Student Health Psychiatrist Says
Adjustment Problems face
tu dents
By Rich Meir
Junior Staff Writer
Physical and emotional
health go hand fn hand; on
this basis the University
Health Center maintains a
Mental Hygiene Division.
This division works as a
team with a psychiatrist,
a psychiatric social worker,
and clinical psychologist on
the staff.
According to Dr. I. Wm.
Brill, Student Health Psy
chiatrist, the period of col
lege life is the age of tran
sition from adolescence to
adulthood, with additional
strains of scholastic pres
sure, social competition, vo
cational stress, all of an in
tensity never before experi
enced. "There are special stres
ses and strains the individu
al encounters in the college
community. The University
brings to bear a whole host
of problems," said Brill.
Up to the age of 16. when
one starts to drive, the in
dividual is home orientated.
He is under parental con
trol and makes a few ma
jor decisions on his own.
In high school the compe
tition scholastically and so
cially is not very compli
cated as compared to col
lege. In college there is a pro
nounced transition. The in
dividual gets away from
parental control and makes
his own decisions.
Brill said that he must
decide on his own ethical
code in reference to such
matters as sex, drinking.
and his personal morals. He
must choose a vocation. He
faces as much increased so
cial and scholastic compe
tition. "For example," said
Brill, "he has to deal with
such problems as crowding.
In a dorm or fraternity he
loses privacy."
'"His defects are brought
to light," he continued. "He
has many more people to
compare himself to, and
within his peer group, now
greatly enlarged, there are
many that are more suc
cessful than he is."
"Reality pressure begins
to manifest itself in schol
arship. The student always
has something to do. H i s
studies are never complet
ed, and he might feel that
his professors are pouring
it on. He also has to cope
with such drudgery courses
as his group requirements
dictate."
"He faces conflict from
home. He wants to be in
dependent financially. He
may have problems with his
girl."
These and a gamute of
other pressures may mani
fest themselves in a variety
of ways.
"We get students referred
to us, said Brill. "A student
may come into the health
center complaining of fa
tigue. Nothing is found to
be organically wrong with
him, but in the couse of the
examination It is found out
he is tense and anxious. He
suffers from emotional pain
and consequently has not
been sleeping at nights."
"Emotional pain is Just
as real as any other and
this is what we treat here,"
said Brill.
"Students mostly come in
on self-referral to just talk
about their various p r o b
lems," he said.
University pressures are
of a different nature and
stresses arc orientated dif
ferently and of a more in
tense nature. In the pro
nounced transition encount
ered in college a variety of
stresses and strains are en
countered. To help the student come
to grips with himself the
Mental Hygiene Department
is alwavs available.

