Student Pressures Terrific Brill Outlines A By JOHN LONNQUIST Nebraskan Staff Writer "The pressures on some students are terrific," said Dr. William Brill M.D.of the Student Health Center, "and the best thing that they can do to relieve the tensions caused by these pressures is to talk to someone." Dr. Brill, who is the chief of the mental hygiene division received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Indiana Univer sity and after WWII, earned his Masters degree in psychiatry from the University of Michigan. When he first came to the University, the phone book had him listed as head psychiatrist; head psychiatrist has a double meaning, noted Brill. He has one assistant, Mrs. Carole Olson, and is in the process of locating another. "Nobody likes to come and see a psychiatrist," said Brill, "but when they do, it's usually because of anxiety." "For instance, a fellow isn't sure that he wants to do what he's doing, he's not certain that he wants to be here. I The themes behind anxious tensions are complex, but in simplified form these are some of those most often en7 countered here at the University: an uncertainty about life, a bright student who can't study and he doesn't know why, dating and marital problems. Relationship to girls ("that's a standard problem among the boys"), a student who can't get along with (or without) his parents, and those with a feeling of loneliness of being left out are others. "The standard case is a boy who comes from a small high school of maybe 30 students. There be was the top scholar and athlete. He was well-known and liked. Down here at the University he comes up against an extremely competitive atmosphere and he doesn't know Whether or not lie can measure up to it. He finds that he is !ust another guy. Scholastically, he's average, and ath etically he's a nobody. 'This is quite an adjustment. He's unhappy, desolate, he can't concentrate on his studies. Then he takes a bad grade. "This compounds itself, and he is more upset. It's kind of a vicious circle. Here's a person who is all shook up. If he just sits and does nothing, he feels helpless; he had got to take some action. "The best thing that he can do is to talk to someone. Either to one in his peer group (friends), or to a doctor, clergyman, or to his parents." v This worrying about everyday problems, when they are really problems, is a part of being human. To right them, you have to be in contact with someone else. If you can't find that someone, you might be in trouble, according to Brill. "What a lot of people experience is a form of self torture. Some people worry over very trivial things, like whether or not a person likes you. This can make a person tense. "To overcome this feeling, one should try to gain a conscious control over themselves, decided that he is just not going to let this thing worry him." Often pressures cause dramatic physical symptoms such as fainting or lightheadedness. A student who recognizes his problems as anxiety may try to obtain tranquilizers thinking, "Here is the answer." "Tranquilizers," explained Dr. Brill, "are not a cure all, but they do have their place. Many times we can tide a person over with them until he pulls himself together." Then there are the people who try to do too much. Theee people ?ag keep goiag until thsy have a dissppsist ment. They are like the track man who is running at top speed, they are all right until someone trips them. No matter what kind of a problem one has, the only way to find it out is to let the mind run free, to speak as freely as possible. The problem then becomes obvious. In trying to make a problem clear to another person, you make it clear to yourself. Then you can take some action on it. The new wing commander is Cdt. Col. Gary Thrasher. He has replaced Cdt. Col. Clark Marshall who has moved up to assist the Com mandant of Cadets, Major Paul. The Deputy Wing Com mander is Cdt.-Lt. Col John Molinder. Cdt.-Lt. Col.

