Universitv Daliv Kansan, January 31, 1983 Page 9 Doctor offers cure for winter blues By SUSAN STANLEY Staff Reporter As winter progresses, students trapped inside by cold weather may fall prey to "cabin fever." The affliction is caused by the boredom and inactivity that often accompany cold weather, Sydney Schroeder, psychiatrist at Watkin Hospital's mental health clinic, said last week. "We are lucky this winter because it has been comparatively mild," he said. Everyone can experience some form of cahin fever, Schroeder said, but it does not become a serious problem with already existing problems. "Bad weather just accentuates the problem," he said. A KEY TO overcoming mild cases of cabin fever is exercise, Schroeder said. Vigorous exercise is good for everyone, but it is especially necessary during the winter, he said. sary during the winter, he said. It is also harder to get exercise then, he said. "People find it harder to make an effort to run or even to take a walk when it is cold outside," he said. "You have to realize the benefits they can gain." When a person exercises he feels not only the physical effects from increasing circulation and stretching unused muscles, but he also gains the satisfaction of having accomplished something, he said. Mac McCaskie, para-professional counselor for Headquarters Inc., 1602 Massachusetts St. said, "The best advice that I can give to someone who is suffering from fever to remind me of the importance to look out of something坏 in the ordinary to do. A lot of cabin fever is just boredom." McCASKIE, SAID that Headquarters had not many cases of winter-related depression yet, but as soon as the semester pressures began affecting students, the numbers would increase. If cabin fever progresses into a more severe depression, McCaskie said, talking and thinking about the cause of the problems will help. If friends or roommates exhibit problems, he said, try giving them a chance to talk about what is bothering them. "Often in cases of depression, students think that no one understands them, or worse than that, no one even cares," he said. "We really aren't very good listeners. Sometimes all someone needs is an ear," he said. "Students can practice a little preventive Finding out when friends' tests are is a good way to know when they will need support, he said.

GOP leader denies gubernatorial plans By JEFF TAYLOR Staff Reporter The permit system would allow cars to be parked on the streets in this area for more than 48 hours, but not for more than 30 days. Owen, a Stanley banker and former lieutenant governor, defeated challenger Robert Allen, a Wichita civil engineer, 91 to 28 at the GOP's annual Kansas Day party caucus in Topeka. Owen replaces former Gov. Robert Bennett as committee chairman. During his nomination speech, Owen said that contrived political motives behind his candidacy for the GOP state chairmanship had been widely publicized during the last eight weeks. Dave Owen said his election Saturday to the Kansas Republican Committee chairmanship was not a political move toward the governor's race in 1986 and 1987. Bennett had been state chairman since last August when Morris Kay, of Lawrence, decided to run for Congress in Kansas' 2nd District. The Republican crowd cheered Owen during a standing ovation after Bennett announced the final tally of votes. "This term ends in '84," he said. "I don't consider this job a springboard to anything, really." Owen urged the delegates at the meeting to unite the party and said the state Republican headquarters needed to convince the ways it had supported the party. “Sometimes I think we spend too much time trying to reinvent the wheel instead of looking to the past at what has worked,” he said. THE REPUBLICAN party has held In his farewell address, Bennett, who did not seek re-election, said the state Republican headquarters had not been able to properly finance Republican candidates during 1982. He said that after his stint as party chairman, the Kansas Republican Committee had $46,000 in the bank. the governor's office only four of the last 18 years. HE ALSO SAID that the GOP had lost the governor's election because the party had divided itself over the severance tax issue. "When I took this job, we were honestly living from hand to mouth," he said. And he said the Kansas Republican Committee needed to financially protect its candidates from the "slings and arrows" of those special interest groups. Bennett said state GOP candidates had turned to political action committees for financial aid, painting the state with darkly indebted to special interest groups. "That's precisely what happened in the last election," he said. "We went into the election divided. The Democrats ran in united." Bennett blasted Gov. John Carlin's stance on the severance tax and said the electorate had been guilty enough to avoid the state's financial burdens. "It's just going to bail out the overspending over the years," he said. "I think it is a poor tax and a poor time to pass it." 9th & Mississippi TWO LOCATIONS 838 W.230 841-219 841-3420 $9.85 per day 1st to 50 free free for only 8 a.m. All Our Cars Are Free!
