student
coitivc branch's power was derived from three
sources: its ability to mobilize student opinion
on a certain issue, the extent to which the ad
ministration allows the Student Government to
become involved in the decision-making pro
cess, and the student body president's full
voting membership on the University's Board of
Trustees.
As head of the executive branch and a full
voting member not only of the BOT but of the
Campus Governing Council and the Carolina
Union Board of Directors, Vandenbergh is one
of the most powerful students on campus.
"In some sense, 1 have more influence .than
the trustees," Vandenbergh said of his member
ship on the BOT. Being in closer contact with
students than the trustees are gives him a unique
voice on the board, he said.
Vandenbergh's cabinet of 18 consists of five
executive assistants and 13 committee chairper
sons. The assistants were chosen last spring. by
, Vandenbergh. "I filled the executive assistants
positions by searching for individuals on cam
pus who could help me select cabinet heads," he
said.
The executive assistants' role is coordinating
the efforts of all of the committee chairpersons,
as well as serving as Vandenbergh's adviser, he
said.' .
"I depend on my executive assistants most of
all." In addition to overseeing committees and
advising Vandenbergh, they also handle special
. functions such as serving as liaisons to various
organizations and assisting in cabinet selection,
he said.
Four of Vandenbergh's five executive
assistants are in charge of the 13 committees.

dealing with academics: the Educational Policy
committee. Academic Procedures and the
Academic Advising committee. Takahashi
supervises the three student services committees:
the Student Services, Liaison Service and the
Employment Service committees. University
services committees fall under Donald Beeson,
which include Scholarships and Student Stores,
Housing, Food Service and Health Affairs, as
well as State and National Affairs committees.
Executive assistant Melanie Wilson does not
oversee an executive committee, but is in charge
of participation and recruitment.
Committee heads were selected by the ex-
ecutive assistant and Vandenbergh using "ap
plications and advertising," Vandenbergh said.
Executive assistants had a lot of influence in
committee head selection because they work
closely with their assigned committees, he add
ed. Decision making generally occurs within the
. cabinet, Vandenbergh said.
"I think the real decisions get made generally
. between myself and the executive assistant and
committee head in charge of the area we are
discussing," he said. "Ultimately, the final
responsibility is mine." .
This process occurs "very informally," he
added, and varies from situation to situation.
Decisions may be made by committee , vote,
the committee head or by Vandenbergh himself,
Takahashi said. Executive assistants formally
meet once a week, as does the full cabinet.
Approximately 10 to 20 students serve on
each committee, and are chosen through ap
plications. All positions in the executive branch
are appointed, except for the student body
president, who is elected each spring. Student
Government workers are unpaid, except for the
student body president and the treasurer, who
receive a $1,600 scholarship and a $1,200
scholarship, respectively.

