Westminster Choir College Box Office A Challenge for Elderly, Handicapped

To The Editor:

One wonders how they get away with it. Even after all these years of legislation in favor of the elderly and the handicapped, the Westminster Choir College (WCC) still keeps its box office on the third floor of Williamson Hall, sans elevator.

A woman who works in this area told me that she has been trying for over 10 years to persuade the WCC to locate its box office at a more hospitable altitude, so far without any result.

How does the WCC get around the accessibility laws that seem to apply to most public access buildings in New Jersey?
