School pressures directly related
College depression, results studied
by Anne M. Hedgcoxe
Battalion Reporter
The frequency of mild to
moderate depression in college
students is quite high, says an
assistant professor of
psychology.
Students are subjected to
academic, parental and peer
pressures which directly cause
depression, Dr. John H. Riskind
said.
Riskind, along with assistant
professor William Rholes and
graduate students, has been
conducting studies on the phe
nomenon of depression, the
things that happen during de-

Depression — a negative
mood state involved with pes
simism — can cause a distortion
of the normal memory proces
ses, said Riskind.
pression and the factors that
contribute to it.
“If you talk to depressed peo
ple, they say nothing good has
ever happened to them,” Ris
kind said- “When they are ex
tremely depressed, they literally
cannot remember anything that
is good. And that is a distortion.”
Through hypnosis, reminisc
ence and other techniques, Ris
kind hopes to demonstrate the
distortion effect, Find out why it
occurs and discover the factors
that make people vulnerable to
depression.
“We believe that certain kinds
of unrealistic, irrational beliefs
or assumptions people make ab
out themselves and the world
tend to set the stage for depress
ion or bad moods,” he said. “In a
sense, it is their belief system.”
However, Riskind said an in
dividual’s belief system is not the
only thing that causes depress
ion. Sometimes bad things hap
pen, he said.
Marine jet crashes near El Paso

Maj. Tom Turner, received only
a skinned arm when he was
ejected from the one-seater air
craft. Airport spokesman Bob
Guidry said Turner was ejected
350 feet into the air and came
down in an open parachute.
The crash was the second
such accident involving a milit
ary plane on a refueling stop in
El Paso in the last four months.
The wheels of the jet, which
was flying from Weymouth,
Mass., to Yuma, Ariz.,on a train
ing mission, sheared off on im
pact and the plane came in “hot
and hard” on its belly at about 1
p.m., Guidry said.
Jack Hardy, chief of the air
port control tower, said Monday
officials listened to tapes of a
conversation between the jet
pilot and the tower controller,
and the pilot “never said any
thing about losing control be
fore he touched down.”
Hardy said the jet crashed on
an airport runway which is
pointing away from Fort Bliss
and civilian residential areas.
“The tower controllers can’t
see the approach end of the run
way because of the airport ter
minal building,” Hardy said.
“They did see the skidding air
plane on the runway and knew
that the pilot had ejected safely.”
On April 4, a Navy F-4 Phan
tom jet crashed during a freak
Spring snowstorm. A second F-4
accompanying the fighter jet
skidded off the runway and got
stuck in the mud.

Liquid Energy Corp. is cur
rently waiting for construction
and operating permits for its
Bryan Hicks gas processing
plant — and Reliance residents
are fighting them every step of
the way.
Liquid Energy Corp., a sub
sidiary of Mitchell Energy, is
asking permission to release in
creased amounts of nitrous ox
ides, carbon monoxide and
other compounds into the air.
The request is the result of a
proposal to double the plant’s
processing capacity.
The company also has filed a
permit with the Texas Air Con
trol Board to install a 1,000
horsepower engine to compress
gas outside the plant.
However, community resi
dents of Reliance, located one
mile east of the East Bypass on
Old Reliance Road, want the
plant’s operations stopped.
Residents say the plant emits
air and noise pollution which de
creases the standard of living,
depreciates the property values
and may endanger their health.
Jim Braddock, attorney for
the TACB, said “We have
attempted an economical and
ecological balance.”
Braddock said the plant is a
closed system which emits a
sweet gas from its stacks.
Randy Hamilton, permits en
gineer for the TACB, said the
odorless emission is less harmful
than auto emission and the resi
dents are smelling an odoriza-
tion agent injected into the pipes
by Lone Star Gas. The agent is a
safety precaution required by
law so that leakages can be de
tected.
Alan Tarbutton, a senior vice
president with Liquid Energy
Corp., said the company hired
an acoustics expert who deter
mined that noise levels from the
plant were acceptable.
He also said the company will
build a 200-foot wide by 20-foot
high wall, made of acoustical
concrete blocks, to muffle the
noise.
Steve Ogden, of Chaparral
Minerals Inc., said the plant is
necessary for the oil and gas pro
duced in Brazos County. Resi
dents of Reliance must accept
the fact that the Bryan Hicks
plant must exist, he said.
But the mere existence is not
the issue. Reliance residents are
fighting the location.
“We have been denied the
right to protect our invest
ments,” said resident Beverly
Cumpton.
Therefore, after a two month
battle, six Reliance residents
have filed two suits against Li
quid Energy.
One suit, filed by Jack and Be
verly Cumpton and Ray and
Joyce Slaydon, states that odors
and noise from the plant make
their homes unhealthy and dan
gerous.
This suit also questions the
legality of the plant in line with
property deed restrictions,
which state that only single fami
ly dwellings may be built where
the plant is located.
The second suit, filed by De
nnis and Linda Driesbach, is a
damage suit. The Driesbach
family has been unable to sell
their home due to the Bryan
Hicks plant.
“How can they move into our
area without our permission?”
asks Rusty Richards, a Reliance
resident.
“This spring we couldn’t en
joy our home with the windows
down to hear the crickets. We
couldn’t enjoy hearing the
sounds we used to hear out there
because of that plant. If I sound
mad, I am,” he said. “The mar
ket value of my house is gone.”
