The new bathroom will fulfill a 2003 re- quirement of the U.S. Department of Justice Americans with Disabilities J\ct and will provide more space than a typical bathroom stall for those who need it. "The real purpose is for us to comply with federal regulations," Boise State Vice President of Student Affairs Michael Laliberte said. According to Laliberte, the Idaho statehouse will be getting a similar bathroom built as well. Laliberte believes the bathroom will provide an alternative for parents who have young children, and anyone else who would like to use the bathroom somewhere other than the usual stalls. "Anybody can use it," Laliberte said. "It's not like we're going to have somebody regulating who uses it." The SUB expansion will reach into the . parking lot toward the Liberal Arts Building. The groundbreaking ceremony for the new constructton will be held Tuesday, May 8 at 12:15p.m. in the SUB. S· ,f/3". '" CO ! ' ..'.<, . I heard bik~s d,p~~di~r')6stop at red lights and stop signs, is that true? Mike . ~:i~ , , \~ \>w); ,.- "'-:';;:_c' ,. I Mike, The simple answer is that bicyclists are generally required to obey the rules of the road and cannot ride in an unsafe manner. However, Idaho state law indicates a bicyclist "shall slow down and, if required for safety, stop before entering the intersection." At red lights, the same law indicates bicyclists must stop, but they may proceed through the red light after yielding to all other traffic. The bottom line is'that we don't want bicyclists getting hit by cars, but. we also don't see a need to wait at a red light forever when there's no traffic around. More details about regulating bicycle stopping can be found in section 49-720 of the Idaho Code. Thanks for your question I hope this helps.

Every Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. there is a silent lunch hosted by the Hand Talk Club, a .', Student Organization of Boise State University, which is not exclusive to any particular group of people. The group meets to raise aware- ness of the deaf community in the Treasure Valley. At times, society tries to delineate groups of people by categorizing them. In reference to the deaf com- munity, those categories have been set as people of hearing, people with hearing impairments and people who are deaf. According to the book, "For Hearing People Only," by Matthew Moore and Linda Levitan, there are those who are culturally deaf ("big D") and those who are deaf ("little d"). Those who are deaf ("big D") have learned to embrace their deafness and use American Sign Language (ASL).Being deaf("big D") is an atti- tude, unlike the medical condition ("little d"). The silent lunch, held by the Hand Talk Club, is an important as- pect of communication for the-deaf Sherry Matthews united the group is thename "Sorenson," which re- community because sometimes it by re-organizing it to ensure that ev- fers to Sorenson Communications.
