Free Depression Screening to be Offered
Today is National Depression Screening Day. Counseling and Psychological Services and UNL's Employee Assistance Program are sponsoring free, confidential screenings for depression, manic-depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder in the Nebraska Union from 10am-4pm.
At the screening, visitors can fill out a self-test and talk with a counselor about their personal situation. Those who don't have a mood or anxiety disorder and are just going through a couple of bad days are also invited to come take advantage of the program and learn about what services are available on campus. Counselors will also be available to speak about the Signs of Suicide program, which can help one recognize the signs of suicide and what to do if you suspect someone is in danger of taking his or her own life.
Online screenings are available for UNL students in the areas of depression, manic depression, anxiety, eating disorders and alcohol use. If you feel like you may have a problem in one of these areas but are not sure, you can access the online screenings at
this link. Once the assessment is complete, you can schedule an appointment with one of the University Health Center professionals to go over the results and develop a treatment plan.

Romeo and Juliet to Open Theatre Season
UNL Theatre's University Theatre opens its 103rd season of productions with William Shakespeare's story of young love,
Romeo and Juliet. The production, directed by assistant professor Virginia Smith, will have performances at 7:30pm Oct. 9, 10, 11 and Oct. 15, 16, 17 and at 2pm. Oct. 19 in Howell Theatre located in the Temple Building.
Romeo and Juliet tells of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, who fall in love despite a long-held hatred between the two's families. Their forbidden love invokes a series of violent episodes between the two households.
Smith and her design team have infused the production with elements that provide a sense of the play's relevance to contemporary audiences, with the idea expressed in scenery, costumes and sound design as well. All combine elements of the Renaissance and contemporary society, Smith said, and the casting also provides a contemporary twist with women playing several men's roles.
The cast features all undergraduates and is headed by Chad Brown and Cecilia Stinner as Romeo and Juliet.
Tickets to all four plays in the season (excluding the spring production of
Guys and Dolls) will be on sale through Oct. 19 and are $42, $34 for faculty/staff and senior citizens. Tickets to individual productions are $14, $12 for faculty/staff and senior citizens, and $10 for students/youth. Groups of 20 or more may buy tickets at 50 percent of the regular price. Tickets are on sale through the Lied Center Box Office and one hour before performances in the designated theatre lobby. Call 472-4747 or (800) 432-3231.
