Professional Schools Raise Credit-Hour Production

Editor's note: This is the second of three stories about the effects of enrollment on University students.
As the push for enrollment continues, many professional schools find it necessary to increase credit-hour production, whether by increasing the number of schools or by offering more courses to non-mu-
Most of the deans of the professional schools said they were reluctant to open up their classes to all students.
"We can't just open up the programs to anybody," Paul P. S-cannell, dean of the School of
The only education classes offered in great quantity to general University students are those in Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science.
Wayne Osness, chairman of the department of health, physical education and recreation, said about 95 per cent of students enrolled in activities courses were not physical education majors.
He said activities classes usually closed early, but more couldn't be offered because they lacked staff.
Now that they have more space because of the improvements to Allen Field House, there will be a lot of room.
One reason for this was the offering of more varied courses, he said. The department has recently added karate and scuba diving, and judo will be offered for the first time this year. He said that karate is a great alternative to judo, which, unlike karate, is primarily defensive. A self-defense course is also offered.
Enrollment in physical education courses almost doubled last year. Osmess said.
Omissed he thought more students were enrolling in activity courses because the level of instruction had gone up. He also said they were now taking classes at times when more students could take them.
Other courses of general interest are Exercise and Fitness for Living, Sex Education and Drug Education. Ossess said they were also planning to offer horseback riding.
Charles H. Kahn, dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Design, said the school of architecture has
Two architectural history courses are for non-majors. These courses get fairly large, Kahn said, and are open to anyone on a space-available basis. Environmental Design is also open to all students, as the Department of Architecture. The Ecology of Planned Environment attracts students from all over the University, Kahn said.
Two other curses that attract students not in technical school are the Behavioral Basis for Architectural Design and Engineering.
'Britain's' Foreign Office released word of the ousted president's departure soon after Minister James Callaghan announced that he would enter 'Britain's' base on the island.
Joseph Fichler, dean of the School of Business, said most of their classes were taken by business majors. Some liberal arts majors and personnel majors take accounting, he said.
Edith Black, assistant to the dean of the School of Social Welfare, said the only classes offered to students outside the School were introductory courses.
She said the introductory courses were intended to give students the flavor of social work. Some of the topics included in the courses were housing, the care and safety of Indian experience and the legislative process.
That course is Topics and Problems on Drugs in a Contemporary Society, the same as LAAS 48-292. But Mossberg said the course didn't help increase the School of Pharmacy's total credit-hour production because students usually enrolled in it through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"It appears that the national guard is at present in control of parts of the island, and that fighting continues among the Cypriot population through the Turkish population is not at present."
The School of Pharmacy offers only one course to general University students, said Howard Stern. The course is $100.
William P. Smith, dean of the School of Engineering, said all of their classes were open to university students who have the prerequisites. He大学的学生，包括所有有 prerequisites，但 that they made up a very small percentage of the total offering of the School. "The school had environmental classes long before they opened."
Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, said the only classes offered to non-majors were large introductory music history courses and performing organizations like chorus and band.

Westmoreland Loses South Carolina Election
State Sen. James B. Edwards, a 47-year-old dentist, defended former Army Chief of Staff William C. Westmoreland for South Carolina's Republican gubernatorial nomination Tuesday.
The coup was the work of the 6,000-man national guard, the army of Cyprus, and 65 officers from the Greek army.

The rebels have made no mention of such a union in official reports, but it would steer an independent course.

Mass Murderer Gets Six 99-year Sentences
Senator Gurney Pleads Innocent to Charge
Mass Murder 19-93 sentences After deliberating 55 minutes, a San Antonio jury Tuesday sentenced Elmer Wayne Henley, 18, to 99 years in prison for each of six slayings—part of the largest mass murder in modern American history.
More fighting was reported yesterday on Cyprus. Military rebels announced the formation of a new government and warned new violators would be shot without warning.
They were among 27 young men killed in a homosexual torture ring in which Henley was convicted of taking part.

