Counseling agencies fill students' needs
By MARILYN HAYES
Lawrence has at least 14 agencies to help people with their problems and concerns. With such a selection it may be difficult for students to decide which agency would best serve them.
however, if the need is individual or group counseling, the psychology department's PSYCHOLOGICAL CLINIC, 307 Fraser Hall may be the resource.
The department operates the clinic as part of its training program in clinical psychology. The staff is comprised of two teachers and a select group of graduate students.
The Psychological Clinic offers a variety of clinical services to individuals, couples, groups and community organizations. Counseling regarding marriage, divorce, sexuality, drugs and school programs is available.
A crass service is available during the clinic's regular hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). After hours crisis calls can be handed through the KU Information Center.
If career choice is the problem, the UNIVERSITY COUNSELING CENTER, 16 Balley, may be of help. The center, at the University of Arizona, provides student assistance in selecting a career.
The center houses a career library that has up-to-date information on careers and the job market, according to Richard Runcuij, director of the center.
Present and former students, student's spouses, faculty and staff can, with no charge, discuss anything freely and con- tensively about the center's professional counselors.
Counseling services are available Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Counseling is usually arranged by ap- point of service and may not be available for immediate counseling.
THE MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC, the psychiatric unit of the Student Health Service at KU, is primarily an outpatient facility. The Health Clinic estimates that approximately 16,000 students from the University will come to the Mental Health Clinic during the school year.
The clinic offers KU students psychiatric evaluation, psychotherapy, short term hospitalization in Watkins Hospital, referral services and marriage counseling.
The staff consists of a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist and social workers
The first four visits are included in the student health fee. Fees for subsequent visits are based on a sliding scale from $5 to $10 per visit. In addition, condition for receiving treatment, however,

may be the place to so or call.
Headquarters offers "a place for human contact and assistance whenever it is needed," Jimmy Supica, director of Headquarters, said.
Headquarters is a 24 hour-a-day telephone hotline staffed by volunteers. The volunteers are screened by a selective interview process where two staff members ask questions to determine the potential volunteer's maturity, ability to communicate effectively and openness and honesty, according to Kirk Condon. Headquarters staff member.
Headquarters assists in dealing with depression, loneliness, family problems, drugs and sexually related concerns. It also provides training for referral information on birth control, problem pregnancy, legal aid, professional counseling, housing, medical help and rape victim counseling. Headquarters also provides training for the night. Sunaika said.
The services are free, available to anyone and the contact remains confidential, he said.
If a casual, social and supportive rap group is the need, BREAKTHROUGH, may be the group, according to Betty Larson, secretary of Breakthrough.
Breakthrough was formed five years ago as a place where former mental patients could "let their hair down and feel among friends," Larson said.
Since then, it has opened up to anyone of any age or background.
"We don't give advice," Larson said, "just sunfort."
The group meets once a week and is free. The group meets Monday, Wednesday, CLINIC, 4th and Missouri, offering counseling in everything from wife-battering to drugs. Mary Jones, business director of the clinic.
"Bert Nash was established out of a community need, a need for a place where people could go when they needed help," Jones said.
The staff is comprised of a psychiatrist, social workers and psychologists, who have a good understanding of the client.
*Client's fees are based on a sliding scale of $1 to $8$, but no one is ever turned away,*
*and the base fee is $0.95*.
Bert Nash is open between 8:30 a.m. and
3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and has a
24-hour office.
A rape is reported in the United States every 12 seconds and is one of the fastest growing crimes committed in our society. THE DOUGLAS COUNTY RAPE VICIIMATING combat and deal with rape, according to Kathy Hogard, a member of the service.

He mentioned the extension of the KU library, the on-line computational facilities and the counseling program, all of which operate at the Linwood Center in Overland Park, as examples of support services offered to Outreach students.
The Outreach program at the University of Kansas is steadily attaining its major objectives, an administrator of the program said recently.
Outreach takes KU to the people
Jerry Hutchison, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, said that since its initiation two years ago, the Outreach program has been successfully coordinating and making available KU facilities and increasing proportion of Kansas citizens.

The Outreach program currently coordinates classes with the division of Continuing Education at centers in Kansas City. The program is offered through Leavenworth. In the fall 114 classes will be offered for credit in the Kansas City area with an estimated enrollment of more than 2,500 students. Courses will be held at the Center for Learning and Kansas City Community College.
In Topeka 19 classes will be offered for credit and non-credit with an estimated enrollment of 1,220 students. In Leavenworth, seven courses will be offered at the penitentiary and 13 courses at Fort Leavenworth and Leavenworth. Combining these with 860 persons, other state-wide institutions will offer nine non-course courses.
"We're seeing the results of the phenomenon known as the 'knowledge explosion,'" Hutchison said. "We have a responsibility to educate the citizens of Kansas in higher education programs. We need to share our resources with everybody, and we have taxes and yet they can't come to Lawrence. Therefore, we must go to them."
"The adult student is a fairly intense person. The students bring to class with them many of the challenges they challenge the instructors," he said. "Most of them look upon education as a service they have purchased and they want to see some tangible results for their educational growth."
"We don't feel that these programs are something different from regular academic courses."

"The main difference between regular K1 students and the prisoners is a higher degree of violence," he said. "Latterly, he said. "Most of them have something definite they're working with."
"We've shown that we don't want to, nor will we, resort to second-class education or gimmickry," he said. "Outreach is not just a way to increase enrollment."
Hutchison said that a large percentage of students enrolled in Outreach programs were more than 30 years old and he foresee that this age group will enroll in the future.
difference is geographical separation and the different types of students attracted."
With technology advancing every year, Hutchison said, there will be a continued and more urgent need for supplementary education.
Carl Leban, associate professor of East Asian studies, for instance, has said that the program was deficient in ancestry and largely cosmetic. Lebanized to com-

Hutchison disagreed with Leban's assessment.
Richardson said a number of persons at the penitentiary had earned bachelors degrees and were calling for a greater number of course offerings. He said that prisoners also would bachelor of general program programs, program courses and a computer science program.

These include social welfare and pharmacy recertification programs made mandatory by the state legislature.
Hutchison said that the variety of programs offered would bring continued experience.
"outreach is basically a philosophaic concept," he said. "It brings learning experiences to the state. What we do is simply coordinating assistance when needed."
