That's What Southwest is For?

One of my pet peeves rearded it's ugly head again today. While passing the union desk on my way to class, I heard the BSU staff person behind the desk talking to someone about accessibility. She was telling the woman that BSU was not accessible, and that Southwest was built specifically with handicapped students in mind.

That may indeed be true, but I am sick of hearing people use SMSU as an excuse..."that's what Southwest is for" may have been a viable response in the 60s, but this is 2004 for goodness sake! All of our Universities should have a decent degree of handicapped accessibility. BSU has a long way to go, but we can't scare people away by telling them it's not accessible at all.
