Local clinics ease pressures of college life

It's mid-morning. In an almost deserted room, you can see the stack of books. She's alone. When a couple brushes by her table, one book bangs to the floor and she looks up with a start. Her eyes gaze out.
Pat Johnson, the secretary who admits students at the Watkins Hospital Mental Health Clinic, agreed.
Pressure. Most students at the University of Kansas feel it constantly, but the end of the semester is a critical time, Richard University Counseling Center, said recently.
"At the beginning, around mid-terms and at this time of year—that's usually when the crunch comes," she said.
MOST COUNSELING services in the Lawrence area said the number of school-related cases increased in April and May. But school is seldom the only problem. John Fenwick, assistant director of Headquarters, said. Students usually are drawn to a school where there is a lot of personal and family problems that have been touched off by a tough finals schedule.
To handle the stress that emerges during finals season, counselors offered some suggestions:
First, try to identify the cause of the stress. It doesn't exist in a vacuum, and Rundquist. Determine which class or responsibility is the most pressing.
Then make short-range study or work plans and stick to them.
Counselors also suggested diversionary tactics:
Talk to a friend. Run or play a game to off steam. Above and above, relax. Relaxation is an acquired skill and the Counseling Center devotes entire workshops to it.
BUT IF THE pressure is too much to handle alone, looking for professional help is a good alternative, Sydney Schroeder, director of the Mental Helitech clinic, said.
Although final results are not available, said the number of students seen at the clinic is 600. An average of 600 students, 4 percent of the student population, use the clinic every day.
In the Lawrence area, low cost and free counseling is widely available.
"It's surprising that a town this size has so many organizations to help people," Fenwick said.
The types of counseling offered by the organizations differ about as much as the settings in which they are offered.

KUMC to rebut memo allegations
By STEVE MAUN
Staff Reporter
University of Kansas Medical Center officials will issue a rebuttal today denying what they call "malicious rumors and false information" about the Med Center's Mid-Western branch and David Waxman, executive vice chancellor of the College of Health Sciences.
The rumors stem from an initialized campaign by the Chancellor Archie C勒 R. Dykes. Copies of the memo were sent anonymously last Wednesday in the Kansas Board of Regents and was also distributed among staff members.
Waxman said both the memo and his initials were forged.
The memorandum alleged that Waxman had forced Bernard Keele, former dean of research, and Barth Hoogstraten, former surgeon, at the cancer center, out of their positions.
THE MEMO ALSO alleged that Waxman was planning to manipulate funds to cover a $2.5 million deficiency in the cancer center's budget. He also said it was also alleged that he was planning to force Norton Greenberg, chairman of the department of medicine, Carl Manfield, director of radiation therapy, and James Tolstoy, head of the School of Medicine, out of their positions.
Waxman said that he did not know why anyone would forge a memo from him, but that it happened occasionally.
"It is a hoax, a bogus fraud and an insincerity," she said out of business. If you know the chancellor's system, executive vice chancellors don't have the power to manipulate funds. It all depends on who gets it.
Dykes said Friday that although he had not seen the memo, information he had received from Regents and news reports had convinced him the memo was true.
He was unavailable for comment last night.
THE REBUTTAL was prepared by Waxman, Hoogstraat and Lowman during a Saturday morning meeting requested by Hoogstraat.
It states that the memorandum publicized last week was false and that *Homo trenatus* resigned January 25 because he **died** to a serious position, although he had not yet found one.
Donald Svoboda is now active; director of the cancer center and will continue in that position. Hoogstraeten remains on the ground for six years as director of the Southwest Oncology Group.
The oncology group is composed of 48 medical centers including KU, and the group's headquarters is traditionally in Boca Raton. The chairman works. When Hoagstraunt moves to a new medical center, the headquarters also will be moved, taking with it about 81 million in operating funds for the National Cancer Institute, Waxman said.
THE FUNDS ARE not used for research and the moving of the oncology group's headquarters will not affect cancer treatment, according to the rebault. The Med Center will remain a member of the Southwest Oncology Group with no financial loss, the
IF THE EXTENSION grant comes through, then an application for another core grant will be filed. Waxman said that federal grants were becoming more difficult to get and that it was possible the National Grants Center would help the cancer center after the extension grant.
James Erickson, assistant director of the cancer center, said the $2.5 million grant he received was meaningful. A three-year core grant from the National Cancer Institute to the center for $8,000 a year expired March 31. The extension year has been filed.
Anne Stanshe, information director at the cancer center, said that even if the cancer center were to close, the cancer programs at the Med Center would not be affected for research are awarded individually to the basis of their private research.
State conducts senior pictures investigation

