It's 2 a.m. The phone rings. Who is calling, and why?
AT Headquarters, Inc., Lawrence's drug abuse and personal crisis center, this call could be from someone planning to take steps that perhaps from someone who only needs some community information
Headquarters provides a 4-hour hotline and walk-in service for people who need information or help in resolving personal problems, according to Evie Unkefler, director of Headquarters.
The main goal at Headquarters is to help people find their own answers, Unkeer said, and to help them explore other alternatives and new directions towards settling their personal problems.
"Many times we just provide a
dare or a listening ear to an
individual who is depressed or in
need of a friend," she said.
walk-in services were run almost entirely by volunteers, and that included about 1,600 telephone calls a month.
Of these calls, 1,100 provide some sort of service. The other 500 are
In 1971 Headquarters averaged 185 calls a month.
calls by Headquarters personnel, she said.
Alan Johnson, director of the Headquarters' Douglas County Drug Abuse and Deterrent Program, attributed the increase in calls to greater personal and community awareness of the services Headquarters provides. Muskit, a volunteer worker at the Headquarters January, said most of the calls during the day were from people who needed information about the University or Lawrence community, and that the calls at night were the ones that usually dealt with personal problems.
Muskit said she had found the work to be enjoyable and satisfying.
"I enjoy talking to people and I have learned a great deal since I've been answering the hottie," experience for any type of person."
Unkeder said working on the hotline involved working with people and their problems. These include suicides, depression, loneliness, suicide, depression, loneliness.

She said Headquarters also provided an information service that dealt with such things as employment, legal and medical runaways, birth control, health and other community affairs.
If headquarters can't handle a problem or situation they can find someone who can through their referral system, Uneka said.
She said Headquarters worked with many different community and professional organizations in order to ensure that duty was to be coordinator to
provide services to those individuals who needed them.
"If a person was evicted from his home, we could provide shelter here at Headquarters," she said, "and by working with other companies we could find possible employment, food and clothing."

The festival reached its peak Saturday night, when more than 500 people gathered around the bark-covered log stage.
Old-time music
It was a time for socializing and for fiddle-picking at the Paola Fall Bluegrass Festival and Arts and Crafts Fair this weekend.
Paola tunes in to bluegrass fair
weekend, and many families travel many miles to hear this distinct brand of music.
By RICK GRABILL Special to the Kansan
PAOLA-Traveling largely in trailers and pickup camper units, they started rolling into this small, rural eastern Kansas community of 5.000 late Friday afternoon.
from as far away as California and Georgia, families and loners alike came here for the three-day affair to hear the sounds of the Battlefield Bluegrass Express, the Bluegrass Attack, The Calton Family, the Bluegrass Association and others.
As the sun inched towards the western horizon, the campsters were hurriedly set up in lower Wallace Park as the first sounds of music emitted from the Old Time Fiddlers contest which was just beginning on the stage.
The occasion: The Paola Fall Bluegrass Festival and Arts and Crafts Fair. From October 13-15, 2016 at Cedar Park Country Club in San Diego, California.
Dusk settled into night, and the singing and music continued as more campers and children were brought in.
A wide variety of people were drawn to Paola by the festival. Bearded "long-hairs" and tobacco-chewing cowboy types mingled together and shared bluegrass talk.
BECAUSE THERE was no seating around the stage, campers spread blankets on the ground and set up lawn chairs beneath the hickory, cottonwood and oak trees, and settled down for a weekend of some good old time "fiddlin', 'n pickin'".
UNLKE MOST brands of music,
bluegrass is not electrified. A banjo, guitar,
mandolin, fiddle and bass are the only in-
come to give bluegrass its "down home"
flavor.
Many people have the idea that bluegrass and country-western music are the same. This idea leaves the dyed-in-the-wool bluegrass fan doing a slow burn.
Actually, bluegrass is the "hillbilly" type music you might hear in the hills of Tennessee and Kentucky, with some country-western music thrown in for spice.
The event in Paola over the weekend was one of many festivals on the summer bluerasre run in Kansas. Missouri and Wisconsin are also hosting a festival somewhere in the area on any
The sponsors of bluegrass festivals have a strict rule prohibiting alcohol and drugs on the grounds, and for the most part the rule is followed. Though two policemen roamed among the evening performances, there wasn't a tint of trouble the entire weekend.
Promised pardons withheld, Time says
Sports set curriculum budget, chancellor says
"It is perhaps unfair to say that the public judges a university by the performance of a winning public reaction," a winning team produces a generally favorable public reaction," he said. "The team, like it or not, sets the tone for everything from budget to curriculum.
Dykes told the conference, which was sponsored by the Kansas State Department of Education, that the University had a law requiring taxpayers who created and maintained it.
"Your personal philosophy, or mine, concerning the proper place of athletics in a most major American university today intercollegiate athletics, especially football and basketball, are an important vehicle of the relationship between the school and the general public."
Dykes spoke to the 25th Annual Conference for Guidance and Pupil personnel Services at Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia.
WASHINGTON—Former President
Washington, Nixon promised to pardon as-
former Obama for the war.
In speaking on "Building Bridges to the Public," he said there were six ways in which the University communicated with the public.
Athletic teams set the tone for discussion of everything from budget to curriculum, Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said in a speech Friday night.
From the Associated Press
Senators who didn't vote at the Regalia party Friday night can vote Wednesday, Pat Sopit, chairman of the HOPE Award Committee.
"THE OPEN DOOR policy at KU means that professional reporters can gain access to the Chancellor and other top officials at almost any hour of the day or night—by telephone or in person," he said. "Student reporters have the same kind of access."
the festival took on a slight tinge of a
Seniors still have time to vote for finalists for the 1974 HOPE Award.
Balloting still open for HOPE Award
Dykes said KU faculty and staff, who participated in community affairs, also were using the open doors of communication.

