Learning Disabilities by Jennifer M, Canfiekl Rewarch conducted by Lang* wood graduate Diane Majewski to determine current trendi in faculty perceptions about learning disabilities showed more positive attitudes towards students with learning disabilities and a willingness to provide classroom accommodations. Her diesis was entitled Lacultv Perception Altitude. Knowledge, and Accommodations lor .Students with l.earniu-j Disahihiies Diane Majewski and Dr. Patricia Whitfield sent a memo to faculty members to inform them of the thesis results. "Faculty had a positive attitude, but lacked general knowledge concerning learning disabilities." the memo states To understand the results, it is important to define what learning disabilities are and how a more complete understanding of (he definition could have changed the outcome According to a textbook definition supplied by Dr. Whitfield, the Specific Learning Disabilities Act of 1%') defines learning disabilities as ■Children widi special learning disabilities exhibit a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or using spoken or written languages. These may be manifested in disorders of listening, thinking, talking, reading, writing, spelling or arithmetic. They includeconditions Which have been referred lo as perceptual handicaps, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, developmental aphasia, etc." Dr, Whitlield provided some familiar examples of learning disabilities that professors might not be aware students have "Dyslexia is the inability to read, sometimes affecting writing; dysgraphia is the inability lo write, even with proper instruction: and dyscalculia is the inability to grasp math and aridimclic concepts. A person may have one or all of these examples." I here are two Important things to note about this definition First, this definition goes on to state teaming disabilities "do not include learn-
ing problems which are due primarily lo visual, hearing or motor handicaps, to mental retardation, emotional disturbance or locnviroiiincntai disadvantage." Second, it is important (o know that students with learning disabilities have "average lo above average intelligence." according to Dr Whitfield, and usually students are "not able to perform at their grade level due lo some inability dial has iKMhingtodo with their intelligence." To accomplish her research. Diane Majewski had Dr Whitlield send out l')4 questionnaires, to prevent any bias from Diane's former professors Ms. Majewski received this number from Institutional VI vanceinent. however not all ol the I'M "faculty" may have been actually leaching in die classrooms. She had 93 respond to the questionnaire. From her research, Ms. Majewski summarized in the memo, that "86*11 ol the faculty responding believed it was possible to leach students with learning disabilities el leclively" and "S4r/( of die respondents believed leaching students with learning disabilities could be very rewarding " I lowever, "only 289 knew when to provide assistance to students with learning disabilities and 4V, knew how lo oiler assistance" to these students, Ms. Majewski addresses, in her review of literature on the subject. the need lo properly assess the needs of Students. For example, studies show that the average reading level of community college students with teaming disabilities is at the 8tb grade level. Professors need this information "in order to modify the instruction when appropriate." "Most importantly," Ms Majewski writes, "whether the deficit be in reading, math or written expression, appropriate modifications are vital lo the success ol college students with learning disabilities faculty attitudes and knowledge can have an impact on students if the faculty are not informed about common academic deficits which plague college students with learning disabilities" Interestingly
enough. "M'/< of die respondents shared die belief dial all of us aie disabled lo some degree." The memo continues, "An overwhelming number of faculty responding were willing to provide classroom and examination accommodations." For example, "9341 of the faculty agreed lo provide an individual testing room lo reduce distractions. " And "W7, agreed lo allow students with learning disabilities lo tape record lectures and request a special sealing arrangement." However, in class Interpreters and alternate examination methods did not score percentages ,is favorably high llisoul-ol-classiKCouinuHlalioiis that faculty were hesitant about offering, I luce important result percentages "support the faculty's belief in maintaining academic standards," Ms Maiew ski's memo explained. First, "571 oi the faculty did not agree with providing course substitutions or waivers." Second, "only v.; oi the faculty responding believed posi secondary education standards should be different for students with learning disabilities" And third, "only 14'; of the respondents believed people with a learning disability should be exempt from some graduation requirements" Some ol the reasons foi ihis were expressed m the comment section ol the questionnaire. Some hesitations were due to the misconception thai le.lining disabled means lowci ID. lazy and unmotivated Again, u could be that the lack ol a clear definition may have affected the results ol Maiew ski's research. (herall. the results are lavorable towards professors being willing io help students with learning disahihnes Dr. Patricia Whitfield feels the most important dung students with learning disabilities need to know is that the Learning Center is here on campus to help If anyone has a learning disability, it is important io work with die Learning Center loi support Accommodations can he made and Students w ith learning disabilities can succeed.

