Programs prepare teachers
By a Kansan reporter
Education majors are getting a helping hand this year from a rejuvenated School of Education Student programs, and there are several programs on tan for them.
The group has been around for about six years. But this year, it will offer more programs and activities than before, said Chris Dalton, Overland Park senior and the organization's president.
This semester's programs deal with topics such as teenage suicide, teen sexuality and pregnancy, and AIDS in the classroom.
"We're trying to prepare them and say, 'Hey, this could come up,' he said. "We want them to be a little more prepared."
Evelyn Swartz, professor of curriculum and instruction and the organization's adviser, said the programs
would expand on what the students were learning in their classes and help them with some of the social issues that are making teaching a more difficult profession than in the past.
Dalton said the group also would

The group always has provided a way for students to have some say on how the school is run by seating rooms on several faculty committees.

Dalton said one of his goals for the organization was to try to inspire a greater sense of pride among education majors.
"If we can provide the impetus for them to be excited, then it does show a reflection when they get out in the schools," he said.
Student officers work for wellness
By AMBER STENGER Staff writer
Some KU students are helping to educate their peers about how to prevent health problems, and they're earning credit at the same time.

Fifty-five students are participating in the Student Health Officer Organization. As health officers, they assist students in their living groups by listening to their problems and referring them to people who can help.
"Let's say you have a health problem," said Janine Demo, coordinator of health education at Watkins Hospital. "The first person you are going to talk to is your roommate or a friend or someone you think might be knowledgeable in the area. The last person you're going to call is the health professional. That's why the health officers are there."
"A lot of times, people are a little
boring, making that step of actually
sending it."
The health officer program started three years ago. However, this is the first year that students can earn credit for participating. Health officer enrolls a two-hour class every two weeks and earn one hour of academic credit.
Students can earn up to two credits in the program while at KU. After serving for two semesters, they can health officers on a volunteer basis.
KU's program is aimed at preventing problems instead of treating them.
"With my background in health education, I've geared this program toward preventive health care." Demo said. "We are teaching the whys and hows before the fact, rather than after the fact."
Jamene Gilkey, Wichita junior, said she was participating in the program so that Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall would have a health officer. Because most resiliency professionals offer officer service, she said, few people have come to her for information or with questions.
Gilkey said that more people probab- lize to use the service as the year progresses.
Demo said she wanted the program to grow.
"I'd like to see health officers on every floor of every dorm, in all of the fraternities and sororites, and in all of the scholarship halls," she said.
give education majors a chance to learn to work with other prospective teachers. That will help them work better when they start teaching, Dalton said.
Now, health officers are living in six of the eight scholarship halls, in 12 of 14 sororities, in about 20 fraternities, in many residence halls. Demo said.
"It makes teachers so much more
She said she hoped the program would include off-campus residents in the future.
