The volunteer can help them work through the problem enough to perhaps determine if the client needs further help. But then it's better if the client himself makes that phone call, or visit to the agency." Although the center deals with many clients, Molinari feels it can accommodate still more. "It's wrong for people to feel a finality about their problems," he says. "Some seem to have the feeling that they are-what they are, and that going to someone is just further evidence of their own helplessness.

"But they can certainly check out and explore with us whether we can be of help to them. We do not judge. We make no diagnostic statements or conclusions. We don't shunt them off on others, and don't try to put them in a mold. "Basically, if there's something on their minds or if they'd just like to talk something over with someone, we're here." Interested persons, says Molinari may call the center (it's listed in the telephone book) or may drop in personally.

Appointments also can be made by calling the Hotline. I I 1 By ANN LEDESMA Home Newt staff writer EAST BRUNSWICK Many people with problems, in need of an objective listener, find the Community Resource Center is their bridge over troubled water. The term bridge is appropriate since the center can serve as a step between the problem and professional help if this is what the client wishes and needs. Or, it can be simply a place where the troubled of all ages can talk about what's bothering them and be assured of confidentiality. The center, free of charge and open to everyone, is located in Central School on Cranbury Road.

Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 4 and 9:30 p.m., it's a clean-drop, in-person hotline. "Basically, it's for people who have problems and don't know where to turn for help," says its dynamic organizer, psychologist Dominick Molinari. "Sometimes, being able to talk to someone who can accept what you say without making judgments is enough to help find a solution. Other times, it may be necessary to look for an answer over a longer period of time. "Should this be the case," Molinari adds, "the center equipped to help you find the right agency if you wish to do so." The Citizens Council to Combat Drug is the parent organization of both the center and the township's Hotline.

"But more than 50 per cent of our clients at the center are over 20, and their problems are not drug-related," says Molinari. The center has been operating for almost a year. "It came about," Molinari recalls, "when we found that a number of hotline callers seemed to want more than anonymous voice situations. They felt a need for face-to-face contact with the listener." A psychologist at New York's Brandeis High School, Molinari structured the center along the lines of a reach-out program at the high school, through which part-time and full-time paraprofessional adult personnel spend after-school time with students, tutoring and listening. These workers receive pay, but the center's staff of a dozen listeners works on a purely volunteer basis.

Only the first names of both client and listener are used. All the volunteers went through an initial period of 20 hours of sensitivity training and 44 hours of training in concepts the techniques of listening and interviewing and the basics of adult and adolescent psychology. All of these sessions are conducted by Molinari. During the sessions, representatives of the Catholic Welfare Bureau, the Family Counseling Service and the Middlesex Rehabilitation Hospital attended and expressed their willingness to serve as referrals. "Te community has been wonderfully cooperative," said Molinari Volunteers range in age and background, o.nne have had no previous experience with the troubled; others like Elliane, a former social worker, have had.

a great deal. Clients and their problems also range in age and background, said Elliane, who prefers to adhere to the first-name-only rule. Listeners, who usually staff the center two at a time, talk with everyone parents seeking "to understand- their children, or teens with parent trou-bles, a husband, or wife with a marital difficulty, or a lonely older person who feels unneeded. "We don't try to provide answers," Elliane explains. "We might ask questions that help the person to express what's on their mind, help them clarify the problem more, to themselves.

"Usually, we will see them three or four times. Some situations have gone on longer, but usually, after a few visits the person has a better idea of where he wants to go from here. Should the client wish to go on for professional help or to an agency, Molinari adds, "we will, of course, provide them with a list of agencies and do all we can to facilitate referral."

WASHINGTON Pollution free electric power from nuclear fusion new hope against an energy crisis is the goal of a research team of Rutgers University physicists, it was announced at the spring meeting of the American Physical Society.

The result of such research could represent an inex-, pensive, inexhaustible form of nuclear power for man-. kind, university officials believe. The team of 10 Rutgers scientists and physicist from Florida State University, headed by a Rutgers phys-. ics professor, Dr." Bogdan C. Maglic, presented three papers on the project, terming the concept "an entirely new approach to controlled fusion." The potential is a "generator unit installed in the basement of a conventional single-family home, the university said.

