Not every handicapped person uses motorized assistance. I walk with a cane, and do not attend events where I must walk more than 1/2 block or so; it's simply not an option due to debilitating pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30130444.post-36087888136198500292009-09-17T09:34:12.719-05:002009-09-17T09:34:12.719-05:00Just a couple of comments--

(This doesn't address the "worth" or "value" argument--just trying to clarify some terms.) Lectures sometimes happen there, too.<br /><br />Hancher is often used for UI arts performances--UI Symphony Orchestra, UI bands, UI Opera Theatre, etc., as well as some graduations. The School of Music, at least, needs a larger performance venue than just Clapp. Again, this does not address the "worth" question, but I think your analysis of Hancher's use is too limited.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
