Many campus bathrooms aren't large enough for a wheelchair to maneuver, and none of the campus pay phones are equipped with Teletype, according to the The Council of Students with Disabilities

And the council wants MSU students to understand the challenges they face on campus during Accessibility Awareness Week, which runs from today through Friday.

"It's a good way to get people to draw attention to the inaccessible areas on campus," said Melinda Haus, vice president of the council and organizer of the week.

Training sessions will be held on two days this week. A member of the Capital Area Center for Independent Living will explain how to determine the accessibility of a new building. Attendees will tour the new Biomedical and Physical Sciences Building and evaluate at 1 p.m. today in room 136 in the Chemistry Building.

There will be a lecture with the Michigan Protection & Advocacy Service Inc. at 7 p.m. Thursday in room 441 in the Union.

"The sessions are activist training tools," council president Kim Borowicz said.

Haus said she is excited about a disability question-and-answer period Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in the Iowa Room in the Union.

"There are so many questions people have that they're just afraid to ask," she said.

Students can find out what it's like to live with a disability on Simulation Day, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Wells Hall courtyard.