Award is given annually to a faculty member by the senior class
Semifinalists were chosen last week from nominations of more than 500 senators. The 10 faculty members most frequently
Five finalists will be named following the close of balloting on Wednesday. Seniors will vote once more to select the winner who will be announced Oct. 19 at halftime of the KU-Nebraska football game.
Soptic said a table would be available in Wescell Hall on the east side of the fourth floor from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday for those who would prefer this.
Communication through the student news media is a second way the University uses its online resources.
Soptic said seniors wouldn't be required to pay class dues or pay a fee to vote.
Voting for the finalists was extended so that more seniors than were at the party Friday night could participate. Sootic said.
THE HOPE Award semifinalists are: Allan J. Ciger, assistant professor of political science; Jess H. McNish, adjunct professor of business; Donald E. Metzler, professor of civil engineering; Donald A. Hollingsworth, professor of design; Calder M. Pickett, professor of journalism; David Quadagao, associate professor of physiology and cell biology; John Senior, professor of comparative literature; Lawrence A. Madison, associate professor of business; Charles F. Sidman, professor of history, and Lee F. Young, assistant professor of journalism.
"A completely free and unencrosed student press, hazardous though it might be, is a communication tool of great value to the modern university." Dykes said.

"The Chancellor of a university, like it or not, commands attention of the news media by virtue of his position. By his utterances he signals that he is interested in a university," Dykes said. "He must be prepared to answer questions on almost every conceivable subject; rarely will no one have an answer."
A THIRD WAY of communicating is found in the administrative offices, Dykes机
The offices of the Chancellor, University Relations, the Alumni Association, the Endowment Association and the International Association of communication activity, he said.
He said intercollegiate athletics was the fourth channel of communication.
He said KANU-FM, the student radio station, not only reported the news, but also broadcasted music, lectures, plays and other University events.
Communication through teaching is a fifth channel to the public. Dvkes said.
"Iif his instruction is of poor quality or if his official role at the University is poorly organized, then the story he tells to his students will not be taken. He makes the reputation of his school," he said.
Blindness doesn't handicap KU student's independence
He said the impression that a faculty member left on students, community organizations and the news media reflected on the University.
Dykes said a sixth way of communicating for public universities was through political channels. The state agency most involved in the case is Kansas is the Board of Resents, he said.
A full-time student, Gutierrez lives several blocks east of the University, walks to campus each day without assistance and works in layout of the campus almost mastered.
"I TRY TO be alert and take notice of anything that will aid me in finding a location, from a crack in the sidewalk to a tree or a sign or even the texture of the sidewalk. he said, "I don't count my steps. If I did, I would have a wrecked mind."
Ehrlichman, once Nixon's domestic counselor, was indicted on one count of conspiring to obstruct justice, one count of obstruction of justice, one count of lying to FBI agents and two counts of lying to a grand jury.
THE REPORT in Newsweek quoted an unnamed source as saying, "They can tie Nixon into the planning of the break-in. That's the bottom line."
Jose G. Luierrez, Kansas City Klan,
junior, came to the University of Kansas
at Rutgers. He was a graduate.
"I don't care how big the university was," he said, "I thought I could get around if I wanted to."
But Gutierrez wasn't the typical lost freshman roaming around campus with a bewildered look on his face. Gutierrez is blind.

His goal of entering the law profession isn't all that wild, either. He had met several blind lawyers who told him they functioned just like any other attorney.
Gutierrez means what he says. Law school is his goal. He is majoring in Spanish.
"I never really thought my handicap
play any part in holding me back in
anything."
Haldeman, a former chief of staff to Nixon, was indicted on one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, one count of injustice and three counts of perjury.
"They didn't take much consideration for the handicapped when they built the building."
Blindness, isn't the only handicap Gutierrez has faced in his lifetime. Born in Donna, Tex., to Mexican parents, he spoke only Spanish until he was 5 years old.

Haldeman and Ehrlichman face trial Oct 1 in connection with the coverup.
The report also quoted a "knowledgeable prosecution证据" as saying that new evidence, including newly received White House tape, showed that Nikon knew the intelligence unit was prepared to undertake hacking of computer wiresetts. Hail told the Associated Press.
Time quoted one associate of the two as saying, "It's possible that Nixon turned his back on Haldeman and Ehrlichman because his own pardon deal was set, and he didn't want to queer it by pardoning them at the last minute."
Ford pardoned Nixon Sept. 8.
source close to Leon Jaworski, special prosecutor, said in saying that Nixon knew in advance about the covert campaign in 1968 that conducted the Watergate break-in.
And in related developments, a broad "house cleaning" of White House aides appointed by Nixon is expected this week. The president's staff shifts by President Gerald R. Ford, R.
"You don't have anything to worry about," Time quoted Nixon as telling Haldenman and Ehrlichman when they met on April 29, 1973. "I'll take care of you."
BOTH MEN again approached Nixon for pardons just before he resigned Aug. 8, but he never did so.
Time said the pardon promise came hours before Nixon persuaded Haldeman and Ezekiel to accept the face of mounting charges related to the then-uraveling Watergate coverup.
Haig told the Associate Press he expected his resignation to be followed by that

Bright prospects
Don Fambour found out quite a bit Saturday as his University of Kansas team beat Washington State, 14-7. He found out that the ground attack could move the ball, plining up 339 yards. He also found out his team could run the offense and will be even better as time goes on. See Page 6.
