(Soup counseling involves about four to ten people meeting with one or two counselors serving as group lead ers. Group leaders work to provide a safe, confidential environment where group members are free to discuss their problems and concerns. Through the group, members identify with others who are experiencing similar issues and increase their self-awareness by obtaining genuine and honest feedback. How much you talk about yourself depends on what you are comfortable with. You can benefit from group even when you are saying little because you will learn about yourself as others talk about their concerns. Make an appointment at the SCS to speak to a screening counselor to help you determine if a group might benefit you. # Biofeedback Workshop Monday 5:00 - 6:30 p.m. Thursday 5:00 - 6:30 p.m. One-session workshops designed to give students an introduction to relaxation techniques, including how biofeedback aids in relaxation.

A Republican victory on calling Monica Lewinsky and others could extend the trial indefinitely, said Sen. Tom Daschle. And he specu lated that it also could lead to a Senate-floor spectacle of 100 sena tors watching her "point to where the president touched her.” Republican Sen. Jon Kyi dis missed the warning as "all-or- nothing” scare tactics — “just not true.” As Daschle commented, White House lawyers honed the defense presentation they will begin Tlies- day. It will focus on conflicts in tes timony, a strategy that would be aimed at undercutting House charges of perjury and obstruction of justice but that also could open the way to Republican demands for witnesses to help resolve the dis putes. The White House has been fighting that demand, but now ex pects witnesses, officials said. White House Counsel Charles F.C. Ruff will spend several hours presenting opening defense argu ments before the trial recesses for Clinton's State of the Union ad dress in the House chamber where the president was impeached. Daschle, in an interview with The Associated Press, acknowl edged the Democrats apparently have lost their fight with majority Republicans to conclude the trial without live testimony from wit nesses. But the potential results were still being hotly disputed. “Once we say we have to have witnesses, then it seems to me we’ve given up the ability to tell the House or White House how to pre sent their case,” Daschle said. White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart said anew that the Clinton side is ready to argue its case without witnesses even though live testimony might bring “exculpatory information” to the Letters flood Senators’ ta M WASHINGTON (AP ter begins with praisefr porter of Republican Se' Chafee of Rhode Islanc fine governor he used® record in the Senate-‘s So far so good. “Please be advised/ that in the event that w. cast a vote in favor of n William Jefferson Clintor devote every breath in r and every nickel in my pt the noble cause of ensun ffl he sta a new meste he berfect or Texas A Jniversity t nake a Ne> 'ear’s resol ion.

Mar tin Luther King Jr. “I thought it would be a really neat thing for the kids to see a ral ly and to see a march in action,” said teacher Caitlin Wittig, who or ganized the events. Wittig hails from the Washing ton, D.C. area where such events are common, unlike the Lower Rio Grande Valley where she now teaches. • “Martin Luther King used non violent protest in such a successful way that it would be a good thing for the students to see it in action.” Wittig’s 9th through 12th graders at Options in Education High School spent weeks reading about King, reading his famous *T Have a Dream” speech and watch ing videos on the civil rights movement. They were among numerous Texans events celebrating Martin Luther King Day with services, speeches, and marches. In McAllen, after a rally Monday evening featuring speeches, poems and songs from students ranging from second grade through high school, Wittig’s students were to tradition” lead a two-and-a-halflz .erve as sy earn ami i pie Emanuel : lead muse- vice. it the grav "It’s been excitingii r Reveilles h have a project to work o:IB holiday,” Wittig said. “IlIB them some insight intoDi il Luther King.” The events were also r ® kick off the students’ pattr.® in the 1999 Do Somethin;* ness & Justice Challenge, week event sponsored by ;■ Something organization jj§ which students from acrosiM tion are encouraged to he: and stand up for what’srigir, | Srmr Your Fumi WORK PRRT- wne now...
