IDDT involves individual case management. Involvement of family members and of the patient in Past treatments for those with both problems involved therapy for substance abuse before any treatment for mental health problems. The approach wasn't effective, Ruttinger said. "We are now looking at these as coexisting conditions that need to be treated simultaneously." Ruttinger said.

The Lawrence and Kansas City, Mo., international community will celebrate International Mother Language Day in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. Hossain said this was the biggest holiday of the year for the Bangladeshi people, who observe this day for the entire month of February. Nearly 200 countries celebrate International Mother Language Day, and pay respect to their own mother languages, Hossain said. He said 50 people from Lawrence and the Kansas City area showed up last year, but this year he was expecting more than 80 people. M. Ehsanul Hoque, president of BSAKU from Dhaka, Bangladesh, said this was the second year that this day would be celebrated at the University. Hoque said there were 36 members in the BSAKU and at least 50 members attended the University. Rehan Reza, president of BSGKC, said 150 Bangladeshi people lived in the Kansas City area and 400 to 500 Bangladesh people live in Kansas. Reza said his organization celebrated International Mother Language Day in Lawrence with the BSAKU every year. He said the primary goal was to educate the children. "Some of the kids don't know much about the language movement, so we want to make sure they're aware." Reza said. Hossain said the event would feature cultural food such as rice and curry meat. "On this day, we will recognize the sacrifice that our ancestors made to gain independence." Hogue said. Everyone will get the opportunity to sing a 'native Bangladesh patriotic song as well. A guest speaker will talk about Bangla, the mother tongue of Bangladesh, and there will be a film show toward the end of the event. The event is free and open to the public. Acceptance CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A been a kind of barrier put up. So many students are now no longer coming to America. Many of them are going off to Europe and other places because of all the problems they have in getting visas and so on. It must be encouraged to build bridges, to develop understanding and to create a dialogue. You now teach at American University in Washington D.C. Would you say that American students are open-minded to the ideas of Islam? Edited by Lori Bettes I would say that I have some wonderful students. They are inquisitive. They are very fair. They are serious and committed about learning, and they come with an open mind. That's why I have hope for this country, and I have hope for the future. I think the most important thing they can do is to start reaching out to learning about other cultures, about religion What is the most important thing that American students can do to improve relations with Muslims? other people. They must start building bridges because they are living in a world, which is an interconnected world. They are no longer isolated. They are the future leaders of America and in one sense they are the future leaders of the world. They cannot live in a cocoon or a bubble of ignorance. They have to be part of the world, and to be leaders of the world they must understand the world. So I would simply say read, talk, interact, learn about other cultures. And I find, in my class for instance, they are marvelous students and really committed to learning and reading. What would you want Islamic students living in the United States to do? I would like them also to do the same thing. I want them to come out of their cocoons. I want them to go to the synagogue. I want them to go to the church. I don't think they do enough of that, and they certainly haven't done it so far. I say this to them whenever I talk to them that they have to stop being defensive, they must stop living in a cultural ghetto. They are part of this wonderful society, and they have to feel part of it. They should stop feeling that somehow there's something wrong and that there's a cloud over them. What is the greatest misconception the West has about Islam? The greatest misconception is that it's a terrorist religion, that it's an extremist religion, that it's not an Abrahamic faith, it's a religion of "Satan-worshipers." This is what people have said in the media. It just embarrases people. We, the friends of America, feel embarrassed because it just reflects nothing but ignorance. CLARIFICATION Who has the most influence in changing the Western view of Islam? I think people who are young, who are writing about these events about Islam, and are prepared to open their minds and look at the same problem from a different perspective. You people will change things, not the vested interest, not people who are digging in and who are looking at it from the old perspective. It's the youth of America. —Edited by Azita Tafreshi - Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an uncle headline. The subheadline on "Rival recruits westerners" read, "K-State attracts more in-state students."
