DR-1-7171 saves lives
Phone averts suicides
Dial DRexel 1-7171 in Kansas City, Kan., before attempting suicide.
That is the number of a suicide prevention center operated by the Wyandotte County Medical Health and Guidance Center in cooperation with the KU Medical Center.
When a call is received, the staff member on duty tries to determine how close the person is to accomplishing his threat and what means he has available.
Director of the center is Dr.
KUPA runs partial slate
The Kansas University Party Alliance (KUPA), KU's newest political party, announced today they will run only a partial slate of three candidates in the spring elections April 19 and 20.
The candidates, all for All Student Council posts, are Pam Gardner, Wichita sophomore, college women; Holly Smith, Kirkwood, Mo., junior, fine arts; and Patty Jeserich, Shawnee Mission junior, education.
KUPA PARTY OFFICIALS had said earlier that they were planning only a partial slate due to the "financial impossibility" of a full scale campaign.
"WE DECIDED IT was silly to run three candidates on a platform when we would not have a sufficient power base on which to act." Darville said.
The three candidates will also run without benefit of an election platform, said Dick Darville, Shawnee Mission senior and KUPA chief. Darville added, however, that KUPA would periodically publish newsletters containing "constructive criticism" of the campaigns before election day.
Instead, Darville said, KUPA newsletters would serve as comments on other party platform proposals and remarks made by other candidates. There will be nothing specific, Darville said, concerning KUPA proposals in the publications.
Manuel Pardo, assistant professor of psychiatry at the medical center.
"There are many causes," Pardo, in a bulletin from the Medical Center, said. "Many calls are from relatives asking what to do; some are from persons who have thought about suicide in the past. Some calls are initiated by relatives, ministers or family physicians."
Staffed by psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, psychiatric residents, nurses and psychiatric social work students, the center began operation last September.
Cooperation among police and fire departments, sheriff's office, probate court, welfare agencies, neighborhood counseling centers and area hospitals has been "100 per cent," Pardo said.
Calls to the Suicide Prevention Center, ranging from mild to dramatic, average two a day.
Has the Suicide Prevention Center been successful?
"We cannot say we have saved 'x' number of lives and substantiate it," Pardo said. "But we are quite certain that we have saved at least one life, and that would make it worthwhile."
