classes are held in buildings that are
more accessible to the handicapped.
Work-study students are hired to
assist handicapped students in labs by
reading instruments and in other ways.
Adaptive physical education classes are
offered to handicapped students,
wherein abilities are estimated and
classes are arranged to meet those
abilities. Keys for elevators are given to
handicapped students and lavatories
have been equipped with grab bars and
special stalls. Special parking permits
are issued to handicapped students to
enable them to park in the lot closest to
their classroom building.
Problems still exist for handicapped
students, said Robert Carlson, president
of the Penn State Association for the
Handicapped, also named "ABLED"
Association for Barrier-Free Lives,
Environment & Design.
Carlson said ABLED was established
in 1977 and serves as a communications
center between students, faculty and
administration. The organization's
major task is making all sidewalks
available to handicapped students.

Stadium vendors: Giving
the customers a choice
By SUSAN EPSTEIN
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
A familiar scene: Saturday af
ternoon at a Penh State football
game. You feel a void that only a
hotdog and soda could fill. But there's
a problem who should you buy it
from? The frogman, the red baron
(more commonly known as Baron
von Coke) or the guy in the tux? It's
basically a matter of personal
preference.
Eacti of the above is a member of a
diverse and unique group the
stadium vendors.
"A good vendor is one who interacts
with people he's selling to," Bruce
Rush (10th-economics and general
science) said. "You should show
them you care."
Many vendors have a gimmick.
Rush, a third year coke man,
sometimes wears a T-shirt of the
opposing team. Students notice him
and he attracts more business that
way.
Most students say they become
vendors for two reasons fun and
money.
"I do it for both reasons," Craig
Brody (10th-marketing) said. "I
really enjoy it. You get to meet a lot of
people and also have a good time."
Besides having fun, the prosperous
vendor can make good money. They
are paid on commission, with income
ranging from $l4 to $4O per game..
Sen. Byrd's plea fails in attempt
to obtain agreement on gas bill .
WASHINGTON (UPI) Senate
Democratic leader Robert Byrd failed
Thursday in a bid to reach a gentlemen's
agreement barring a "lowblow" attack
against the bitterly disputed natural gas
bill.
. .
But Byrd warned foes of the legislation
not to take his abortive plea for a
carefully orchestrated natural gas
showdown- in the Senate as a sign of
weakness. '
Objections by Sens. James Abourezk,
D-5.13., and Clifford 'Hansen, It-Wyo.,
blocked Byrd's request for a• specific
showdown time and , a prohibition
against surprise motions to table the bill.
"It's not that I am afraid to call the bill
up," Byrd shouted, slapping a tally sheet
of supporters and opponents against his
thigh'.
He said backers of the measure could
turn town a tabling attempt if ready.for

This depends on how hard the person
works.
"More aggressive people tend to
make more money," Brody said.
All vendors are University
students. .
"At every game there are high
school students who want to work but
usually we don't let them. It's the
Penn State, students first," Vance
McCullough, an assistant professor,
said.
According to McCullough, the
students do a good job, and in general
he doesn't have any problems with
them.
But do the vendors ever have
problems with the students in the
stands?
"I had to stop a few fights and
reprimand a few students for
stealing," Rush said. But he said he
usually doesn't encounter any
problems.
In addition to the vending veterans,
there are many aspiring neophyte
food vendors.
"I just want to be out in the crowd,"
Rita Seybert (4th-liberal arts) said.
In the crowd is where they like to be
and that is where the spectators like
to have them. The vendors add flavor
to the games, and at times there are a
few who stand out. Many still
remember Dale Dockus, with his
famous "Heeeeeeey Hotdog!" Brody
described him as "a legend in his own
time." •
it, but a "surprise, low-blow motion"
might catch them with key voters out, of
town.
Abourezk said many of the bill's
supporters would leave town if Byrd's
proposal was accepted, leaving the
opposition without "a shot at them."
Byrd finally postponed bringing the
bill to the Senate floor.
The bitterly disputed legislation, which a
conference committee worked out from
widely differing House and Senate
versions, would phase out price controls
on newly froduced natural gas by 1985,
with a steeply increasing price scale
until then.
Byrd said Wednesday, he and op
ponents of the bill came near agreement
to have a vote next Wednesday on a
motion to send the bill back to the con

,But Thursday, when Byrd asked the
Senate for unanimous consent to set a
time, Abourezk objected.
Abourezk also objected to an
agreement that would bar a motion to
lay the bill aside a move Byrd termed
a' "sneak attack" because it is not
debatable and could come with few
senators present.
Byrd tried various ways for an
agreement, asking first that a vote be set
for 4 p.m. Wednesday' " ' ' ' '
