The Michigan Daily-Saturday, April 12, 1980-Page 3 AB OR TION AND COUNSELING A VAILABLE Clinics help pregnancy problems By ELEONORA DI LISCIA 1 any women have faced the crisis in deciding how to handle an unwanted pregnancy. Three Ann Arbor agencies offer help to such women, two by providing first-trimester abortions and the other by counseling those who wish to continue their pregnancies. The two establishments-Planned Parenthood at 912 N. Main St. and Family Planning Associates at 2301 S. ron Parkway-are similar in cost d procedures. The fee for abortions at both clinics is $180, including lab tests, counseling, and a pelvic examination before the abortion is per- formed. Both clinics provide free check-ups for patients two weeks after their abortions. The major differences between the two clinics are the volume and type of clinic. Family Planning Associates is a private office run by Dr. Sima Teodor- ,. According to a receptionist at mily Planning Assoiciates, Sue Olds, Teodorvic performs an average of 12.abortions a week. Abortions can be scheduled almost any time, she said. PLANNED PARENTHOOD is a larger private, non-profit clinic which also offers vasectomies, birth control counseling and supplies and pregnancy testing services. Planned Parenthood only performs abortions on Tuedday and Friday mornings, according to receptionist Anna Shine. They handle an average of thirty women per mor- ning, or 60 per week, she said. At Planned Parenthood, the entire procedure takes about four hours. Patients are given blood and urine tests, counseling, and the procedure on the same day. The operation is private, but the recovery room after the procedure is shared with five or six other patients. FAMILY PLANNING prefers to schedule the lab tests and counseling a few days before the procedure. "We can arrange to have counseling on the same day. We find: that if we do it earlier, women are more relaxed when they come back," said Olds. While there may be a few people in the waiting room before the procedure, there is usually one patient per recovery room and occasionally two. Both clinics allow patients to have a guest and/or a counselor in the operating room. Pain relievers or tranquilizers are given to patients upon request. SOME PATIENTS interviewed said Planned Parenthood is somewhat im- personal. "If you want the physicalact of having an abortion it seemed a good place. The people seemed competent and did all the things they were sup- posed to do. On the other hand if having an abortion is. something you're worried or unsure about, it could be a bad place because the way its done is very mechanical and not much atten- tion to the individual is given," said one 26-year-old woman. Planned Parenthood receptionist Shine disagrees that the clinic is imper- sonal. "I feel its a really supportive agency. You're not made to feel like you're one of many. The counselors are really supportive. Most women say its not half as bad as they expected." Another woman who went to Planned Parenthood said she found being in a group of women comforting. "At first I felt uneasy, but then when I was in for the procedure, it was kind of neat to know that everyone in the room was going through the same thing. The age range was tremendous, and that was comforting to me. They (Planned Parenthood) were sensitive to anything I raised as a concern," she said. A STUDENT WHO went to Family Planning said she was very pleased with the individual care patients received. "They treated me really well as an individual. I didn't feel like an assembly line." For women who chose not to abort their pregnancy, Abortion Alternatives may offer. assistance. According to Gretchen Kronenberger, Abortion Alternatives can provide counseling, jhelp locate a job or housing, line up an expectant mother with agencies that can aid her financially, or just donate a set of baby clothes. The volunteer organization, which fun- ctions on private donations, maintains an office and 24-hour answering ser- vice. "We are anti-aborive, but you have to back this up and provide alter- natives," said Kronenberger. EACH OF THE above organizations give pregnancy tests and counseling. However, pregnancy tests are also given at the University Health Service and most any medical clinic. Additional counseling can be received at the University Counseling Service or the Women's Crisis Center. In Ann Arbor, University Hospital may do second trimester abortions at the discretion of the doctor., according to hospital spokespersons. MSA fails to deliver student, handbooks Daily Photo by JOHN HAGEN Setter spot A frequent visitor at the Rams Head Leather Works on Liberty St. naps through another of the dog days of Spring. (Continued from Page 1) "I DIDN'T FIND out until the middle of (last) term that it was my responsibility." Barr explained. She went on to say that aside from the time that she unsuccessfully attempted. to find the booklet's storage place, "I really haven't done anything with them." "It'screally an unfortunate event," Barr continued, "it's one of those things when everybody sort of passes Oe buck." MSA President Jim Alland said he was unaware that the handbooks had not been distributed and accepted responsibility for not following up on the matter; "I assumed that it had been taken care of," Alland explained, "Had I been aware that there had been books still remaining, I would've gotten someone on it right away." MSA President-elect Marc *reakstone said that because he, too,1 was unaware of the distribution problem he could not comment on how his administration would handke the problem. John Stapleton, assistant manager for the University Cellar, which had taken out a half-page advertisement in the handbook, said that he had contac- ted Alland early last fall when he became aware that the honklit' distribution had been delayed. Sap- pington said that Alland had told him that "they (MSA) were going to do what they could to correct it (the distribution problem)." Alland said that following his conver- sation"with Sappington, he assigned several work-study employees in the MSA office to distribute some of the booklets. Asa result, several hundred booklets were distributed to several University buildings. The majority of the booklets, however, remained in the Union basement. Charles Leahy, executive vice- president for Ann Arbor Bank and Trust Company, which took out a full- page advertiseent in the handbook, said, "If we were told we would pay forthe ad based on circulation ... then I'm upset." Leahy said that his bank would follow up on the matter with MSA. Other advertisers echoed Leahy's sentiments. A spokesperson for Ulrich's Bookstore, which took out a half-page advertisement, said, _"Ob- viously, I'm not very pleased." Cynthia Grzelak, a member of the Huron Valley National Bank Adver- tising staff, which also bought a half- page advertisement, said, "I'm disap- pointed, certainly." Grzelak's bank also plans to pursue the matter with MSA. Denver pushes for cooperation to battle world hunger problem (Continued from Page 1) on a downward spiral." According to the singer, the solution to this problem will come not by spending more money on more programs, but by a total effort by concerned people. However, Denver says he is op- timistic about the future of the world. "I believe the world was made to work. There need not be a single child star- ving," he said., "if this becomes the people's will to make this come true." Directing his comments to the young people in the audience, he said that "It's your energy and commitment that is going to turn it around." A SIMILAR effort should be made, Denver said, to decrease the "separateness" that pagues the world now. "We are here for each other, not against each other," he said. "We've forgotten that we're all human beings." Denver complained of the large amounts of money spent on political campaigns, and citizens' lack of political interest between elections. He also condemned the federal gover- nment for increasing defense spen- ding-a move that kills rather than , J. saves lives, he said. "There's not a leader in the bunch," Denver said, referring to the politicians in Washington; yet he added that "the government is a reflection of how much we (the American people) care-we're getting what we deserve." HE ALSO CITED the failure of the government to successfully help solve the energy shortage. "We have everything we need to put up solar satelittes in space to supply solar power. This was possible four years ago," he said. The answers to these problems, ac- cording to Denver, will not be found easily. "It will not come out of a divine miracle," he said, solutions will come "when people begin to make use of their consciousness and make choices toward life with working together, rather than death and separateness." Denver added that people must "start looking at the world in a larger sense. We must think of ourselves as; citizens of the world first before we think of ourselves as Americans or Democrats. Denver began his involvement in the hunger movement because of his desire to do something to help the world, he said. "I'm going to change the world," declared an enthusiastic Denver. "Will youdoitwithme?" His concert and speech stop in Ann Arbor, he explained, is part of a seven month tour of 89 cities across the nation in an effort to "get out and educate the public and start talking about the issue."

T reasury delays tax refund check delivery WASHINGTON (AP)-The Treasury Department is delaying sending about $3 billion in tax refund checks for a few days just to be sure there will be enough money in its accounts to cash them. The delay, from yesterday until Mon- day, reflects "conservative cash management policies" by the Treasury, said a spokesman. He said. there probably would have been enough money to cover the tax checks if they had been mailed as planned. "IT WAS REALLY a decision to get refund checks to recipients on Tuesday, rather than Monday, which simply reflects the Treasury's cash management policy during this period of a seasonally heavy drain of gover- nment cash," said the spokesman, who did not want to be identified. The Treasury's cash needs have in- creased sharply in recent weeks, in part because of tax refund payments, but also because of large-scale redem- ption of Saving Bonds and of U.S. government securities byaforeign in- vestors. The spokesman said the Treasury Department tries to keep its cash balances as low as possible to keep its interest costs on borrowed money to a minimum. Although he didn't say so, he indicated the current cash balance may have fallen too low. TAX REFUNDS are up 20 per cent so far this year compared to 1979. If the present trend continues, 1980 refunds will total more than $42 billion, up from $35.3 billion in 1979. . The average refund is $591 this year, up more than $100 over the 1979 average of $490. A spokesman for the Internal Revenue Service, Larry Batdorf, said the normal yearly increase in the average refund is about $40. The final deadline for filing tax returns is April 15, this Tuesday. The Treasury spokesman said "it's not illogical" to conclude that Treasury money managers ordered a delay in sending checks to guard against the possibility that there might not be enough money to cash them.

THE FRONT (Martin Ritt, 1976) ':40-MLB3 WOODY ALLEN is wonderfully comic as Howard Prince-The Front America's most unlikely hero, paid by blacklisted writers to put his name on their work. The first theatrical movie to focus on the scandalous period of McCarthyism that plagued the entertainment industry during the 1950's. Two of the stars, ZERO MOSTEL and HERSCHEL BERNARDI, the director Ritt, and the writer Walter Bernstein were all blacklisted in real life. WOMEN IN LOVE (Ken Russell, 1970) 7& 9:15-MLB4 A masterful adaptation of the D.H. Lawrence novel, and an encyclopedia of filmmaking technique.
