History and Help at PSU/Hazleton Starting on November 11, 1985, a new counseling service becade available to students of the Penn State Hazleton Campus. Conceived by a committee of concerned staff, and students, the newly formed program will deal with students who are experiencing difficulties such as dealing with stress and coping with problems. This program is supported by Dr. Dennis Heitzman, Director of Counseling and Psychological Services at University Park, and it'ts the first of its kind at any of the commonwealth campuses at the Pennsyl vania State University. Mr. Joseph Mule, the Director of Outpatient Ser vices at Hazleton-Nanticoke Mental Health Center, will be spending one half day each week at the Hazleton Campus with students who are encountering difficul ties in dealing with per sonal adjustment. Mr. Mule has counseling experience with all age groups. During a recent inter view, Mr. Mule expressed a serious concern for the early identification of coping difficulties and the ramifications that could develop from not recog nizing troubled students. "The majority of col lege students are under tremendous -pressure," he said. "Keeping up with grades, paying for expen ses, and dealing with per sonal problems--these are just a few examples of such problems. Also, family troubles and dealing with life away from home have a great bearing on the sta bility of the college stu dent. When troubles like these arise, anxiety and depression set in." by Matt Harris In addition, Mr. Mule stated that it is normal for college students to undergo coping difficulties and that there comes a time in everyone's life when he or she is unable to cope with problems alone. He stated that there is help, and help should be sought. "Signs showing that anxiety and depression are setting in are lack of sleep, lack of appetite, lack of motivation, shaki ness, difficulty in breathing, and sweating. It is important for these stu dents to seek help and not let the situation get out of hand," Mule stated. Each individual of the Penn State Hazleton Campus should be grateful that such a program has been implemented into the life line of the campus. We are very lucky in the sense that none of the other com-6 monwealth campuses or the Main Campus possess such a program. Whether or not we admit it, we should realize that everyone has problems and that no one should feel ashamed to seek counseling. All problems can be dealt with effectively. Remember: having the courage to seek counseling is the first step in making a better "you." If anyone feels the need for counseling, he or she can schedule an ap pointment for Mr. Mule through Sue Cervasio in Room 215 of the Administra tion Building.
