help people with disabilities un
til they've accomplished their
objectives.
"We realize the things we're
asking for probably won't be im
plemented until after we're long
gone from the University," he
said.
"But, we're driven to help
others because this is something
we feel very strongly about, it's
something very close to the
heart. We just want to make this
University a better place for fu
ture Aggies with disabilities."

such a thing would happen," he
said.
Koldus said A&M has been a
major part of his life and will al
ways hold a special place in his
heart.
"The fondest part of working at
A&M has been my relationship
with the students that I've had the
pleasure of meeting," he said.
Brian Walker, student body
president, said students will miss
Koldus and will remember the
great sacrifices he has made to the
student body.
"I can't put into words what Dr.
Koldus has done for this universi
ty," Walker said. "That building is
the least we could give to Dr.
Koldus for all of the many contri
butions he has given us."
Dr. William Mobley, chancellor
of the Texas A&M University Sys
tem, said dedicating the building
after Koldus was a humble way of
thanking him for his unforgotten
contributions to the University.
"Right in the heart of the institu
tion and right along the side of the
Rudder name will be the Koldus
name signifying the great impact
the Kolciuses have had on literally
tens and thousands of students and
former students of this university,"
he said.
