Help found for all ages at center
By SUSAN WOODARD

What would you say to an elderly woman who is lonely or a 12-year-old boy who is having problems in school or a couple having trouble with their marriage?
KU students usually are not called upon to deal with such situations in their everyday routine of parties and classes, but for the social welfare students at the University Community Services Center, these problems are everyday occurrences.
"One thing you get here is variety," Rick Thomas, a first year graduate student, said. "We'll do it."
In addition to their classwork, seniors and graduate students in the School of Social Welfare are required to put in from 500 to 700 hours a year working in social welfare agencies.
Students are placed at agencies in Kansas City, Topeka and about 30 other cities.
CYNTHIA BROWNSTEIN, a practicum instructor in social welfare, said that the school made an effort to place seniors or other groups in the UCSC because of the variety it offered.
"It is more difficult to ask an agency person, who has a specific job, to make sure that the student has a versatile program," she said.
The center is located at the Watkins Home, a building behind Twente Hall that used to house nurses when Twente was a hospital.
Established in the fall of 1973, the center was then in Joliet Hall. In July 1974, the center was reopened in 1975.
Clients either come to the agency or are referred from other agencies in Douglas County. After an initial screening, the client is directed to other agencies or are assigned to students.
"WE GET A VARIETY of different cases
"WE GET A VARIETY of different cases . . . from children to the elderly." Carl Harper, a second year graduate student, said.
Deb Kagin, a first year graduate student,
had three individual students this year—a
65-year-old woman, a 15-year-old girl and a
32-year-old woman. Kagin and Kathy Bourne,
another social welfare student, also set up a
group with girls at Baldwin High School.
Kagin said that working with such diverse problems required the social worker to be flexible.
Thomas worked with a 30-year-old man and a 12-year-old boy in a foster home.
"You have to try and not jump ahead," she said. "You have to be sensitive and open about your feelings."
Because the boy had trouble talking about his problems and wanted to find work for the carpenter, he set up a program in which he and the boy worked on mowing engine mowers from junk yards and constructed one working lawn mower from the backyard. He then mowed lawns in the summer for extra mows.
"IN THE PROCESS we both learn a lot about engines姆 we developed a closer relationship."
Some social welfare students also work on community projects.
Social welfare students do not always work with individuals. Brownstein said that social work was concerned with how a person reacted with his social environment so the workers at UCSC tried to see couples, and group or visit persons in their homes.
Kagin and several other students worked with the North Lawrence Planning Council on a case study for the community development survey. They wrote and mailed a questionnaire on which the citizens of North Lawrence could comment on the conditions in their streets, transportation and police protection.
"We're getting some extremely passionate responses," Thomas said. "People aren't lukewarm about North Lawrence."

The planning council will be using the survey results to make recommendations to the team.
WORKING AT UCSC may give students some advantages over being placed at other agencies, Thomas said. All the agencies have field instructors to help students, but not all have the facilities of UCSC.
If you have a problem, you can go up to
"If You have a problem, you can go up to
Hall Hall and there are 15 professors who
are here."
Traffic appeal cases cause court pileup
Persons wanting traffic ticket appeals resolved before the end of the semester should not request a personal appearance before the University of Kansas Parking Department. If you are the appeal heard "ex parte," according to Terry Wall, chief justice of the court.
Wall said recently that, to guarantee that appeals would be heard, people should include all relevant information about the ticket on an appeal form and check the appropriate space on the form indicating they do not wish to appear in person before The appeal forms are available in Hoch Auditorium at the park office window.
Wall warned that persons who wished to appear in person with a legal counsel before the court might not have their cases heard until the fall semester.

Power plants investigated
A special committee had been formed by the Kansas Legislature during the 1978 session to determine whether representatives of the two power companies building the Wolf Creek plantlied to lawmakers when discussing state power needs.

The investigation resulted from media reports that Kansas City Power & Light Co. wanted to sell a Nebraska power concern a third unit in the plant, the first of its kind in Kansas.
The committee concluded in a report presented last week that company officials did not intentionally mislead the Legislature, but it also said those officials failed to inform lawmakers of details when they had the opportunity.
