over the fact that the previous year two highly-regarded graduates from Shawnee had committed suicide during their freshman year at the University of Kansas. And, there had been reported instances of four students in the high school attempting suicide. This, in a school where 75 per cent of the enrollment goes on to college. One of the speakers was Karl Menning. of the Menninger Clinic, in Topeka, Said the famed researcher into problems

occasionally suffer periods of depression and feel a need to talk to someone. As Scholastic Roto reported, however, the matter of to whom to take problems is another source of pressure. The students deplored the lack of communication between parents and teen-agers Asked for a show of hands on who causes the most pressures, parents or teachers, the students voted parents the winner or loser? by a wide margin. But the perplexed parents got in a word. Said one, students should remember that it is the “parental place to exercise control and responsibility for their children, to know what is going on. Who else cares enough?”

A new look NEW YORK UPI — Let your imagination play op art when you remodel a room. Op art technique, reminds the Tile Council of America, uses colors and designs to make small rooms seem larger, larger rooms smaller, oblong rooms square and square rooms ob1 o n g. Dimensions are not changed. The home planner is able to tmsquare squares, shorten or lengthen walls, raise or lower ceilings without a single structural change to your home or apartment. Ceramic tile stripes on bathroom or kitchen walls, for example, will give the illusion of raising the ceiling if they’re vertical, lower it if horizontal, at the same time that they contract or expand the apparent , size of the room. Use of a different color on each of two opposing walls will make a square room look rectangular. Light colors will make a room seem larger; warm or dark colors, smaller. Floor and ceiling patterns and colors will also help shape a room. That long narrow room, for instance, can appear to be shortened by making the two end walls darker than the others. They could also be papered or made into accent walls of ceramic tile while the longer sides are left plain. Idea is to provide a visual stop. Otherwise your eyes will carry the length lines of the room off to j infinity.