professional schools often contribute to stress
rather than teach students how to alleviate
stress.
Both the medical and dental schools at UNC
defend their programs, which they say address
problems of stress with classes, advisers and
other support systems.
Stuart Bondurant, dean of the medical
school, said the school was making every effort
to help students but some of the stress was to be
expected. "The stress comes from the nature of
being a physician," he said. "There is no ques
tion that the medical school setting contributes
to that stress and I'm sure the stress could be
reduced. We've been working on it for a long
time."
Nevertheless, medical school professors can
be just as demanding as dental school pro
fessors. Pfifferling said teachers sometimes ask
students the most difficult and obscure ques
tions. "Interns are embarrassed in front of their
peers and it's accepted as part of the process,"
he said.
Randy Hedgepeth, a fourth-year medical stu
dent, said he had seen incidents where he felt the
intern was getting harassed. Hedgepeth ex
plained that when a student is on call, he usually
is the last person to see the patient.
The intern must present the patient's case and
history to the attending" physician the next day.
There is no problem unless the patient comes
in late at night, Hedgepeth said. "It may be a
disease you've never seen before and you have
stress
impairment, Pfifferling hopes to help physicians
before they become impaired. He is teaching a
course at UNCs pharmacy school which ad
dresses the problems and would like to see more
discussion of the risks in the education process
so that students know what they are getting in
to. ' 'Most health professional schools are so busy
cramming in facts that students do not have
time to establish what their goals are," Pfiffer
ling said.
Consequently, many health professional are
disillusioned when they actually join the work
force. They are frustrated by the limits of their
profession, the business side or the paperwork,
he said.
Sometimes physicians and dentists go into
medicine for the wrong reasons . family
pressure, mistaken ideas of the job, a desire for
financial and social status and these healers
become unhappy when they find the job is not
as glamorous as they imagined. Because a physi
cian is trained to deny his feelings, he has
nowhere to turn when the pressure of the job
gets to him, Pfifferling said. He is reluctant to
turn to a psychiatrist because he thinks it would
hurt his career. The pattern of drug abuse often
shows up in doctors 45 years old and over, he
said. Certain types of physicians anesthe
siologists, general practitioners, orthopedic
surgeons and emergency room physicians
seem to be the most vulnerable to stress prob
lems, he said.
The impaired physician usually can hide his
problems from his patients, although co
workers often become involved in a "conspiracy
of silence" because they do not know how to
confront their associate.
"The last thing to go is their practice," said
Dr. Jeffrey Blum, who co-founded the center
with Pfifferling and is working in private prac
tice. "They use the drugs and alcohol to keep
practicing." The charade dpes not last forever.
The physician who is impaired will usually either
have an accident, make a major mistake in his
work or kill himself if he doesn't seek help,
Blum said.

to scramble around reading up on it and finding
out about the patient," he said.
Even when professors are not overly critical,
the classload is very demanding. Reinhold said
students in the first two years of medical and
dental school have to adjust to the much
tougher workload.
Pfifferling said that while professors spend
time on facts, they rarely tie all the facts
together to give students a realistic view of their
career. Students learn to deny their feelings
rather than face them, he said.
UNC students and administrators said there
were classes offered in both the dental and the
medical schools that were designed to help
students deal with their stresses and look at their
roles.
Pam Dockery, another fourth-year medical
student, said she felt UNCs medical school was
unique in its attempt to incorporate courses
which develop a physician's social side.- She
mentioned a course, Medicine and Society,
which was aimed at making the student aware
of social aspects of the physician's role.
The dental school offers courses on dealing
with stress as one of its course choices in Dental
Ecology, Hershey said. Hershey said he felt the
UNC dental school went further to look at the
issues of being a dentist than most schools.
"Dentistry is a very complex healing art,"
Hershey said. "You have a very stressful situa
tion built-in and that's the reason we have a
well-developed advising and support system."
From page 1
Through education, Pfifferling hopes i the
stigma will -be lessened so physicians will seek
help before they abuse drugs or alcohol.
Pfifferling said one solution would be a better
balance in health professional schools between
the social aspects of doctoring and the required
knowledge about the human body. .
"Professional training should prepare you
for a lifetime of coping, a lifetime of making
mistakes," he said.
Rutledge disagreed that discussing the
stressful areas of being a doctor in class sessions
would be beneficial.
"A lot of sitting around and discussing is not
the ideal situation," he said. "Go out and try to
take care of people. See if you have the per
sonality to accept the situation.".
. It is a question of whether the rewards of the
job surpass the stress involved, Rutledge said.
Having a patient die is probably the most .
stressful aspect of the job, he said. Residency
and internship programs are long for that very
reason, he said, so that an intern will perform
with a resident and an attending physician with
plenty of experience before he ever has to han
dle an operation alone.
Rutledge said practical experience, on rota
tions at the hospital while still in medical school
and time in residency, is the best test of whether
the person can handle the stress. Pfifferling
agrees, but added that professors needed to help
students process what they are learning as they
work.
Consciousness to work makes the difference,
Rutledge said. "You have to stay late, check
everything and admit when you need help," he
said. "Some of the best teachers are those who
have made mistakes."
Rutledge emphasized that being depressed at
times was an inevitable part of the job. "After
six days on call in the emergency room with peo- j
pie coming in who've been shot or in motorcycle
accidents, if you weren't depressed you'd be
crazy."
