Campus Update, November 14, 1984 Page 2 Escaping Stress By M. W. There are many methods college students use to escape the pressures which come with Obtaining a higher education. One of the most popular means of escaping, albeit short term, is through the use of alcohol. For some, liquor is used to temporarily forget a _ their worries. Two. major reasons liquor is ‘used are its availibility and familiarity. While attending college, one associates with a good number of legal age drinkers. The occurence of having someone ‘buy’ for minors is commonplace. While some students resort to drugs for a high, the majority stick with alcohol, because it is so accepted. Most have had some experience with alcohol prior to attending college, and re- gard it as relatively safe. They rely on the old “my. parents ee and they're okay“ syn- rome. ce contribute to the alcohol consumption of their ee even if they do not her expectations placed on former honor students can be tremendous.

The initial reason’ for drinking for many was to have a means of avoid- ing parental rule by rebelling. In feeling aroused via alcohol becomes a need after disap- pointment. Eventually, the excuses for drinking can reach both ends- of the scope. The scholar who once was only satisfied with _ A’s, now celebrates when a B is achieved. The excuses for ‘this means of escape can range from: “I got a B on my test, let's party!’ to “I just bombed a quiz, let's get wasted!” The college student who drinks is running the risk of not only forgetting his im- mediate problems SS ae to a roblem: he time mn could: be meen for studying to improve the low grades which the student can’t accept, is now spent on forget- ting, yet causing, his troubles.

Testing brand new legs of sun, Wobble, fall, walk, run. Where it dances on still snow, Trickling water soon will flow. Winter blanket, disappear! The new born Lamb of Spring is here! | | | | | \ | ( Slowly prancing through the wood. | Moment resting, could he? Should? Looking up form where he lie, ] Through forests window sees blue sky. | Their leaves are gone he wonders why? \ Then sleepy dreamer closes eye. | | | | | Winters Lion smells intruder. And sees his work of frost in ruin. _Reaching south with freezing:power, The beast will hunt, and find, devour! Soon snow covers wakend land, With just one breath of winters hand. The lamb is hidden out of sight, For snow and wool are both so white. Now the lions anger grows, He cannot see his tiny foe. Violently shaking trees, He finds the Lamb, he turns, he flees. A mighty Lion searched for the Lamb, But baby cub wakes angry Ram. Curved horns of Summer Hammer. Once ferocious Lion stammers. Retreating Winter tries to fight. Two gladeators day and night! Through ones window viewer sees. Caught in the battle are the trees. They are awakend in the storm And seem to yawn and streatch when warmed. Flexability returns, Beneath is found green floor of fern, Where grazing Ram will soon learn, What into cubs of autumn turn, Volunteer Center ~ Celebrates By Tracy Urban Belated birthday greetings to the Alpena Volunteer Center.
