"this process often results in

Young Marriage
Dr. C. d'A. Gerken, direc
tor of the University counsel
ing service listed young mar
riages as another possible
cause for security emphasis.
"These young people want
more material possessions
than their parents had, and
these desires force them to
look for security, especially
when they realize that pay
ments come due at the end
of the month. They can't af
ford to risk."
The changing society of the
United States was named as
another factor.
"Old theories no longer
exist," Gerken commented.
"Everything is changing.
Perhaps this is one reason

Gerken further suggested
that the many decisions peo
ple must make every day
nlflv a further Dart.
"They must respond to
many more stimuli every
day," he said. "Even the
choice of things to do on a
Saturday night becomes dif
ficult."
What To Do?
What can be done about
the loss of individuality?
According to "Industrial
Man," the fault lies not with
the organization, but in the
"worship of it". The book
suggests that conflict between
the organization and the man
is a prfd thine, and that "it
is the price of being an in
dividual that he must face
these conflicts."
But what is this individual
ist, this decisionmaker?
According to "Industrial
Man," it is the person who
can recognize an opportun
ity and have the strength
to seize it.
"There are only a few
times in oreanization life
when he can wrench his des
tiny into his own hands
and if he does not field; then.
he will make a surrender
that will later mock him."
Who Fixed Whose?
A group of University of
Bridgeport students have re
cently completed the recon
struction of an electroence
phalograph in time for dem
onstration during science
week.
The machine, which is lo
cated in the psychology lab
at Dana Hall, is designed for
the measurement of human
brain waves. When the psy
chology department received
it from the physics depart
ment a few months ago it
wasn't in operational condition.

Are Frustrated Housewives
A Product of Our Education?
By Diana Maxwell
'Tm scared, frankly."
This comment from . art
above-average girl graduat
ing this year wasn't fright
at anything tangible not
panic about not having a live
lihood, not a fear of the big
world, but a quieter fear
one not quite so glamorous,
but every bit as real.
It was the fear of bore
dom, the dread of frustra
tion, the suspicion still
rather dim, but neverthe
less alive that having
stepped from the portals of
the University of Nebras
ka into the big wide world,
all might not be well for
the well-educated woman.
No that she wouldn't have
nice clothes, car, family,
lovely home and so on and
on and on. She would. Sta
tistics gave her a fairly soli-"
guarantee of that.
The big "but" in the storj
is the old "what-now" for the
educated woman. What is her
role?
Educated Frustration?
Psychologists and sociolo
gists, probing the problem,
have come up with a ques
tion as to whether the Ameri
can collego-trained woman,
Diana Maxwell, a 1960 grad
uate of the University of Ne
braska school of journalism,
is employed by the Omaha
bureau of the Associated
Press. The former editor of
the Daily Nebraskan was vice
president of Theta Sigma Phi,
women's jounrnalism frater
nity, member of Phi Beta
Kappa, senior scholastic hon
orary, member of Kappa Tau
Alpha, journalism scholastic
honorary, member of Mortar
Board, senior women's schol
astic and activities honorary
and a Journalism Gold Key
winner.
envy and enigma of the
world, is educated, yes, but
frustrated as well? There's
even a book out, "College
Women Who Express Futil
ity". A quick flip through a li
brary card file under the
topic "Woman" confirms the
suspicion that this is a ma
jor concern among a great
many people today. Titles
such as "Modern Woman,
The Lost Sex" appear in
great abundance, particularly
with copyrights after 1950.
The thesis to this book,
written by a sociologist
psychiatrist team, nearly
sums up the problem. Mod
ern women in very large
numbers are psychologic
ally disordered, and this
disorder is having terrible
social and personal effects.
Newsweek probed the ques
tion in its March 7 issue, the
cover of which showed a Phi
Beta Kappa key and a dia
per pin.
The key to the problem,
according to this article, is
that the very ease of the
American woman's life leads
to her greatest problem
Boredom with big haunting
capital B's.
Need Defined Goals
If a woman, particularly
after marriage and children,
is able to maintain as wide
a range of interests as be
fore marriage, and if she has
defined for herself a reason
able set of goals in life, she
is not likely to fall into the
"frustrated grouping" or
so the psychologists con
clude. Goals themselves are cru
cial. It is the outlining of
goals which seems to have
become the most difficult.
It is an old theme, played
over and over by the social
scientists, but it applies
here : culture changing
more rapidly than role-definition
with the result be
ing stress and anxiety.
Some writers such as Fer
dinand Lundberg and Mary
nia F. Farnham see the prob
lem as arising from a lack
of security of women as wom
en female beings. "
Men Frustrated Too
Hearing this comment, one
Ph.D. candidate at the Uni
versity commented something
roughly equivalent to
"phooey."
"This is an outgrowth of
our society," she said. "Mod
ern man is just as frustrated
as his helpmate: He simply
hasn't come in for the same
type of study yet."
But this skirts around the
question to come up with
the same answer, educated
women, who have had the
most advantages, are likely
to be the most frustrated.
Going back to the idea that
defining goals is a key to
the question, there is even a
sort of existential b ra n c h
of psychology, headed by Rol-
lo May. The chief contention
of this school of thought is
that frustrations arise be
cause goals are vague and
roles of individuals poorly
defined.
What is needed, they feel,
is individual evaluation and
definition of goals which can
be reached.
Turning to those involved,
a survey of top 1960 women
graduates from the Univer
sity yielded the same answer
from nearly every coed.
They were not particu
larly worried, but home
making would not be
enough and they would have
to have outside employ
ment or participation tn
civic affairs to round out
their lives.
Helen Snyder, dean of worn
en at the University, agreed,
but added that boredom
arises when women no longer
feel needed.
She did not feel that bore
dom should be the problem
for young mothers, who are

needed at home by their
children, that it would be for
these same women when the
children were older.
Speaking of the problem.
Dean Snyder said, "I think
it is somewhat being re
solved by the fact that wom
en are turning to careers and
to community service pro
jects." She noted the increasing
number of married women
above 35 who are returning
to careers. Some work to
supplement family Incomes,
she said. Others work to feel
necessary and to contribute
something.
"The trend no doubt is to
ward more women returning
to fruitful occupations," she
said.
The dean, who says she
has done considerable read
ing and attended national dis
cussions on this problem, said
"I think this (returning to
careers and community serv
ice) is the answer."
