Post Oak Mall 696-7671 §§ Third S.A. woman files harrassment suit against Hooters The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO - A third San Antonio woman has filed a lawsuit al leging sexual harassment against the Hooters Restaurant chain. Deborah Hays seeks unspecified damages. In a state district court filing Mon day, Hays, 27, alleges that Hooters, among other things, imposed working conditions that treated women differ ently than men. She said Hooters allowed its male employees to work fully clothed, but required female employees to wear "sexually provocative clothing." Hays applied for and began work as a waitress at the chain's Rivercenter Mall location in March 1992. She and other officials could not be reached Wednesday night. In January, two other San Antonio residents Melissa Tomasini and Catherine Wood filed similar suits against the company, becoming two more in a series of plaintiffs who have sought legal redress in the last year. Empire State Building to accommodate disabled with plans for renovations The Associated Press NEW YORK — On a clear day from the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building, the disabled also will be able to see forever. The Justice Department said Thursday it had reached a settlement with the management of the art deco skyscraper for roof-to-curb renovations that will make it accessible to people in wheel chairs. Disabled in Action, a New York advocacy group, filed a complaint with the Justice Depart ment demanding the changes on Jan. 27, 1992, the day after the Americans with Disabilities Act went into effect. "When 1 was younger, we just assumed that things were the way they were, and all we could do was struggle on our own," said Frieda Zames, vice president of the group. "But when it came to things like accessibility, we finally realized that these are man-made situations that can be changed." On the 102nd floor observation deck, where windows could not be lowered, the building's owner will install periscopes for people in wheel chairs. The scopes are shaped like the Empire State Building with a handle in the shape of King Kong, the giant ape who climbed the building in the famous movie named after him. Currently, there are stairs from the elevator up to the 86th-floor indoor observation area, then more stairs down to the outdoor area and there strooms. When the renovation is completed, then will be a flat path outside, and ramps for there strooms. The renovations should be done by Novemh? said John Wodatch, chief of the public access set tion of the Justice Department's civil rights divi sion. Work on the 86th floor has begun, and the out door observation deck is temporarily closed« workers can carve new, lower winefows intht parapets for people in wheelchairs. Other renovations will include curb cuts ontl* Fifth Avenue sidewalks and an automatic dooril that entrance. Drinking fountains, elevator pare els, telephones and tourist ticket counters will b lowered, and Braille instructions will be installed. The work will cost $1.8 million and is pari of $40 million capital improvement project, saidJre Carella, a spokesman for the building's managal Helmsley-Spear. Cary LaCheen, an attorney with New Yoi, Lawyers for the Public Interest, which filed' 1 complaint on behalf of Disabled in Action,sal she was happy with the settlement. "But we're unhappy that it's taken solonganl that the Empire State Building didn't do there things on its own years ago," she said. Wodatch said it took a couple of years to read a settlement "because we were dealing with a his toric building and they had to get approvals front the Landmark Commission.” GREAT EVERYDAY VALUE!