The Kansan Attorney General's office is to contact the New York City company that took pictures of KU seniors last October but never delivered the orders. The office also has a special assistant to the attorney general, said Friday.
The attorney general's office is taking over an inquiry being conducted by KU Student Legal Services because he has more influence over the new York state attorney general's office than legal Services would, Woerman said.
WOERMAN SAID his office took over the investigation of the company that gave Garage Land Services interest and third-year law student, called the attorney general's office asking for assistance in the investigation. He then moved to South Carolina.
problem because it was handling a complaint against Rappaport for an individual KU student.
"Certainly there was no widespread realization of the problem until Legal Services called us," Woerman said. "What we need to do is attempt to trace the company and see if it is in form to handle the complaint."
Jayhawk Yearbook business manager Vince Burke estimated that about 400 students had not received senior pictures from Rappaport. He said about 1,300 had form pictures taken and about half had ordered pictures.
The attorney general's office will combine individual KU students' complaints to present them as one case against Rapapport, Worrman said. He said his office would be investigating the legal Services complaint forms to fill out to find

"We were somewhat amazed at the $4 a head fee." You said, "But, to give you some idea of the bids, the price we paid for the property is..."
VOE SAID this year was the first time the yearbook had contracted with Rapapport for senior picture work. He said that the company had bid for the Jayhawker contract for the last 10 years.
"They were known to us as an established company," Yee said.
Ganz said it was not known how much money was involved because students had a variety of picture packages to choose from and a variety of ways to pay for them.
"I'm impossible to know - different people order different things," Ganz said. "We have one canceled ticket."
The check was written for $57.01.
The attorney general's office has already sent a letter to Rappaport for the KU student who filed a complaint
against the company earlier this month, he said. Rappaport must respond by April 23.
"IF THEY HAVE not responded by that date, we will start an investigation and contact the attorney general's office for the state of New York," he said. "I can't say exactly what further action might be taken."
"Generally, the leverage of an office such as this has a good deal of settlement value, but whether that will happen, I don't know. It could be that there will be a consumer protection suit, but I don't know."
'Right now, the students should just get a complaint form, from Local Service, fill it out and mail it to us.'
Richard Rustiano, owner of Rapappot, promised Thursday to deliver the pictures soon.

Too many bus riders spoil company budget
By SUSAN SCHOENMAKER
Editor's note: This is the first story in a four-part series on the "KU on Wheels" bus system.
"KU on Wheels", the campus bus system, is suffering from popularity.
Although patronage is usually the fulfillment of a mass transit dream, it has backfired in the case of "KJ on Wheels."
"We are kind of stuck." Steve McMurray, Student Senate Transportation Board chairman says she reserves the reserves of money to buy another bus. We really do have a saturation point in terms of
"KU on Wheels!" carries an average of 11,000 riders a day. The number of riders who "buy" KU cars is "if we added a bus, everyone would love it, but who would love to pay for it?" asked Dame Anne, president of the Bus and Sewer Association with Benetton, provide "KU On Wheels!" "don't care what people say. You can't lose moneyコンバンデー you will go broke. It is called bankruptcy."
"It is a funny deal—the energy problem works both ways for mass transit," McMurry said. "The energy problem makes
McMurry said increased patronage this year meant more expenditures for gas.
OGLE SAID the company's percentage of profit was "slipping badly", although the company was not in financial trouble. He told me that the year the company made a 8.5 percent profit.
The Kansan is now accepting applications for the Summer and Fall 1980 Graduate Programs. Application forms are available in the Student Senate Office, 105 Kansas Union; in the Office of Student Organizations, 120 Strong Hall; and in 105 Fint Hall.
All completed applications are due in room 105 Flint Hall by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 22.

