Kicks aimed at the smoking habit
By MARY HUDDLESTON
Staff Writer
Last night, approximately 40 people attended a meeting for those who want to kick the smoking habit but haven't been able to on their own.
The meeting was the introductory session for a free smoking clinic offered by the department of psychology from Oct. 13 to Dec. 15, and the third six-month follow-up program are offered.
The clinic is being conducted by Charles Elliott, a Ph.D. candidate in clinical psychology. Elliott will use the clinic's results in his doctoral dissertation.
Elliott said he hoped to learn what types of personalities responded to what types of treatment and what treatments worked best together.
Six different treatments will be used, all of which have been effective in past research, according to Evelyn Cape, senior and research assistant for the project.
Elliot wouldn't disclare the nature of the treatments because, he said, each person receives a different combination of treatment and the results aren't the same for everyone.
At the meeting he asked that people not discuss their own treatments.
Elliott declined to comment on the past success of the treatments because the combinations he's using will change the rate of their effectiveness, he said.
To anticipate the success of this clinic in cutting down smoking would violate the research methodology, Elliott said. If people knew that Elliott was expecting a certain percentage of success, they would have been surprised by their results fit that percentage he said.
Participants are required to attend every treatment session and to keep track how much they smoke to insure the accuracy of the findings.

five dollars and one for $15. Each week that a participant attends all three sessions, one of the five dollars checks is returned to him. The other checks are returned after the six month follow-up period.
Some of the treatments involve physical discomfort, Elliott said, but each individual is allowed to determine how much discomfort he wants to endure.
All treatments are explained first and a participant is never asked to do something at home.
There is no pressure on how much a participant must cut down on his smoking.
"You can quit cold turkey or cut down by two cigarettes a week," he said.
The treatment sessions last from 30 minutes to one hour and 15 minutes. They
run from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in Fraser Hall. Eight to 10 persons are in each session.
Ron Koehn, Peabody academy who helped organize the clinic, said he hoped it would draw 100 participants. Two introductory meetings last week drew about 25 persons each night, he said, because they weren't very well publicized.
Elliott said he would probably have another introductory meeting next week.
Most of the audience at last night's meeting appeared to be students.
Nancy Norris, Nevada, Mo., junior, said she expected the clinic to help her after she had very little success trying to quit on her own.
"It couldn't hurt," she said. "I'm pretty convinced I'm going to quit anyway."
Norsis said that she had smoked for six years and that she considerer herself a light cigar.
Larry Loveland, 2018 Miller Drive, said he had smoked for 15 years and considered himself a heavy smoker. He quit three or four times unsuccessfully, he said.

Actor James Whitmore portrayed Truman in both productions.
Loveland compared a person who tries to quit smoking to an old alcoholic who starts drinking again thinking one more drink won't hurt.
"I, like most people, including his own daughter, was absolutely struck by Mr. Brown's words."
Truman gets new status
"Mr. Truman did not talk like a machine gun," he said. "When he delivered a public speech and he wanted to come to a climax, he would speed up very greatly. I had the feeling Whitmore was running at that high speed." The effect of the theatrical effect there was a necessity.

Truman," Heller said. "The reality of the Truman appearance was perhaps more uncanny than anything else because if you meet Mr. Whitmor face to face, as I did at the reception after the show, he doesn't look like Mr. Truman at all."
Heller said he thought there were two things that were exaggerated. Truman's was the biggest one.

Although he hasn't seen the movie version of Truman's life as president, "Give 'Em Hell, Harry," Heller said, he did see the theater production.
Former president Harry S. Truman, described by a University of Kansas professor as completely unvarnished, has achieved a new brand of celebrity status.

