Annex
From nare one
Stephen Grabow, assistant professor of architecture and urban design, said, "It was embarrassing to have to teach in the annex. It was a challenge because these changes beheld in much a bad environment."
It was embarrassing to teach there because students who come to the school because of its high national ranking don't expect to be put in facility that is falling apart. Grabow said.
"To be standing in a place that is falling apart and to be teaching about the quality of environment standards is almost hypocritical," he said. "We don't practice what we preach."
MAYOR MARCI FRANCISCO, who has a degree in architectural design, taught in Lindley and Chicopee.
"It was ridiculous to try to teach in that space, so I understand a little of the frustration that people feel when they are put in that kind of situation."
The door on the bathroom was not marked "Men" or "Women" and there was no door on the toilet stall, Francisco said. The sink was stopped up the entire time she was there. The heaters made an amount of noise when he was about to say that no one could hear what anyone was saying, she said.
"I knew students who got so frustrated, they kicked holes in the sheetrock," Francisco said. "I don't know which students were responsible, but I don't know where, there isn't much incentive to take care of it."
"The building was in bad shape, and the students knew that it was going to be renovated," he said. "They also knew the interior walls were, for the most part, going to be replaced. The walls were out up on a temporary basis, so the students did not respect the building."
ANOTHER FACTOR that contributed to student frustration and to the abuse of architecture facilities was the extreme stress under which students worked. Monahan said.
"You have got to understand what it is like when you are an architecture student," she said, crushing load of work in a short period of time, it can get pretty tense. There is a lot of pressure."
In addition to the normal semester work load,
he said, the studio class consists of 12 hours of class time each week. On top of that, students are expected to spend a minimum of 12 hours working on their projects outside of class time.
"I had a professor who told me one time that if you weren't putting in 40 hours a week in the studio alone, you weren't working hard enough," Monahan said.
Monahan didn't blame the school for being so tough. Competition in the field is tough. In order to prepare students for the realities of the field, professors have to teach students the discipline it takes to work well under pressure, Monahan said.
Each semester students have to present four to five design projects, he said. In order to complete the projects on time, students worked throughout the night in the studio.
"People just have a tendency to blow off steam," he said. "People get rugish. In a room I was in, although I didn't see it, some students jumped out and ran on some night and throw some bricks at the walls."
THE BAD ATMOSPHERE in the anex was aggrassed by problems of theft, Monahan said. Students had to buy their own stools, which were expensive. Because stools were sometimes stolen, students had to chain them to the desks. The decks were bolted to the floors because some of them had been removed during the night, he said.
The students were responsible for most of the problems concerning theft and abuse of the building, Monahan said. Students were always in time to avoid being in the time frame for anyone other than students to be there.
However, as a group, Monahan said, he didn't take the most students were any more inclined to the district.
"Of course, you always have your immature fools who cause most of the problems," he said. "The students could do pretty much as they wanted because Lindley Annex did not have any kind of supervisor as far as I know. It was open 24 hours a day."
Monahan said he didn't think the problems of vandalism and abuse were likely to continue when renovation of Marvin Hall and the annex had been completed.
"When we move back into Marvin, there will be all new decks and stools provided for us." Monahan said. "The desks aren't going to be bolted down to the floors. I have heard nothing but the highest praise for Marvin. I think students will respect the building."
Lucas has been dean of the school for only three months, Momanah said. He told them that he would expect better behavior from the students.
"Dear Lucas said that they are going to expect us to act like adults and that they are going to
Lucas said the abuse of architecture facilities had started in the late '80s and early '70s when students had little respect for institutional items and buildings.
Although he declined to give the reasons why he thought the abuse had not been stopped in past years, he said he would take the necessary measures to ensure that it did not continue.
"In order to make sure that the best environment for our students exists, I have established a School of Architecture and Urban Design facilities committee," he said.
THE COMMITTEE NOW includes three members from the faculty, and students will be added in the fall, he said. The committee will advise the dean on such matters as future space assignments, laboratory spaces and facilities operating procedures, he said.
"I hope that with the committee's input, we can establish procedures that will allow the best educational environment for the students, but also to ensure that our work is clean and cleanliness of the building." Lucas said.
He said he was confident that students would respect the new facilities. Peer pressure from the majority of responsible students will be increased, but still might be inclined to abuse the facilities, he said.
"I strongly believe that when these buildings are reoccupied in their renovated state, the respect for these buildings will be substantially greater." Lucas said.
The advisory committee would continue to meet during the coming academic year, he said, to suggest solutions for problems that might arise.
Med Center to start clinic for victims of agoraphobia
By JANE FORMAN CIGARD
B. K. H.
For an estimated one million people in the
United States, going to a store, restaurant or
theater could be a challenge.
Staff Reporter
These people suffer from agoraphobia, the fear of open planes.
Paul Laybourne, professor of psychiatry at the University of Kansas Medical Center, says he believes people who suffer from agoraphobia can be helped.
LAYBOURNE IS starting a clinic at the Med Center that will combine drug therapy and group therapy sessions where agoraphobia sufferers share their problems and learn to cope with them.
Agarophobia must learn to cope with their panic attacks. The attacks come when the becomes anxious about something, but believes that the attack is caused by the place where the attack occurs.
In severe cases, some people are afraid to leave home. It may even warrant rooms in the home for them.
THE PHYSICAL REACTION of the body can be severe, Laybourne said. The agaporhobic person's heart pounds; he feels lightheaded, short of breath and often has chest pains.
"It really feels like you're dying; it's a terrible, experience," he said.
The first step in treating agoraphobia is to identify the problem, he said. Many people do not realize it is something that can be treated.
"They become afraid of being afraid," he said.
It is important for a person to recognize the attacks and not to fight them. After a person has had one or more attacks, he becomes afraid of them, making the anxiety worse, Laybourne said.
Laybourne has had success in treating people who suffer from agorapbolia with drugs known as beta-blockers, so-called because they block the production of noradrenalin from the adrenal glands. Noradrenalin stimulates heart beat and normal anxiety reactions in the body.
Agoraphobic people are susceptible to things in the environment that cause their systems to release the noradrenaline. Panic attacks then set in.
"These people are constantly scanning their
something the might make
they have an attack on."
Laybourne said he believed that agoraphobic people could also be help in group therapy sessions, where they can talk to others with the same problem.
In time, through the use of druft therapy to control the panic attacks and group therapy to learn how to cope with the attacks, Laybourne said he had agoraphobic could be completely overpowered.
"If they produce it, they can stop it," he said.
