Workshop studies dating
Dating attitudes of University of Kansas male students are being studied in a four-week workshop that began yesterday and ended on April 4:30 this afternoon in 224 Fraser Hall.
"Dating is a very important thing at this time in a man's life," Jim Atsideas, workshop director, said last week. "It helps people get more about himself, as well as others."
Atsides, who has a master's degree in rehabilitation counseling and works as a counselor at the Veterans' Administration hospital in Kansas City, Mo., is conducting the workshop as part of his doctoral dissertation.
"THIS IS not a date-match type of program, and there will be no women present, except when we go into role-playing situations. The emphasis will be on assertiveness training, trying to help women take more efficiency-oriented in dating."
He said the basic aim of the workshop was to improve interpersonal communication between the sexes and to help men develop better social skills.
The program is used in many hospitals that deal with group interaction, and is called Training in Individual and Group Effectiveness Resources (TIGER). he said.
EACH PARTICIPANT will be given a "social interaction diary", in which he will record daily contacts with women during the four-week program.
"In that way, they'll be able to see how they interact with women, and notice how they improve over a period of time," he said. "This feedback will help them to better evaluate their own performance and what they might do to improve."
"We're not going to use students as guinea pigs."
A dating workshop for women is tentatively scheduled for next semester. he
Introductory sessions will be this week, with the regular four-week course beginning October 26 and ending November 19. Sessions will be twice weekly, he said.

Glover, Hambleton debate issues
Debating on subjects from public school funding to marijuana laws, two candidates for the 44th district seat in the Kansas City district of about 40 persons in Green Hill residential.
The debate between Rep. Mike Glover, D-D Lawrence, and his opponent, former Lawrence mayor Nancy Hambleton, was sponsored by the Student Bar Association.
In his opening remarks, Glover said his major concerns were supporting the University of Kansas in the legislature and secondary education programs, primary and secondary education programs.
"HE SAID HE favored a reduction in the burden property tax payers shoulder for education in Kansas. The alternative, which would not be an adjustment in income tax rates."
Hambleton said she also favored im-
'provements in the state's public education system, but said she didn't agree that lowering property taxes and increasing income taxes was the answer.
Hambleton also said that though representing the University was a major objective of the 44th District representative, her major concern was district housing.
"It doesn't matter what tax is increased,
it's going to hurt," she said.
"I DON'T PRETEND to have a lot of answers," she said. But it's something she doesn't want to tell me.
She said she would study housing programs and support those she felt wounded.
However, she said, any housing program the legislature might adopt should include a new permit.
Both candidates said that a problem for a.

Hambleton said her approach was much the same.

Commission on the STATUS OF WOMEN
Saying you're a woman doesn't tell anyone much, because being a woman can mean many different things.
Those of us who work with the Commission do so because we are questioning. We want to know what our alternatives are and how to maintain them. We work to support women in whatever choice they make and to increase the options open to all of us. We work to stimulate thought on being a woman and how we can integrate these thoughts into ideas we already have about ourselves. We are interested in exploring the status of women on the KU campus.
If you feel the Commission has something to offer you there are many ways to get involved. Anyone is welcome to attend the bi-weekly programs (Oct. 5, 19 & Nov. 2, 16, 30.) on topics of interest to women and also to receive a monthly newsletter. The Commission consists of five committees, each dealing with a specific area concerning women, on which members are encouraged to work: Life-planning, Human Sexuality, Women's Recognition, Political Action and Publicity. The Commission is also looking for an efficient and enthusiastic person to serve on the Board as Secretary. This position requires time and energy as well as typing skills.

THE TIME IS HERE TO GET INVOLVED with THE MINORITY STUDENT CENTER
For some time, things have been sitting still for minorities on the K.U. campus. In fact, things seemed to have moved backwards. There are many reasons why the situation ain't like it should be, and you could go on for days listing those reasons. Well, the time has come for the end of complaining and the beginning of correcting the situation.
The time has come for moving things forward to where they should be.

What???
There are many ways to keep this thing going and growing. Recently, the Black Fraternities and Sororites sponsored two dances and used the money to pay for today's event. Their cooperation is an example (A damned good one) of how we can work together to get things accomplished for our own good.
How Can You Help?
Minority Student Center to Open in October
You can help by participation on the Planning or the Action committees of the Minority Student Center. The Planning committee decides which events will be coordinated through the Center; and the Action committee makes sure that these events carried out. The most important way for you to help is to use the Center when it opens in October, or by joining the Minority Affairs subcommittee of the Student Senate.
When???
Some of you are already aware that things are beginning to move. The most important development in the last few months has been the approval of a Minority Student Center in the Student Union. This came about through the efforts of concerned minority students working through the Student Senate and the Student Union.
This Minority Student Center will be one of the largest student offices in the Union and will serve Blacks, Chicanos, and Indians. A committee of students have been working on the plans for this Center, which will be a central communications and information location for minority students. We support your work with the Minority Student Center will not work. WITH your support, the Center can grow into a strong voice for your needs.
Now is the time.
If you are interested in working on a committee or if you just want more information on the Center stop by or contact the Student Senate Office, Level 3, Suite 105, in the Kansas Union. (864-3710).
