House rejects Reagan's bid for contra aid
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives yesterday rejected President Reagan's appeal for $100 million for the Nicaraguan niggers battling the Sandinista government, slapping aside his offer to hold back some military aid during a new bid for peace talks.
In a statement read by presidential spokesman Larry Speakes, Reagan said the 222-210 defeat must be reversed.

He vowed to shift his campaign today to the Senate in a bid to salvage the request, which called for $70 million in finance and $30 million in non-lethal aid.

Community
Home teaches girls how to achieve
By Lori Polson

Barbara and Charlie Carter's job lasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with little time off for vacations, and the pay is not that great.
But if you ask them, they'll tell you the rewards outstrip all the inconveniences.
The Carters are the teaching-parents of the Achievement Place for Girls here.
The Achievement Place can accommodate up to six girls and now houses four.
Since 1970, Achievement Place has been the temporary home for many girls between the ages of 12 and 17 who, for a variety of reasons, could not live with their parents.
"The girls we see are of two different types," Barbara Carter said. "Some are children who, for one reason or another, are not receiving the proper care at home, and the others are girls that are out of control emotionally."
Like many adolescent group homes, Achievement Place is a haven for del-elingent or
negelected teen-agers. It strives to create an atmosphere conducive to normal growth and development for the girls.
The home uses a type of counseling developed by researchers at the University of Kansas. The technique, called the Teaching-Family Model, attempts to simulate a "real home" situation.
Kathy Ramp, associate professor of human development and co-director of the Achievement Place Research Project, has been working with the technique for 17 years.
"It's a life-long involvement," she said. "We're trying to give these kids an opportunity to have an adequate family — to have the atmosphere and training in a family situation that most people take for granted."
The first Achievement Place in Lawrence was the Achievement Place for Boys, which opened in 1967. The boys' home now uses the treatment program designed by KU.
In the late 1960s, the Plymouth Congregational Church saw a need for a girls' home and began
to raise money.
to pay for developing the treatment program. The training program for the teaching-parents is still partially funded by that grant.
Ramp said the University secured a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health
The church donated the house and approached the University with the idea of creating a treatment program.
The model is based on four aspects: controlling emotions, rational problem-solving, following instructions and corrective feedback.
The teaching parents live with the girls and monitor their day-to-day activities. They try to influence the girls' behavior by giving rewards, such as a weekend at home, when the girls obey and removing privileges
Since it was first used in Lawrence, the Teaching-Family Model has been duplicated at 11 centers across the country, Ramp said.
when they do something wrong.
"Over 250 programs are using the same system throughout the nation." she said.
"We use a lot of positive reinforcement," Charlie Carter said. "We focus on behaviors and not on personalities.
"We don't try to change the persons. We don't want to break their spirit. We try to teach them how to channel that spirit."
The Carters have been teaching-parents at Achievement Place for about 14 months.
"The average life of a teaching-parent is about two years," Charlie Carter said. "After that, some people tend to get burned out."
The Carters take the girls to school every day. They pick them up when school is over. They set established times for studying, doing chores and going to bed.
Although they said they enjoyed working with the girls, the emotional stress of the job does take its toll.
"You don't grow up thinking, I'm going to be a teachingparent," "Charlie Carter said. "But there is always a need for interested people."
The Carters receive packets of
information from Social and Rehabilitation Services on the family background and history of each girl and then review the packets before deciding whether to accept a girl.
"We are somewhat selective," Charlie Carter said. "We want to make sure that the girls's needs match our goals and we want to be able to help the girls who need us most."
There are a lot of girls who need their help.
The girls who live in Achievement Place come from a six-county radius around Lawrence. There is always more demand for placement than spaces available, Ramp said.
But the recent budget cuts by the federal government limit the amount of resources for programs such as Achievement Place.
'Whether a child is taken out of the home now depends upon whether there are enough resources,' Ramp said.
