Free sex counseling available from Human Sexuality Network
By LISA PROCTOR Staff Reporter
A woman finds herself facing an unwanted pregnancy. Another seeks to avoid the same situation.
Both women can obtain help through the Human Sexuality Network, a network of resources offering help and emotional support to sexual and emotional aspects of sexuality.
COUNSELING IS DONE at the Student Assistance Center in 121 Strong Hall, at headquarters or the University Information Center.
The network offers free, current information, emotional support and referrals on topics ranging from contraception to adoption.
All services are confidential and one need not give a name to receive assistance.
Trained, volunteer counselors staff the network. They do not advocate one solution to any situation over another. Their goal is to discuss the choices available and let the client make his or her own decisions.
"We discuss the risks and possible consequences of each choice," Lorna Zimmer, Director of the Student Assistance Center and coordinator of the network said. "They must make their own decisions, but it is important that people have the information about all their choices."
MOST OF THE network's in
volvement in cases comes before choices are made.
After a decision has been made, clients are referred to agencies that offer the service desired.
"We handle the problem-solving aspects and other agencies handle the medical aspects." Zimmer said.
Contraceptives purchased at Watkins are approximately one-third less than when purchased at a retail pharmacy, according to Zimmer.
For example, students desiring contraception are referred to Watkins Hospital. Students visit a gynecologist, who will discuss with the patient her preferences and prescribe the best birth control method for her.
CLIENTS INTERESTED in abortion or adoption will be referred to the proper agencies, Zimmer said.
"We can also refer women to support groups or parenting groups if they choose to keep the child."
Women who choose to take their pregnancies to term and keep the child or put it up for adoption can receive prenatal care at Watkins Hospital. Because Watkins has no maternity facilities, doctors there may referrals to obstetricians and family practitioners for delivery.
Students need not be afraid to seek help in difficult situations, according to Zimmer.
Human Sexuality Network volunteers may be contacted by calling the Information Center at 864-3506 or Headquarters at 861-2345.

works at Kid Radio. He said until his practice was established nationally, Lawrence was "just too small an area to make a living at graphoanalysis."
Clark, 23, is a graphoanalyst, a person who studies the psychological framework of an individual by the way strokes are connected in a letter.
Clark opened a private counseling business in Lawrence last fall based on graphonanalysis. Since then, he has spent much of his time developing a method that would reach more people and reduce the cost for his clients.
GRAPHOANALYSIS is a scientific method of personality assessment, Clark said, based on research conducted during a 50-year period.
"I all Need with graphoanalysis is handwriting," he said. "But with counseling you need a more effective letter or perhaps a perhaps letter writing or telecommunication."
"I've been working on a method to see what would be the most efficient, beneficial and also the least expensive," he said.

Clark said he would probably use a direct mail system to interest people in his business.
After someone sent in his handwriting, Clark said, he would send back a folder outlining that person's tenacious emotion such as responsiveness.

Then Clark would offer the client a written report on how the emotions interact. Afterward, some form of communication would be set up between the two if the person wanted counseling.
Writing a column, answering questions and explaining graphanalysis is also something Clark can help the he/she be might "build up to a national audience. In terms of letting people find out about graphanalysis,

THE PURPOSE of personality counseling, Clark said, "will be to prevent problems and to help a person who is struggling that it might create a problem in his life."
this would be the widest way of educating them."
He said that his role of counselor was limited to finding personal problems in the individual's handwriting and to help solve these problems to the person's attention.
Graphohaanalysis counseling, however, does not follow the traditional role of attempting to help someone change his personality, Clark said.
"There are basic strokes that indicate a certain thing about your personality." Clark said. "I would see if that particular stroke is there and how often it occurs. The more the stroke, the stronger the tendency."
To determine if a person has a problem, Clark uses the Gestalt method of graphoanalysis. This method is not concerned with the letter itself, but with the combination of strokes used to form a letter.
Personality comes from the sub-conscious, Clark said, and is conveyed by the handwriting strokes. Handwriting decoration of how a person views a situation
"It was just a desire to understand who I was," he said. "Grapheanology also makes you very aware that people with different backgrounds are very different from any other person."
Clark said he became interested in graphoanalysis to learn more about himself and others.
After finishing high school, Clark took the general graphoanalysis course from the International Graphoanalysis program and learned that the world that certifies graphoanalysists.
WHILE STUDYING graphoanalysis, he discovered that after a person read his personality assessment, the interest of the reader in the problem found in his evaluation.
Even though Clark obtained his certificate in 1974, he did not immediately begin his practice. Instead, he has continued to study at the University of Kansas to better understand
derstand the physical process of a person's handwriting.
Besides investing his time in graphonanalysis analysis counseling, Clark
Ministry supports pro-life film
"What we're here for is people to meet Jesus in a personal way," said Paula Aviertet, one of the seven members at the Union. The center has about 30 members, three-fourths of whom are students.

Beeker Bckar, another Marantha member, said the majority of people stopped, looked and listened when the group started singing at noon.
"Jesus is first, everything else is second. Our first priority is to share the life of Jesus, and secondly, to let people know what we're doing," he said.

"Ministers say it's the most powerful pro-life film they have ever seen," said Maranatha Director Bob DuVall, although he has never seen the film.
An anti-abortion documentary with actual abortion footage will be shown tonight in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
BUT DUVALL said the Center's first priority was letting people know about Jesus Christ.
The film, "Assignment: Life," is sponsored by the Lawrence Maranatha Christian Ministry.
DURING THE MORNING, Barker said, people did stop and ask about the organization.
"WE'RE BEHIND THE film 100 percent," said Dvall about the film's ant-abortion stand. "For persons weighing the balance about having an abortion, they'll choose against one after this film."
Marnatha is an international organization founded 10 years ago. It now has 65 campus centers across the United States. The Lawrence chapter has a non-profit organization serving as a not-nondenominational church.
"We attracted a lot of attention," she said.
Dvall said that Tuesday, for the first time, the center distributed literature in front of the Union. Part of the literature promoted the film and
DuVail said the organization would continue to distribute literature in front of the Union throughout the summer and into next fall.
