Headquarters never closes
By Carla Krause
Kansan staff writer
The doors of Headquarters Inc, the crisis-cameling center downtown, opened 18 and a half years ago, and its staff is still busy.
! Mike Harnish, administrative assistant at Headquarters, said that since the center was open 24 hours a day, it is now possible to go to work.
"As far as I know, we're the oldest continually

operating phone and walk-in counseling center in the country." Harnish said.
The center, at 1419 Massachusetts St., was originally a drug crisis center, providing counseling and information.
Harnish said that only about 5 percent of the center's contacts were drug related now and that the staff was being trained to avoid the risk.
"Old images and stereotypes die hard," Harnish said. "When people hear 'Headquarters,' they automatically see the truth."
The center deals with a wide range of situations, everything from referrals to suicide attempts.
Harnish said that the first thing the staff was trained to do when talking to a person in immediate danger, such as a suicide caller, was to determine how dangerous the situation was.
The first thing is to check out the lethality of the situation. find out if the suicide cutter has a plan or not.
The staff member might then take steps to ensure the person's safety by calling the police, the hospital, or
When a battered woman calls the center, a staff member will make sure that she is out of immediate danger. If not, she will go to the station. There, she will meet a staff member from the Women's Transitional Care Service, the battered woman's shelter at an undisclosed location in Lawrence. If that staff member is there, she will be able to visit the two women will leave for the shelter together.
Although staff members are trained to deal with such situations, the staff encourages callers to contact an advisor or a supervisor.
Harmnish, 38, has worked at the center for nine years, and until two years ago, he was also working at the Bert school. He said that he began working at Headquarters when he learned that of his hometown friends had committed suicide.

I had toyed with the idea of working there for a long time. Harnish said. "I guess their deaths shook me off my heart."

KENWOOD
HIGH-QUALITY 4 COMPONENT IN-DASH AM/FM STEREO CASSETTE
Convenience
- Radio station frequencies can be selected in either direction, by turning large tuning knob. MANUAL TUNING is best for selecting a specific frequency. AUTO SEek locates nearest listenable station
- 16 FM and 8 AM STATION PRESETS locate favorite stations quickly.
- PRESET SCAN samples preset stations one after the other for five seconds each allowing drivers to preview favorite stations without taking their hands from the wheel.
- AUTO MEMORY ENTRY enters 8 consecutive strong stations into selected band—very useful when driving into an unfamiliar area.
- STEREO broadcast indicator.
- STEREO broadcast indicator.
* MONO switch combines channels to make a weak or noisy station more listenable.
- LCD DIGITAL FREQUENCY CLOCK selected displayed station or time of day
**AUTO-REVERSE** plays cassettes continuously in both directions without turning them over. Change tape direction at the touch of a button. All Kenwood indash models use a 4-channel head, instead of a shifting or rotating 2-channel head, to provide the widest frequency response in both directions.
*TAPE ADVANCE*, touching FF or REW key, cassette speeds to beginning of next recording in either direction and starts playback
TUNER CALL automatically plays last tuned radio station while cassette is in FF, REW or even TAPE ADVANCE mode.

- BACKLIT CONTROLS and FULL STATUS DISPLAYS are easy to see day or night.
Performance
- QUARTZ-SYNTHESIZED tuner makes it easy to select stations because signals are electronically tuned to exact center of each allocated frequency. It's the most advanced tuning circuit available today.
* PHASE LOCKED LOOP (PLL) circuit monitors broadcast frequencies to prevent drift.
- ANRC IV (Automatic Noise Reduction Circuit)—a KENWOOD exclusive—monitors incoming signal and automatically, undetectably decreases stereo separation and frequency response as necessary to keep objectionable noise to a minimum at all times and to provide stable reception even when signal strength and quality fluctuate widely. ("Picket fence" noise, also called multipath distortion, is caused when buildings reflect broadcast signals or cause them to fade in and out). Selectivity is even higher than with ANRIC II. Dolby™ B suppresses high frequency tape hiss, reduces noise and improves high-frequency fidelity when used to play back cassettes recorded with the same noise reduction circuitry.
- Higher fidelity (40Hz to 16KHz) of METAL ($\mathrm{CRO}_3$) and all other high-bias tapes can be appreciated by using high bias circuit for playback.
- LOUDNESS circuit provides better tonal balance by increasing bass frequencies at low volume levels. Effect is automatically reduced as volume increased.
STEREO AMPLIFIER provides 40 watts maximum power, 10 W/Ch at less than 1% THD.
