Chicago .fiatholic Women, a reform-advocating organization, has
called for a ooycott of churches on this Mother’s Day, protesting
exclusion of women from governance of Roman Catholicism. The
group, which scheduled a demonstration Sunday on the cathedral
steps here, distributed a brochure saying all church laws and rules
about women "are made solely by the following men” — a male pope,
151 male cardinals (nine in the United States) and, 3,238 male
bishops (352 in the United States). Although 55 percent of church
members are women, “the church has zero women in its governing,
decision making body,” the group said. “Women have the right to
participate ir decisions which affect their lives.”

BEIJING (AP): 211 Tianamen protesters released.
China announced Thursday it had released 211 jailed pro-democracy
protesters, including several prominent academics, in a move that
appeared timed to head off possible U.S. trade sanctions. All had
signed petitions or otherwise showed support for the democratic
reforms demanded last spring by hundreds of thousands of protesters
in Beijing and other cities. The protests ended in June when the army
opened fire on the demonstrators, killing hundreds and possibly
thousands. The official Xinhua News Agency described those released
as lawbreakers and said they were “given lenient treatment and
released upon completion of investigations.” The releases still leave
hundreds of people unaccounted for. Arrests reported by the official
media hist summer alone totaled more than 2,000, and arrests
continued during the fall and winter.

Psych grad students serve community
while staffing UGA Psychology Clinic
By DAN POOL
Contributing Writer
Some graduate psychology stu-
I dents are gaining valuable experi-
| ence while working on their
PhDs, and at the same time are
i providing a much-needed service to
the community.
About 30 graduate students
make up the majority of the Uni
versity’s Psychology Clinic staff
The students work under the su
pervision of faculty members to
provide clinical therapy to stu
dents and local residents.
The clinic differs from the Gil
bert Mental Health Center because
j the clinic uses graduate students
as counselors.
Karen Pape, an assistant at the
| clinic, said too many different
kinds of problems are seen at the
clinic to describe them all.
“We see children with emotional
problems who are having trouble
adapting, couples having
relationship problems and people
who are depressed, but it is not
limited to these problems,” she
said.
Some other problems the clinic
treats, according to its brochure,
are anxiety, * family interaction,
sexual problems, stress manage
ment, rape and incest.
The clinic has been providing
this service since 1916, when it
was founded by A.S. Edwards. Ed
wards also founded the psychology
department.
The clinic treats about 200 cli
ents per year, Pape said. She said
clinic officials have to refer some
people seeking help to other psy
chology facilities because of a lack
of therapists.
The clinic, which is located on
the first floor of the psychology
building, is available to anyone
living in Northeast Georgia. Cou
ples, families, children and adults
are all eligible for treatment at the
facility.
When someone comes to the
clinic, he is given an appointment
with an intake worker, who ex
plains the procedures of the clinic
involving payments and confiden
tiality, Pape said. The intake
worker then finds out the nature of
the problem and turns the case
over to a therapist, who will make
an appointment with the client.
Sometimes clients are put on a
waiting list before they receive

interaction, rape and
incest.
help, she said. But the wait is
never more than two weeks before
the client is referred to another
clinic for help.
The clinic charges a “sliding
scale fee,” which means they take
the income and the number of de
pendents the client has into ac
count when setting the fee.
Ted Turner lashes out against U.S. interference’ in China
The Associated Press
BEIJING - Cable News Net
work owner Ted Turner said
Thursday that the United States
interferes far too often in the af
fairs of other nations. He said this
includes U.S. action following the
massive, pro-democrary movement
in China last year.
In a speech to foreign journalists
in Beijing, Turner said the Chinese
government “felt forced to" call in
troops to end the movement.
‘The thing that drives me most
crazy and makes me most embar
rassed is the fact that our leaders
feel they have the right to interfere
in the aiTairs of other countries and
tell them what to do,” he said.
“I personally don’t feel that’s
done a bit of good,” he added.
Turner was asked what he felt
the U.S. response should have been
to China’s violent crackdown on
pro-democracy demonstrators last
June 3-4.
The government’s action left
hundreds, and perhaps thousands,
of people dead in the streets.
After the crackdown, the United
States banned high-level contacts,
imposed economic sanctions, al
lowed Chinese students in the
United States to overstay their
visas and criticized China for
human rights abuses.
Beijing has repeatedly accused
Washington of “interfering in
China’s internal affairs.”
Turner said, “Whatever we are
trying to accomplish, we would ac
complish more by saying that a tra
gedy occurred (and that) we bleed
for the students as well as for those
in government and the soldiers
who felt forced to take that action.
“You catch more flies with
honey,” he said.
He also said the thousands of
students who occupied central
Beijing’s Tiananmen Square for
weeks “were breaking the law.”
Turner was in Beijing for a
meeting of the Better World So
ciety, a Washington-based group of
which he is founder and chairman.
On Friday, Turner and the so
ciety’s board of directors plan to
meet with Premier Li Peng, a con
servative who supported the army
crackdown.
Lowery plans to ‘sit in a circle’ with Klansmen
J The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The
I president of the Southern Chris-
| tian Leadership Conference, pre
paring to teach a race-relations
course to Ku Klux Klansmen, said
he will talk about the human
family, but not all of his students
may be listening.
“I don’t know what he’s going to
say, but he’s not going to change
my way of thinking,” said Roger
Handley, a former Klan leader in
Birmingham who was accused of
attacking an SCLC march in De
catur in 1979.
The Rev. Joseph Lowery, who or
ganized the Decatur march, is to
lead a race-relations course Sat
urday for the Klansmen as part of
a court settlement growing out of
the bloody clash 11 years ago.
Lowery said he plans to talk
about “the oneness of the human
family” and how the Wansmen
themselves may have been ex
ploited by demagogic leadership.
He said he plans to sit in a circle
with the former Wansmen and at
tempt an informal discussion.
Told of Lowery’s plan to make
the two-hour session informal,
Handley said, “Good. Maybe I’ll
convert him.”
Handley, 44-year-old disabled
sheet-metal worker, called the dis
cussion a “waste of time.”
“I don’t believe in integration, I
don’t believe in interbreeding. I
don’t hate anybody, but I’m not
going to change my way of thinking
on that,” he said.
Lowery would not disclose the
location of the meeting because he
doesn’t want reporters to attend.
“I don’t think the Wan would co
operate if news media people were
sitting in the room, he said.
‘They’ve got to protect their pride,
and I think they’d turn it into a
circus.
“At best, it’s going to be difficult
to have a serious discussion.”
The meeting grew out of a law
suit against the Wan by Mont
gomery attorney Morris Dees of the
Southern Poverty Law Center.
Dees said that in the Decatur
clash, Handley gave the order for
Klansmen to fire on black
marchers led by Lowery on behalf
of Tommy Lee Hines, a retarded
black man convicted of raping a
white woman.
Four men, two blacks and two
whites, were wounded in an ex
change of gunfire. No one was fa
tally wounded.
An FBI investigation failed to
bring criminal charges in 1980, but
information Dees gathered led to
criminal indictments in 1984
against nine Wansmen, including
Handley, who served four months
in prison.
