Four Lock Haven University students
presented the results of their handicapped
parking study at the third annual State
System of Higher Education's Undergraduate/Graduate Research Conference at Kutztown University.
Entitled "Reserved and Accessible Parking for • Persons with Disabling/
Handicapping Conditions," the study was
conducted by the 40 special education majors enrolled in Dr. Peter Matthew's Physical Handicapped course during the Fall
1990 semester.
The students monitored the 12 handicapped spaces on campus for five consecutive days and during selected evening
events.
The students determined that violators
accounted for 76 percent of all use, legal
compliers for 18 percent and legal violators for 5 percent.
Representing their classmates, John Jaquith, Barbara Page, Kathy LaLota and
Pam Reichard reported that handic^ped
spaces were used 25 percent of the time,
while controlled spaces were used 83 percent of the time.
The results of the study were used as a
basis for a University-wide awareness program and to formulate recommendations
fw parking on campus.

heard that one? You go out on your date
and discover the only thing you have in
common is you both have a complete set of
nostrils.
I think we've aU gone out on that blinddate from hell, courtesy of our friends who
are secure in their relationship. You know,
the type of date where you were better off
sitting at home watching "Zombie Island
Massacre" than you were going out. Like
the old saying goes, everybody has a bad
date some of the time, and some people
have bad dates all of the time.
The good news is that none of my smug
friends who are snug in their relationships
have bombarded me with advice about sex
in a relationship. I think that is because
men and women look on sex differently.
It's like a marriage counselor once said on a
taUc show. She pointed out that some
women use a promise of sex to get a commitment and some men use a promise of a
commitment to get sex.
