2- The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 29, 1993 OBSTACLES Continued from page 1 my car in red lipstick, 'U-M staff park- ing only.' Because of this incident, we aire getting together a letter to notify all staff that this policy is in effect." She continued, "Also, the spots are not wide enough. They're normal sized spots. If the space next to the driver's side of my car is empty when I pull in, then that's fine. The problem arises when another car pulls in next to mine before I come back. Since I have to openmy door all the way in order toget in and since the spaces are not wide enough to account for that, I'm stuck." Perhaps the biggest source of frus- tration that mobility-impaired students face is accessing buildings both on and off campus. Even the seemingly simple task of purchasing a coursepack can turn into an ordeal. "The coursepacks professors as- sign are another potential problem," Susan shared. "(Mobility-impaired stu- dents) will wheel all the way down to those buildings and find that there are stairs. And if you can locate an acces- sible door, it's inevitably locked be- cause the stores don't want students using the alternative entrances. Instruc- tors don't know that these places where you get the coursepacks aren't always accessible." Susan said she had one teacher who, when she told him she couldn't get into the building that sold his course's coursepack, asked her if she could get another student to buy it for her. "He didn't realize that that just wasn't the point. I shouldn't have to be dependent on anyone else to do simple things like buying my coursepack," she said. Still, Susan doesn't let the chal- lenge of these daily adventures wear her down. "It pushes me even harder. It makes me even more determined to make a We've got a law now, but the only way the law Is ever going to be enforced Is if we go at It. - Susan Purdy LSA junior difference. We've got a law now, but the only way the law is ever going to be enforced is if we go at it. We need more people to educate the public to make a difference." Kim Frania, an LSA junior, is eas- ily recognizable around campus by her deep laugh, her golden hair, her ever- present cigarette, and herplayful golden retriever puppy, Fenway. Kim, too, is a paraplegic. An avid basketball player and water-skier, Kim says she sometimes gets frustrated by the attitudes of other students. But she says Fenway, a trained dog who she acquired through Grand Rapids' Paws With a Cause, has helped. "He's really opened the door to communication because before people would never come and talk to me but now they come up all the time and talk about the dog," she says, smiling Watching the two interact, it is easy to see that Fenway is an impor- tant part of Kim's life. Whether whiz- zing through the Diag with Fenway doing the pulling or just staying in one place messing around, the two seem to appreciate one another's com- pany. When he's in his working mode, Kim says, "It's like having a 24-hour- a-day nurse. He pulls my chair, opens doors, picks things up if I drop them, turns light switches on and off and answers the phone - it has a special hook on it for him to grab. He'll help me get up if I have a seizure. He gets things out of the refrigerator and does transfers to and from my chair for me." But, she notes, he is also playful. And despite his tendency to shake out all of his fur in one monstrous body clamor every 20 minutes or so, he is a great companion. An aspiring veterinarian, Kim said her mobility impairment is hindering her potential graduate school aspira- tions. "Michigan State will not even ac- cept me because I'm in a chair. They prefer not to even talk to me right now ... so I'll go to Florida State and get the heck away from these cold Michi- gan winters!" she says, her laugh not hiding her frustration. She states, her voice trailing off, "I like for people like me to be treated as normal as everyone else. Sure, there are things that we cannot do, but on the whole ..." Be certain, Kim Frania is as normal as normal gets. -- FOR ALL MATH, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, AND ENGINEERING COURSES AT THE 100 AND 200 LEVELS CENTRAL CAMPUS * Modern Languages Building (MLB) Room 2008: Monday & Thursday 6-10 pm * Angell Hall (across from auditoriums, next to computing center): Wednesday 6-10 pm NORTH CAMPUS *North Campus Commons Lounge: Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday 6-10 pm NOVEMBER 1 - DECEMBER 2 A SERVICE OF TAU BETA PI ENGINEERING HONORS SOCIETY IiF4 " I Read Daily Sports Put the paper chase behind you...
