Headquarters Seeks Co-Director
By STEVE SEIBEL
Kansan Staff Writer
Headquarters Inc. might be using funds granted by the United Fund to hire another full-time paid administrator, according to a study by students at a student and director of Headquarters.
"Right now we're seeking the funds to hire another person to share the administrator's responsibility," Silber said recently.
Headquarters, which rents a two-story frame house at 1632 Kentucky St., is open 24 hours a day to anyone needing help with a problem or a place to stay for the night.
Siber, the only full-time paid member of the Headquarters staff, said the group has received a grant from the United Fund. Silber this grant from the United Fund would be approximately a third of next year's budget and was the first outside help Headquarters
HE SAID THE extra full-time employee would share his responsibilities as director. According to Silber, the new employee might be in charge of soliciting support from the community and might supervise the training of new helpers.
Although Headquarters has always been funded by donations from people in the Lawrence community, Silber said he an-
gled the University to establish the University of Kansas Student Senate.
He said that the outside help would be needed since Headquarters' budget had risen from $14,000 to $24,000 in the past year. The number of calls received by Headquarters has tripled and the number of helpers doubled.
George Livingston, Plainville graduate
student and volunteer counselor at
Heardquarters, said that of the
three students, two were UWU faculty.
"I would estimate that about 80 per cent of our help is from KU, but lately there has been an increase in older people helping here," Livingston said.
He said that it was surprising how many older people were calling in for help now, but he wasn't sure if they were really there.
LIVINGSTON SAID he thought Headquarters was receiving more calls because more people knew about them now than when it was first started.
Silber also said Headquarters worked in personal crisis aid. He said a personal crisis might be a personal problem, an institutional problem or a social problem. He said that Headquarters also tried to treat depression or anxiety, "such as depression or anxiety."
ONE PROJECT IN which Headquarters is currently involved is the drug analysis program. Individuals in this program samples of drugs for quantification analysis. He emphasized that Headquarters usually did not try to determine what type of drug was present and had bad effect it might have on the individual.
Silber said that about 100 people a month contacted Headquarters for drug information. In addition, Headquarters provide drug crisis aid for individuals on a bad trip or overdose, he said. Silber said that Headquarters averaged about two to
three people a night looking for a place to stay overnight.
Silber said that 60 people had already gone through a 50-hour training program to become helpers at Headquarters, and about 50 others were working on different tasks. For the community, 25 people from the community were serving as consultants and directors, he said.
Headquarters is currently looking for more helpers to be trained over the midsemester break. Silber said that during the next two or three weeks he would interview anyone who might be interested in helping at Headquarters.
SILBER SAID THAT most of the helpers worked about five to ten hours a week.
Health Post Nominations Due Today
Today is the deadline for nominations for a new director of Student Health Services, James Rosser, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and chairman of the health director search committee, said Thursday.
Rosser said that more than 20 nominations already had been received.
The search committee was formed in October after Dr. Raymond A. Schwegler, president of the board, past seven years, announced his plans to retire this June. Rosser said that letters announcing the vacancy and minimum requirements for applicants were sent out on Friday.
A subcommittee headed by Dr. James Campbell, Watkins physician, was established to survey present staff members of the Student Health Services to determine qualities and characteristics of a good health director.
The information compiled by Dr. Campbell was presented at a meeting of the health director search committee Thursday night. Rosser said.
"The survey," he said, "gave us some insight into areas we had not yet discussed in determining criteria for the new health director."
The survey will be used to set up a
searching and choosing
candidates for the post.
Rosser said that the search committee would meet again next week to finalize an evaluation system and to set up a schedule for preliminary screening of applicants.
