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.

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.
