Expanded Counciling
The Counseling Center is
continuously seeking ways to
better reach and serve the

types of group experiences.
These groups will deal with
such areas as: Interpersonal
Relations, Decision-Making,
Race Relations, Women,
Studying, and Group Encounter. Interested students
are encouraged to contact
immediately the designated
persons for each group
described below.
-The INTERPERSONAL
RELATIONS GROUP will
focus on how individuals
relate to each other. As a type
of "personal growth group",
emphasis will be placed on
exploring feelings that we
have about ourselves and how
these feelings in turn
influence our relationships
with others. The overall
objective of this group is an
effort to effect some necessary
theraputic changes in the
participants. Bill Springs and
Paula Swonguer will jointly
lead this group.

decisions and to provide
practice in applying these
skills to a variety of situations,
including choosing a major

contact Paula Swonger for
time and place of meetings.
-The RACE RELATIONS
GROUP will focus upon
finding constructive ways of
narrowing the gaps among the
races represented within the
membership of the group.
Attention will be given to
identifying our own racial
prejudices and developing
new tools, and techniques that
will aid in fostering better race
relations. This group is open
to those students who honestly
and sincerely wish to seek a
better understanding of themselves in relationship to
another race. This group will
be led by Dick Woodward and
Ken Schwab.