Bet Prompts Student To Walk Fifty Miles A wager led John Wight man, University law student, to walk 50 miles to Crete and back, in 11 hours and 23 min utes Saturday. Wightman was bet that he couldn't walk the distance in under 12 hours. Near the journey's end other law stu dents paced him to make sure he made it under the dead- ImM "Motorists were unaware of what was happening at first but by the end they were all honking," said Wightman. "The only thing of interest I found was a lot of sore mus cles," said the hiker. "They were even more sore Sunday." EDITOR'S NOTE: Ttali It (he second f a eeiiet oa the Univeriltjr budret. Gov. Morrison talks about bis proposed ten-year prorram for education one of tbe reasons this year's University budret r e s u e s t has been cut by $4,040,487. By SUE HOVIK Nebraskan Staff Writer In his ten-year long-range program for the University, Gov. Frank Morrison sug gested that the institution's problems need to be worked out in consultation with oth er states in this area. He explained that the Uni versity can develop and strengthen certain programs and not have these specific ones duplicated by sister in stitutions in surrounding states. We will not be able to ac complish this unless we have a long-range program, he continued. The Governor stressed working towards building stronger departments. For example, why should the Uni versity of Kansas build a strong department of nuclear physics when Nebraska has one, he questioned. He said that Nebraska should have such a depart ment because of the nuclear facilities at Hallam, and through a long-range pro gram, the University will be able to get better funds from the Legislature to do this. Agreements with the parti cipating states would have to be worked out so that there would be no out-state tuition, Gov. Morrison said. Each university would have to agree to take so many students under this plan. He said that this will be further explored at the next Midwest Governors Confer ence. He explained that when budgets of enormous institu tions are increased 30-40 every two years, they have a problem of making the best possible use of the funds. Outstanding instructors can be spotted several years in advance and then the Univer sity can work their special ties into the curriculum, he continued. The long-range plan will also bring the Legislature, Governor and educators to gether which cannot be done in spasmodic periods, said Gov. Morrison. "I'm convinced that the higher education budget in the next ten years will have to double to meet the de mand," predicted the Gover nor. He recommends step ping up the budget roughly 20 each bienium. The program will also serve to educate the public as to the needs of the Univer sity and other higher educa tion institutions. "I realize that the Univer sity is planning ahead, but the people need to be aware of this programming," said Gov. Morrison. The long-range plan will also promote closer relation ships between the junior col leges, all tax supported, and the University, he said. He proposes a centralized administration of the higher education institutions in Ne braska. The Governor said that the benefits of this cen tralization to the University would be that it would make it a part of the overall high er educational system In the state. , He added that it probably won't benefit the University as much as it would the state as a whole. He pro posed that the junior colleges be made divisions of the University, similar to s y s- iijuo ttScu iii OdiiiOi Hid. Many years ago teachers colleges were not enjoying the same academic standards that other professions had because the teaching field was not regarded highly, said the Governor. "Today we're moving more PDsums into the direction of recog nizing teaching as the most important of all professions and that teachers should be among the best educated,"he stated. Since many of the teachers colleges have broadened out their curriculum, they are really small universities, Gov. Morrison continued. He predicted that in tha next ten years, the Univer sity of Omaha could be larg er than the University of Ne braska. He also believes that within this time, the Univer sity of Omaha should be part of the University. Theoretically, the 1 o n g range plan will mean a near doubling of the budgets of a institutions in ten years, said the Governor. In practice, this won't necessarily work, he added. For example, at Kearney the budget will have to more than double because if the en rollment continues at the present rate, it will possibly more than triple in the next ten years,' he said. The ten-year program will have to be elastic enough to be subject to variation and alterations in the amount of money needed noted the Gov- ernor. If the needs more than double in the next ten years, this elasticity will allow for meeting them. "We're not leaving quite so much to chance,", explained the Gov ernor. He cited one example of money being wasted at the University. Millions of dollars have been spent acquiring property adjacent to the Uni versity for the expansion of the school. If the University had been built where the Agriculture College is located then the University could have saved the money they spend paying for buildings that have to be razed, he said. He also mentioned that tha surrounding area has to be beautified and that the Uni versity should look into the future on the land it might need. Concerning the hiring of top instructors, and their exodus, Gov. Morrison said that salary is only part of their consider ation in coming or leaving. The University has to have equipment and has to show that programs are being pro jected. When asked about the Col lege of Medicine and College of Dentistry, the Governor said that the lack of money appropriated for the College of Dentistry and the use of it has been neglected and he doesn't know why. "That College has a good staff and good dean and his torically it's been one of the top schools in the nation,' he commented. The Medical Association needs to help work out a long-range program for the College of Medicine and dis cuss it with the Governor and Legislature, he said. "We have a great univer sity; we have to be alive to ways of improving it," em phasized the Governor.
