Woods' Gift Full-Time Psychiatrist Student Health will hire a full-1 ability to work with mental health time psychiatrist for next year, Unless it is impossible to find a suitable man for the job, the University mental health program will include a psychiatrist by the time classes open in the fall, staff physician R. B. Wilson said Wed nesday. The hiring of a full-time psy chiatrist was made possible by a 5100,000 gift to the Univer sity. The money was given the University Foundation by the Woods Charitable Fund, Inc., to supplement funds now available to Student Health Center. Perry W. Branch, Foundation director-secretary, said the gift will be known as "The Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Woods Memorial Fund," commemorating the lives and public services of Frank H Woods' and his wife, Nelle C Woods; Woods, Lincoln financier and University graduate in 1890, died recently. Mrs. Woods, gradu ate of 1892, died in 1950. Dr. S. I. Fuenning, director of Student Health, was out-of-town Wednesday, but he said earlier that the gift will also make pos sible "the hiring of a part-time clinical psychologist and a full time psychiatric social worker as the program 'develops."

Thursday, April 24, 1952 Today; o F KBWIlfflTlM To Finance of the entire University. Student Health officials hope to "integrate the whole University in the men tal health program" by promoting better understanding of mental health. Dr. Wilson said the pro gram should not only help stu dents over their own problems but also help establish a 'general framework for better mental health throughout the University. Eventually the University plans to employ a system similar to that of the University of Denver in regard to cooperation between the psychiatric clinic and Teachers college. At Denver, each prospec tive teacher is given a psychiatric interview to discuss problems of themselves and future pupils. Such a program, Dr. Wilson pointed out, would not screen out teachers, but merely give the individual the modern con ception of mental health, for use personally and in the class room. A similar program may be worked out with other col leges, Dr. Wilson said. Chancellor R. G. Gustavson and Dr. C. W. Borgmann, dean of fac ulties, both expressed hearty ap proval of the gift and its proposed uses. Chancellor Gustavson said "it is important . . . that the Uni versity do everything possible to provide emotional stability and maturity for its students. Sound mental health will help our young men and women free themselves of the crippling effects of anxie ties and prejudices. The splendid gift of the Woods Charitable Fund will help our students become more useful citizens possessed of sound judgements." guards and state police have the prison surrounded.

Steel Industry Meanwhile In congress the senate voted 44 to 31 to ban the use of an appropriation for the operation of the steel Industry.
