Friday, April 26, 1985 Daily Nebraskan Pago 9 Stress of farm crisis affects Students too. snerialist savs By Diana L. Johnson Staff Reporter Students of farm families may not be immediately Involved with making mortgage payments to the local banks or listening each day to livestock and grain prices, but the stress of the farm crisis affects them, said Leon Rottmann, extension specialist in human devel opment. "Everyone will handle the situation in a different way," Rottmann said. "What one person suggests may sound ridiculous to the other person." Kottmann spoke Wednesday about farm family stress management at a meeting of Farm Actions Concern Tomorrow's Society, a UNL student JlKnun 6' ulJ- Students who have family members who are dealing with stress should let them know they're needed. "They may be thinking that you're going to become involved in drugs or they may be concerned that the changes that you're going through will alienate you from them," he said. Farm students also may help their families by walking instead of driving to save costly gasoline, keeping in close contact with parents and cooper ating in other ways with the family's farm crisis, he said. Still, there is no magic formula for relieving tension over the farm crisis. "Stress management, in any situa tion, is simply what works for you," Rottmann said. Diet and exercise may keep situations from becoming dis tressful. Relaxation and developing personal time also are constructive methods to deal with stressful situa tions. Removing alcohol and drugs from any situation also may lessen the stress of a situation, Rottmann said. Farm women are becoming the "new users" of alcohol as a way of relieving stress, he said. "Anticipation of a loss is often worse than the reality of the loss," he said. Governor signs school bill Despite protest and outcry in the form of more than 2,000 phone calls and 3,000 marching parents and students, Gov. Bob Kerrey signed LB662 the rural school district consolidation bill into law Wed nesday night. The new law requires all of Ne braska's 666 Class 1 school districts of elementary grades only, to merge by September 1989 with school dis tricts that have high schools. The law also requires that no more than 45 percent of local prop erty taxes be used to pay for public education. The state sales tax also would increase 1 cent to provide more state revenue for education. In a press conference Wednesday morning, Kerrey said he opposed the tax limit and wants the state Legislature to "strip out" the fund ing provisions. According to Thursday's Lincoln Journal, Kerrey has asked sponsors of LBCC2 to remove the funding pro vision, and state Sen. Yard Johnson of Omaha said that Kerrey's wish has a "reasonable chance" to succeed. Massengale to speak at Ivy Day The annual Ivy Day celebration at UNL will be Saturday.

In other business, the senate passed a bill that recognizes the Equal Oppor tunity coalition as an ad-hoc student group at UNL. Ad-hoc status allows a student group to be recognized by the university for one year. At the end of the year, the group must change its name and form a constitution if it wants to become a university-approved organization. The senate also approved legislation recognizing the Finance Management Association as a student group on campus and appointed an interim ad viser for the India Student Association.