This was home for some of Ihe unfortunate victims of the housing shortage.
Housing Shortage Creates Cramp in Co-Ed Lifestyle by Hope Nesinidi In recent years. I ongwood College has had more students enrolled than they could house on campus Ihis is in part due lo die Inghei number of returning students each year. More students return seeking advanced degrees and fewer students transfer or drop out The state keeps constant the number of students to be enrolled each year, but this standard fails lo account loi the higher numbei of returning students; thus creating a housing shortage According lo the Board of Visitors. I .ong wood is a residential campus. This means that all students ,u e required lo live on campus unless special Circumstances arise. This year 2407 students are housed 00 campus. Approximately ISOofthem are freshmen are in expanded housing. Expanded housing means thai three or four people share a room originally intended for two or three. If lliey are unable lo "unexpand" during the I II si semester, they are given a 2 VI discount on their room fee Expanded housing is not the only way the Housing Office deals wuh the shortage of space. Sometimes, ihe college must house students in area molds Often, students who turn paperwork in lale or arc laic lo enroll end up in such housing Tins year, ten male Students spent l">
days in a local motel until proper oncampus housing could be- found Space becomes available on-cain-
pusat students cither diop-oul. transfer out or move Off campus. Motel housing had not been utilized in two years. With such a shortage Of housing, one might ask why die college does not simply build a new residence hall. According to Richard Hurley. Vice President for Business Affairs, IDC college simply cannot afford it. Private donations and state allotted funds cannot he used for new construction. The slate feels that "users" shou Id pay the costs lor al I nonacademic buildings Such buildings are considered "student service buildings" and are paid for through "user charges". Those charges are included in Ihe Students' room and board fee. Most of that fee is used solely lo maintain die residence halls The money goes lo pay for the Residence Life Staff, loan debts on preexisting buildings and general upkeep What is left is put Into the "Building Construction and Repair Fund" which is used io renovate and repair already existing structures and lo build new residence halls. With such a small percentage of the money set aside for new construction, il could take years for the college lo save enough for a new residence hall However, according lo Hurley, die college has plans to renovate French, Tabb, and Ruffher in order lo create space lor more residential looms, ihe plan consists of two phases. Phase I will involve Ihe moving ol academic offices already in Tabb, French and South Kullner
in order to create 1(H) more beds. Phase II involves renovating East and Main Ruffher in order to create 75 more beds. This section will also have ah* conditioning. Construction is due lo begin in January of 1996 and is estimated to be completed by September 19%. As far as new construction by the college is concerned. Hurley said." Nothing new will be done for awhile." Longwood spent nearly 5 million dollars to build ARC, our newest residence hall and plans to spend 8 million lo build a new dining hall/student union. These iwo costly endeavors prevent die school from being able lo fund new residence hail construction. However, according lo Davis Ketlig. Director of I lousing, die col lege plans lo hire private contractors to build apartment complexes on land Longwood already owns or plans lo purchase. The contractors would then lease die W miplexcs back lo die college. Ihis space would be used lo house Graduate Students, married students, non-traditional students and some seniors. Ihe additional cost would be absorbed by the residents of those,complexes An RKC-lype individual would oversee die residents. Final plans and construction are estimated to begin widiin the next two years
For now, the Housing Office tries to handle die housing shortage as best they can Through planned
renovations and private developers, I lousing hopes to alleviate the problem within die next lew years
