Plans begin to form; enrollment stays up
Depression is fact of life
By Allison E. Wood
The Rambler
"'Depression is alive and well at
Wesleyan just as it is in any facet of
life," said Deborah Norwood,
school nurse.
Depression is a common prob-
lem today and is usually misunder-
stood by most people, according to
What Everyone Should Know about
Depression, a pamphlet available in
the Baker Conference room., in the
health center in the Sid W.
Richardson Center.
Leaving home for the first time,
the demands of friends, money and
classes cause stress in most students
lives, said Norwood.
Students who feel stress tend to
focus on the problem. More time is
spent studying rather than relieving
the stress in beneficial ways, such as
exercise, commented Norwood.
According to. the pamphlet,
stress is "pressure from the outside
that can make you feel tense inside."
Stress affects a student's health and
happiness and can interfere in daily
activities.
According to the pamphlet, too
many or too drastic changes can
result in harmful tension. Examples
include personal loss, job changes,
family changes, illness and injury
and a change in lifestyle. Those fac-
tors can also lead to depression
especially in young adults who have
to adjust to many changes at one
time. .
Norwood,
who has been
involved in
psychologi-
cal nursing
for 15 years,
said that
depres-
s i o n
a f f e c t s
both men and
women. "Men are told to tough it
out," she said. "They're not as like-
ly to seek assistance as early as
women do."
Depression can be classified
according to degree of severity The
first is mild depression, commonly1
know as the "blues;" The "blues"
are usually brief and do not interfere
with daily activities. This is a natur-
al reaction to stress and tension,
according to the pamphlet.
Moderate depression is a feel-
ing of hopelessness that is similar to
mild depression, except the symp-
toms are more severe. Daily activi-
ties are harder to handle and unhap-
py feelings will not go away.
Suicide may seem like an option.
According to Dr. Marilyn Pugh,
psychology professor, the severity
of depression depends on how
impaired the individual is.
"Someone who still has the ability
to go to school is moderately
depressed, but when their job is in
danger or any thoughts of suicide
occur, then it is major. Professional
help is then necessary."

Wesleyan's Fall 1995 enroll-
ment has increased 3.7 percent
from the Fall 1994 enrollment of
2,040 and is at a head-count of
2,131 students, which does not
include the law school's enroll-
ment of 680 students.
Four years ago when the
Institutional plan was devised by a
committee of faculty, alumni and
current students, the goal was to
increase enrollment to 2,000 stu-
dents and then concentrate on the
retention of those students and
look at the possibility of adding
on more facilities.
According to Dave Voskuil,
vice president of enrollment and
student development, a facilities
group has worked on plan for a
year now.
"They have already presented
initial information to our alumni
group, board of trustees,; faculty
groups and staff groups. Once a
plan is finalized it will be present-
ed to student groups," said
Voskuil.
"One of the emphases of the
facility plan is to enhance the edu-
cation facilities, for example;
classrooms, faculty office space,
the upgrade and growth in dorm
space for students."
Currently, plans are to devel-
op a law center, in downtown Fort
Worth. Sites are being considered
by Wesleyan.
Although enrollment has
increased, it has not made a great
impact in the classroom, Voskuil
said.
"Our weekend student popu-
lation has been an. area where
we've seen some growth, but hav-
ing the class on the weekend, it
doesn't tax our classrooms during
the week. And of course, that's a
major concern, that we don't have
too many students taking classes
on the main campus that we don't
have enough facilities for them,"
said Voskuil. "We don't want to
lose that personal approach to
education where students get to
know the faculty."
Solange Mackovbily, senior,
finance major, likes the idea of
more people on campus. "There
is more diversity now and it's
more fun to have more people on
campus," she said.
"There are more people than
there used to be, definitely, but it
hasn't affected my classes," said
Ann Carver, senior accounting
major. "It's a good thing for the
school. They will make more
money."
According to Voskuil, about
95 percent of schools are revenue
driven. "If you don't have stu-
dents, you don't have the revenue.
And if you don't have the rev-
enue, you don't have the build-
ings, the faculty or the opportuni-
ty to do research," he said.
As of now, Wesleyan is not
concentrating on new recruitment
as it is with retention. To go along
with the general studies 1111
classes, which were developed to
help incoming freshmen adjust to
the college environment, a new
position of student coordinator
was made.
"We've made programming
changes in our staffing pattern
among the enrollment division to
provide a position for a new stu-
dent program coordinator, and
that is our assistant director of
new student programs, R,ynn
Sloan," said Voskuil.
Sloan's role is to work specif-
ically with new students on cam-
pus and aid in the transition from
high school to college or from
another college to this one.
"Retention is really the stu-
dents having more ownership in
their college or university, " said
Voskuil. "I think the increase in
enrollment has been significant
for the institution for a variety of
reasons, but I also think we're
keenly aware we don't want to
lose our identity as a school that
cares about our students."

|\ Campus remembers student
By Becky Balarin
The Rambler ,
Juan Luis Regalado was the son of Graciela and Manuel, brother of
Jose, Jesse, Alfredo, and Julio, best friend of Luis Martinez, and boyfriend
of Mayra Pineda. Martinez and Pineda are both Wesleyan students.
Regalado died on Sept. 11 when his car exploded in a four car accident
on Interstate 30 and Eastchase Parkway in Fort Worth. A tractor'trailer
failed to stop and ran into his car, causing him to hit the car in front of him.
Regalado's car exploded and he was unable to get out in time.
Regalado was born in Ciudad Juares, Mexico, on Aug. 17, 1977. He
grew up in Dallas where he attended Fannin and Lakewood elementary
schools, Spence Middle School and later attended North Dallas High
School. There, he iva.v a two year letterman on the varsity football team.
He played both offense and defense, but his specialties were tackle and
defensive end. Martinez played football with Juan and said that he was
very proud, to have played both offense and defense. The North Dallas head
football coach Erno Black, once said that if he ever had a son, he'd want
him to be just like Regelado.
When Regalado was a senior, he was nominated as the homecoming
king. He was also a member of the National Honor Society, yearbook,
Academic Decathlon, Math Club, and the YMCA Minority Achievers. Last
May. he graduated fifth out of a graduating class of approximately 255.
At the time of his death, Regalado was a chemistry major. His dream
was to become a chemist. He wanted to work for Dow Chemical and buy a
big house for his dad and a new car for his mom. In 1994, Regalado
entered a school science fair and won first prize for analyzing the school's
radioactivity.
Regalado loved to play football, work on cars, go dancing and watch
TV.
"He used to change the oil for my car, " said Pineda. He also fixed her
window from the hail damage last year.
