About a year and a half ago, a group of Lawrence citizens and three University of Kansas faculty members under a situation among junior and senior high school youth in Lawrence. At this first meeting, it was recognized that the group had gotten worse. It was also found that there was no one agency available to this age group that was equipped to handle the problems associated with drug abuse.
As a result of this meeting, extensive research was done to determine the most appropriate drug abuse center. The committee then gathered the information they had obtained into their work and designed the center which was specifically oriented toward Lawrence's junior and senior high school.
The fifth proposal was to act as a responsible referral agent for the community, and Lately, by accomplishing these first five goals Headquarters would also determine the definite scope of these problems in our community.
Thus began "Headquarters". The concept of the center was started by students and presented to the Outreach Commission of the First United Methodist Church in Boston and probationary funding.
Third, the group behind Headquarters proposed to actively distribute drug abuse information and means of speaking engagements, adult education, and the old reliable 'grapevine', so time would be spent in high youth. Fourth, Headquarters would be set up for runaways so that these youths would have an opportunity rather than going to a distant city.
A Board of Directors was organized; it consisted of investigators, physicians, pharmacologists and experienced center staff member.
First, they proposed to establish a 24 hour switchboard and guidance center to deal with emergency calls in the Second, Headquarters personnel proposed to establish a library concerning drugs and drug abuse for the purpose of providing a resource for concerned citizens.
Headquarters set out to do six thing.
Though Headquarters' success has been accented with relocations and financial shortages, it has accomplished a great deal. The reputation of the company as a source of help has spread rapidly through the community, and the switchboard operating on two

What Headquarters needs now is people who want to share their special skills and interests with youth . . . and of course, there is always use for money. For money, you need the location, 1632 Kentucky, and they are in the process of doing a little remodeling.
A fund drive held last year raised two thirds of the amount of money Headquarters hopes to get two thousand dollars was the amount students in the Kansas University Lawrence High School gave $750 through its Student Council. Another fund raising drive will be held next year in which it is hoped to raise two to three thousand dollars, or so hoped that money will come from unsolicited contributions.
Donations may be sent to Box 989 or the First National Bank, in care of Headquarters; contributions are tax deductible.

Dear Sir:
I received a copy of the questionnaire results you recently mailed to the citizens of the Third Congress District of Kansas. To put it mildly, I am surprised. The only rational explanation that can be offered for these results is the manipulation of information provided in the questionnaire to support any position under the sum. to lustify your particular public stance.
For example, if an opinion of the public was really valued on the question of whether a candidate should be "allowed to use his customary" or "or is requested by President Nixon" added to pro-draft extension responses; while at the same time, the phrase "in favor of an immediate transfer to an all-tournament military service," was added to the choice of not to extend the extension.
Anyone in his right mind would see that an "immediate transfer" is impossible, especially when he realizes that it would take at least a bitter struggle in Congress to pass such a measure. The only alternative was to select a draft continuance. No wonder the sample revealed that 67 per cent of the population voted to extend the draft. Why was the question not posed on a "yes" or "no" basis? As far as that goes, why has a bill for a one year draft extension not been introduced? Would it be because approximately 200 Congressmen would be placed in the unusual climate of public commitment three months before an election rather than three months after?
Let us take another example. In this questionnaire you said, "By and large, you (the public) gave President Nixon good marks for his performance in office." These were not the results your questionnaire revealed at all; Rather than reporting that 46 per cent felt that the President was doing an excellent or good job and that 55 per
celt felt that he was doing a fair or unsatisfactory job, you reported the results in such a way to lend credibility to your particular opinion. This was done by saying that 46 per cent felt that Nixon was doing an excellent or good job, 31 per cent rated his performance as fair, and 24 per cent as unsatisfactory.
Clearly, by the way the results were wored, the public ends up believing that Nixon is the Lincoln of our time. Personally, when 55 per cent of the population sample feel that Nixon's performance has been fair or unsatisfactory, I would not state that President Nixon's marks for his performance in office were "good."
Only 13 per cent felt Nixon is doing an excellent job. Does this mean that the U.S. citizenry has resigned themselves to accepting an ordinary, run-of-the-mill, mediocre leader for the most powerful and influential position in the United States of America?
I ask, how long must politicians straddle the fence, pleasing the public on one hand, and "brown nosing" superiors and interest groups on the other? How long will Congressmen wade in trivia, such as arranging Congressional tours, and ignore the basic and fundamental dilemma of confronting our nation?
Why in the hell did you not ask if the citizens of your district wanted to stay in Viet Nam or not? Has Congress degenerated so far that the Representatives of the House can continue to ignore 75 per cent of the constituents of this country? Has a Congressman's seat become so secure? Or, I wonder if maybe these leaders have lost their democratic conscience. After all, it is not better to wait passively for the consequences of fire, regardless of the stakes and regardless of the consequences. Apparently.
Why, sir, should in the name of justice such manipulators and do-nothings be comptrollers of our government—our lives?
Sincerely,
S. R. Bledsoe
How do you rate President Nixon's performance in office at this, the half-way mark?
Excellent 13 12
Good 33 34
Fair 31 30
Unsatisfactory 23 25
The current Selective Service law will expire this year. Congress must make a decision. How would you vote?
To extend it for four years (as is customary) 20 22
To extend it for two years (as requested by President Nixon) 46 48
Not to extend it at all 28 31
(in favor of an immediate transfer to an all-volunteer military service)
It has been suggested that a percentage of the money which Washington collects in federal income taxes be returned to the states and local governments to be used by these states and local governments as they see fit. Do you favor this idea?
Do you favor President Nixon's cabinet reorganization plan which would make eight cabinet-level departments instead of twelve?
Do you think Congress should take action which would prohibit prolonged stinks and stinks?
Do you agree with the concept of imposing special taxes on pollution sources (such as lead in gasoline) as a method of improving the environment by cutting down on such sources?
Should Congress vote federal funds to continue construction of two prototypes of the supervisory transport (SST)?
Do you favor the establishment of a National Health Insurance Program?
ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS WILL BE REFERRED TO THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON CRIME
If you were in Congress ...
would you vote more money for research into drugs (like methadone), which kill the craving for heroin?
would you vote to impose production quotas on amphetamines and other so-called "pep pills?"
would you vote for sufficient funds to greatly improve the quality of our correctional institutions?
