Accessibility to improve for

numbers of physically challenged
students) right now. If we were to
grow more in that area, we would
need to establish a better equipped
department to handle their needs,"
said Spates.
New buildings on campus
will be better equipped also.
According to John Ream, director
of operations, new buildings
must meet federal regulations for
accessibility.
"The new library/acadcmic
complex and the chemistry lab
complex will be equipped with
elevators to make them more
accessible," said Ream. "And

A graduate of Harvard Law
School, Slrosscn is a strong
advocate of involving young
people in the process of
protecting civil liberties, and has
left a wake of A.C.L.U. chapters
at colleges where she's spoken.
In the February 2, 1991
issue of The Economist,
Slrosscn said, "The solution is
more in better speech, not
censorship,” in regard to
university policies concerning
hate speech punishment.
"I think this is the most
important organization in the
country, if not the world," said
Strossen. "To say what we're
doing is controversial is to say
that the Bill of Rights is
controversial. I want to
emphasize the American in
American Civil Liberties Union."
Plans for
new lab
approved
Earlier this month the Penn
State Board of Trustees approved
the proposed sketch and
preliminary plans for a new S 8
million chemistry lab complex to
be built at Behrend.
The new lab, which will be
located next to the Hammcrmill
and Zurn buldings, is expected to
be finished by late summer of
1993. The complex will connect
with the Zurn and Hammcrmill
buildings at the lower level and
the Nick building at both the
upper and lower levels.
With 50,000 square Icet of
space available, the lab complex
will contain classrooms, lecture
facilities, offices, a tool and die
shop and, naturally, laboratories.

New residence halls should
be more accessible a§ well, with
many of them constructed with
wheelchair access mind.
"It’s unfortunate that many
of the buildings on campus were
constructed during a time when
not much thought was given to
accessibility," said Ream.
"Fortunately our new buildings
will have that accessibility.”
And in some ways Bchrcnd's
geographic location doesn't help
either.

academic buildings. Neither one
have elevators or ramps for
wheelchairs, but Ream said that's
not a practical consideration.
"It would be very, very
difficult to build an elevator or
ramp system at that part of
campus," he said. "Instead we
provide a van or special parking
to make coming and going a
little easier."
Spates said Behrend is trying
to get more funding for
improvements in order to make
accessibility better.
"I don't think Behrend is
lacking, but there's more we can
do and better ways to do them."

WASHINGTON President Bush proposed tax
breaks and business incentives Tuesday night
in his State of the Union address to revive
America's economy and promised, "We're
going to lift this nation out of hard times.*' His
new economic plan includes putting more
money in people's paychecks by lowering tax
withholding rates. President Bush even
received applause from Democrats when he
called for .a $4.4 billion extension of
unemployment benefits.
DETROIT - The nation’s Big Three auto
makers - Ford, GM and Chrysler -- are
expected to report $6,8 billion in losses from
last year, perhaps the biggest loss in the
American auto industry ever, according to
analysts. U.S. automakers areu't expected to
make money until June of this year, provided
the economy begins to recover. "If our
economic forecast is right, everybody should
be mostly in the black (starting in June of
1992)," said Joseph Phillippi, analyst for
Shearson Lehman Brothers.
WASHINGTON -- Rep. Louis Stokes, who
headed the House investigation into President
John F. Kennedy’s assassination, said Tuesday
that he will introduce a resolution to release
secret files on the case. Most of his
committee’s records were released in 1979,
while others were to be released in 2029.
Stokes said that the files will reveal nothing
about a government coverup. Public attention
has been drawn toward the files, according to
ollieials, due to Oliver Stone's latest movie
"JFK."
