Psychology program to set up shop in empty hall
By Novelda Sommers
Kansan staff writer
Four years ago, moving into Joseph R. Pearson Hall meant packing bed linens. But soon, a few rooms on the first floor of the former men's residence hall will be home to the University of Kansas' Clinical Child Psychology program.
For a year, the program has had offices in the building, which was last used as a residence hall in spring 1992. When the renovations are complete, the program will
have its own clinic and several more offices. The renovations will cost $13,850 and began in August 1995. Renovations include new carpeting, child-proof electrical sockets and wider doors for wheelchair accessibility.
Originally, the clinic was to be completed by October 1995, but that date has been set back to January 1996.
"The delay was financial, but we located the funds," said Michael Roberts, director of clinical child psychology and professor of human development and family life.
Roberts said funding for the new clinic in JRP came from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and a donation from Jackson Bauer, a professor emeritus in sociology. The donation was in memory of Bauer's wife, Lillian, who was interested in children's issues, Roberts said.
The program shares a clinic in Fraser Hall with the clinical psychology program, where students directed by faculty meet with clients from the community.
Roberts said the new location would be more convenient for
patients from the Lawrence community because they will no longer have to go through campus to get to the clinic. JRP is located on West Campus Road, up the west hill from Memorial Stadium.
"This is an optimum location," he said.
There are 19 students in the fiveyear doctoral program, now in its fourth year. When the clinic opens, the students will meet with children and parents with a wide range of problems.
"Some will be children adjusting to divorce or acting out in school,"
Roberts said. "We will also deal with bed wetting and hyperactive kids, and children with developmental disorders."
Rodney McNeal, Lawrence graduate student in the fourth year of the program, said the move to JRP showed that the program was maturing and would provide more opportunities for students because they would be helping to start the clinic.
"When I was choosing a graduate program, I was particularly intrigued by this program because it was so new," he said.
