only visitors can stay at Headquarters for two days and while there must follow few simple rules,
"No alcohol or drugs of any kind are allowed on the premises, and visitors aren't to interfere with the regular operations of the facilities."
Undefer said that volunteers were one of the main reasons for the success of the Hunker hotline service, and that interviews were being arranged for interested individuals.
If an applicant is accepted they must complete a 40-hour training program that covers such things as suicide prevention, depression, loneliness, sexual problems and problems with friends, family or school, she said.
The training program takes place on weekends, she said, and entails lectures, seminars and demonstrations by professionals within these fields. Role-playing development of listening skills are also essential aspects of the training, she said.
For instance, in a case that involves suicide, volunteers are taught to assess the severity of a situation.
This involves determining whether the individual has already tried to commit
suicide or whether he has the means at hand to do so, she said.
"If the person has an actual plan we take these calls a little bit more serious than those calls where the individual seems to be planning it on the sour of the moment."
Unkefer said that in cases involving such things as severe depression, volunteers tried to comfort the caller and help him feel confident in seeking professional help.
"Once we find out where the person is, we send some people over to help."
Volunteers are on their own when they work the hotline and must handle situations in the best way they think possible, Unkefer said.
"We try to have two people answering the phones at all times," she said.
All calls, whether for information or for personal problems, are kept strictly confidential.
"Part of our philosophy is that all calls are anonymous." she said
Johnson said that it was for this reason that it was almost impossible to determine whether a person was a student or just someone in the Lawrence community.

"Deep down underneath it all I'm really excited that people from all walks of life can sit down, communicate and effect changes better in the area of human relations."
However, he said there were times when he thought that he could have handled a telephone call better or done a better job following up on a problem.
Unkefer said. "We don't know what we
have done directly because of the anonymous nature of the program, but with all the time we have put into it we've had to accomplish something."
The record system, called the Student Record Information System, will be used by the KU Medical Center computer for keeping track of students on both campuses, Maita, albach, director of student admissions and records at the Med Center, said recently.
Recorded grades not always final
The University of Kansas will buy new student record computer programs with a $50,000 grant from the KU Endowment Association, according to KU officials.
Faculty members at the University of Kansas have the right and ability to change the grades of students—even after graduation.
In addition, Thomas A. Gorton, dean of the School of Fine
Art, said, "I can't see why a teacher would want to change a
Grade."
The procedure used is standard throughout the University. The same form is used for giving a grade for an incomplete. The form is signed by the faculty member and by the chairman of the department in which the course was taught.
But students needn't worry about grades being lowered at the whim of a faculty member,
This policy has been developed from a statement in Rules and Regulations of the University Senate that states, "No change in a grade shall be made after it is filed with the Registrar except upon the written request of the faculty member in charge of the course and with the approval of the chairperson of the department. The permission to correct a degree may be made only when necessary to correct a clerical error."
After that the form goes through the dean's office and then to the registrar.
There is no time limit on when a faculty member can change a grade, but in most cases there are so many checks and councils that it can be hard to find one.
The new student record system will enable the University to keep better track of students, delibbach said, because student information is more accessible through the new system.
Most deans reached recently said that grades could be assigned only for extraordinary reasons, in most cases as students with special needs.

KU to purchase record system
Policies on what happens at the dean's office vary, however. Policies in schools, such as the School of Business, approval is optional.
But in other schools, such as the School of Journalism and the School of Fine Arts, the matter must be checked and approved by the
He said the only circumstances for a grade change he could imagine would be when there had been a clerical error, when there was extra work later performed by a student or if there were odd circumstances such as a lost or misplaced test or paper.
"I think a change of grade would have to be well-documented." Gorton said.
George R. Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that grades usually were changed because of a clerical error. He said that a student could petition for a change to his grade if he be made only when there had been exceptional circumstances.
Don Metzler, associate dean of the School of Engineering, said trades were changed, but that he had never known they were lowered.
Some of the deans said that if a student disagreed with a grade change, he could always petition to the University Judiciary Department.
Edward R. Bassett, dean of the School of Journalism, said that grades should be changed only with the approval of the dean.
One of the goals of the new records system will be a reduction in the number of people needed to run registration and payroll. The office is the executive secretary to the chancellor, said
An objective of the system is to reduce the volume of human errors characterized by manually pulling class cards, controlling enrolments, auditing schedules and computing fees, according to a paper outlining the system's goals.
The new system is a step towards computerized enrollment. Von Ende said, but it has not been made available yet.
"Enrollment is enrollment," he said. "We could do the same thing in March that we do today."
The system will maintain complete records of prospects, applicants, students, alumni, courses, faculty and facilities, Von Ende said.
The $50,000 grant should pay for the system, which will probably be bought in sections for different schools. But Von Ende taught at a university. The university spent $100,000 on a similar system.
Both Von Ende and Jelbach said they weren't sure when the new system would
Student information in the current computer program has to be renewed every three or four months, Jehimbach said, but the new system will be able to hold the information after students have become alumni.
Funeral services for Prof.Black will be Saturday
Miss Black was known for many years as KU's No. 1 basketball fan. She rarely missed a KU home game in more than 45 years.
Florence Black, professor emerita of mathematics at the University of Kansas, died Friday night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Miss Black taught at KU from 1918 until her retirement in 1960. She graduated from the University in 1913. She received her M.A. in 1921 and her Ph.D. in 1926.
She was on the Scholarship Committee for 20 years and was secretary of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences faculty for 19 years.
Miss Black was honored last year by the Commission on the Status of Women as a member of the KU Faculty Women Hall of Fame.
Miss Black is survived by two nieces, Mrs. Gillie Spooner, Madison, Wis., and Mrs. Marvin Taylor, La Jolla, Calif., and a nephew, Mrs. Black Glencoe, Ill.
Funeral arrangements are being handled by Rumsey Funeral Home.

Direction, recommendations concern of athletic group
The Kansas University Athletic Corporation (KUAC) Study Group met Saturday to determine the direction the Study Group would take and to review several recommendations made to them by Chancellor Archie R. Dykes.
Charles Oldfather, chairman of the KUAC Study Group, said Saturday the group made no specific recommendations but did go over the charge and its five items and attempted to identify all of the items that must be worked upon.
The KUAC Study Group, a special committee of students, faculty, athletic board members and alumni, was appointed in early July by Chancellor Dykes to study the KUAC and make recommendations for changes by Oct. 1.
The five items of concern to the study group were to make recommendations on the relationship of the KUAC to the University; the KUAC by-laws; the KUAC bylaws; and the meetings of the Athletic Board should be open to the press and public; the assignment of physical facilities to the KUAC, and the composition of a board of directors
based on faculty, student and alumni constituencies.
J. Hammond McNish, facuat representative, said the most important issue to be settled by the group was to create better understanding by students and faculty of the nature and duties of the Athletic Corporation.
"I think there's a basic misconception about the Athletic Corporation," he said, "and when you are understanding, I think a lot of people will feel better.
McNish said there was a similar misconception by the faculty that funds added to athletics subtracted the same amount from the education side. He said the Study Group was out to clear up such misunderstandings.
"For example, when someone tries to get a scholarship and has an actual need for it, and gets turned down and then sees a doctor's son get an athletic scholarship program, the athletic system for taking away money from him that he thinks he could have had."