Foreign
Esquenazi
Selected
By AUF
Dr. Esquenazi-Mayo has
been chosen as the faculty
sponsor for the All University
Fund Faculty Drive which
will begin March 22.
The drive collects money
from the faculty for the
World University Service
which helps education and
students around the world.
"I am very honored to be
elected as sponsor of a drive
that has such a worthy pur
pose," Dr. Esquenazi said.
He pointed out that the
drive helps people in under
privileged countries that
want to help themselves im
prove their education.
"They are not begging for
the money, but only asking
for support which will help
them be on their own, he
said. "All of us should give
some thought to the excellent
purposes of this drive.
Barb Beckman, AUF pres
ident, said that Esquenazi
was chosen because of t h e
varied contributions he has
made to both the University
and the nation in the field
of education and world under
standing. "No one on the University
faculty," she said, "probably
knows more about education
in underdeveloped countries
of the world, especially in
Latin America, than Dr. Es
quenazi," she explained.
Dr. Esquenazi, who is con
sidered an expert on Latin
America, recently returned
from a World Peace Confer
ence in New York where he
met with world leaders, sci
entists and thinkers from all
over the world.
This year's goal for the
Facu"y Drive at Nebraska is
(15(H). University faculties all
over the country contribute
money to WUS which helps
countries in the Middle East,
Southeast Asia, the Far East
and In Africa help meet their
educational needs.
AUF, which Is the only or
ganization on campus au
thorized to solicit for charity
from the faculty and stu
dents, will collect the facul
ty's contributions.
to visit my daughter for a
little while, and decided to try
to get a job. I got the job
as a maid and just stayed on,"
said Bessie.
"I don't like to be idle, and
I always try to keep busy.
I like to work and always try
to keep occupied," she said.
She said that she tries to
stay on the job. "I wonder
about the boys, and they
have almost become a part of
me, like they were my own."
"I kind of hate to leave, but
you know what they say, the
best of friends have to part
sometime."
"I have had a happy life,
and I get along fine; I think
its remarkable that all the
time that I have worked here
I have not had one complaint
from the boys," she said.
Bessie's grandfather was a
slave in Louisiana. He picked
cotton, but didn't like the job,
and would always run off until
he ran out of food. "He ran
off so often, that they stopped
whipping him."
He was freed by the Eman
cipation Proclamation but
still worked on the old planta
tion. From Louisianna he
moved to Topeka, Kan., and
when Oklahoma was opened
up he homesteaded 160 aces.
"He always said that was
the only thing that was ever
given to him."
Besides cleaning 48 rooms
twice a week, Bessie keeps
busy teaching Sunday school
Church. She also has held a
job for the past four years
cleaning offices on the 5th
floor of the Sears Building.
"No one ever knew about
the job," she said, "but now
that I'm quitting I guess that
I can tell. If Mr. Calvert
would have known before he
might have gotten pretty
mad."
She also had another secret,
but wouldn't tell the Dally
Nebraskan. Steve Carter,
resident of Selleck, said, "She
is the only maid that cleans
the rooms twice a week, and
we are all going to really miss
her."
A foreign student emergen
cy fund to use the profits of
the Student Discount cards
was established by Student
Council yesterday.
John Luckasen, chairman of
the Student Affairs Commit
tee, proposed the fund and
said that there was a definite
need for a fund that would
help foreign students with per
sonal emergencies.
He pointed out that Mrs.
Rowena Boykin, assistant for
eign student adviser, had em
phasized this need in a Feb.
19 story of the Daily Nebras
kan. "For example," Luckasen
said, "there is one foreign stu
dent right now who badly
needs dental work, but doesn't
have the money."
He said that the fund would
be handled by the foreign stu
dent office and that all loans i
or grants made to foreign stu
dents would be completely
confidential.

motion establishing the fund

Skip Sorif, Student Council
treasurer, said that the Coun-

for a good purpose the Coun
cil should take all the extra
money and advertise the cards
more so that more students
would know about them and
thus benefit from them.
Gale Muller also seemed to
agree that the Council should
not try to make a profit even
for a charitable purpose.
Muller said, "If the new

he said, "but it is not Student

The main question debated
by the Council members was
whether the Council wanted
to be an organization which
functioned both as a govern
ment and a service group or
if it wanted to be primarily
just the supreme student gov
erning body of the University.
Another pertinent question
was whether the Council
wanted to get out of the dis
count card business and let
another organization handle it
or not.
Bill Poppert started the dis
cussion by suggesting that In
stead of the Council concen
trating on making a profit by
the cards, the advertising
rate should be lowered as low
as possible so as to interest
more businesses and thus
benefit the students as a whole
with more places to save
money.
Along this same line it was
suggested by Andy Taube and
Mike Jeffrey that instead of

The motion was finally
passed by a roll call vote of

was passed with unanimous
approval.
Luckasen pointed out that
confusion over the new Con
stitution's powers has arisen
in some living units.
"The new Constitution," he
said, "will not in anv way in
terfere with individual con
stitutions or activities of the;
fraternities or sororities. I
n wui not have powers
over any individual living un
it," he added.
He pointed out that the new
Constitution will give the Stu
dent Association the authori
ty to approve organizations'
constitutions as far as form
and wording, but will not al
low the Council to interfere
with content of the individual
constitutions.
Bill Coufal said, "The new
Constitution will not favor
any one group or people on
campus. It will definitely pro
vide a better student government."
"People must not be afraid
of the new Constitution," Cou
fal added, "just because it is
something new. It is some
thing really great that will
really help a lot."
John Kenagy, Senators'
Committee chairman, report
ed at the meeting that six
senators wouid tour the Uni
versity today and also s i x
Monday. In all he said 17
senators will take part in the
University tours.
He also pointed out that
senators were speaking to the
different living units who re
quested them. It was reported
that Senator Whitney had
spoken at Acacica last Mon
day. Gale Muller, Library chair
man, said that a recent stu
dent library poll had helped
them to come to the follow
ing conclusions:
(1) That they were against
keeping the library open until
midnight because the staff is
already short.
(2) That they will try and
see to it that the library Is
kept open on Friday evenings
if possible.
(3) That they will keep
study rooms open in the Un
ion during Dead Week and
finals with proctors available.
(4) That they will try and
set up a library course for
students in the future.
(5) That there will be li
brary display cases in the Un
ion during April and art work
on the second floor of the li
brary. A future survey to discover
student morale on the campus
and what improvements the
students would like to see in
the University's administra
tion and policies will be con
ducted, Kent Neumeister said.
Neumeister explained that
his committee would work
close with the University coun
seling services in determin
ing general student morale
on the campus and what the
students would like to see
changed at the University.

