all buildings or facilities designed, built, or altered with
certain Federal funds to be reconstructed so that people with
disabilities can access them. (more)

People with disabilities can join a new club. "The purpose
of the group is to provide help in all areas for the disabled
while in college," said Kathyrn Brown, founder of the club.
This includes free tutoring, help with learning their way around
the campus until the student feels comfortable, as well as having
a person that can sign the classes so that a parent or guardian
does not have to be right by the student's side. (more) |

leather jackets, greased up hair to sock hops, dances
Trends and fads come and go. What's hot and what's not changes
