Rally
From page 1
The final half of the rally spun us around campus and town, into the Dyche Museum of Natural History to count butterflies, and across South Park on foot to count the cylinders in the fire truck-only a few of the obstacles we encountered.
At last we pulled up to the finish line in Centenial Park, Tom and I still entertaining fading illusions of victory. Only our arch-competitor, the Fliat, was there.
It soon became apparent that speed was not the most important thing in the rally.
Other competitors soon arrived, with more accurate answers than ours.
Shortly every car was in but one, a green Triumph racked last seen headed for Topeka on U.S. Highway 40. At the scoring table, an officer held up a card showing officials over a silt that one team received from a bar employee, but first place was finally awarded to the three-member crew of Mark
Cain, Paul Monson, and Chris White, in a white Toyota.
Monson, a Green River, Wyo. sophomore in Aerospace Engineering, said the key to victory involved boat navigators.
"A lot of physical and mental exercise was involved in this thing," he said. "Sometimes you had to stop and ask people questions, but persistence paid off. We went back and double and triple checked a lot of things." Monson said smugly.
The green Triumph, thought to be west bound for points unknown, finally showed up at three levels.
At least we weren't last.
In all we were wiser.
The navigator of the late arriving Triumph spoke for all the competitors when she summed up the day.
"It was a good opportunity to laugh at yourself when you finally figured something out," said Debbie Schauf of Overland Park.
"I had a blast.'
such as Oklahoma, Georgia and New Mexico because their universities contain a high population of minority students.

said. "The reality is that 90 percent of the time you will have terrible problems as a teenager."
Many of the children in the unit are treated for school phobia. This is considered a psychiatric emergency. Weil said. School-phobie children were among of as children who were afraid of going to school.
From page 1
"It really is much more than that. The main problem seems to be the child is for some reason afraid to leave the home or the environment he is in." she said.
"They are afraid that if they leave home, something bad will happen to the people who are at home."
The children wake up in the morning feeling very sick to their stomachs and may even vomit, Weller said. When their mother says they may need a day off school, they are fine and spend the day playing.
The No. 1 rule in dealing with school-phobic children is to send them back to school as soon as possible. There are two teachers on the unit's first day and three on the second day, hospital every day to keep up with their lessons.
When working with a school-phobic child, the psychiatrist has to make sure the child is not really suffering from educational problems; fear of being bullied; or want to keep the child from wanting to attend school.
School phobia can appear at any time, but it usually afflicts children at ages 6 and 7 or during adolescence.
Hyperactivity is another severe problem for many of the children. Some come to the unit as a last resort, having been everywhere else, Weller said.
behavior through behavior modification, but in some cases medication is used along with behavior modification.
parents also were bothered by having their children kept in the adult ward. During the day, the children would not be in contact with the adults and were often alone; they would see them with the adults, Weller said.
She said the idea for the unit had stemmed from her reliance to keep children in the adult classroom.
"I was in charge of the children, and I didn't like keeping the kids with adults, so I wasn't happy." Weller said. "The attendants who were taking care of the adult patients were not happy either, because the adult patients were coming that the children were bothering them a lot."
The new unit has space for 10 children, usually eight boys and two girls, Weller said. When working with children, it is hard to devote full attention to any more than 10, she said.
The children can learn to control much of their
The unit is a short-term diagnostic evaluation center. Its goal is to get the children out as soon as they are ready, Weller said. The average length of stay is from four to six weeks, but can be shorter or longer depending upon the child's problem.
Children attend therapy sessions with their parents as well as individually. When a child is admitted to the unit, the parents and child sit down with their parent to discuss the problem. The child is given a chance to express his feelings and his views of his problem, which may differ from his parents' views. Weller said.
"Children are excellent informers," she said.
We used to think the only way of dealing with children was through formal training.
can talk about their own worries and problems,
and they do a very good job."
During the first 48 hours that the child is in the unit, he has no contact with the home. This is to give him the opportunity to adapt to the staff and the staff a chance to evaluate him, Weller said.
The children are placed on a point system and can earn weekends at home or lunch with their
"We had a child who three weeks ago we were asking. 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' He said he wants to be a student doctor. He thinks that is a speciality." Weller said.
Student doctors are very important in the child's program. They work with the child and his family on an individual basis and take the child to events outside the hospital.
There is not a set type of environment that disturbed children come from. Some are from outstanding home environments that do not have any financial or emotional problems, so the problem comes from within the child, Weller said. In other cases, the children have problems, and the parents have problems, and the two just clash.
Weller said she did not foresee the unit expanding, because the most urgent need was for a long-term care center. When a child in the hospital became ill, she referred to a residential home in Kansas City.
A similar short-term care program for children was started Aug. 23 at St. Joseph Hospital in Wichita. The program was developed through the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita. The unit should be full within three weeks, said Neil Roach, chairman of the psychiatry department at the Wichita branch. Weller said it should help decrease the number of people on the waiting list for the Med Center unit.
