Well folks, here we are again. At Ease has
arrived in your Thursday Battalion just like we
promised.
Now you may be asking yourself why an
entertainment magazine has devoted an entire
issue to the subject of stress. We’re at the
beginning of the semester and just getting back
Things aren f t that bad — yet So what’s with all
this stress stuff anyway?
Well, the truth of the matter is that we at At
Ease have looked into your future. And what
we sa w was pretty scary. Sleepless nights,
foodless days, dateless weekends—all the
elements of a stress-filled environment We ’re

your best interests, we decided to try and
prepare you for the days to come. We’ve

wj, a lighter article on places to get away
m it all, and a brief explanation of what shess
u*n do to your body.
But being the honest individuals that we are,
announced a new hi Base regular feature— the
attention!! page. We asked for your
contributions (either pictures or written work)
but the response has been, shall we say, less

Look to your left Now isn't that a pretty
page? Wouldn’t you like to see your name in
print tight there on page 2 ofht Ease ? We set
that page aside for you the readers. And we
don’t mean to sound pushy. But if we don’t
hear from you in the very near future, we’re
going to have to do away with the attention!!
page and put something else there instead.

our readers. And, as always, we thank you for

Keeping Your Cool
With midterm exams still a comfortable distance away,
you may not be feeling stressed out yet. But chances are
sooner or later the pressure is going to get to you. At Ease
takes an in-depth look at student stress, and offers
suggestions that may help you to learn to deal with the
complex problems that college life can present.
The Great Escape
When you’re fed up and just can’t take it anymore, when
you absolutely have to get away from it all... take a
deep breath, pack your bags, and then come along with
At Ease for a tour of out-of-the-way places that may be
closer than you think.
Stress and the Student Body
If you’re beginning to identify with the pathetic guy in the
encyclopedia under the heading Stressus Corpus, then its
time to turn to page 11 of At Ease, for an informative
article on the physical effects of stress.
Album Review
T'lis week Karl scrutinizes the Police. Ironic, isn’t it.
Movie Review
“The Mission” is a powerful film set in the 18th Century
that explores the plight of the American Indians and the
Jesuit priests that risk their lives to defend them. Karl says
this one is definitely worth seeing.
