KU-Y Initiates Program Of Teenage Guidance
Are you interested in working with youngsters who need help with their personalities and problems? The adolescent guidance program of the KU-Y gives you this opportunity.
This program will be presented tonight at 8:30 in the Kansas Union, when Larry Hatfield and Terry Gilbert. Lawrence juniors, co-chairmen of the adolescent guidance program explain the program.
The adolescent guidance program, newest program of the KU-Y, had its start last spring. The program developed many of its ideas from a similar program now in operation at Berkeley, Calif.
Hatfield said the objectives and purpose of the program are to establish a one-to-one relationship with a college student and a predelinquent youngster.
THE PROGRAM has been established with three main objectives:
- To be helpful in some way to young boys and girls in need of a guiding factor which will better equip them to become an integral part of harmonious society.
- To be especially interested in pre-delinquent, anti-social youngsters whose attitudes towards themselves and others are incompatible with well-adjusted living.
The project will provide an inservice training opportunity to University of Kansas students preparing for professional careers connected with teaching, coaching, criminology, police work, probation and social welfare.
With these objectives in mind, Hatfield said the program would be carried out as follows:
THE YOUNGSTER will be provided with a close friend (big brother or sister) in whom the youngster may confide and with whom he can identify. He said this approach is aimed at the assumption by the "little brother or sister" that values, ideals, methods of problem solving, and behavior patterns are similar to those observed by "big brother or sister."
In comparison with the Berkeley Big Brother Project the KU-Y program will not deal with youngsters who are already delinquents but with those who have a personality that may lead to delinquency. The Berkeley program has met with a great amount of success. Only 7.7 per cent of the youngsters in the program were committed to the Juvenile Court while in such a project. This leaves the assumption that 92.3 per cent made a more or less satisfactory adjustment.
Persons interested in the project and those already working on the project must expect to meet the following:
- The student must spend an average of five hours a week with his youngster.
- He must not get an inflated idea of his position by trying to take the place of the youngster's parents, church or school.
- ● THE "BIG BROTHER or sister" must offer the youngster companionship and show an interest in him.
- He must think carefully as to whether he can sustain a relationship for a length of time.
- The student must be able to work with the youngster for at least one and preferably more than one academic year.
The youngsters who will receive big brothers and big sisters are selected by the Lawrence school system, which has cooperated fully with the project.
Leonard's Standard Service 9th and Indiana
Complete Brake Service Minor Tune-ups
must submit an application to the KU-Y which inquires as to their interest in the program and why they wish to enter such a program.
TRAINING FOR the "big brothers and sisters" will consist of training sessions set up by the KU-Y, which will brief them on techniques and suggestions. The students working on the program will have full run of their youngsters and the program they set up for him.
Open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Anyone interested in working with these problem youngsters may inquire further at the KU-Y office and attend the informational meeting this evening in the Kansas Union.
