Hire the Handicapped - Jtc
James Day, Vocational Rehabilation Counselor here at
Capitol describes the meaning behind his view of the word
handicapped. A handicap is a disability that would hinder
employment. Through the Bureau of Vocational Rehabil
itation, a state agency in the Dept. of Labor and Industry, a
myraid of services are offered to handicapped persons.
These services include:employment opportunities, job
training and other supportive services to aid the handi
capped. Through testing, a person's ability and desire to
work are measured. When a person qualifies for aid from
The Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, it may come in
the form of tuition, books, and food allowances as is the
case of the forty people currently seen by Mr. Day here at
Capitol Campus.
The caseload of forty persons is counseled by Mr. Day in
such matters as selecting courses for best employment
opportunities as well as helping to meet the needs of their
specific handicap.
A handicap can be as severe as diabetes or as minor as
the need for corrective dentistry. Any questions on
eligibility can be easily answered by Mr. Day who is on
Campus each Thursday from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. in
the Counseling Center.
Appointments can be made with the secretary there to
schedule a visit with Mr. Day to determine if you are
eligible for assistance under this program.

A professional_ belly
dancer, Mytza Maldonado,
who was trained at the
Serena Belly Dance Studios
in New York City, will pro

New York City.
Ms. McLeod explained
that three auctions .will be

A television monitor, a
video tape recorder play
back unit and a tape
cassette were stolen from a
third floor classroom in the
Main Building on Monday
night Feb.3rd. Value of
these items was estimated
at $1,625.
According to Officer
James Paul, Chief of Se
curity, the classroom was
secured at 9 p.m. that
evening. When the room
was checked at 8 a.m. by
instructional services
personnel, the equipment
was discovered missing.
All that remained was the
table on which the equip
ment had rested.
No clues were immedi
ately available concerning
the theft, however, Campus
Security is working on the
case.
This has been the only
recent theft of considerable
value here at the University.
Mr. Paul stressed this in
cident "as an indirect as
sessment on each and
every student."
Although major theft
such as this is relatively
unknown here at Capitol,
Officer Paul mentioned that
it was indicative of a larger
nation-wide problem.
To combat further such
incidents, Mr. Paul empha
sized that "security be
comes an individual con
cern." He suggested that if
a student sees an unfamil
iar person in the building
late at night he/she should
notif securit immediately
