[ coming to the Center has increased
because they are becoming more aware the
' Center, exists. He said he expects a reduction
; in the waiting list in spring, since during the
, winter people are “cramped up and unable to
' get'in Idts of exercise and blow off steam.”
Ingram said few people' know that a
'Psychiatrist and a psychologist are always on

' HepltKCenter. “We' have two people 24-
Kours-a-day covering this place,” he said..
(!? Crisis calls at the Centre County Women’s
Resource Center and the Oasis Help Center
downtown also have increased, according to
officials.
-w;‘«\Ve are getting more crisis calls (this
' .winter),” said Antya Miller, a Women’s
0. Resource Center volunteer, “but I would
' attribute it to the Center being more well
known.!’
- Dee. Dee Hileman from the Oasi's Help
Center said there seems to have been an
ihcrease in'crisis telephone calls this winter.
“That could be due to our publicity,”
Hileman said. Oasis has attached stickers to
dormitory phones listing its phone number.
The number of people —.both students and
non-students who contact On Drugs, Inc.
(0.D.) for help also has increased this
winter, according to O.D. Director Norm
Brown.

problems, too, because we’re open 24 hours a
day,” Brown said. “When other systems
close down, we get the overflow.”
Brown said the increase concerns him
since O.D. faces closing in April unless it can
raise $4,000 to $5,000 to renovate and move
into another building. The present structure
does not meet state safety regulations, ac
cording to Brown.
He added that if O.D. shuts down, he
worries about its clients and the people it
refers to the Mental Health Clinic and the
Base Service Counseling Unit in Bellefonte.
Brown said these people might not
otherwise know about the mental health
facilities available to them. “People are
using us as the first contact,” he said. “We
help a person get through the red tape and
bureaucracy.”
“We probably would see some'of their
cases, (although) not a great number,”
Ingram said. “They do see a lot of people who
are talked down and don’t have to come
here," Ingram said, and he added that this
contact helps the Mental Health Center.
Ingram said he’d like to see an in-patient
psychiatric care service established at the
Mountafnview Unit of Centre County
Hospital and more psychiatrists in town. He
said that currently only two psychiatrists
(one full-time, one part-time) take non
student State College patients.