Archbishop Makarios Set To Meet Security Council
Gurney, who is a member of the Senate Watergate committee, and six other men were indicted last week by a grand jury in Jacksonville.
By the Associated Press
Archbishop Makarios, the deposed president of Cyprus, arrived last night on the island of Malta and was reportedly ready to fly to the United Nations, where the Security Council was meeting to discuss the overthrow of his regime.
The Security Council meeting was called by U.N. Secretary-general Kurt Waldheim to discuss Monday's coup, which raised the threat of armed conflict between Greece and Turkey over the Mediterranean island for the third time in 10 years.
Cyprus' ambassador to the United Nations, Zeno Rossides, said he wanted the council to call for an immediate cease-fire and a resolution to eliminate, elected head of the government.
Anything resembling a threat to the Turkish minority on Cyprus could bring a Greek-Turkish military clash. That would leave the United States and its partners in a difficult situation since Greece and Turkey are NATO members.
Moscow already regards the Greek military juntia, believed in sympathy with the Islamic movement.
Loan Guarantee For Stockmen Passes House
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House passed by a six vote margin yesterday a bill to provide a $2 billion emergency program of grants for private loans to livestock producers.
Urban opposition to the bill appeared to dissolve after the passage of amendments that cut individual loan limits from $350,000 to $250,000 and restricted eligibility to bona fide farmers and ranchers and corporations dominated by farmers.
The final vote was 210 to 204.
Rep. Spark Matsuaga, D-Hawaii,
stressed the supporters' position that
the measure would only guarantee loans. It
wouldn't make them, he said.
Consumers would benefit by keeping small livestock producers in business to meet demand.
Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz said the loan bill as passed by the House was something "we could live with" and indicated that a more liberal version appended 62 to 9 last month would have his recommendation for a presidential veto.
The program approved by the House now returns to the Senate.
The measure stems from livestock industry pleas for credit assistance in the wake of nine months of steadily falling live weight and thereby incurred costs, especially for grain.

Panel to Get Impeachment Articles
WASHINGTON (AP)—Peter Rodino, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said yesterday proposed articles of impeachment against President Nixon would be presented to the committee tomorrow.
Rodino, D.N.J., said arguments and evidence in support of the proposed articles would be given to the committee by the two briefings tomorrow and Friday.
He said the committee would start deliberating on the articles Monday and should be able to make a recommendation on impeachment by Fri. Jul 26.
Rodino's announcement produced sharp protests from Republican members, who said they had expected a balanced staff and budget against impachment also provided.
Rep. Robert McClory, R-Ill., said he was told by special counsel John Doar that only supporting material would be presented at the briefings. McClory said the Republicans instructed their deputy minority counsel Garrison, to produce counter arguments.
The committee continued the examination of former White House aide Charles Colson yesterday. Colson, who had been expected by Republicans to bolster Nixon's impeachment defense, lived up to that expectation. members reported
"He really came down strong for the President on everything," said Rep. Hirsch.
Rep. Trent Lott, R-Miss., said, "His testimony was all favorable to the President. It was what you'd expect him to and say most of it was public knowledge."
"He's a ticking time bomb," said Rep. Charles Wiggins, R-Calif. "He is filled with anger."

In nearly 10 hours on the stand Monday, Colson was asked by the committee counsel about his many activities for the White House in response to reports of the areas under investigation. Colson has pleaded guilty to an obstruction of justice charge in connection with the investigation of Daniel Ellsberg by the White House and that Colson had made public the Pentagon Papers.

