An Egyptian archaeologist is working
to save his country's famous pyramids
and Sphinx from ravages of time and
pollution through a U.S. tour.
Dr. Zahi Hawass, chief archaeologist
for the Great Pyramids area and arch-
aeological adviser to Egypt’s Minister
of Culture, on Friday spoke at NT as
part of his crusade.
Hawass stressed that people must start
maintaining the pyramids and Sphinx,
or the structures will not be standing
in 200 years.
“Everyone thinks they are indes-
tructible, when in fact they are not,”
he said.
He presented slides on the interiors
and exteriors of the Great Pyramids and
the Sphinx, which are located at Giza,
near Cario, Egypt. The slides also
showed archaeological digs, findings and
renovation efforts.
The Sphinx is a structure with the
head of a man and the body of a lion.
“It and the Great Pyramids contain
many passages and tunnels that lead to
mummifications and valuable items that
belonged to the Egyptians,” he said.
Hawass, an expert on the entire
pyramids' archaeological complex, was
featured in a recent television program,
“Mysteries of the Pyramids.” Omar
Sharif was host of the show, and it was
televised on Denton cable television in
the spring. During the program, Hawass
discussed new dicoveries that are being
made at this eariy pharaonic site.
Hawass earned a bachelor degree in
archaeology at Cario University and a
doctorate in Egyptology from the
University of Pennsylvania.
While Hawass is in the United States,
he will appear at local institutions as
part of the Ramses II Lecture Series.
The Ramses II exhibit is sponsored by
the Dallas Museum of Natural History.

Counseling center limits visits
to help more people, official says
H It has been my experience that
a student who is having personal
problems can ... resolve those
problems within four to six sessions. 99
—Dr. Tom Overton,
NT Counseling and Testing Center
By Tory Anne Sheppard
Daily Reporter
The NT Counseling and Testing Center has imposed a
limit of eight once-a-week sessions on individual counseling, a
center official said.
“The philosophy of the center is to provide as much
care to as many students as possible, within our limitations,
and to refer more serious problems to outside mental health
facilities,” said Dr. Tom Overton, director of the center.
“This is a significant change compared to the 20- to
30-week limit per student that was followed last year,” he
said.
The new limit will allow the center to counsel 30 times
as many students as last year, he said, which means the
center will better meet needs of students.
“Last year was a crucial year for the center,” Overton
said. “We had over 245 students on the waiting list by
the end of September. We were unable to reach all the
students who seeked counseling.”
LIKE OTHER DEPARTMENTS of the university, the
center must cope with problems caused by NT’s growth.
Enrollment at NT is about 24,500, a 9.5 percent increase
from last fall’s count of 22,380.
“We lack the primary funds and facilities to be a
full-service mental health center,” he said.
The center’s staff decided to use the eight-limit policy
after studying other universities and private clinics. The
study found that the average patient attended six to 10
counseling sessions, Overton said.
“It has been my experience that a student who is having
personal problems can, with the help of a professional,
resolve those problems within four to six sessions,” he
said. In 1987 more than half of the students counseled quit
after that time, he said.
The percentage of students who need long-term counseling
beyond the eight-week period is small, Overton said. For
those who need further help, the center provides a referral
list of professionals who will counsel for a small fee or on
a sliding scale based on a patient’s income.
The center’s new policy will deter some students who
enroll for three hours of credit just to qualify for the
counseling services that are provided free for students.
Although not common, Overton said, it does happen.
THE CENTER COUNSELS about 200 students a year
who are in crisis situations or are contemplating suicide. If
students are experiencing a great deal of distress, a counselor
can see them within 10 to 15 minutes, he said. Seven
psychologists and nine graduate psychology students arc
on the center’s staff.
“My first consideration is the welfare of the students,
and no one who needs psychological counseling will be
turned away.
“1 see some positive outcomes from this new policy."
he said. “Students will probably get to the root of their
problems faster if they know that they have a limited amount
of sessions.”
Another positive result of the new policy is the center’s
ability to help more students than last year, he said.
The NT Counseling and Testing Center is open to NT
students, faculty and staff members. Counseling services
are free, and records of sessions are kept confidential.
The center, located on the third floor of the University
Union, is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Thursdays
and Fridays and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and
Wednesdays.
Egypt expert promotes pyramids
The exhibit will open to the publie from
March 6 to Aug. 31, 1989.
“This exhibit has been touring
Canada since 1986 and has tremendous
interest and attendance in every city it
has visited.” he said.
