Blain Stresses Importance
Of Psychiatry to Students
Mental health is especially im
portant to students, Dr. Daniel
Blain, medical director of the
American Psychiatric association,
said in an interview Wednesday.
Dr. Blain addressed students at
en all-university convocation this
morning. In the interview Wed
nesday, Blain said that psychiatry
concerns students in how they
develop, how they will get along
with their future families and in
getting jobs. Mental health is a
part of every day living, he said.
Blain commented on the fact
that there are "more psychiatrists
per patient in Nebraska than in
most states." The average ratio
throughout the country is one doc
tor for 300 patients.
Psychiatry in the United States
faces three problems, Blain said.
They are a shortage of person
nel, insufficient research and a
poor distribution of services. Psy
chiatry has no wonder-drugs like
penicillin and sulfa drugs, Blain
said, and psychiatric patients gen
erally require longer treatment
than other patients.
The solution to these problems
lie to some extent to increased
training in medical schools and in
more specialization, Blain said. In
his opinion, all doctors of the fu
ture will have some knowledge of
psychiatry.
The scope of psychiatry has
greately increased Blain remarked,
to include such fields as divorce,
alcoholism, labor misfits and accident-prone
individuals. Phychiat
rists are also concerned with nor
mal deviations in the average in
dividual, he noted.
Dr. Blain attended conferences
of the World Health Organiza
tion in Geneva in July and in

International Group of Mental
Hygiene Societies, is a branch of
the UN.

YM Fiim
Runs Special
Performance
"Stoneflower," the YMCA spon
sored Russian prize-winning film,
will have a special showing at
9:30 a. m. Saturday in Love li
brary auditorium. This new time
has been scheduled to enable
school children to view the movie.
The special showing will also
be open to the general public
Admission for children is 25 cents.
Adult admission is the same as
the Friday and Saturday evening
8 p. m. performances, 50 cents.
The film, noted for its brilliant
color pnd unusual plot, stars Vla
dimire Druzhnikow, Elene Derev
schikova and Tamara Makarova.
The story is based on a familiar
Russian fairy tale "moving ef
fortlessly from the world of the
real to the world of the marvel
ous." With the aid of a new color
process, the film creates a land of
enchantment on the screen.
According to one review, its
scenes deal with such imaginary
splendors "as the glittering cav
erns of Copper mountain cav
erns with twisted pillars of gleam
ing stone and with shimmering
walls encrusted with jewels."
Audiences viewing the film will
soon realize the reason for the
film winning the fJ st prize for
color from the Eu i ean Cannes
International Film festival.

benefits from the WHO which
were given to other countries by
the ECA.

"This is the greatest thing
since radio has been taught
here."
This was the statement made
by William Dempsey, director of
the University Radio department,
speaking of the alliance between
the radio department and
KFAB-FM.
Radio station KFAB-FM has
released enough radio time to
the University Radio department
so that the students will be able
to present one and one-quarter
hours of programs daily, Monday
through Friday.
"Student Production" will be
the watchword of the new series,
for the students themselves will
run the broadcasts. Students,
working under the direction of
the faculty of the radio depart
ment, will produce, engineer,
write, and perform all of the
shows to be broadcast.
"Nebraska is one of the first
schools without a . station of its
own, in the midwest to present
programs over a local commer
cial station. This is to be a great
opportunity to the radio students,
who have never done anything
so extensive up to this time,
was the staement made by Twila
Walker, promotion chairman.
"Anyone can produce a show
once or twice a semester, but an
hour and fiileen minutes every
day in the week takes work,"
she went on to add.
The present plan is to present
a diversity of entertainment in a
variety of shows.- Drama, a pro
gram of modern music with a nar
artor ,and special featuers of in
terest will be presented. The
programs will feature "better
music" fn the hope of building a
large university audience.
The staff , of the student sta
tion consists of: Clyde Luther,
Paul Russem and Chuck John
son, student engineers; John Car
son, chief announcer; Herman
Harey, news; Twila Walker, pro
motion; Shirley Quisenberry,
continuity; Dorothy Boothman,
traffic; Barbara Rayburn, music,
and Dale Anderson, production
and direction.