mass transit more appealing. What people don't always realize is it is certainly a lot more neon on the bus.
"Sombebody still has to buy gas."
According to Lawrence Bus Company records, this year's fuel prices increased 22 percent from September to March. It costs an estimated $1,400 to run the buses every week.
"KU on Wheels!" is in a more precarious position than most bus systems because 35 percent of the riders are from Daisy Hill and Hall, with walking distance of the campus.
THE ROUTES CLOSE to campus are the most lucrative routes for "KU on Wheels", but they may decline as increasing bus costs increase, so walking a more attractive alternative.
"You can, and we have, priced ourselves out of the market," said Ogle. "Those people aren't captive—they can walk. It just depends on economics.
Olege said this year, "S KU on Wheels" has the health balance between its 'taxpayers', its 'lawyers' and its 'privacy privilege' fee, and its users' fees collected through bus passes and the fare
"Before, we always considered the bus a convenience thing, but now it is an economic thing—out of their nockets."
Olde had asked the Senate Transportation Board for a 12 percent contract increase next year, from $38,000 to $414,000. The Board approved an across-the-board inference from $5 to $8 cash fares from 2 to 16 dollars and has semester from $2 to $30.
“If the Lawrence Bus Company could generate enough fare box revenue without student help, we wouldn't be,”ogle said. “But even with this inflation, you can price yourself out the market. Each time you buy a seat, you'll not care how much, you lose a little traffic.”
OGLE ADMITTED, however, that the bus had its loyal supporters, especially in the winter.

Church members' bonfire burns 'satanic' belongings
Staff Reporter
The black plume of smoke swing around a dusty wind blew across melting ice and snow, with the knackacks at the O'Connell Youth Ranch yesterday. Men's, women's and children's weddings.
The fire's flare-ups and the steady heat of the mid-afternoon sun failed to slow the man in a time polyster suit who poked at the fire and led verses in a sine-song chant.
They are released from the power of Satan as the fire burns and the smoke goes up. Lee Barlee of the Ninth Street Baptist Church, said, punctuating his prayer with a hymn:
STACKED AMONG the flames were records by artists such as Neil Diamond, Christina Aguilera and such as *King Rites Book of Love*, "Life with Elvis," "Free to Be You and Me," "Psycho Dietetics," "Poems of Dr. Knackcases" including a age and old genres.
Michael Ramsey, Garden City junior, said the burning symbolized the freeing of the individual from material possessions.
"We're trying to get rid of those things that take away from putting God first," Ramsey said. "Studies crust in between you and your boss are the temptation to say, well, I have to study."
Ramsey said that since he devoted more time to the church, his studying also had improved. He said materialism not only affects spiritualism, but that it could be hcvllectual.
"If you feel this thing is corrupt why give it to someone else?" Ramsey asked. "Get rid of it, Trv to keep from being two-faced."
"If it keeps your mind off Jesus," she answered.
Barbee said which objects should be burned by whether they violated the word of God, Japanese, Chinese or Buddhas. Barbee said which words should and thus, Barbee said, should be burned.
"Is country-western a sin?" a small boy across the circle asked his mother.
RAMSEY SAID that holding consistent principles meant that if one did not believe in swearing, one should not have albums with swearing in the songs.
"The graven images of their God ye shall burn with fire," was one of the biblical passages quoted in the service.
Barbee said he decided to hold a book burner after Sandra Blankenship, a church member, had confided she had a cardboard box that burned because they violated God's word.
"We've been wanting to have one for a long time, but we didn't think it was God's time." Barbee said.
BLANKENSHIP SAID she was relieved to have the objects off her mind.
"I've had this stuff in my car now for two weeks," Blankenship said. "There is a tremendous sense of freedom."
She ticked off the names of some of the materials now in the fire. She said there were many books about her life, such as Mary Stewart and Victoria Holm and a children's book, Marlo Thomas "Free to read."
Recording artists named were Neil Diamond and Glen Campbell. She touched on the last two album artists ingenuity, and that said many times it was only a word or phrase in the lyrics than the whole records. She said there also some personal judgements involved.
She said she found nothing wrong with "Free to Be You and Me," except that it supported the Ms. Foundation.
"The Bible has a clear chain of authority." Blankenship said. "The Ms. Foundation would have two heads and no followers."
**THERE WERE SOME nonchallent**
children who were in charge of Roe, Ross who was more interested in orange juice than prayer. She said she watched her father at the farm and tapes for the burning night before.
"He looked at all of them, then he played some to see how they were, and if they weren't no good we threw them in the razzed box." Roos said.
Barbee said that this was the first burning the church had participated in, and that he planned for it to be a regular event during the year.
"Some people abuse us of being strict," Barbee said. "We just don't want Satan to have a foothold in our lives. This is spiritual madness and a lot of people don't realize that."
