Neither snow, rain, or cold weather stopped ISU students from having fun. Sunshine always made it seem better by laying out for a tan, playing sports or just taking a drive in the country air. Many students took advantage of warm weather to sit on the quad and relax. Others chose nearby parks and the river for an afternoon picnic. State Park Turkey Run provided a place for students to get away from the hustle and bustle of Terre Haute. Rent- ing bicycles, swimming, and suntan- ning flocked the park with peace and quiet accompanying it. O Quarterback Julie Knox, Mitchell junior, proves football isn't just for men. - Photo by J. R. Parker Fun breaks up the hard walks Road trips to Brown County brought multitudes of students to a beautiful countryside of multi-colored leaves in the autumn. Bicycling, a way of transportation for some but an enjoyment for others, led to students interest in Tandomonia. Week after week, bicycles were seen traveling cross country to build up en- durance and stamina. Thanks to warm weather, even after the race, the wheels kept rolling. Giggles, laughter and gossip filled the bookstore corner each warm day. One could always tell how warm it was by the number of loafers. One thing was for sure, the sunnier the weather, the brighter the campus. e Story by Sheila Hoffman M Bicycling to classes is just one way for students to save money and energy while having fun. Dogs, as well as students, enjoy a little sunshine and fresh air. - Photos by Rob Williams Quad 29

Benefits aid disabled students Jan Arnett, advisor of disabled students states the basic objective is to integrate disabled students into the mainstream of college life. Arnett believes in encouraging the students to do things themselves. She also talks to the students before registration about what Indiana State has to offer them. Last year about thirty physically disa- bled students used the services offered through Disabled Student Advisement. Arnett's function as an advisor not only includes working with the physically disabled but also with students that have other problems. For example, Arnett refers students with learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, to Special Services. . Disabled Student Advisement funds are provided by the University. Federal funds are used for Special Services. The university received supplemental ap- propriation from the government because of state legislature which stated that the campus was to be made more accessible to disabled coeds. This action was a result of section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act. These changes were made during the tenure of past advisor Roger Lehr. The university has two buildings which are completely inaccessible to the disabled; the Bookstore and Knisely Hall. Other academic buildings have ramps and elevators. The only excep- tion is Stalker Hall because it doesn't have an elevator. As for residence halls, Erickson, for women, and Cromwell, for men, are dorms that can accom- modate disabled students. Learning to cope with living situations while be- ing blind such as doing laundry is one service which Advisement provides.
