Obtaining I degree is definitely a major step in s1aning your carctr, but how far will a degtcc take you without capeticnce in the field? Cooperative education and internships provide an answer 10 that problem. Thomas Whaylen, Oirec1or of CllrtCr and Testing Services, said students who partkipatc in these programs do very well in the job market "because they arc mort compet.ilivc." Whaylcn also noted that listing an internship or co-op in yoor resume is \'Cry impressive 10 emplO)'eB. According to MPlanning Job Choices: 1999 Four Year College

Oirtelor oC Disabled Student Services Debra Higginbotham said the biggest complaint her ofrKe geu from di,abled scudcnu is there arc not enough automatic doors on campus buildings or the rcgul:it doors art too heavy. She said the only buildina on campus with automatic doors is the Clad: Student Center, though the Hardin building is about 10 be equipped with some. Hi11inbotham said her office is striving lo improve handicapped
accessibility on campus and is · focusing on 1e1ting all the buildings equipped with automatic doors. " We meet the minimum requirements," ht said "bot I think we should go beyond that." Government Student Association President Gant Grimes :also said the campus has a lot of room for improvement with handicap ramps and aulom~tic doon.
Grimes said lhis need was broughl to his attention when a handicapped student convinced him 10 try 10 use a wheelchair to travel around campus a few times. He said he discovered there is a seYere problem wilh drainage on the r~mp~ af1cr rainy weather and lhe ur«ts arc uneven and difficuh to cron in some places. Grimes said he presented some: of his findings to the Board of Regenl.5. bu1 the SGA has 10 pre· sent a bill for improvements 10 be made. He said the board seemed very rttcplive to any suggestions the SGA had on the issue.