Miniaturization," the Yugoslav-born scientist pointed out, "will allow us to create a family power source no larger than a central air conditioning unit." Nuclear fusion, it is believed, would eliminate the. negative factors of nuclear fission, as used today. Fission is described as a splitting of the atom. One of the dan-' gers of fission is radiation, and it also contains the possibility of explosion and considerable pollution. Fusion is a bringing together of nuclei, which Maglic hopes to achieve through a device called "the migma machine." His project was first reported by The Home News in November.

The papers presented today will spell out the concept. In the migmacell, atomic nuclei are aimed and fired against each other so that they collide and fuse instead of being heated, as in plasma fusion devices. The nuclei in the migmacell are whirled into motion by a beam-rotating technique similar to that of a kitchen mixer, except that the beaters turn at a speed of billions of revolutions per minute. This colliding blend of accelerated nuclei is termed "migma" from the Greek word for "mixture," the university said. of the unique characteristics of the migmacell approach to fusion is that the device would breed its own fuel.

The nuclear energy generated in the migmacell can be converted directly into electric energy, without the use of steam to drive a conventional turbine. "This will make it possible to produce a clean, non-polluting power source," Maglic pointed out. "But it will require about 10 years or $100 million whichever comes first." A team member, Dr. Robert A. Miller, presented data illustrating how the density of a migma can be increased 300 times.

"This would mean that one migmacell five inches in diameter could yield at least one kilowatt of electric power," he said. Dr. Michael Mazarakis, another member of the team, also reported that when the power input of controlled fusion is doubled, "there should be four times as much power per second." "When yoiKmultiply the input 10 times," he added, "you should be able to achieve a fusion rate 100 times as great." Maglic has applied for a patent for the device. Rutgers President Edward J. Bloustein has said that the university is setting up the Rutgers Physical Research and Education Foundation to develop the patent when it is granted.

Although the university is being cautious in its predictions regarding the potentialities of the device, officials have said that "if it works, it could be very significant." 7 W4a ii lililllWlilllliiB TEAMWORK Psychologist Dominick Molinari, organizer of the Resource Center, with listener Elliane.

Mi Asian students see threatin Marcos' daughter entering Princeton In a meeting with university President William Bowen and other administration officials Thursday, the students association presented its demands, which include "full participation" in the establishment of any special arrangements with the Marcos family, and the power to decide if those arrangements are satisfactory. At the meeting, Bowen promised to grant a special advisory status to the Asian students on the question of Miss Marcos' security arrangements but he emphasized that the university must make the final decision on the arrangement. President Marcos has been severely critized in recent months for his declaration of martial law and his establishment of a new constitution.

tests in their consideration of applicants. The real issue is in fact the 'special arrangement' that the coming of Imee Marcos will necessitate," Yee said. He pointed out that if Miss Marcos is allowed to come to Princeton with a sizable security force, the "actions and thoughts" of Filipino and other Asian students would be severely restricted. "Any anti-Marcos sentiments on the part of individuals will set them apart as targets of repression persons to be carefully watched and followed by the security guards who will feel that they are a threat to the safely of Imee Marcos," he said. "The repression of individuals will be the repression of the Asian community as a whole." qualification of each applicant," he said.

"The admissions office does not and will not apply political tests of any kind in its consideration of cases," Rudenstine continued. "This has been and will remain Princeton's policy." The dean added that any "special circumstances" which might affect the situation of an admitted student are discussed "by the applicant, the family and the relevant university administrators" after admissions decisions are released. Junior Alan Yee, a coordinator of the students association, replied to Rudenstine's statement by charging "it really evades the issue." "The question has never been whether the admissions office applies political Students Association claimed, "We want to stress that our views on the Marcos regime have nothing to do with our stand on the coming of Imee Marcos to Princeton. "However, our views as Asians on the Marcos regime have everything to do with the great possibility that we would become a special target of the security apparatus that Ms. Marcos would bring with her," the statement continued.

Dean Neil Rudenstine responded to questions concerning Miss Marcos' admission by pointing out that political issues have no influence on undergraduate admission procedures.

This is the conclusion of a group of undergraduates. They fear that if Miss Marcos accepts the offer to attend Princeton, she would be accompanied by a security force which would "directly threaten" the well-being of Asian undergraduates.
