There is no doubt that the increasing number of people using the UHS psychiatrists reflects a greater awareness among the faculty and employees of the college that the service is available. But the disturbing figure is the number of students who have to be sent to mental hospitals for extensive treatment. There were "more than 30" such cases last year: a record high. Blaine says that the increase may reflect the inability of students to take a year off without being drafted--and these are the students who are apt to feel that they are under pressure and need...
...Psychic Rewards. Mr. Mac draws a salary of $98,970 a year, and his personal 13% stockholding in his company (worth $90 million) earned him another $730,000 in dividends last year. But he is not impressed by the figures, only by what they reflect of the success of his lifelong plan. Says he: "I don't work for money any more, just for the psychic rewards...

Whenever somebody suggests expanding the roads...
...perception scales (of the Myer Biggs type indication), which are called sensing or intuition, reflect whether the subject "relies primarily on the familiar process of sensing, by which he is made aware of things directly through one or another of his five senses, or primarily on the less obvious process of intuition, which is understood as indirect perception by way of the unconscious, with the emphasis on ideas or associations which the unconscious tacks on to the outside things perceived." Mean scores in intuition were more than twice as high as means in sensation...
