exam and come back upset, worrying
about future exams, at the same time
feeling relief from the past exam.,
Newbury said there are two major
types, of problem students: the pro-
crastinator and the obsession-type
student.
"The procrastinators don't do any-
thing until the last moment and the
obsession-type studies 40 to 50 hours
a week," Newbury said.,
Newbury blames most of the
student problems on the University,
rather than the students themselves.
"High school counselors misrepre-
sent the real world and the Univer-
sity reinforces the misrepresenta-
tions," Newbury said.

He explained that many counselors
fail to inform students of the actual
job market: "You've got about 75 per
cent of the students either pre-med or
pre-law, and half the remaining 25
per cent are business oriented,"
Newbury said.
"People should not feel that the
medical and law professions are the
only careers to choose from," he
added.
Newbury said the University hous-
ing squeeze is partly to blame for
some student problems. The convert-
ing of standard two-person rooms
into triples increases roommate
anxiety.
"Close to one half of the triples

have roommate fights," Newbury
said. "It's not the student's fault, but
the University's and the University
has an obligation to meet these prob-
lems."
Newbury said he feels it is about
time the University makes a move to
correct its problems and help stu-
dents develop anxiety coping skills.
He proposed a "brainstorming
session" where University deans,
counselors and resident advisors
would seek answers to the anxiety
problem.
Dr. Alice Brunner, director of
student counseling services, said she
has also noticed an increase in
student problems caused by Univer-

uncooked rice. Everything belonged
to the 'angkar,' the Khmer word for
the organization. Rations began to di-
minish in March until they reached
one tin of rice per, day for eight
people. There were many deaths due
to sickness. I would estimate that 80
per cent of the people died.
"Generally, the poor died first
because the wealthier people still had
jewels they could barter with the
wives of the Khmer Rouge soldiers
for extra food.
"If a mother was caught stealing
food, the whole family was taken
away. Cats and dogs disappeared.
People began to eat the flesh from
dead bodies. A teacher who ate the
flesh of her dead sister was caught
- and beaten to death with sticks in
front of the whole village, her child
crying beside her.
Then, in May 1977, he and his wife
and 10 others left on a 100-mile trek
through the jungle to the border with
Thailand. His wife and the others
were eventually caught by the
Khmer Rouge, he said. He was the
last left free'
"I ATE leaves and fruits, frogs and
turtles. Three vultures followed me
for a week. Five kilometers from the
border, the Khmer Rouge saw and
took me prisoner. But I was no longer
afraid. I thought that by dying I

would join my family."
Yathay said he "miraculously"
managed to escape from his captors
during a driving rainstorm and made
his way into Thailand on his hands
and knees. He displays a picture
taken by Thai officials a month after
he arrived. He was so gaunt that his
head lookslike a balloon on a string.
It is impossible to tell if it is Yathay.
"The Khmer Rouge are very radi-
cal communists. They beat the
Americans by force of arms and they
were the first to do so. They are very
proud of this, and they want to show
the world they are first among com-
munists that they can establish a
pure, classless society before anyone
else.
"But with all these deaths and
destruction, did the Khmer Rouge
succeed in establishing a classless
society? No. There are two classes.
Those of the new population who
survive have seen thousands die. r
"The Khmer Rouge leaders are
intellectuals, trained in France. They
have acknowledged that because of
this they have individualist tenden-
cies that could come out. They can't
let up because that would be senti-
mental and they could be accused of
revisionism and called traitors.
They're caught in their own trap."

sity pressures.
Brunner said besides the Univer
sity demands, students struggle t
meet parent's expectations and try t
meet accomplishments of older
brothers and sisters.
"High achievers from the top o
their high school class come here
and find they can't be at the top of the
class. Immediately they think. that
there is something wrong and doubt
their self-worth."
Gene Nissen, assistant dean o
LSA, said the attrition rate among
LSA students has increased over the
years and about one-third may drop
out before graduating.
He said of the 400 LSA students on
probation from last semester, 30
will probably leave the University
Although most students learn to
cope with their problems, some
University students try the ultimae
cop-out - suicide.
Fred Davids, director of Univer:
sity safety, said on-campus suicide
attempts between 1971-76 numbered
31, some of which were successful:
Last year there were five suicide at;

''Looking a t other campuses, I'd.

of them," said Walter Stevens,
assistant director of campus secur-.
ity. "To the best of our knowledge,;
I'd say that the numbers are lower-
