December it 1975-3 r o isa we d -stu • emits _ handicapped and disabled: "There are many people who don't view themselves as handicapped. 4,cs all in the perception. A disability is what is actually wrong with a person, what is malfunctioning. But what is a handicap for some may not be for others." Whether person views himself as hanlicapped or disabled, he is placed in a difficult position when choosing a career or just surviving at the univer sity, Roush said. And these problems are what she hopes to alleviate through her program. One aspect, assertiveness, - is an interpersonal skill that all should acquire, she explained. But to a disabled student, it is critical. "The handicapped or disabled person has to ask a lot of favors," the counselor said. "To survive, they all need lots of help. But no matter how much they need help, theyhate to ask for it: If a person is not assertive enough to get the information he needs, it could be a big problem." Their problems lie not only with the disabled students but in the insensitivity of those working with them. What happens if a professor decides to change a class from the first to the second floor of Chambers without checking if an elevator is available, or even without informing the student, Roush asked. Disabled students are often. counseled inadequately, she said, because they are allowed to pursue a career where their handicap could create a definite problem. Many of the physically hand icapped who attended the Commonwealth Cam- desk also will help them make reservations at these places.

They couldn't decide whether to bar gays from some-state jobs or ban them from the state payroll en-• tirely. "I think it's best not havin"em nowhere. Let's get rid of 'em," said Rep. Ralph Garzia, D-Delaware. "They make you feel uneasy." Garzia and the rest of the House Labor Relations Committee are considering a bill to prohibit homosexuals from working as state policemen, prison guards or at other jobs in state institutions. The committee appeared to reach a consensus that at least a few restrictions are needed to limit state employment of gays. _ A subcommittee was named to study the bill further and make a report early next year. - The controyersy was prompted by an executive order from Gov. Shapp earlier this year. Shapp ordered state agenCies not to deny anyone a job because of his or her sexual preferences. The'order sparked immediate criticism from State Police Commissioner James Barger and several lawmakers. They said they have nothing against homosexuals but don't want them in jobs where they might use their authority to get sexual wQwK. 1 STEVIE WONDER SUIsIDAY HEY WOW!'

"We won't stop them from their chosen work," she said. "We just want to make sure they've thought of all the alternatives and consequences." Other students may not have such crucial problems in their chosen field, but may still have questions about their disability and how it could affect their work. She cited the ,probletri of a girl with a back problem who hoped to be a research technician until she realized the problems involved in bending over a microscope all day. Roush said .she spoke with her and helped her find a com parable field using the same skills. The placement office's goal is to "help students Fuld direction in life, set a goal and move towards it," she said. And finding the correct career affects all parts of a person'S life sdcial as well as academic. She aims to help students get any in formation that will move the student closer to his career goal. Roush has high goals for her group "to aid students in identifying, anticipating and coping with problems, concerns and barriers at PSU" but she feels the handicapped student also needs a place to go to discuss his unique problems.

William Wilt, R-Blair, the House and Senate agreed quickly to a ban on homosexuals holding certain state jobs. Shapp vetoed it in October, calling it "the worst written bill I've ever received." PRESENTS 449 Ppoiv cw.-,,e a 706- c- 11 AM TO 7 AM Several committee members made fun of or derided homosexuals. Committee chairman Joseph Valicenti, 13-Allegheny, called the pending bill "a simeetheak." Rep. Miirvin Miller, R-Lane'aster, joked that the bill needs a new definition for homoseicual. "One who likes his vice versa," Miller suggested. The bill now defines homosexual as "one who is inclined to or who practices or engages in sexual activity with a member of one's own sex." Rep. Peter Perry, D-Philadelphia, wondered if that was too - broad. "If you just think about it, you're inclined," Perry said. "It covers the covert type, who's un dergrounef,"• said Rep. Peter Vroon, R- Chest er. "We've got some in the House." Vroon later told a reporter that .he wouldn't identify homosexual legislators because he didn't know for sure they are gay. "I've just heard rumors," Vroon said. 10 PM TO MIDNIGHT 21 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 al donation $l.OO 237-2408
