We are all to have "a special sensitivity in consideration for others and in respect for Ihe God- given worth and dignity of each individual" (page 38). I wonder how a person can have dignity in a place where the facility itself makes it impossible. I can assure you, dignity the Editor isn't found in being carried up stairs. It is not found in being an obstacle or an inconvenience. Instead, dignity is knowing and feeling valuable and worthy by participating in the same quality of life that we all expect. Dignity is enjoying a football game, or A desire for dignity anything else desired, without being a burden.

It was refreshing to work at making it fun. See, I came with somebody in a wheelchair. We drove over from to hear Bruce Kunkel admit up front that Bethel does have a parking problem and that it seminary housing, asking directions on the way to a place we could park. We were told is a continuing problem. At least he didn' t find a loophole to jump through as Tim Knutson there was space for us behind the stands, but when we got there, we found a muddy lot did. Knutson's comment about people not being ticketed for parking on the grass and off already full of cars. From the back of the area I pushed him through puddles and over grass the end of roads when they have no where else to park did not appear to be truthful. I can so we could enter at the rear gate. We looked around for a place to sit and realized if that say this confidently because I was one who got a ticket! I was parked in a dirt area in front we wanted to see anything at all we would have to battle the stairs. My husband, who of a legally parked car. I was not in front of a fire hydrant or in a fire zone, yet I still got thankfully had come along with us that day, had to carry the 25-year-old man up the stairs a ticket. while I lifted the chair. Unfortunately, once he was back in his wheelchair and able to To add insult to injury, the person who issued the ticket wrote that there were 45 spots watch the game, there was only an inch or two of space left in the walkway, making him available. That is also untrue. If there had been ANY spots available, I would have used an obstacle to anyone who wanted to pass by. Because there were no wheelchair one. I am sure everyone else looking for a parking space would have parked in a space if accessible bathrooms, we left the field before the game was even over. I tried my very it were available too. When I went to dispute the ticket the only thing he said was that if best to make the most of the situation, but knowing it took three people to make it possible it was my first it would be changed to a warning. Well, that is nice, bul what about the next for one person to simply enjoy the game brought anger and frustration rather than time there is no place to park?

Why should the students have to waste their time in filling out petition forms Teaching community integration to people with developmental disabilities is what I for a ticket that should not have been issued in the first place?

Granted there is limited when they aren't able to participate in the activities you and I take for granted. It hurts parking. We all understand that and according to Bruce Kunkel it is an issue every year. my heart to think that these people are shown everyday how much they are overlooked So why does the Security office waste time, money, and material in giving people tickets? through the inaccessible facilities that surround them. It's sad to me that Bethel is a part This is a waste of our tuition dollars. Doesn't the security office have anything better to of that. do with their time than create work where there is none? With regard to people with disabilities, Bethel claims to be "committed to creating an Regarding the "reasonableness" of the parking here at Bethel according to Tim environment better suited to serving the needs of ihe community as a whole" (page 34 of Knutson, WE, AS STUDENTS, ARE NOT AT THE U OF M, WE ARE AT BETHEL!!!! the student handbook). After Saturday, I find that very hard to believe. I appreciate the This is elementary, and I think a lot of students are tired of hearing about what's is installation of the papercups near thedrinking fountain and the appropriate height of some happening at the U. The parking problems of the U of M do not have anything to do with Bethel. The students at Bethel have come here because it is a PRIVATE institution.
