Student-run 'Headquarters' open
Drug hot line to aid troubled students
An effort was made by four KU seniors Monday night at a community meeting to introduce Lawrence residents to a community drug use and abuse center.
The idea for Headquarters, the drug center, was originated five weeks ago, by Brian Bauerle, Harlan, Ia., senior, who has worked in similar projects in Chicago and Kansas City, Mo. Bauerle; Brad Schulenberg, Leavenworth senior; Dave Nutt, Baldwin City senior and John Pettit, Kansas City senior are currently operating the project.
Bauerle said the project would have several purposes. A 24 hour switchboard would be maintained to provide help to students on a "bad trip" as well as provide information on drugs. An open house policy would be maintained to give help to students who had problems with friendship and counseling, said Bauerle. The project would also operate an information center and a speaker service.
center is located in a house at 1546 Massachusetts.
The service is directed at junior high school, high school and college students, Bauer said. The
The project is modeled after others already established across the country. Nutt said they would work in cooperation with the Carriage House, a similar project in Topeka.
Eauerle said that at present there are limited facilities that can handle problems of youth and drug abuse. He said Headquarters would provide a communications link and a friendship function.
"We operate on a basis of mutual trust with the kids," Nutt said. "Our function is not to supervise or dictate personal ac-
uivities, but to provide valid information."
If medical or psychiatric care were necessary, Bauer said, Headquarters would direct the student along the proper channels if such care were needed.
"The community has generally been very receptive and sympathetic towards the project," Nutt said.
Runaways would be housed at the center, and parents would be notified of their presence at the center. Bauerle said. Hs said they would work with the runaways on reconciliations of the problems that caused them to leave home.
"We have the kids and we have
the problems," said Bauerle, stressing that youth problems should not be underestimated. Nutt said that although the project had not yet been publicized, in the two weeks the project has been in operation 20 to 25 students a day were coming to the Headquarters house. He said not all of these students had problems, however.
Course offered in library science
The organization will be run by student volunteers, but Bauerle said a salaried staff might eventually be needed. Schulenberg said a steering committee composed of adult community members is being formed to handle finances and funding and to insure permanence of the project.
Library Science 40, an experimental course initiated by the University of Kansas Libraries last semester, will again be offered spring semester, said H. Robert Malinowsky, assistant director of science libraries, Wednesday.
