Crisis center line helps
students fight stress
The confidential phone line
is available 24 hours a day
Monday through Friday
Aimee Rudin
Family/Health/Education Reporter
It could he the rain, or the pres
sures of higher education, or maybe
it’s just human nature that causes
depression and anxiety in some Uni
versity students.
Whatever the cause, more than 17
percent of 405 surveyed University
students sought counseling for stress
in 2001-02, according to an annual
University Health Center survey.
The University offers two primary
options for students seeking help
with emotional, psychological and
physical problems and concerns.
Students most commonly use the
University Health Center, with its
staff of trained medical professionals
and clinical setting.
Anne Mattson, interim director for
the health center, said handling
stress is a concern for University stu
dents, but coming up with solid
numbers can be difficult.
“Because stress is not a diagnosis,
we have no way of knowing how
many students come in seeking
treatment,” she said.
The University Crisis Center of
fers an alternative to the health cen
ter for students hoping to talk to
someone about their problems.
The crisis center is a confidential
telephone hot line available to stu
dents and community residents 24
hours a day Monday through Fridav.
Phones are staffed by trained Uni
versity students and overseen by
doctoral students in Counseling Psy
chology. Calls to the hot line range
from questions about school and
classes to relationship concerns and
issues surrounding suicide.
“A lot of stigma is attached to seek
ing help, especially on a crisis line,”
crisis line Assistant Director George
Hanawahine said. "We are trying to
put a message out there that it doesn’t
have to be serious to call. We would
like to play a role that is a little more
preventive if possible.”
A University study discussing the
most stressful experiences for stu
dents in the 2002 rated academic
concerns, such as midterms and fi
nals, relationships, and balancing
work and school as the top concerns
students face.
“The most common calls are
loneliness and depression,” said
Kasie, one crisis line worker who
did not want her last name used be
cause people who know her may
not feel comfortable calling. “I have
heard all sorts of calls, ranging from
abusive relationships to confusion
on sexual orientation.”
A majority of workers at the cri
sis center take part in Counseling
Psychology, a crisis-intervention
class offered fall and spring term.
Students enrolled in the class re
ceive at least 30 hours of instruc
tion in crisis intervention and par
ticipate in numerous role playing
activities to gain experience before
hitting the phone lines.
“The training you go through real
ly focuses on apathy rather than em
pathy,” Kasie said. “This in itself is
difficult; it is very hard to hear some
one’s struggles and not want to feel
bad for them.”
Because of the pressure associat
ed with working on the crisis line,
workers are asked to participate in a
weekly meeting where they share
their experiences and recognize
their strong points at work.
Hanawahine believes the meetings
give the staff an opportunity to de
brief and wind down after the events
of the week.
“Working on a crisis line can
sometimes be stressful and difficult
on the lives of our workers,” he said.
“It is important that our workers
practice good self care throughout
the year.”
The University Crisis Center can
be reached at 346-4488.

Duck Call
continued from page 1
over the phone.
“It seems like a bad idea for peo
ple like me, who don’t have a com
puter at home to use.” Searles said.
“And having two options is more
convenient than just having the In
ternet option.”
Chereek said that the Office of
the Registrar believes Web-based
registration provides better sendee
than Duck Call. lie also said the of
fice will work with students in any
way possible to provide quality reg
istration services. Students without
home computers have plenty of ac
cess to Web-based registration on
campus computers, he added.
“We want to be sensitive to anv is
sues that come up,” Ghereck said.
“We want to be available to hear stu
dent concerns.”
For some though, the end of an
era may go unnoticed.
“What’s Duck Gall?” freshman
Annie Bachman asked.

Assembly
continued from page 1
similar one led by Students for
Peace with more than 1,500 sig
natures attached, should give as
sembly members something to
discuss today.
“We think that these petitions
make it clear that a large number ot‘
faculty feel very strongly about the
issue,” he said. “We believe this is a
critical issue on w hich the Univer
sity needs to speak out.”
Overflow seating for today’s
meeting will be provided in 150
Columbia. Assembly members
will have priority in speaking dur
ing the session, and a speaker’s
signup sheet will be available at 3
p m. for community members if
time allows.
