Nineteenth-century attitudes toward mental illness still haunt students seeking mental health services, John O. Schroeder, Watkins Hospital psychologist, said yesterday. He said that when Nuria was worse today than 10 years ago.
"There is a sigma that goes with coming to the mental health clinic," Schroeder said. "People feel they will be branded by seeking psychic help."
"During the '60s and '70s the attitudes toward mental illness were better than they are today. Because of abuses in state hospitals and mistreatment of mental patients, faith in psychiatry has regressed the past 10 years."
WATKINS HOSPITAL Mental Health Clinic treats more than 600 student patients yearly. This number could be

"This attitude makes these losses and disabling as a death in the family does."
Schroeder said the majority of students the clinic saw were not seriously disturbed, but needed help pinpointing what was bothering them. She also noted that patients treated needed more therapy than just doctor-patient conferences.
"We try to help the student with finding and understanding what makes them uptight, and we only help students to succeed," Schroeder said, "to continue school." Schroeder said.

MARRIAGE AND relationship counseling also is offered by the clinic.
"We have members on our staff who have special interest in helping married couples Schroeder said. "We have members in relationship with genuineness commitment."
Students can go directly to the clinic or be referred by a doctor. Health clinic records are not included in student records and are kept strictly confidential.
The first four visits to the clinic are covered by the student health fee. Hours for the clinic, located on the second floor of Watkins Hospital, are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Lawrence, Kansas
Clark refused comment when asked yesterday about his intentions.
If Clark enters the race, he would be continuing a 11-year involvement with local government. He first entered politics in 1970, as an appointee to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission.
Clark won his first commission term in 1973, rolling up a 1,231-margin margin at 13 other candidates. In 1973 he has served as mayor in 173 and 179.
Sydney Krampitz, new associate dean of the School of Nursing, was attracted to the University of Kansas by the nursing school's emphasis on non-traditional roles for nurses, she said.
Nursing outreach programs bring associate dean to KU
Kramptis, who joined the nursing school faculty Jan. 5. was associate dean of the nursing school at Veterans's Administration hospital in Chicago for the past two years.
"I like the idea of outreach programs for nurses," Kramptz said. "These programs were traditionally separate from the core requirements for a nursing degree, but are now in the mainstream of nursing education."
students who want to stay where they are but still obtain an advance degree.
Kramptz herself will teach a course in administration at Fort Hays State College.
The outreach program sends nursing school faculty to cities and towns throughout the country.
"The outreach program is unique," she said. "It is important for education because it helps them feel more connected."
Since Krampti came to KU, she said she has been impressed by the facilities and the close relationship between faculty and students.
Kramptz said she was also enthusiastic about the work-study programs run by the school of nursing.
"It provides a more realistic learning experience for the students," she said. "It is a need for better prepared nurses a need for all of them to be working."
