Sharon Mcginnis's job is other people's
problems. A counselor in the Student
Mental Health Service, she is one of seven
staff members available to help students
cope with the typical and not so typical
traumas of college life.
Tm here for whatever they want to talk
about, Meginnis says.
Students who visit her office on the second
floor of the infirmary talk about everything
from identity crises to problem pregnancies.
"The people we see here are not nuts."
Meginnis stresses. "They are having
common adjustment problems that many
college students go through.
Meginnis says such problems often
involve relationships with parents,
boyfriends, girlfriends and roommates.
Students have trouble coping, she says.
"Many have no self-confidence. she says.

"They don't realize that everybody's out
there floundering."
Meginnis herself wasn't always sure what
she wanted to do. She graduated from
Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in 1965
and taught high school English for the next
four years. While teaching, she decided to go
into counseling.
She received her master's in counseling
from the University of Georgia in 1972 and
came to UNC that summer.
Meginnis said there were no women on the
permanent staff of the UNC Mental Health
Service at that time.
"Now there are three of us." she says with a
smile. Meginnis thinks this is important
because more women than men come in for
counseling.
She adds that women often find it easier to
talk to another woman about their problems
because she can better understand what
they're going through.
This is particularly true in problem

volunteers from Phi M u. Alpha Delta Pi and
Sigma Chi will be present on both Tuesday
and Wednesday to distribute cookies and
care for donors. In addition. 10 Red Cross
nurses and five student nurses will be on
duty.
A goal of 700 pints of blood is set for a
campus this size. Frank Wyche. Inter
Fraternity Council vice president, said.
People who have already pledged their
blood are scheduled to give on Tuesday.
Those who want to give blood but have not
pledged may come from 1 1 a.m. to noon and
at any time on Wednesday.
Since only 550 donor pledge cards have
been received, all students and Chapel Hill
residents are urged to donate a pint of blood.
Donors must be from between 18 and 65
and weigh at least 1 10 pounds. They must
not be pregnant or have a medical history of
malaria, hepatitis, high blood pressure or
heart problems. One pint may be donated
every 8 weeks.
Anyone who gives blood receives a donor
card which entitles him or any members of
his immediate family to free blood for the
next year.
The Red Cross does not send blood to the
Mideast except when they request it. The
blood that is used in Egypt and Israel is
collected by the Red Cross from volunteers
in those countries.

pregnancy counseling, she says. It was one of
the things she was hired to do.
The whole area of sexual behavior is a
really tricky one." she says. I wanted to do
what I could to help University students."
A girl with a problem pregnancy is
referred to the Mental Health Service by her
physician, who also provides some
counseling.
Meginnis talks to each student about her
personal feelings on pregnancy and reviews
possible alternatives, including keeping the
child, giving it up for adoption or abortion.
She tries to focus on each woman's
individual needs.
"Basically my goal is to help her make a
decision that she is comfortable with, and
then help facilitate that decision," she says.
Many coeds opt for abortion. Meginnis
explains the procedures to them and pulls
out diagrams from her crowded desk to
illustrate technical points. She discusses
psychological aspects of abortion and
generally lets a girl know what to expect.
But the large majority of students
Meginnis sees are troubled by problems
other than pregnancy.
Women often come to talk over their
problems they have with men.
Meginnis says many of them have to
answer the question: "Am I going to be
myself or define myself in terms of a man?"
Added pressures and choices confuse
women. Meginnis says: "Being a woman
today is tough. You used to know what was
expected of you."
Meginnis says she wants people to feel
comfortable when they come talk to her. "I
try to present myself as a person and not as a
shrink," she says with a grin.
But she doesn't always wait for people to
come to her. She goes to some on an
outreach basis.
"Let's talk about contraception." she says.

"not wait around for someone tocomcinfor
abortion counseling."
Meginnis calls this preventive mental
health. It involves frequent meetings with
dorm resident advisers and various campus
groups.
"I try to make people aware of common
problems and their symptoms." she says.
"It's helping others help others."
That's her goal, whether it's counseling on
a one-to-one basis in her office or leading a
discussion in a dorm lounge. She is working
on her doctorate at the University so she can
continue in counseling.
Meginnis likes her job but no one day is
typical.
Every hour is different," she says. "The
problems may be common, but the people
arc unique."

Here's how.
If you qualify, the Air Force ROTC will give you free flying lessons. It'll be in a Cessna
150 you're started towards the day when you'll solo in an Air Force jet.
That's only one of the fringe benefits of the Air Force ROTC Program. Consider all
this:
Scholarships 6,500 of them that cover full tuition. Plus reimbursement for text
books. Plus lab and incidental fees.
Plus $100 a month, tax-free, to use as you like.
