4 Pag& 24-Friday, September 10, 1982-The Michigan Daily r Retired classical studies prof. dies at age 74 By FANNIE WEINSTEIN Gerald Else, former chairman of the University's classical studies depar- tment, died Sept. 6 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, at the age of 74. A professor emeritus of Greek and Latin, Else was the author of two major works of classical scholarship, in- cluding "Aristotle's Poetics: The Argument," published in 1957. ELSE, WHO received associate Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees from Har- vard University, was classical studies chairman at this university from 1957- 68. Founder of the University's, Center for Coordination of Ancient and Modern Studies, he served as the center's direc- tor until his retirement in 1977. "I think he was special in two ways," said Prof. John D'Arms, current chairman of the classical studies department. "As a chairman in the modern, democratic form, he was remarkably sensitive and gifted. He was tolerant of many divergent points of. view, but firm in his own judgmen- ts."' Else often sought advice from younger faculty members and urged their participation in departmental matters, according to D'Arms. "I lear- ned that lesson from him and feel for- tunate that I learned it," he said. A lectureship established last year in Else's name, the Gerald Else Lecture in Humanities, will continue, D'Arms said. "We hope that contributions will be made to the University in order to help continue that lectureship," he said. A memorial service for Else will be held at 4 p.m. on Sept. 17 at St. An- dreV's Church. 'U' considers expanding refrigerator rentals to include all campus dorms I By GREG BRUSSTAR After testing the w ters in the refrigerator rental. business, University officials are considering expanding the service and offering refrigerators to students in all 14 dormitories next fall. This year, the University offered refrigerators to residen- ts of four dormitories - Baits, Bursley, Markley and South Quad - on a trial basis to see if the service would prove profitable. And even before classes started yesterday, of- ficials seemed happy with their gamble, pointing out that most of the' University's 1,000 refrigerators had already been rented. IN FACT, said the University's housing business manager, there is "a good possibility" that all dorm residents will be able to rent refrigerators directly from the University starting next September, bypassing the two private rental agencies in town. "We're doing very well. Eighty percent of the refrigerators are in place and ready to go," said Larry Durst, the housing business manager. "It's making the return a little bit simpler for students." The University has done well in its first attempt to com- pete with the private rental services despite the fact that it charges a higher fee for the service. DURST JUSTIFIED the higher fee-ranging from $4 to $6 greater than the private agencies-pointing out that the University does not charge for insurance or a deposit and delivers the units directly to the dorm room. The University's announcement of the new service in June sent the competition-the University Cellar and Frigid Midget rentals-scrambling. University Cellar managers decided to back out of the race slightly, selling off 600 of their 1,500 refrigerators to a firm in Ohio. Frigid; Midget cut its rental rate from $32 to $30. But a week into the fall rush, managers of the two private services seem less worried Fred Flis, manager of Frigid Midget, said "it's business as usual" and said the new com- petition was having few effects on his business. While acknowledging that rentals were clearly off this year, Bruce Weinberg, the general manager of the Univer- sity Cellar, said his store has not suffered financially from the change since it anticipated the loss and sold many of its refrigerators. " We calculated how many (refrigerators) we would need given that the University was renting them," Weinberg said, "and it looks like we estimated correctly because we've rentedabout 90 percent of them." 4 Daily Photo by ELIZABETH SCOTT - STUDENTS CLAIM their rented refrigerators outside of South Quad dor- mitory yesterday. The University is competing, with local businesses in refrigerator rentals this fall. Alcohol: A By SHAUN ASSAEL The consumption of alcohol, always a popular pastime on campus, can often become too much for students to han- dle. But when students develop drinking problems,' the services available may not be reaching them, local experts say. "There is no direct way this univer- sity can come into contact with alcoholism," Harold Korn, director of the University's counseling services said. "We can only find out about alcoholics if they come to us. As a result, all I have is grapevine evidence THE WORLD IS OUR CAMPUS -fine line b that the problem is increasing." THE PROBLEM with treating students for alcoholism lies in reaching them, officials from the University counseling centers agree. The Univer- sity's counseling service, the Univer- sity Hospital's Outpatient Clinic, and Health Service all have suffered from a lack of out-reach programs, according to various health experts. University Hospital officials also fear that those agencies that do treat alcoholic patients are under-equipped. "Only 10 percent of our patients are students because our program is so very small," said Terry Dunivin, a senior social worker at the University Hospital's outpatient clinic. "We just don't have the resources to reach out to them." THE PROBLEM with alcoholism is growing, not only on campus, but on a nationwide