Heroin addicts find help in Watkins drug program
By DENNIS ELLSV Reportor
"I'm hooked on heroin and I want to get off. Can you help me?"
Since January 1972, three physicians at Watkins Memorial Hospital have been able to answer similar questions from heroin and narcotics cases.
Raymond Schweigler, staff physician at the hospital, said the Methadone Clinic was established at the urging of the University of Kansas Student Senate and was originally funded by the Senate.
The program, which uses methadone to deter addicts' appetite for heroin, also leads to addiction to methadone itself, said Schwegler, one of three physicians at the hospital who are certified to administer the treatment.
Gradual withdrawal of the methadone concludes the program's treatment. Schweiger said.
"This is far from the perfect answer," he said. "A determined individual could withdraw on heroin by reducing the dosage taken of it, without resorting to methadone, which serves to soften the withdrawal."
Schweigler said the Senate started the program and funded it knowing that most of its clients wouldn't be KU students.
"The students often seem to be more aware of social problems than others are," he said.
The clinic originally was used by 10 to 15 persons at a time, Schweiler said.
Presently, he said, clients at the clinic number from two to nine.
About a year after the program began, the city took an active role in its funding. Initially $1,000 each year was provided so that the clinic wouldn't have to refuse help to those who needed it. Over the years, it cost $1,000 because of the reduction of clients in the program, he said.
Each time a patient visits the clinic he is charged $2, Schweegler said.
If the patient can't pay the fee, then the money the city provides is used to meet the costs of laboratory expenses. The salaries of the staff members who administer the treatment are University and aren't figured separately from their other duties.
"Federal funds have never been used or applied for in connection with the Methadone Clinic," Schweiger said.
He said that the program was reviewed informally almost daily by the staff members.
He said that getting people off of heroin, at least for a while, and reducing thefts by those who needed money to support their families was important.
Equality Day celebrated here
"Though the sum total of results from treatment isn't very encouraging, if we salvage one youngster, then that's worth our efforts."
Women's Equality Day was celebrated at the University of Kansas with an open session.
Casey Eike, assistant to the dean of women, said the KU Women's Resource and Career Planning Center in 222 Strong had materials available to students on career planning, academic advising, counseling and research.
Equality Day, proclaimed by President Gerald R. Ford, was the 54th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which gave women the right to vote.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes referred to Equality Day in his convocation speech
"It is particularly appropriate," he said, that "we rededicate ourselves to the elimination of all remaining vestiges of discrimination that stand in the way of the fullest utilization of the talents and abilities of all our people."
U. S. Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., took note of Equitia Day in a campaign appearance in Missouri.
Dale said he was pleased to observe the increasing number of women taking active roles in the workplace.

Working professional engineers now can continue to update their engineering skills because of a new program offered this fall at the University of Kansas School of Engineering.
Engineers with a bachelor of science degree may enroll in any four courses: computer engineering, engineering, mini-computers, operational amplifiers and mechanical system design.
Working engineers offered degree
All are offered in the evening at Johnson County Community College, according to Ronald Klein, associate professor of electrical engineering.
The new program, which was approved by the Board of Regents this summer, was designed to provide professionals with review and updated technology innovations which may have
A Professional Development degree is available after the completion of 50 continuing education units. It is the first degree at the University to be structured in continuing education units rather than residence credit hours.
occurred since they completed their forma education."
The P.D. degree is a graduate degree, but isn't designed to replace a master's or doctorate in engineering, Klein said. It is intended to complement other formal degrees. Engineers with master's or doctorate degree still are eligible for the degree.
Klein, the coordinator of the degree program, said yesterday that a survey was distributed to engineers and industries in the Kansas City area two years ago to
determine the demand for updating courses for working engineers.
Response was good, he said, and the engineering school and the department of continuing education began budgeting and co-ordinating a tentative program.
Four members of FUK's engineering faculty, George Forman, professor of mechanical engineering; Hildreut Unlz, professor of electrical engineering; Dale I. Rummer and Don Daugherty, associate professors of electrical engineering, will travel to Johnson County Community College to teach the courses
Ken Lenzen, professor of civil engineering, will be the administrator of the program, according to Klein, and appraise it for the courses should be made to Lenzen.
Separation saved our marriage thanks to Marantz speakers.
"Where's the flute Henry?" my wife complained constantly. I was about ready to read her. Then we removed a Marantz dealer. He told us that separation of sound is a true test of a speaker system. He suggested we put Marantz and
sounds that are as pleasing as a nibble on the ear.
Other popup speakers to the test by listening for ourselves that would be able to hear for ourselves that it's the spelling record recording that makes the difference. Oh, what a difference Maranzt made! What we thought were two obes who were clearly an obese and one who was sitting on a shop quartet, well, they're really a quintet.
Bought the Marantz imperial GS Two Way Speaker $99. Perfect for our budget and it delivers fine sound on even with minimum power equipment. And there are many Marantz speaker models starting as low as $59 and all are available with the new Marantz acoustically transparent foam grill
The proof is in the listening And that's where Maranzart design concepts come into play. The transducer in Maranzart speakers allows you to capture the motion of continuous power, so you get distortion-free sound.
Whatever your power and budget requirements, keep in mind the heart of Marantz speaker systems are built by the people who designed them. The stereo and 4-channel equipment in the Marantz series is...
