Abramson and Gillis Coutu, are available for con-sultation in the Health Center free of charge. ""The service was inagu-ated because of Pratt's de-sire to expand its service and play a greater role in community life. As a result, an extensive program was initiated this year for Pratt psychiatrists to go into the community,"" said Dr. Ab-ramson. The mental health service is available to students on self-referral or on referral from faculty members. In addition, it is available to the faculty and staff for consultation, or for faculty consultation concerning students. Dr. Abramson emphasized that the utmost respect for the confidentiality of the con-sultations is inherent in this service. Records of the con-sultations will be kept on file at Pratt, but only a simple notation will be entered in the student's health record.

Towson Helps In Inner - City A test program in education began recently to help prepare inner-city children to learn more easily. The program de-parts from usual teaching methods to meet the pupils' singular learning problems. It is the purpose of ""Project Mis-sion"" to acquaint the teacher with the slum�child's world. Towson, Morgan, and Coppin State Colleges are cooperat-ing in the Project. The Ford Foundation and other insti-tutions granted $1,080,600.00 for the three-year study. There are seven Towson stu-dents and one professor committed to the program. Ann Andrews and Antonia Dubricki, both undergraduates, are in elementary education. In secondary education, Murray Bond, Marge Brick, Beth Mar-shall, Jesse Rossman., and Deb-ra Scheidt, all graduates, are at Project schools. Dr. Hauserman, is Towson's chief representative professor in the program. The professor, born in Ohio, earned his Doc-torate in Education from the University of Buffalo. Hauser-man teaches communications skills at the project schools. To qualify for the project, a student must be a senior or graduate student in good standing. The intern takes 33 credit hours for the year and earns $1,100 as a senior or $1,225 as a graduate student while in the program. Appli-cations are available in Dr. Schroeder's office. A qualifying or graduate stu-dent is assigned to a ""project"" in the city. He spends half his day at lectures conducted by Project professors and the re-mainder of the day teaching an inner-city class. The courses at the school directly relate to the problems of the inner-city child. Two significant points are involved in the program. First, the intern goes beyond the classroom to understand his pu-pils' neighborhood, friends, and out-of-school behavior. Second, the intern actively tests the principles discussed in his lec-ture classes. Thus, the student tries to see if the inner-city child does respond differently to books and reading than do more fortunate children. stated that any student or fac-ulty member who wishes to avail himself of this facility may do so independently of the Health Center itself by apply-ing to the nurse on duty for an appointment to see Drs. Abram-son or Coutu. According to Dr. Abramson, the following services will be available: 1. Evaluation of individual problems of passing mo-ment with only short term treatment. 2. Referral of student to his faculty adviser, if desired. 3. Referral to family doctor or College physician. 4. Referral of the individual for psychotherapy with local therapist. 5. Referral to one of the Baltimore County Mental Health Centers for clinical treatment. The problems for which stu-dents will consult the psychi-atrists might be related to the student's school adjustment and, performance or to personal problems.
