“THERE’S just nothing I can
depend on any more," he
continued. “I’ve been paying
my own tuition for two years
now and I’ve sort of grown
away from my parents. I have
so much responsibility there’s
so much pressure on me.
Sometimes I feel I’m just going
to break.”
The unhappy student should
‘‘examine his own personal
resources, according to
Hoffman, develop
self-cQn fide nee in his own
judgement as to what’s good or
bad for him as a person. He
should also take advantage of
other resources such as
churches, campus religious
centers, and the University
Health Services."
Fortunately, most students
learn to adapt and grow with
their changing environment.
Some, however, may turn to
less desirable methods of
dealing with pressure and
insecurity. The student who
relys on drugs to dull the pain
of daily life may be stunting
his emotional growth.
DRUG ABUSE is an
acknowledged problem on the
college campus. Speed,
(amphetemines) is perhaps one
of the most frequently abused
drugs. “There is a profound
depression which is associated
with amphetemines," said
Campbell. “The user finds that
he needs a higher and higher
dosage to get back ‘up.’ The
worst thing about
amphetemines is that people
begin using them because they
are depressed, and they find
that they need more and
more."
‘Blacks,’ RJS, and pep pills
are plentiful on the Univeisity
campus and the price of a ‘hit’
of speed rises as exam time
approaches. Most students rely
on speed simply to help them
through a test or exam. Some,
however, may find that they
are depending more and more
on the drug just to make it
through the day.
An increasing number of
students are turning to such
methods as transcendental
meditation, group and
encounter therapy, as well as
the more bizarre outlets such
as “primal scream" encount-
ter groups to find a way of
coping with new problems. “I
have questioned the long-term

value of some of these
(faddish) approaches,” said
Campbell. “None of us change
abruptly. It is not likely that
one prolonged marathon
session could bring much
change. Time plus
understanding bring' change.”
IN FACT, intense
experiences in encounter
groups may be actually
harmful. “The impact may be
good for some people and be
very bad for those who are less
secure.” said Campbell.
What happens to the student
who discovers that, for one
reason or another, he is
incapable of dealing with
problems which seem
insurmountable? He may cry
out for help by attempting or
even successfully committing
suicide.

will lecture at the University
Thursday, May 25.
Ehrlich, a population
biologist who has sounded the
alarm over national and global
population growth, will discuss
“The Population Environment
Crisis: Where Do We Stand
Now?” at 8 p.m. in the Reed

A Professor of Biology at
Stanford, Ehrlich is author of
more than 80 scientific papers

popular press. He has authored,
co-authored, or edited nine
books, including “The
Population Bomb," “How to
Be a Survivor: A Plan to Save
Spaceship Earth,” “Man and
the Econosphere,” “Global
Ecology: Readings Toward a
Rational Strategy for Man,"
and “Principles of Modern
Biology."
The scientist is the
1972-1973 president of the
Conservation Growth, and a
member-at-large of the
governing board, American
Institute of Biological Sciences.
He is also an associate of the
Center for the Study of
Democratic Institutions and an
honorary Life member of the
American Museum of Natural
History.
AT PRESENT, Ehrlich is
working on density effects in
human populations,
experimental studies of natural

insects, plant-herbivore
coevolution, butterfly ecology.

La Pi eta to be restored
VATICAN CITY (UPI)
The Vatican’s chief art expert
said Monday he had
“absolutely no doubts" his
artisans could restore la Pieta
but said it may take as long as
three years to recreate
subtleties of the Michelangelo
masterpiece swhich were
shattered by the hammer blows
of a self-styled Messiah.
“The damage is not out of
the normal but the statue is.
This is our trouble,” Dcoclecio
Redig de Campos, director of
the Vatican Museum, said.
“Given the* delicacy of the
work it could take three
years," he said. But de
Campos, a Bri/.ilian-born
authority on the works of
Michelangelo and other
Renaissance arts, said he was
confident the Vatican’s
Restoration Laboratory had
“dealt with the same kind of
problems on lesser works with
complete success."
The massive white marble
statue of the Madonna seated
at the foot of the cross with
the dead Jesus on her lap was
attacked Sunday by a man
identified as Las/lo Tozh, 33. a
Hungarian geologist living in
Sydney, Australia.
Witnesses said the bearded
Toth jumped a low marble
balustrade, climbed the staris
to the platform on which the
statue rests and, shouting “I
am Jesus Christ,” struck four
or five blows with a sculptor’s
hammer thatbroke off the
Madonna’s left arm and nose
and chipped the left eye and
parts of the face and veil.
Toth, turned over to Italian
police Sunday night, faces
possible charges of damaging a
place of worship and insulting
the state religion. Public
Prosecutor Franco Plotino said.
Conviction carries up to six
years in prison.
Plotino said the case could be
handled under urgent
procedure with trial within 40
days unless a mental
examination was necessary.
But legal experts said there
may be controversy over
whether the court should apply
Italian or Vatican law.
PAUL EHRLICH
His field research is generally
carried out at Stanford’s Jasper
Ridge Biological Experimental
Area and at Rocky Mountain
Biological Loboratory at
Crested Butte, Colo., although
he has also engaged in field
work in Mexico, Alaska, the
Canadian Arctic and Subarctic,
Australia, New Guinea, New

Student Churite Accounts Welcomed
157 College Av; S48-3556
By CAMILLA HOWE
Exhibits ranged from a
slaughtered pit on ice (to
demonstrate meat inspection)
to ducks and a burro in the
large animal barn (just to look
at) at the College of Veterinary
Medicine open house last
Friday and Saturday.
Each class in the college
hosted a particular segment of
the open house. The senior
class did not participate
because they attended the
small-animal clinic.
OTHER exihibits included
aquatic animals. meat
inspection, exotic animals,
public health and toure of the
pathology lab and large animal
facility.
Mothers and fathers, with
children in hand, seemed to
enjoy the exotic animals
exhibit most. The sophomore
exhibit included a slide show
of Billy the Lion at the Atlanta
Zoo who had an abcessed
tooth.
X-Rays showed the decay of
the tooth, but zoo officials
wanted to save it. Veterinary
instructors assisted a dentist
who repaired the abcess. The
students also had a boa
constrictor, water moccasin,
screech owl, spidermonkey and
jungle sound track to attract
guests.
In the pathology lab, the
freshman class demonstrated
an EKG reading of a dog and a
t urtle. The dog was
anesthetized, and the machine
recorded heart sounds, heart
beats and breathing.
IN THE barn horses, bulls,
cows and # St. Bernard dogs
were recovering from surgery
or illness. The St. Bernards are
kept in the barn instead of in
the canine area becarse they
require more area than the dog
pens provide.
The large animal surgery
suites were also opened to the
public. The suites are
auditorium style so students
can watch the surgical
procedures.
The small animal surgery
suites are smaller glassed in
rooms. The suites are virtually
bacteria free, just as operating
rooms for humans.
A Children's Dog Show was
held Saturday afternoon in one
of the pastures adjacent to the
vet school. Events included
awards for the funniest face
and the longest tail.
ACCORDING to a vet school
spokesman, 1200 people
attended the open house
Friday. Among the 1200 were
several hundred grade-school
children from various Clarke
county schools.
The open house was designed
to show the public that a
veterinarian is not just a dog
and cat doctor. His duties can
range from governmental meat
inspection and research into
aquatic food sources such as
fish and shell fish to caring for
sick and injured large animals
like cattle and horses.
According to Bob Toale,
sophomore vet student, this is
the first time the open house
has been this elaborate.
Previously the open house has
been a tour of the facilities of
the school.
