CAMPUS/AREA UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Wednesday, March 1, 1995 5A College ordeals almost put her on wrong track Traveling minister shares story with KU students By Novelda Sommers Kansan staff writer For Cindy Hollander, the bad relationships started in kindergarten. THE THINGS WE DO FOR 'LOVE' Last night's speaker explained four "les Women Shouldn't Fall For," when in a relationship. Women must be thin and look like super models in order to find love. Alcohol and drugs can improve self-image. Sex equals love. Any relationship is better than no relationship at all. "I invited a boy I had a crush on over to play house, and I made the mistake of inviting another girl," Holland said. The bad relationships lasted through her senior year in college at the University of Tennessee. There, her quest for love lead to alcohol and drug use, date rape and depression. Hollander spoke to 16 women last night at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall about her experiences with the self-destructive behavior she engaged in for love. Her visit was sponsored by Jayhawker Christian Fellowship and GSP-Corbin events programming staff. Hollander said that as a teenager, she dieted and starved herself from 115 pounds down to 83 pounds. Her mother took her to a doctor who helped Hollander regain her health. "Real love goes beyond physical appearance, but on television and in magazines, it's always the good-looking girl who gets the guy," Hollander said. In college, Hollander said she used alcohol "Alot of what she said made sense. Alot of it should be common sense." sense." Shaftina Charania Nairobi, Kenya, senior on speaker Cindy Hollander's message and and drugs to change her image from nice girl to wild child. She said her self-esteem dipped when she had sex for the first time during an alcohol blackout and did not remember it the next day. After that, Hollander began to believe that sex should equal love. "Sex can be an expression of love in a committed relationship," she said. By her junior year, jaded and cynical, Hollander said she no longer believed that love existed. She was date raped after a night of heavy drinking. Depression and psychiatric treatment followed. Hollander said it was when she discovered Christianity that she ended her self-destructive behavior. Now she and her husband are traveling campus ministers, and she tells her story to college women. "A lot of what she said made sense," said Shafina Charania, Nairobi Kenya, senior and resident assistant at GSP-Corbin. "A lot of it should be common sense." Computer center struggling to meet demands of students Larger staff needed to handle new users Brenden Sager Kansan staff writer The computer center is trying to meet the needs of a changing world, but Jerry Niebaum, director of academic computing, said that it didn't have enough money. "We're not even close," Niebaum said, but he said the center was looking for solutions despite the lack of funds. Niebaum identified a number of problems the center was having with the move into the computer age. The first problem, Niebaum said, was the drastic increase in multi-user systems accounts — accounts that give students access to the Internet — since the beginning of the semester. He said the center's staff didn't expect the three-fold increase. Last year, the center doubled their supply of modems to 192, Niebaum said. The modems are used by those who aren't connected to the campus systems "As the volume of users increases, there are bound to be more problems." Jerry Niembaum KU director of academic computing through a terminal server account. The terminal server allows users to access their KU accounts from off-campus locations. Niebaum said the expansion meant less waiting for customers who use the server. He said that another aspect of the increased use was that the center's servers crashed more frequently, meaning more waiting for everybody. But, with the increase of users comes an increase of problems, Niebaum said. Another problem Niebaum said the center had was a lack of support staff to meet customers' needs. Customer assistance representatives in the computer labs are swamped with requests for help from first-time users who need assistance with basic computing problems, he said. "We need more support staff," he said. Niebaum said that the center was forming a total quality management team made up of staff members. They will meet periodically to discuss problems and come up with solutions to meet expanding customer needs. Nicole Nelson, Manhattan sophomore, said that she used e-mail at the computer center but often had to wait in line to use the center's computers. "I'm really happy that we get to have e-mail for free," said Nicole Nelson. "It's really decreased my phone bill." "That's the best time to come, Nelson said. She said the most efficient way for her to check her e-mail messages was to come to the center after she had gone out on weekend nights — at about 2 a.m. Inmates earn a living as they pay society for their crimes Robert, 29, is one of about 560 Lansing inmates who work in local industrial jobs as part of a partnership between the private sector and the state prison system. LEAVENWORTH — Robert uses the money he makes welding snowplows to pay room and board and support his children — all while he is a prisoner in Lansing Correctional Facility. The Associated Press The inmates work at three Leavenworth companies, earning $4.25 an hour. They pay taxes and room and board fees to the state. They also make restitution and contribute to the victims' compensation fund. At the three companies — Henke Manufacturing, Heaton and Zephyr Products — all those payments have added up to more than $2 million. The remainder of the Kansas businessman Fred Braun started the first inmate work program at Zephyr Products in 1979. It was one of the first programs of its kind in the country. Since then, Braun, along with partners, has opened two other Leavenworth companies that are located next to the first one he started. "It makes me feel good about myself because when I was a little kid, my dad wasn't there," he said. "I'm concerned that they don't have all they need, but I'm glad I'm at least doing something now that can help them." innates' earnings is placed in a special savings account and is available when they leave prison. Robert, who spent five years in prison before being allowed to work at Henke, also sends some of his pay to his children. Heatron — five other private companies offer similar work programs. A Topeka packaging company, a Lansing engineering and mechanical design company, a Wichita manufacturing company, a Lansing children's clothing company and a Lenexa brush company operate work programs within various state prisons. Though not off the prison grounds — like Zephyr, Henke and "I was appalled at the idleness of the inmates," said Braun, a member of the Koch Crime Commission. "I realized they would be worse when they got out." Braun also has launched a private foundation that creates similar programs throughout the country. Inmates who participate in the work programs are interviewed and selected by the company and must maintain clean disciplinary records. Workers in the three offgrounds facilities also must be classified as minimum security. a world class dance fiesta every Saturday night 10pm-2am 943 Mass St. Lawrence, KS 913-842-1414 CocoLoco BACKCOUNTRY BACKPACKING CLINIC October 18,1995 7:30 p.m. 202 Robinson Center ABSOLUTELY FREE!!"