level. The Department of Health and Human Services reports that in 1981 some 10 million adults suf- fered from problem drinking with 3.3 million people affected between the ages of 14 and 17. Although no specific data is available concerning the alcoholism rate among University students, Washtenaw Coun- ty's Substance Coordinating Agency reports that 833 of the 3,000 people *~~~~~ 'o orycs.Ddiae aeil onsanl flte oreview ofPE expert in their field. lerasnessnsaendersupe " Opportunity totrakser to metary materials adcon stud at y " Classes taught by skilled of our over 105 centers, intructors. etween pastime and problem I4 treated for alcoholism last year were in the 18 to 20 age group. The University has a problem in determining how many students are simply "weekend" drinkers and how many are addicted to alcohol, accor- ding to Jean Brown of the Washtenaw County Substance Abuse Coordinating Agency. "IT WOULD be difficult for the University to do comprehensive research on the question because it has such a large influx and outflux of students and alcoholism is a long-term problem," said Brown adding, "It would be damn nice if they could do more than they are doing now." The University's Health Service has no agency or official specifically assigned to the issue of alcoholism. Universities across the country, however, are beginning to deal with alcoholism in a comprehensive man- ner. One of the major innovators in the area of alcoholism -treatment and education is Dartmouth. University, which has created a four-year training program to help medical students find ways to identify-and treat alcoholism. "PHYSICIANS are running around the country who have no idea what an alcoholic patient looks like. We are trying to correct that," said Judy Low, a worker in the program, called Operation Cork. Although the one-million-dollar grant for Operation Cork is not specifically for student treatment services, faculty members from the, program have begun aiding student campus alcoholism groups, Low said. The University trains its dormitory resident advisors to deal with a variety of medical and psychological problems, but some say the University may be relying too heavily on RAs to spot alcoholism and other substance abuse problems. w "THE UNIVERSITY is depending too much on RAs to take care of the whole problem," said Mary Ann Caballero, an outgoing resident direc- tor in West Quad. "We can counsel students and refer them to clinics, but we are only students and have our own problems, too." Social worker Dunivin agreed. "Unless the RAs are especially well- trained, there is no way they can do it. Often the RA will treat alcoholism as a psychological problem, but that just makes things worse-some people must simply never drink again." Economic difficulties and family' problems are two main reasons behind the rise in alcoholism, area experts report. "I've seen many students who have one parent out of work, are under pressure to take more credits because education costs are going sky high, and who want to do well because the job market is so depressed," said Margot Morrow of the University's Honors Of- fice. "This year's group of students is a highly pressured lot." Another problem with fighting-." alcoholism on campus is that without parents near to recognize the problem and prod them to seek help, many students avoid admitting they are alcoholics, said local psychiatrist David Logan. "Those who become drug-dependent in their early twenties will drop out of life by their early 'thirties. Their sex" lives amount to zero, their vitality gets diminished over time, their marriages aren't worth a lot, and by their forties,' they don't have much to live for," Logan said.

'U' fraternity brothers killed in summer automobile accident By JERRY ALIOTTA Two members of the University's Sigma Chi fraternity were killed in an auto accident August 29 while returning from a fraternity brother's wedding in Ohio. Thomas Cravens and Timothy Girar- dot, 20-year-old juniors, died when a pickup truck hit the car in which they were riding, according to an officer from the Mentor, Ohio police department. The accident occurred on a highway about 20 miles from Cleveland. TESTS REVEALED that both the car's driver, 22-year-old Frederick Schuler, and the driver of the truck were under the influence of alcohol during the accident, according to Men- tor Police Sgt. David Hyslop. Both drivers are charged with a first degree misdemeanor for drinking and driving and they face possible jail sentences. Schuler, a recent University graduate, and former Sigma Chi chap- ter president, was seriously hurt and remains hospitalized with internal in- juries. The driver of the truck was not hurt. Schuler may face stiffer penalties for his involvement in the accident, Hyslop said. "Even though the driver of the pickup was under the influence of alcohol, Schuler failed to yield while 'making a left turn," he said. "He's probably in more of a hot seat." Although formal charges have been filed against the drivers by the state of Ohio, the parents of the deceased do not plan to prosecute, Hyslop said. Cravens, of Evanston, ,Ill., and Girardot, of Birmingham, Mich., were' active members of the fraternity, said Thomas Merchant, current president of- the University's Sigma Chi chapter. "They were very instrumental in th'e organization of the house," Merchant said. "It's a great loss, because they were both well-liked people and very popular around campus." Fraternity members will hold a memorial service in Ann Arbor and are"" considering creating a scholarship fund in their memory, Merchant said.
