Watkins orientation gets mixed reviews
Special to the Kansan
By Erin Gothard
This summer, for the first time,
Watkins Memorial Health Center
officials conducted informational
interviews with patients and
their parents during orientation.
The 30-minute sessions, designed to educate students and their parents about services available at Watkins, were presented in a four-part slide show that focused on Watkins, alcohol, sex and stress.
Janie Demo, coordinator for the department of health education at Watkins, said she hoped the program would be more familiar with Watkins' services.
"Before we had only talked to the parents, and because the students are the ones who use Watkins, we had told seminars for them." Demo said
The sessions received mixed reviews from students.
"I think it was very beneficial because I never had any experience making my own doctor's appointments," said Teresa DeSem, St. Louis, Mo., freshman."This kind of helped me get general information so I feel better about just walking in the door."
However, some students like Christy Shirk, Columbia, Mo., freshman, said the sessions were not especially helpful.
"I'd rather be registering for classes right now," Shirk said.
Parents who attended the sessions, which were optional for those attending the orientation program, said
they were impressed by the Watkins presentation.
"I think that it ought to be mandatory for the students," said John Kite of St. Francis.
His wife, Elain Kite, agreed. "I hope that our daughter elects to choose this session," she said.
Judy Harrison of Wichita was another parent who said she was glad she had attended the session.
The students and parents learned that Watkins provides more than general medical treatment.
Watkins offers a variety of other services to students, including allergy treatment, diabetes clinics, gynecology services, laboratory testing, health education services, a mental health clinic and a pharmacy.
Many of these services are covered by student campus fees paid by students who are enrolled in more than six academic hours per semester. Students are charged discounted rates for some services.
Watkins is open for walk-in appointments from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. On weekends, students must pay a $15 fee for services after noon on Saturday and all day Sunday. Emergency care is also available for a $15 fee from 4:30 to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Professionals from the Watkins department of health education are available to answer students' health questions and to present programs to health-related topics ranging from depression to eating disorders.

KU group seeking environmental awareness
By Jennifer Hoeffner
Special to the Kansan
The yellow recycling bins in KU buildings are perhaps the most visible evidence of Environs work, but the group has often avoided the environment in other ways.
Founded in 1984, Environis is a KU group that promote environmental awareness and awareness programs.
Members of Enviros and the Student Senate last fall formed a recycling task force. In January the task force established an aluminum recycling program and the Senate signed a contract with a local company to recycle the cans.
Johnny Leuthold, a member of Environs, said the group was instrumental in promoting the recycling program. It organized a publicity campaign that included students and reminders on classroom chalkboards.
United Recycling of Lawrence, 903 N Third St., has contracted to pick up the aluminum cans on campus. According to a task force report, United Recycling will continue to collect the cans through the 1990-91 school year.
Environers also made a survey on the use of recycled paper on campus, Leathold said.
ested departments information on how to order recycled paper.
The project increased the number of departments that used recycled paper, he
He said the majority of departmental chairmen expressed willingness to switch their roles.
Promoting education and awareness is another goal for Environs. Leubhold said.
"It's not so much that you think you can change what everyone else does, but you clue in to how to do things right yourself," he said. "One of the important things that behaviors are environmentally correct and which ones are destructive."
Diana Dickerson, wildlife education committee chairman, said Environrs began an educational program in 14 local grade schools last year.
Enviroms members talked to fifth grade students to encourage them to help the earth.
She said the organization also made available to the public information about the company.
A resource center in the Kansas Union was opened last fall to offer students environmental information Dickerson on the center would be available this year.
Environs publishes several newsletters each semester, Leuthold said. The newsletters are available at Environs meetings and contain information about environmental issues, progress reports and tips to help the environment.
Leuthold said the group helped organize the Earth Day celebration in April. Participated in the planning and set up information booths in South Park, he said.
"Earth Day was really a victory for us," Dickerson said. "A lot of groups were involved, but Environurs really put a lot of energy into it."
Dickerson said it was satisfying to be a member of Environs.
"You feel rewarded almost immediately," she said. "Enviros has so many victories. Some of them are slow in coming, but if you're willing to get in there and help out, I think you can get a lot of gratification out of it."
