I write this letter to show my support for and complete agreement with the article "How Bates College disabled me" by Shawn Draper, which appeared in last week's Student. I find it downright shameful that Bates College has not done more to make buildings on this campus accessible. If it is a funding issue, I for one would be willing to give up frivolous extras which cost exorbitant amounts of money, such as fireworks on Back to Bates Weekend and Harvest Dinner. I urge the college to make these cuts or any others it deems necessary in order to make Bates College a place which is accessible to all.

Sincerely,

Jessica R. Brown '98
