Adult Effects of Childhood Abuse-a free public forum
Speaking the unspeakable truth
Speaking the unspeakable truth about childhood abuse, though painful, is essential to healing and recovery. The most common response to emotional abuse, verbal abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and incest is to forget or deny it happened or minimize its effects on the survivor's life.
But to live a "normal life," childhood abuse survivors should acknowledge the truth and address how it has changed their lives. A survivor can have problems as an adult that are directly related to the childhood trauma, such as:
eating disorders depression
□ problems in relationships
□ self-destructive or self-defeating behavior
With help and support, survivors of childhood abuse can put the painful memories to rest.
The Women's Program at Menninger presents Adult Effects of Childhood Abuse featuring:

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Rao and two colleagues, speaking at a news conference last week, said they were dismissed because they are the main character in Diana's entire Third World affairs staff.
The three said their differences with top editors go far beyond the law. "They call our articles propaganda," said Rao. "We have different views of what journalism is."
University paper faces discrimination charges
The Associated Press
AMHERST, Mass. — Student journalists at the University of Massachusetts don't just report the news. They've made it with protest takeovers, assault charges and even death threats.
Struggle for control of the Daily Collegian stems from radically different views of what a college publication should be.
old Indian who is studying communications. He served as last year's editor of the paper's bimonthly Third World Affairs page.
Turnoil bubbled two days after the April 29 acquittal of white police officers in the beating of African-American motorist Rodney King in Los Angeles.
About 250 African-American, Hispanic, Asian and other students, including some senior staffers of the undergraduate newspaper, overran its campus offices, breaking a window, ripping papers and renewing accusations that the Daily Collegian and its editors are racist.
Protesters eventually forced the paper's staff into hiding and tried, with mixed success, to block distribution by snatching up copies from newsstands. Some editors reported death threats.
A court later ordered counseling for a protester charged with assault for threatening an editor with a baseball bat. The paper closed for summer break several days early.
He said the staff of the Third World page, not top editors, should exercise control over its content.
Editors returned to campus and reopened the paper without interference on Sept. 9 after months of negotiation with the guard, giving more power to minority groups.
But a day later, Editor-in-Chief Dan Wetzel removed three foreign graduate students as voting staff members and they promised to sue. Wetzel said a rule of the university's Student Activities Office, which is not enforced often, bans graduate students from leadership and voting roles in undergraduate groups.
"What has happened to us is the most outrageous, blatant and hideous act of discrimination," she added the ousted editor, Madammohan Rao, a 28-year-old.
But Wetzel said he was trying to preserve the 102-year-old newspaper, which circulates about 19,000 copies, beginning ground for future journalists.
"To have the Collegian to be an opinion sheet is not what we want," he said. "I want to get out and work for The Washington Post someday. They think The Washington Post is a Eurocentric rag."
Miss America says she is pro-choice Winner is a registered Republican
The Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The newly crowned Miss America, a registered Republican, mildly chastised the GOP yesterday, saying issues like abortion don't belong in the political arena.
"I'm a Christian who is pro-choice – those two don't go hand-in-hand all the time," said Leanza Cornett, 21, of Jacksonville, Fla., at the pageant winner's traditional day-after news conference.
"It's not something that should be political. It's a moral issue."
Miss Iowa, Catherine Ann Lemku, was first runner-up and Miss Indiana, Sheilena Renee Yoder, was second runner-up. Third runner-up was Miss Kansas, Pam McKelvy, and fourth runner-up was Du Sharne Carter, Miss Oklahoma. Cornett succeeded Carla Lapp of Honolulu, who was scheduled to leave yesterday for Europe, where she plans to promote United States tourism.
Survey indicates workers need training programs to improve writing skills
WASHINGTON — More businesses say workers need to improve their writing and talking, but few offer training programs for them, a survey indicated yesterday.
Miriam Shubin, a New York workplace literacy specialist, said that until the economy improved, few companies would be motivated to tackle the problems. She explained that many firms were now able to temporarily hire overqualified jobless people for entry level positions.
Shubin is a consultant to The Osten Corp., a nationwide temporary personnel firm based in Westbury, N.Y. that surveyed 402 companies in July. The firs identified writing as the most valued skill but said that 80 percent of their employees needed to improve in all areas. Last year, 65 percent listed writing as a problem.
Seventy-five percent of the companies identified as a key problem a lack of interpersonal skills, such as speaking, listening and talking with customers as well as with coworkers.
