Watkins gets high marks
Survey says 97 percent of students satisfied with their treatment
Kansan staff writer
By Vicki Bode
Most students are satisfied with Watkins Memorial Health Center, according to a survey conducted last week.
The survey, which is conducted each semester, reported that 97 percent of students were happy with the treatment they received from Watkins.
The Student Health Advisory Board distributed 279 questionnaires that asked students six questions about their opinions of the doctors and provided an area for general comments. Students could answer each question
on a scale from very unsatisfied to very satisfied. One hundred thirty-nine questionnaires were returned.
Jim Boyle, associate director of Watkins, said the survey was used to point out problems at Watkins so the staff could try to make corrections.
"We don't conduct the survey so we can pat ourselves on the back," he said. "We do it to find trouble spots and to improve our services."
Boyle said positive comments on the surveys would be posted for the staff to review. Any negative comments directed at a specific doctor would be discussed with that doctor in private, Boyle said.
The length of waiting time at Watkins was the most common complaint the students reported on their surveys.
"Some things are simply out of our control," Boyle said. "We can't do anything about the waiting time for walk in patients or the parking problems
Similar surveys have been conducted at Watkins for seven years, but this was the first survey conducted completely by the student board.
Jim Strobl, director of Watkins, said he was especially pleased with the results of the survey because it was conducted entirely by students.
"We really want to offer more appointments to more students," Strobl said. "We know the students have busy schedules, so it would help to offer them more appointments."
Long waits at the pharmacy was one of the most common complaints on last fall's survey. After reviewing the survey, Watkins extended its pharmacy hours and hired another pharmacist.
Bands to aid campus charity
By Noelle Kastens Special to the Kansan
Three Lawrence bands will team up tonight to raise money for Natural Ties, an organization whose goal is to mainstream mentally and physically handicapped persons into social settings.
Salty Iguanas, Millhous Nixons and Turquoise Sol will perform at the Natural Ties Charity Jam tonight at Liberty Hall. The bands are donating their time.
Hugoton senior Ann Spikes, treasurer and fund-raising chairperson for Natural Ties, said the bands' generosity would greatly benefit the fund-raising effort.
"We can't express how much this will help," Spikes said. "They all have a really great following here in Lawrence. We have a really great line-up."
program that was started at the University of Kansas in 1988 and grew nationwide in the summer of 1992. The KU program works with mentally and physically disabled people between the ages of 14 and 40.
Spikes said that although they had jobs outside the home, some disabled people needed help getting involved socially.
"They were going to work, going home and staying home," she said.
Natural Ties is a community service
Nine fraternities and 11 sororities at KU are participating in the Natural Ties program, in which students include a disabled friend in their social activities.
Many of the students involved have found the experience rewarding.
"It's been a real eye-operer," Levi said. "It's nice for me to see her opening up to people and laughing with us."
Holly Levi, Lawrence sophomore and member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, said working with her natural tie, Lisa Boulton, had shown her that people with mental and physical disabilities had more to offer than many people perceive.
The students invite their natural ties to parties, dinners or simple get-togethers to allow them to enhance their social skills and meet new friends.
"I think just being around a lot of people has helped her open up," Levi said. "Going to our house to spend, time with us is something she looks forward to every week."
Spikes said that although only fra- $ ^{k} $ ternities and sororites were involved in the program, her organization currently is working to reach other groups around campus.
"We don't want this to be just a greek thing," Spikes said. "Right now we still have more ties to hook up."
The concert will begin at 8 tonight.
Tickets, which are $8 in advance and $10 at the door, are on sale at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
