teers for fall, according to Carol Butler of the Volunteer Clearing, House, is Headquarters. Workers at Headquarters do not release their last names for security reasons.
The 24-hour counseling service has both walk-in and phone-in advice and provides enrollee support.
Headquarters trains people in the fall, spring and summer. Volunteers must complete 35 to 40 hours of training.
The service prefers that volunteers commit themselves for six months, Butler said, but it does not require a time commitment because work is on a volunteer basis and no contracts are
She said that the service taught general counseling skills, suicide and relationship counseling and drug identification.
Headquarters also refers callers to other services that can best advise them, she said.
EMERGENCY HOUSING is available to people who meet certain guidelines, but the rules are subject to change.
Larry Carter, assistant director of Headquarters, said that the group was funded primarily by the United Way and that it also provided free community fee, revenue sharing and private donations.
Another Lawrence service that is accepting volunteers in the fall is the Women's Transitional Care Services, Inc., according to Barb Smith, volunteer coordinator of WTCS.
WTCs are a 24-hour crisis center that offers counselling, emergency housing and referrals for bakersfield children.
Although it is finishing a training session,
WTC5 will take volunteers again at the end of September or the beginning of October, she said.
SMITH SAID THAT volunteers were given 25 hours of training over a four-week period and that they were screened during this time for strong opinions, racism or class discrimination.
She said people could not be too optimised to work at WTCS because the service tried to do more with less.
This service also asks for one year's commitment from volunteers but, Smith said,
She said that in addition to providing shelter for up to 30 days for women and children, the shelter also provides social rehabilitation services and low-rent housing information for
WTCS is funded through the United Way revenue sharing, social rehabilitation services.

The report also stated that the storage room would enable the museum to be more efficient in storing and retrieving such museum items as linens, tools and pictures.

"We have about one-third of our collection on display and two-thirds in storage," he said.
In a report prepared for the City Commission, the museum said it was important to control temperature and humidity because any fluctuations caused materials to expand and contract. Excess humidity also causes mold, mildew and corrosion.
Janssen said that because the collection was rotated for display, the temperature-controlled
Jansen said a new storage room, which would be 24 feet by 30 feet and 8 feet high, would be constructed in an unused part of the attic. He said $7,000 was needed to build it.
storage room should not be considered a junk closet.
"WERE NOT GOING to lock these items in the room and throw away the key," he said.
"Last year," he said, "11,70 people visited the museum." Jansen said the museum received 60 percent of its budget from public funds and the rest from private funds.
Jansen said the museum requested revenue sharing funds because the museum was providing a high degree of service to Lawrence and to the county.
The museum's budget this year, he said, was $48,000. The $3,500 that the museum has requested is about 8 percent of its current budget.
Ernest Coleman, the county's federal funds
adviser, said the County Commission would further discuss the request today.
UNLIKE THE OTHER services mentioned, the Rape Victim Support Service, a Douglas County rape counseling group, does not need new laws, said Edith Guffey, director of the service.
The museum is one of more than 20 organizations seeking a share of the funds.
alcohol_taxes and private foundations and donations, Smith said.
Coleman said the county would not know the amount of federal revenue sharing funds to be distributed for 1984 until later this summer. He estimated that the county would receive revenue sharing funds for 1983 was about $30,000.
IF THE LEVEL of national funds remains the same and if the formula used for allocating the funds does not change, Coleman said, the county will receive about the same amount of funds in 1984.
Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said, however, that the revenue sharing act had not been renewed for 1984 and that it was uncertain whether they would be available for revenue sharing in 1984.
The service wants volunteers to stay for one year. Guffey said.
Guffey said that the group offered crisis counseling for victims of sexual assault and an
The service takes volunteers once a year. People go through one day of training when they join the support group, and then volunteers meet every Thursday night for two hours, as long as
that they assisted them in going to the hospital or to the police.
A representative from the service also speaks to groups on both preventing and dealing with abuse.
PEOPLE INTERESTED in working for any of the Lawrence services can contact Volunteer Services.
There are no set workings hours for the service but both Headquarters and KU Information contact Rape Victim Support Service personnel and refer any victim to them, Guffey said.
This group keeps track of about 50 services in Lawrence that use volunteers on a regular basis and refers people to services that need help, Butler said.
Gunman steals 'Return of the Jedi' from Overland Park projectionist
By United Press International
OVERLAND PARK — A gumman held a film projectionist hostage for two hours yesterday and forced him to hand over a 70mm print of "Return of the Jedi."
Overland Park police Lt. Phil Barbour said the gunman got away with the film, valued at between $7,000 and $12,000, in seven metal cases.
Barbour said projectionist John J. Smith told authorities he was leaving the Glenwood Theatre shortly after midnight yesterday and pulled him in the parking lot and milled a rum.
Once inside, Smith said the gumman told him to rewind the film on seven transport reels. After the hour-long task was completed, he was forced to help the gumman carry the canisters to the parking lot. He was then ordered back into the theatre and ordered not to call anyone for 20 minutes. Smith called police about 2:15 a.m.
to the parking lot and waited for the movie house to clear.
Police said they believed the movie was stolen to make illegal copies for sale. But Frank McGowan, a branch manager for 20th Century Fox, told me that he made a quality copy, from a 70mm print.
Smith said he and the man went into the theatre, but when the gunman saw the building still was occupied, the pair returned
Theatre officials said they obtained an extra copy of the movie and it was shown as scheduled yesterday.
