Mentor: Girls went to Caldicott lecture a Continued from Page 1A tively close to the ages of the girls in the program, and they repre sent living examples of girls she defines as “adolescent survivors.” TenEyck said the facilitators volunteered from about two to six hours either in training or work ing with the girls. She said the fa cilitators helped set up support communities in schools to help build trust among the girls. The program also created grounds for discussion about setting goals and the realities of life. TenEyck said the discussions between the girls and the facilita tors shed some light on life. “Those [realities] are not the things really happening on Mel rose Place," she said. “We just don’t have a system in our society where girls can go into adulthood without a struggle.” The most recent program facili tated by Girls Incorporated was a field trip to hear Dr. Helen Caldicott speak on campus. Ten Eyck said Caldicott, an outspoken opponent of nuclear weapons and founding member of Physicians for Social Responsibility, served as a wonderful and inspiring role model for the girls who attended the lecture. Teresa Harter, executive direc tor of Girls Incorporated, said one of the main focuses is to keep girls interested in math and science in an effort to pave the way to better careers. She said the reason the University volunteers are paired up with middle school girls is be cause there is a different social dynamic in middle school than in elementary school, causing a set back that shows up in their grades. Harter said the new social dy namic occurs when girls reach puberty, or around the time they enter middle school. She said boys generally do not reach pu berty until sometime during the eighth grade, when they have had more time to adjust to middle school. Both Harter and TenEyck fur ther applauded the efforts of Uni versity volunteers because all of the meetings and schools they at tended were off campus. TenEyck said the facilitators of Girls Incor porated are trying to work with the ASUO Women's Center in or der to create more of a campus presence. The program already receives funding from the Univer sity through the Canter for the Study of Women in Society on campus. There will be an informational meeting for any women interest ed in volunteering to participate in Girls Incorporated. TenEyck said only women are needed to serve as volunteers, but men are welcome to help in other ways. Students interested in volunteer ing for this program can contact Carol TenEyck at 345-0683. Tapes might trap another president By Jim Abrams The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Newly disclosed videotapes of White House coffees with political donors could force Attorney General Janet Reno to rethink her decision not to request an independent counsel to investi gate President Glinton. Republi cans said Sunday. “We didn’t even know aboul them, and that really bothers us," said Rep. Dan Burton, R Ind., chairman of the House Government Reform Commit tee. "We’re going to check very thoroughly into the logs of the White House to make sure we get all of those videotapes,” he said on Fox News Sunday. Time magazine, in its edition on newsstands Monday, re vealed that the White House has begun to turn over to the Justice Department and Con gress tapes of more than 100 fund-raising coffees and din ners Clinton gave in 1995 and 1996.
