Students concerned about the inaccessibility of most Harvard buildings to disabled students are organizing a group to deal with this problem.
These students are working with the Environmental Health and Safety Committee at Harvard to investigate the possibilities of improving campus facilities for blind, deaf and physically handicapped students.
Disabled students have only two per cent accessability to Harvard's facilities, Margaret Drickamer '77, organizer of the group, said yesterday.
"The administration has always had a sort of ad hoc attitude where they deal with each situation as it comes up. We are the first ones to try to establish a formal procedure for dealing with disability problems," she said.
One of their recommendations would make more classroom buildings and Houses accessable by eliminating stairs, narrow entryways, and heavy doors wherever possible.
Other plans Drickamer mentioned involve establishing a permanent office at Harvard to provide services for the handicapped and organizing a resource center for the blind.
