ageecie and counselors.
Mr. O.' L. - It'i her first
year at college, and it's get
ting her down.
Harriet L. -I have problems
I can't explain or discuss with
anyone. -Mr.
O. L. - Harriet's moth
er died two years ago. Harriet
was 16 then, still in high
school, and with the aid of
'her older sister and brother,
plus her teacher and friends,
she seemed to have made her
-peace with the cruel fate that
deprived her of a mother, and
me of a devoted wife. :
Now, however, I feel help
less to cope with her new de-
presslon over courses which
7 ;are too hard, friends who are
too scarce, and dates which
.are too few and far between
My other children didn't go
to college, so she won't listen
to their advice. I want the
. Dean or someone on the cam
pus to take her In hand. But
she says no one can possibly
' Understand her feelings. She
V does nothing but sulk and
cry...;
.; . e .
' - Harriet L. - There are cer
tain problems a person simply
must work out alone. I can't
. discuss boy-girl worries with
; Dad. He shouldn't feel bad
about that because the truth
is I couldn't even open up
' With Mother in that depart
ment, sweet and patient as
he was. And my brother and
lister can't help me keep up
iWlth the other girls scholas
tically and socially.
4 I'm coming to feel I don't
belong in college at all. It's a
sacrifice for Dad to send me.
We decided this is what
.Mother had hoped for for me.
But Mother woudn't want me
to stay where I'm headed
straight for the booby-prize. I
must decide whether to
change courses, change col
leges, or quit faking and 'go
to work. This is all wrong.
