Handicapped students overcom1ng obstacles by Diane Marland With one minute to spare be fore your 9 a.m. c lass is to begin. you pull onto the ca mpu s in search of a parking space. Ahh, there's one right next to the build ing . Hmm . it says "For Handicapped Onl y ." Oh well, it won't matter if I park he r e just for today. A slam of the car door. a quick s print to class and you are on tim e. But right be hind you, the nex t car hold s a s tud ent whose fac e r eveal s frus tration and disappointment. As long as your car is in that parking space, some students will no t be ab le to get out of their cars in time for a ny of their c lasses. This is just one of many p rob lems facing those who are confined to whee l-
c hairs. Usi ng the li brary or rest rooms, getting a drink of water from a fou ntain or placing a phone call are things most of us do automatically. Yet they are the very things keeping some otherwise qualified people off campus. Handicapped people will find attending college c lasses no longer an impossibility at Palomar due to an aggressive program of assistance tailored to their s pecial needs. Eugene Zevi n , director of the Office for the Physically Handicapped , is wagi ng a personalized campaign to help disabled s tudents receive the benefits of education. T hrough hi s organization, informal groups of students and staff members have form ed together to be-
come the Advisory Board for the Orthopedically Handicapped. An office for the physically handicapped is now open in E-19 to se rve prospective day and evening students. Recently . former Palomar student Joe Tuck loaned hi s extra wheelchair to college preside nt Frederick Huber and accompanied him on a tour of the campus. Dr. Huber found routes he norm ally travels on foot are filled with obstac les and detours for those who are without the use of their le gs. Following hi s tour Dr. Huber stated. "We a r e ready to make the college facilities avai lable and accessible to all students and we are active l y looking for suggestions f r om handicapped persons as
to how we can meet their special needs." The Office for the P hysically Handicapped assists in arranging c l asses, counseling students, pre - registration and giving individual treatment to prospec tive students with special problems, including those with heart conditions, paraplegics or anyone who is restricted in locomotion. A Handicapped Students Club is being formed in order to maintain communications between students and adminis trators. The basic theme of the c lub is that recognition of problems and solutions lies in getting together and doing what has to be done. Palomar has a unique advantage over most other colle ge campuses in that the
buildings are situated on low hills and that none of the buildings are two story structures. The number of ramps is in the process of increase as the handicap awareness is recognized. "The success of our program depends on how well it is used by prospective stud ents," said Zevin. "We are already looking ahead to what we see are the next logical steps-- making college education available to the blind and deaf residents of our districts. In fact , a dental assisti ng program for the deaf is planned for next fall." The Offic e for the Physically Handicapped is open between 10 a.m. and 3 p. m. Monday through Friday in E-19.

Archeologist examines remains of ancient human habitation by Gay Fall "Archeologists would be without a trad e if man didn't leave garbage," said Richard Leakey i n a lecture Monday night in the Palomar Dome . The anthropologist said he must make inferences about the life of fossil man from looking at the way of life of tribes who live near Lake Rudolf, in Kenya, tod ay. He sa id more than 90 perce nt of the way of life cannot be seen from artifacts found. Only things of stone and bone are left , and as illustrated by a wand e ring tribe of fis herman, temporary s he lters may be mad e and dismantle d , leaving behind no trace of habitation. The only evidence would be piles of stones sometimes used to keep posts upright in ground too hard for digging holes. -·-Leakey suspects, "Our ea rly ancestors may have had a much more complex lifestyle tha n we give the m credit for. We must think of this patte rn--large numb e rs of pe ople, diffe r e nt responsi bilities , interaction, leisure tim e and discuss ion time when looking a t evidence from one to two thousand years ago." Leakey is s till working in the Lake Rudolf area along with 25 other scientists from sever a l disciplines. Lake Rudolf became the focus of world attention in the 1960' s because of discove ries indicating that tool-making man existed much earlie r than was pre viously believed. More than 95 perc e nt of the fossil s have been found by Kenyans, according to Leakey. While not formally trained, they have gaine d their knowle dge through practical e xperie nce . Usi ng a film prep ared by the National Geographic Society to illus trate his r emarks about the area of Ke nya where most of hi s discoveries are being made .
Leakey admitted that som e recent finds are very confusing. Specifically, he discussed the skull, numbered 1805 , found last year. The skull looks to be Australopithecus, he said , but the teeth are definitely Homo sapien. This seeming impossibility is causing him to r evise earlier opinions about fossil m a n.
