CUHK Newsletter No.20 July 91 University to Accommodate 700 Disabled Persons The third International Abilympics 1991 will be held in Hong Kong this August, and the University will help accommodate some 700 disabled participants from different parts of the world. They will live in the University's guesthouses and student hostels in United College and Shaw College from 8th to 16th August. As these participants have different handicaps such as blindness and deafness, and some are wheelchair-bound, members of the University are requested to offer help whenever necessary to make their stay on campus more congenial. Motorists should also pay special attention when driving on campus roads during that period.
