Searching the stacks
A boost for some; a bust for others

Kansan staff writer
The unseasonably warm weather Kansas residents have experienced this year may be the right antidote for cabin fever.
But it doesn't warm everyone's spirits.
More depression cases occur during spring and fall than during winter, said Linda Keeler. Mental health care at Watkins Memorial Health Center
Keeler said that experts thought that changing seasons could cause depression.
The recent warm weather could have both positive and negative effects on students, she said.
"For some people, male more than female, exercise works as a mild antidpressure." Keeler said. "And for others, it can be more likely to be outside exercising."
James Lichtenberg, psychiatric director of the University Counseling Center, said the warm weather had a positive effect on some people.
"My sense is that it will affect people." Lichtenberg said. "But I don't think it will be a shot in the arm for everyone. There are other factors that can contribute to depression besides the weather, and some people may just enjoy being inside."
Keeler said that the warm weather could eliminate many stressful situations associated with the cold. However, at least one disorder would not be affected by the current warm trend.
"There is a disorder called the Seasonal Affective Disorder, which is based on the amount of daily sunlight a person receives," Keeler said. "Theoretically, people become depressed as the days grow shorter and then improve as the days grow longer. The warm weather will have no effect on that particular disorder."
According to the January issue of Scientific American, some of the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder are depression, lethargy, inability to concentrate and overeating.

issued a sealed order last Thursday detailing how much classified information must be disclosed by the defense in order for North to get a fair trial.
No final decisions have been made, sources familiar with the process said Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity.
An earlier review by the interagency group led to dismissal of conspiracy and their charges against the Reagan administration.
The interagency group concluded in that earlier review that due to national security concerns it would not declassify much of the material which Gesell ordered must be disclosed at trial.

"Part of what the University is trying to do is contain enrollment growth," he said.
COSTA RICAN VISITS: The head of the University of Costa Rica is visiting the University of Kansas today for the first time since his election to that position in 1888.
Luis Garita, rector of the university, will spend three days on the Lawrence and Kansas Canal, canoeing visiting Kansas University on Friday.
State University Garita is expected to discuss expanding exchange programs between Costa Rica and KU.
Jon Vincent and Charles Stansifer, co-directors of the Center for Latin American Studies, will be Garita's hosts during his visit.
ROTARY AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP:
A KU student has received a Rotary Foundation Scholarship to the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.
Matthew Roosen, Salina senior received a full-scholarship recommendation from the Salina district to be a Rotary ambassador. Rotary International confirmed the district's recommendation in January.
Roesner was chosen for the scholarship based on academics, activities and his ability to represent the United States. While Roesner attends the University of Strathclyde, he must give speeches to the understanding of U.S. citizens. Roesner will leave in October for Scotland.
"Rotary has given me the opportunity to visit another country as an ambassador of the United States," Roesner said. "It is their hope, as well as mine, that I will not be another tourist, but rather be one of their own, sharing and enjoying their culture while giving a taste of mine."