A close friend of Truman, Francis H. Heller, professor of law and political science, said yesterday he thought Truman had written that all American people were able to identify with.
"Lydyn Johnson for years stayed away except when things were carefully prepared for him. A lot of people, John Kennedy and his brother, Bill Elsenhower was everybody's drabaddy."
Since Truman's death in 1972 at the age of 88, a theater production, a movie and a song by a popular rock group have sought to address Truman's role in Missouri democrat to the American people.
"In the same sense, I felt the profanity was greatly oxygenated. Mr. Truman used profanity."
"I suspect that one of the things that may have happened to us is that we've had a succession of presidents that were rather removed from the people, and I'm not just talking about Mr. Nixon's tendency to seclude himself," Heller said.
"He (Truman) conducted himself nearly eight years pretty much the way you and I might conduct ourselves. He kept on drinking burgundy and playing poker. In 1862, 1863 people were criticizing him for 1865, 1870, 1875, which looked like a very human touch."
Heller, who helped Truman write his memoirs, said he thought Truman's popularity was based on Truman the man—not Truman the president.
"You take a drag and think one more hurt won't and then you're hooked," he said.
made sense. He used it to underscore, to emphasize. You might say he used it like punctuation marks. I never heard him use it. He would have been impressed if the impression that he was deliberately trying to degrade anyone. He might talk about somebody as being a 'bump bastard,' but he was not using that to insult that person. He was not saying that people which is a wav a lot of people use profanity.
"You come away from Mr. Whitmore's show with the feeling that Mr. Truman was almost incapable of uttering a sentence of confidence," He尔说. "And that just isn't so."
Heller said he thought Truman would view the sudden interest in him with amused detachment. According to Heller, Truman was inclined toward the simpler things in life—an inclination that had to be modified after Truman left office.
"He might say somebody is stupid but he was also quite capable of turning around and putting his arm around that same person's shoulders and say regardless of what I've said about you, you and I are really in the same war together," "Heller said."
"We wanted at least one thing open to all seniors." Cox said.
The 11 semifinalists for the 1975 HOPE award are: Alan Cliger, assistant professor of political science; Phil Huntingster, associate professor of physical education; Earl Huyser, professor of chemistry; J Hammond McNish, adjunct professor of business; Louis Michel, associate professor of architecture and urban design; Ruth Kemper, associate professor of education; Phillip Paladan, associate professor of history; Calder Pickett, professor of journalism; Dennis Quinn, professor of English; Lawrence Sherr, professor of business; and Lee Young, professor of journalism.
"There isn't any doubt that modern presidents have become accustomed to a customary style of letter," Heller said. "In nearly eight years in the White House, Mr. Truman held up a pole where the prerequisites of the presidency came to be things he took for granted."
HOPE finalist balloting is Oct. 8
"Mr. Truman walked in and the place turned into an absolute bedlam." Heller said. "He never got to eat and nobody else did either because everybody wanted to come over and shake hands with him. He had to learn the hard way that as a former president, he could not simply walk into a place."
Heller said that shortly after Truman left the presidency he and two of his aides decided to go to a Kansas City, Mo., restaurant near Truman's office.
Balloting to the field of 11 semifinalists for the 1975 HOPE award to five finalists will be Wednesday, Oct. 8. Ann HOPE will award committee chairman said yesterday.
Cox said that all seniors, not just class card holders, would be eligible to vote in the Oct. 8 final selection and the award election on Nov. 12.
Seniors can vote for finalists between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Information Booth on Tuesday, March 26th.
According to Cox, a committee of eight seniors representing several different schools and departments within the award selection process awarded the award selection procedure last spring.
The five finalists will be profiled in the Kansan. They will also receive plaques, she said, and the HOPE award winner will be presented with a credit by a trust left by the class of 1959.
She said the group, with the assistance of Steve Clark, board of class officer sponsor, set up rules disqualifying two-time award winners and recruiting new students while seniors have been undergraduates.
The award and plaques will be presented Nov. 15 during halftime of the University of Colorado-University of Kansas football game, she said.
It as then, too, that the selection process was opened to all seniors, she said.
