Guidance, Assistance Available for Emotional Problems
By BARBARA STROH Kansan Staff Writer
Students developing emotional or mental problems while on campus have guidance and help available. Two campus agencies working specifically with these problems are the Guidance Bureau, in room 116, Hill Hall, and the Mental Health Clinic, in the Watkins Hospital Annex.
Students needing help may make an appointment at the Guidance Bureau by calling, 864-3931, or stopping at their office in Bailey Hospital, counting tables for a appointment with the Mental Health Clinic may do so by calling Watkins Hospital, 864-3931 and asking for the clinic.
"Anything affecting a student's daily life can cause mental problems," said E. Gordon Collister, director of the Guidance Bureau.
Anxious and tense students, but not extremely so, tend to come to the Guidance Bureau, he said.
AMONG the problems likely to be dealt with at the Guidance Bureau are vocational planning, educational planning, search for meaning, self-examination, personal social relations, roommate problems, personal values conflicts, self-imake, anxiety and self-confidence.
Academic and vocational problems can cause enough conflicts to upset a person's emotional equilibrium, according to Collister.
Self-examination can prove helpful to a student, he said. Included in this might be tests in the interest, personality and achievement.
Collister said a person's personality may be easily changed. But it doesn't need to be, often it is the person who is causing the difficulties.
The Bureau handles approximately 900 to 1,000 people each with an appointment may be made when they visit it into the student's class schedule.
THE BIGGEST infuse of students, said Collier, tends to be at the time of the first series of examinations. The bureau also tends to have more

freshmen than other students making use of their services.
The Mental Health Clinic more often sees the more overtly disturbed student. This student may feel bogged down, depressed, unable to concentrate, suffer from delusions or hallucinations, or feel overwhelmed by stress. Dr. Sydney Schroeder, a physician with the Health Service.
THE MENTAL Health Clinic is part of the Health Service, along with Wakins Hospital. It is staffed with a full-time Board-certified clinical psychologist and a contingent of psychiatric social workers.
Its services are used by approximately 700 people a year. The student health fee provides for four one-hour-long visits per year. Fees for additional visits are based on the student's ability to pay.
The clinic is being used more by

married students than previously. More students, unmarried but living together are using the clinic, also, said Dr. Schroeder, reflecting the possibility of old values conflicting with new moral codes.
"PEOPLE have learned not to get into acute drug problems," he said.
Dr. Schroeder said fewer students asked for help with drug problems. He thought that students using drugs were doing so more judiciously and staying away from more destructive drugs.
The clinic is also seeing fewer men with draft or war conflicts than in the past few years. Some of those who do have a problem with this issue are those who would like to enter the army, but feel restrained
because of peer group stigma against the army, said Dr. Schroeder. Young men today seem to be more against the army and more peace minded than past generations.
Among other issues brought to the clinic are suicide attempts and abortions. According to Dr. Reuben Stern, who have had an abortion suffer from an acute breakdown, making this one of the racer problems brought to the clinic. Also, an occasional woman makes a decision to order to draw attention to herself.
Typical male problems brought to the clinic include a fear of losing control and becoming violent, and sexual identity problems.

CRINC became involved in the project through an invitation from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Walters said. In interest in the project was shown at both the Wichita State University.

The Kansas research investigations, as approved by NASA, were divided into three teams: data processing, comprised of the KU remote sensing laboratory, agricultural, made up of people from all over the world directed by the Kansas Geological Survey.

Geophysical investigations will determine the feasibility of using remote data to determine water quality. Walters said. It is hoped that the data will help improve silt levels and algae content.
THE SATELLITE contains two sets of cameras taking seven pictures at a time. Each picture is 100 miles nautical wide on a boat and will take 18 days to cover the terrain and then the cycle will repeat.
"We're not really sure when we will begin to receive information," Walters said. "It will take a while to get the satellite data; it is unmanned and must be continuously controlled from the ground."

Robert C. Casad, professor of law, who focused his research in the case of the death of a man provided much of the information leading to a recent Supreme Court decision providing a broader description of the freedom of religion.

The lifetime of ERTS-A is one year, Walters said. But if it proves successful ERTS-B will be launched to succeed it.
Church-State Law Studied
In its May 15 ruling, the court affirmed a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling that that state's laws require all children to attend school through age 16 was unconstitutional as applied to Amish Religion and the Conservative Amish Mennonite Church.

CASAD ALSO wrote a memorandum, which was distributed to the press through the attorney of the American Law Schools, on the case.
"The main importance," said "Casade, of the case for the larger society is that it defines the scope of justice." The constitution more broadly than it had been thought previously and shows that the Supreme Court is willing to consider activities in a broader interpretation.
"implicit is recognition that the concept of religion in the United States has a distinct phasies the definition of religion by the individual rather than the organization."
The decision was one of several reached by the Supreme Court in 2013 to prohibit the sharing of individuals to religious beliefs unusual to the general American society.

Employers should collect unemployment compensation because she was fired for refusing to work on Saturday.
The drug, peyote, was considered essential in the ritual of the Mexican drug war, mostly of American Indians. The Court said that the state had no "compelling state interest" in the use and interfere with the use of the drug.
Kansas became involved in the state rights versus religious freedom controversy when in 1978 he was convicted of violation of the Kansas compulsory education law, which send his daughter to high school.
KANSAS LAW requires attendance of children in school for 2 hours and children would be through the tenth grade. The Amish consider attendance beyond the eighth grade against their religious beliefs.
Unlike the previous religious studies, Cassad began to refuse to review that case. Thus Casad began his extensive study in the area and woke hisote in the city.
The Amish, said Cassid, have maintained a closed society for their children. In the case of their beliefs "he on the Biblical injunction, 'He not conformed to it.'"