aiver from White
Chapters of Sigma Nu fra
ternity at Kansas state vm
versity and the University of
Kansas have been granted a
waiver from the national fra
ternity law forbidding the
pledging of Negro men.
The waiver came four
months after a letter protest
ing the discriminatory clause
was sent to the national head
quarters of the fraternity by
James McCain, president of
K-State, and W. Clark Wescoe,
chancellor of KU, reports the
Kansas State Collegian.
The national office does not
grant a waiver unless the uni
versity or local situation
threatens the future exist
ence of the chapter, said Rob
ert Mcllchar, Sigma Nu presi
dent at K-State.
The K-State housing office
removes from Us list off-cam
pus houses proved to practice
discrimination. F r a ternities
and sororities may not be ap
proved by the University with
membership restricted by
race, color or creed.
The All-Student Council
meeting at which the waiver
was announced also resulted
in passage of Human Rights
Bill No. 7 which would elim
inate all discriminatory prac
tices at KU. Under the bill,
organizations will be expected
to eliminate discriminatory
practices before spring semes
ter, 1966. Failure to comply
could result in defranchise
ment, restriction of social ac
tivities, denial of participation
in student government or anv
other action the Council feels
appropriate.
Both the prosecution and
defense in the trial of stu
dents arrested in connection bly, failure to disperse and,
with the Free Speech Move
mcnt (FSM) sit-in at the Uni
versity of California, Berke
ley, have asked for permis
sion to try only a fraction
of the cases, with the verdict
to apply to all the arrested
students, reports the Daily
Californian.
This information came from
Robert Treuhauft, a defendant
and FSM defense attorney.
Malcolm Burnstein, another
defense attorney, said he be
lieves the prosecution will
also ask the court for permis
sion to try the cases without
a jury.
David Dutton, assistant to
the Alameda County district
attorney called both of these
attempts a "breach of ethics."
The 814 students were
charged with unlawful asscm-
in some cases, resisting arrest
in the December 3 Sproul Hall
sit-in.
Treuhaft said the request to
try only some of these stu
dents was made "in the hope
it (the case) would be dis
posed of in one trial." He al
so said a verdict of guilty in
a case tried only by a judge
would be grounds of appeal to
a higher court on the basis
of U.S. Constitutional guaran
tees. Burnstein said the defense
will base its case on two ma
jor grounds. The statutes in
question are invalid per se be
cause they are vague and run
counter to the First Amend
ment. The statutes don't ap
ply because students were
exercising their right to

Oppose
Budget
ANT Wants
Tuition Hike
The Association of Nebras
ka Taxpayers urged Tuesday
that the Legislature's budget
committee reject the proposed
University budget as not "re
alistic" and request a hike in
tuition fees from students.
Board of Regents president
Val Peterson immediately re
buked the recommendations of
the Association as "inflama
tory, insulting and extrava
gant language."
Wray Scott, president of the
Association urged that the
University's resident students
be required to pay tuition and
fees sufficient to meet 50 per
cent of their costs of educa
tion, and that non-resident stu
dents meet 100 per cent of
their costs through tuition
charges.
The University should "send
the outstate students back
home or charge them fully for
their cost," he declared.
Present tuition fees, Scott
said, cover about 15 per cent
of operation expenses.
Peterson replied that Scott's
remarks indicated that "he
has no factual background . . .
He doesn't know enough
about the suhject."
Sen. Clifton Batchelder of
Omaha questioned whether
the University might "cut the
out-of-state students" in order
to reduce costs.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
noted that this would "invite
strong retaliation" from oth
er states whose universities
educate Nebraska residents.
Some 10 per cent of the Uni
versity enrollment is com
posed of non-resident stu
dents. Peterson said Nebraska
should avoid "inbreeding" and
weldome the access to view
points from outside the state
and nation.
"Let's be careful of estab
lishing walls in education," he
cautioned.
