I will admit that in the past, certain nameless people have accused me of harshness and cruilty in this weekly column. At times like this, I might even admit they re right. But then again, a human being can take only so much. RIT, the manufacturers of proverbial straws used to break dromedarys backs, has done it again, as they do every year, three times a year.

Seiden of the School of Public Health at the University of California, has reported the results of a study of 23 student suicides from 1952 to 1961 at the Berkeley campus. Many students who commit suicide, Dr. Seiden said, "doubted their own adequacy, were dissatisfied with their grades, and were despondent over their general aptitude. Rather brilliant students," Dr. Seiden said, seemed to have suffered from a "fraud complex," in that they "felt they had achieved their success by specious means." Dr. Seiden suggests that the statistics themselves raise further questions, such as whether higher rates at top quality institutions are caused by greater academic pressures or are correlated with the types of students that such schools attract. Suicide rates are also known to increase during examination periods. Several institutions have opened special centers for counseling to help students with emotional problems. An "emotional crisis center" at the Univer- sity of Texas is open around the clock and a similar service at Southern Colorado State College operates under the name of "Help Anonymous." s a elections set

There are those in the administration who said "They ll get over it," or, "Well, those are the breaks when you choose to come to RIT." Dr. James Campbell, Vice-president of Student Personel Services, said in a special interview last year, "Students who have signed a two year lease on their apartments against Institute policy will have to break their lease or be expelled." It was obviously evident that within an almost totally financially oriented school, students were either going to pay, and pay a lot, or they could seek their educational training elsewhere. The Institute was either going to fill those dorms, or expell everybody. And then came fall quarter, 1968. "Economically speaking . . ." $420. ? Dexter L