Wiggins and other Republicans said none of Colson's testimony indicated any direct involvement by Nixon in the activities the committee was investigating.
Most of the interest in Colson's testimony Monday centered on the question of whether Nixon had advance knowledge of the 1971 break-in at the office of Ellsberg's psychiatrist, Dr. Lewis Fielding of Beverly Hills, Calif.
All Mentally Ill Sometime, Psychologist Says
By PAT NANCE
Kansan Staff Reporter
Everyone is at least slightly ill at some time in their lives, William A. Binns, clinical psychologist at the Mental Health Clinic in Watkins Memorial Hospital, said yesterday.
"Some patients are very disturbed," said Donald Soullberg, psychologist. "We also see a great many who don't."
"I like people to see us as a coping mechanism," Binns said. "We're all trying to cope with life."
"I think that if there are any questions in his mind, then he should come on," *shouldbang* said. "Obviously I believe in psychotherapy. I'm not interested in making them talk about it." He might find more info out who they are and why they want to be."
A student should not wait until a problem becomes serious before seeking help, according to Shoubler.
Shoulberg estimated that 10 per cent of the student body needed to seek help at the clinic. Last year only 588 students, fewer than four per cent of the student body, visited the clinic.
*Students come here for many reasons, ranging anywhere from a rumble feeling that things aren't going well.*
Problems that students commonly face, according to Binns and Shoulge, include depression, sexual identity, marriage relationships, adjustment from adolescence to adulthood, facing new responsibilities
and decisions the first time away from home, self
identification and the need to decide for future life.
Shoublerg said a person, especially in a college environment, could learn so much that he lost his mental stability because academic learning could exceed emotional understanding and insight.
"At a university the size of KU, instead of living and working and studying all day with the same people, your students are not in college."
"Intellectual insight is never enough," he said. "There has to be some blend of deep feeling and understanding. When they're split, then we're in trouble. They tend to get split here at KU."
The typical student's visit to the clinic is a 50-minute interview, Shoulbard said. The average length of time that patients are treated varies from year to year, depending on the patient load and the individual problem. Last year the average patient was treated for nine sessions.
The clinic hours are 8:30 to 4:30, Monday through Friday, any time school is in session. Staff this summer are Dr. Sydney Schroeder, psychiatrist and clinic director; Bins, Shoalberg and Dean Kerkmen, clinical psychologists; and Eleanor L. Katz, psychiatric social worker.
Binns said the clinic offered individual counseling, group therapy, conjunct psychotherapy (such as with a woman with OCD) and other services.
In addition, he said, the clinic is a crisis intervention center. A staff person is on call 24 hours a day.
Shoublerd said one of the major functions of the clinic was the prevention of suicides.
"I really believe that it's a tragedy," he said. "In this age group we got to give a person a chance for life."
In recent years more people have been seeking psychotherapy than in the past, according to Shoulberg, J. (2017).
"I think that there's a broader understanding of psychotherapy from a humanistic viewpoint," he said.
Many students prefer to seek help from peer counseling groups such as the counseling center, he said, because they are suspicious or afraid of professional counselors.
"There has been a great deal of fear, particularly in light of the Eagleton affair and the Ellsberg break-in, of records being made public," he said. "But our records are kept in absolute confidence."
Both Binsn and Shoulberg said they disliked the term "mental illness."
“It’s a destructive way of attempting to find meaning in life,” he said. “Insight may come, but it’s not integrated into one’s total life. It’s like raping the unconscious instead of befriending it.”
"However, I certainly don't agree with the people who say it doesn't exist," Binns said. "I see it as being any
The clinic also provides counseling for students with alcohol or drug-related problems, according to Shoulbert. He said he saw the use of drugs as often being a religious quest or an attempt at self-healing.
Shoublerg said, "I see mental illness as being on a continuum. The great insight of modern psychiatry is that we know we are living in an era of self-esteem."
disturbance that interferes with the person's ability to cope with the world in which he lives."
Both men said that mental illness was related in many ways to physical illness.
"We've far too long dealt with a mind-body dualism," Shouberg said.
A student can recognize mental illness in himself, but not "anything" that signals to you that you don't feel right.
Shoubeng said he thought more students should visit the clinic. He said the clinic offered an opportunity for a student to help find at a time of great change in his life without a heavy financial burden.
The first four visits to the clinic are paid by a student's health fee, and if more visits are needed, the student and parent pay.
"No one is ever turned away because of the inability to nav a fee." Shoulder said.
He said he found college students the most exciting age group to work with because they were more open to change and were intelligent enough to internalize the treatment.
"There is no one path in life that's right for everyone." Bins said. "The question is whether the path the person has chosen is harmonious to himself and those around him."
