Marriage
saves big
on tuition
Associated Press
DENTON — It cost her $7 to wed
and will cost $51 to get a divorce, but
North Texas State University stu
dent still will save about $1,000 by
arrying to avoid paying out-of-
state tuition.
The marriage of convenience en-
itlesthe 22-year-old woman from a
lorthern state to pay just more than
$300 to complete her studies, com
pared with 11,300 if she had not
’married a Texas resident.
T The North Texas Daily student
newspaper told the story of the cou
ple, given the pseudonyms Kelly and
lamuel to protect their identities.
Kelly expected to graduate in De
ember but learned she lacked 18
lours to complete her degree.
" didn’t apply for a student loan
because 1 wasn’t planning on being
in school another semester,” Kelly
said. “By the time I found all this
mt, it was too late.”
Kelly and Samuel had been
riends for two or three years, she
said.
“One day he just offered to marry
me so I would be a legal Texas resi
dent," she said. “I thought he was
razy.
“But the more I thought about it,
the more sense it made.”
The couple were married late last
year by a Denton County justice of
the peace. They do not live together,
the North Texas Daily said, and they
intend to divorce once the time is
right.
Divorce papers through the uni
versity’s legal aid office cost just $51,
student legal adviser Robin Ramsey
said.
NTSU Registrar Joneel Harris
said she doesn’t believe many people
marry to avoid tuition. But if the
Legislature follows through with
raising out-of-state tuition, the
ticecould increase, she said.
University attorney Richard Rafes
said he believed the couple “bit off
more than they can chew.
“If it can be proved they tried to
willfully defraud the state of Texas,
we may have grounds to file criminal
charges against them,” Rafes said.
Kelly will graduate in May. Sam
uel said he enjoys being married
"and still being aole to play domi
noes with the guys four times a
week.”

Eustress
A&M prof studying effects of positive stress

prac-
The physiological effects of posi
tive stress from activities such as ski
ing, rappelling or rock climbing are
the topic of a study by a Texas A&M
professor.
Dr. Camille Bunting, assistant
professor of health and physical ed
ucation, is conducting a study titled
“The Influence of Aerobic Fitness
on Catacholamine Responses Dur
ing Eustress.”
Catacholamine responses involve
stress hormones such as epineph
rine.
Eustress is the exciting and invig
orating feeling one gets from posi
tive stress activities, Bunting said.
“A lot of people are getting into
outdoor adventure,” Bunting said,
"and these activities elicit eustress re
sponses.”
She said active
aware of the possit
live stress.
Volunteers working with the
study are classified as either type A
or B, Bunting said.
“The type A is the go-getter,
someone on the fast track, who actu
ally talks, walks and even drives
fast,” she said. “These people are al
ways in a hurry. The type B person
is relaxed, laid back ana easy-come,
easy-go.”
The study uses both subjects who
are physically fit (those who can run
a mile easily) and subjects who are
not. The only absolute qualification
for Bunting’s study is gender. All
: people need to be
sihle effects of posi-
subjects must be male.
Bunting said she limited the study
to a male control group to simplify
her research. Sometimes samples
can be taken easier from males, she
said, and including females would
add more variables.
Bunting’s five-step procedure be
gins with a treadmill stress test. The
subjects also are given a test to deter
mine their personality types. Bunt
ing said very few people are clearly
A or B.
The positive stress studied is cre
ated on A&M’s rope course. During
the test, subjects are double-har
nessed with a nationally-accepted
safety system and then they must
jump from a 17-foot pole and catch
a trapeze.
“With the jump we try to elicit an
exciting type of stress,” Bunting
said. “The subject needs to be afraid,
but after he completes the jump he
will feel good about himself. He will
have overcome his fears about it.”
During the test, Bunting said, the
subject’s heart rate is monitored and
blood samples are taken with an in
travenous catheter inserted into a
vein above the wrist.
Blood samples are taken twice be
fore the test, Bunting said. Before
the first sample, the subject rests for
20 minutes and is lying down. The
next sample, the anticipatory sam
ple, is done immediately before the
subject starts up the pole.
“The anticipatory sample should
show the catacholamine (stress hor
mone) level going up,” Bunting said.
Immediately after the pole jump,

another sample is taken. After that,
two more are taken at five-minute
intervals. While the samples are be
ing taken, the subject takes a 10-
question anxiety test.
“This test is designed to measure
the subject’s own perception of
what’s going on with his body,” Bun
ting said. “Some people have no per
ception of what’s going on.”
Bunting said a person should be
aware of his body’s reactions to learn
stress management and relaxation
techniques.
The profile also includes person
ality type and awareness level.
“At the end of the test they’ll
know how closely they can be aware
of what their boaies are doing physi
ologically as far as anxiety,” Bunting
said.
Bunting is still testing for subjects,
she said, and prefers men under 30
to35 years old. The study requires
eight low-fitness men and eight
high-fitness men.
Those subjects who complete the
entire test will receive $25, Bunting
said.
The volunteers who get involved
in the study are either interested in
discovering how they handle stress,
finding out their fitness level or los
ing weight, she said.
“We are not a weight-loss center,”
Bunting said.
The study is funded by the Texas
Engineering Experiment Station
and will continue throughout the se
mester, she said.
