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.

Lawmakers
HARRISBURG (AP) A group of state
lawmakers met yesterday to talk about
homosexuals. 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

puses before coming to University Park had
already started work in their major, despite faulty
advising.
"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.

favors from citizens
Led by Rep. W. 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."

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.
