Campus Awareness Special Week Successful Bridges Between Educa- tion and Rehabilitation was the theme for this year ' s annual Handicap Aware- ness Week at UW-Stout which was spon- sored by the Vocational Rehabilitation Club and the Council for Exceptional Children. The ' hick off event on Mon- day was the Mad Hatters, an educational theater group who uses drama to bring across their message and foster posi- tive attitudes and behaviors towards people with special needs. Another activity included a wheel- chair basketball game with the Chip- pewa Wheelers against the Stout stu- dents and faculty on Tuesday. A presen- tation held on Wednesday, which dealt with one family ' s personal account of dealing with Down ' s Syndrome, pre- sented some of the issues that they face. A dance was held in the Great Hall on Thursday, with music by Electric Sound. There was also a raffle and the prize was a custom made racing wheelchair that was donated by the community to use in Saturday ' s Sprintin ' Spokes-5K Wheel- chair Marathon through Menomonie.
