"Why do some college students crack up?" Mrs. Rogers bellevezi, "Part of the reason is found in the indlvidual--his inherited characteristics, bio— chemistry, and age." To these cnn be added those things which happen to the individual. "'When a col— lege student arrives at school, he brings with him the influences of his home, school and past world. He brings the experiences that will make or break him," Dean Rogers continued. The college student is faced for the first time, with making adult decisions, and taking the responsi— bility for their results, she says. The student has more personal freedon of going and coming, of de— ciding what and when to study, and of how to con— duct himself with others. A recognition of the frus— trations of the college situation may be one step nearer adjustment, accord— ing to Dean Rogers. For some, the answer may be withdrawal from these frustrations. For others, the answer may be found in facing and challenging them. on most campuses there is an atmosphere which en— oonragos crtyntive thought s i NOVEMBER 7 1958 hard work, and the search for truth.
