Law, psychology combination
first of its kind in U.S. Safes
By Charles Johnson
March 1 6 the Board of Regents approved a
unique program joining the UNL Law College
and the Psychology Dept.
"This is the first program of its kind in the
country," said Bruce Sales, assistant professor
of psychology and director of the
Law -Psychology Graduate Studies Program,
which will be initiated in the 1974-74 school
year.
The program leads to the Juris Doctor (J.D.)
degree and a Ph.D. in psychology. It will train
lawyer-psychologists who will bs able to study
the legal system anJ process in order to tid its
development, according to Sa!es.
Graduates of the program will have
"unlimited types of job opportunities," Sales
said.
"We foresee that these people will wind up
in jobs in education, as practitioners using their
specialized skills and as advisers at state and
federal governmental levels," he said.
Sales said more than 400 persons have
submitted program applications, which
currently are being reviewed. Only four or five
students will be selected each year for the
program.
The program will take five years, including
summers, to complete. All course work,
however will be completed in four years, after
which the student receives J.D. and takes the
bar exam. The fifth year is spent on a doctoral
dissertation in psychology.
The courses offered in the program will be
from those presently offered by both the
College of Law and the Psychology Dept. In
addition, four new courses have been approved
to be offered in psychology: Law and
Psychology I and II, and Law and Social
Science I and II.
Sales sasd he hopes an undergraduate course
someday will be offered in law and psychology.
He said the need for the program became
evident when long term study by a, special
government commission concluded in 1969
that the social sciences must integrate into the
legal system and the legal process.
The commission asked for both
interdisciplinary research between law and
social sciences and an interdisciplinary training
program between the two fields.
Sales said he has the necessary credentials to
direct such a program. He received a law degree
from Northwestern University and a Ph.D. in
psychology from the University of Rochester.
He said the program's course work will
reflect thorough training in law, psychology
and in interdisciplinary studies between law and
the social sciences and law and psychology. He
noted that the opportunities for individual
study were unlimited.
Thounh tho program is receiving no special
funds, Sales said he expects federal or private
agency funds will be allotted in the future.

Suicide
Continued from Page 1
Hubble had been researching the possiulity
of opening separate suicide clinics on campuses.
But to date, the clinicf, most of which ere
operating on the East and West Coasts, have not
proven their worth, he said,
"Not one clinic can definitely prove it can
deal with suicidss better than methods now
used," Hubble said. "We should shape up what
we have now."
Most suicide referrals arc made either by
families, friends or health aides. One source,
which could be the most beneficial, however, is
bffing neglected, he said. "We are losing a
great potential by not getting the faculty to
Mp us n a referral service," he said. Hubble
urged that faculty liaisons be set up to work
with the centers.
This was among tfx v?mtkm HuLL-e and

drug use and fighting, for example) that are
more effective than present methods," said
meeting coordinator Ely Meyerson,
administrative dean of Student Affairs.
Periodically, the Student Affairs staff looks
at working relationships with students to u:o
that everything possible is being done to help
students in these "life threatening" situations,
Meyerson explained,
Two observations out of this
self-evalutation. First, Mnnfjn said, premnt
staff are well trained, and deal admirably with
student emotional problems.
Second; the Student Affairs staff vowed to
intensify the training of student assistants living
in residence halls to better help students, he

Meyerson said the study group would raei-t
several more times to develop firmer, more
