Pregnant women find a helping hand
By Jennifer Freund Kansan staff writer
When 19-year-old Lona found out that she was pregnant in January, she could not decide whether she wanted to terminate the pregnancy, keep the baby or put the child up for adoption.
"I changed my mind a million times," said Lona, who is due this month. "I couldn't decide whether I wanted to give the baby up for adoption or keep the baby. I decided to keep it because it was just too hard to think about abortion or adoption."
After some serious consideration, she decided to move into Hannah's House.

Susan Schneweis, executive director of Hannah's House, speaks with Lorretta Zachary, a member of the day staff, at Hannah's House. 2216 Alabama St. Hannah's House is a residence for several pregnant teenage girls.
Hannah's House, 2216 Alabama St., is a nonprofit, interdenominational Christian home for unwed, pregnant women under 21 years of age. Residents live in the house during their pregnancy and for up to three months after their child's birth. They receive counseling, including birth control options, parenting classes, job/career counseling and medical services. Two women, including Lona, live in the house now.
Hannah's House helps the residents learn about their pregnancy and motherhood. When Lona first entered Hannah's House, she was scared, she said, but now that she's been living in the home for several months, she feels much less apprehensive.
"I just finished Lamaze classes," she said. "Jennifer Wiggins is my coach. It's really helpful. It taught me how to relax and how to breathe."
Wiggins, Wichita senior, is one of two KU students who work at Hannah's House. She and Monique Garcia, Wichita senior, work for 24 hours at a time at the house.
"Hannah's House provides a really calm and safe environment, so that these girls can relax and concentrate on their situations," she said. "We listen to them and help them get through their pregnancy. One of the most important things, though, is that we give the girls self-esteem, which they can give to their babies."
Wiggins said she enjoyed helping provide a nurturing environment for the residents.
Garcia said she started getting involved with pregnant teen-agers in high school when she volunteered at the Girard House in Wichita, a home similar to Hannah's House.
But Garcia said that sometimes the residents' situations depressed her.
"Sometimes, it gets me down," she said. "Some of the girls have been physically or sexually abused."
Garcia said that her depression was alleviated when the women listened
"They listen to me because I'm more their age," she said. "I don't lecture. It's just a conversation. I tell them that people I know who are close to me have gone through what they're going through. My cousin is 23, and she has three kids."
Susan Schneweis, executive director of Hannah's House, said employees did their best to ensure the residents had a healthy pregnancy and a successful delivery, while remaining non-judgmental and supportive.
"We need to provide a calm, safe atmosphere," Schneweis said. "We don't judge. There are so many other people that will judge them. They
won't get that here."
But Lona said, even with all the support that Hannah's House staff has given her, she was still scared about her delivery and motherhood.
It's a frustrating because I'm scared — scared that something is wrong with the baby, scared about being a mother," she said. "I've taken care of babies before, but I've never done it for a long period of time."
Lona said she was thankful for the open-minded atmosphere at Hannah's House.
Lona also said being a pregnant teen-ager was a position she would advise against.
"I'm tired," she said. "To teen-age girls, I would say 'stop having sex,' or do something. Use birth control." Before I got pregnant, I knew about birth control, but I didn't think that it could happen to me."
Lona said her parents were not
going to support her and the baby.
“When I told my mom that I was pregnant, she said that it figured. When I told my dad, I thought that he was in shock at first. But he came around and said that God must have blessed me. Now they say things like they can't wait to see the baby.”
"I still need them, but they can help me," she said. "When I have the baby, I'm going to move into my own place, and I'm going to go to beauty school in Lawrence."
Lona said that she did not want the father to be involved with the child.
While Lona said Hannah's House had been supportive, she was not in the mood for a repeat performance.
"I'm never doing this again," she said. "I don't want any more children."
"He found out about the baby, and he wants to be involved," she said. "I don't want him in my baby's life because he's a drug addict."
Students land internships in Washington
Kansan staff writer
By Ashley Miller
LaRisa Chambers, Colby, senior spent last semester working in the real world.
Chambers, a political science major, interned for Colorado Congresswoman Pat Schroeder in Washington D.C. She worked in Schroeder's Family and Children's Issues office, writing press releases and answering letters.
"It was a blast living up there," Chambers said.
Chambers was one of 32 students last spring who participated in the Washington Semester Program sponsored by the department of political science.
Bob Whittaker, who coordinates the Washington D.C. side of the program, said that although most of the students in the program were political science majors, all students were welcomed.
Whittaker said different kinds of internships were available, including working for senators, representatives, C-SPAN, CNN, the White House and the Smithsonian Institution.
Each internship is a full-time job, Whittaker said.
Whittaker said that while students were in Washington D.C., they lived in apartments contracted by the department. Students spent about $350 a month on rent and utilities. The interns also needed money for transportation, food and social expenses. Students did not have to pay campus fees.
Although students went to Washington as interns, Whittaker said they still paid an off-campus tuition rate because they received nine hours of college credit.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, started the internship program in the Fall of 1983.
Most of the students who now participate in the program are political
science or journalism majors, Loomis said.
"In the beginning of the program there was more diversity in majors," Loomis said.
He said economics majors, history majors and art history majors were common when the program began.
Loomis said the internship program gave students both work and life experience.
"They learn about government, they learn about doing work full-time, and they learn a lot about their own capabilities," Loomis said. "I think you have students who use this, knowingly or unknowingly, to see if they like Washington and want to be on the fast track."
Loomis said he thought the University also benefited from the internship program.
"This has the lifetime benefit for the University of channeling KU people into Washington," Loomis said.
Washington bound
The department of political science will have a meeting at 7 tonight on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union about the 1995 Washington Semester Program. Students in all majors are invited to attend.
The program runs from January 15 to the beginning of May.
Students must have a 2.75 grade point average to be considered automatically for the program, but the GPA often is waived.
Students in the program are required to attend one or two seminars a week and listen to various speakers, keep a journal of their activities and write a term paper at the end of the semester.
Students receive nine hours of college credit
