Relieving
the
'Beat the Hell
Outta Stress Day'
features exhibits,
booths and programs
to help students
soothe their nerves
Mond;
By Travis Irby
Staff writer
S tress is about as common to college life as
fleas are to a dog: it cannot totally be elimi
nated, but it can be controlled.
The Student Counseling Service is taking a
day to give A&M students a chance to control and
manage their stress with “Beat the Hell Outta
Stress Day.
The program will be held today in the Memor
ial Student Center and at Rudder Fountain.
Dr. Andy Smith, head of the Student Counsel
ing Service (SCS), said the program is designed
to help students deal with stress before it be
comes a problem.
“We envision it as a way to introduce students
to methods of managing stress,” Smith said.
“Stress can end up just making a mess of things
if not dealt with properly.”
Christina Diecidue, an SCS psychology in
tern, has helped organize “Beat the Hell Outta
Stress Day.”
“We’ve wanted to do something like this for a
while,” Diecidue said. “It will help us introduce
the SCS to the student body and it will help with
managing stress.”
“Beat the Hell Outta Stress Day” consists of
three parts.
Booths and exhibits, open from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m., are set up to inform students about stress
and the ways to relieve it.
Exhibits demonstrating stress management
include a biofeedback machine, relaxation train
ing, massage therapy, music, humor and pets.
Smith said the booths and exhibits give a kind
of carnival atmosphere to the event.
“The exhibits will be fun and interactive, with
something to offer,” Smith said.
One of the more interesting exhibits being of
fered during “Beat the Hell Outta Stress Day” are
the Graffiti Boards.
The boards will allow students to get stress off
their chest, by writing it out on a board.
Cynthia Quick, a SCS psychology intern said
she is looking forward to seeing the graffiti
boards in action.
“It’ll be a great chance to let stuff out,” Quick
said. “I just hope everyone keeps it reasonable.”
In addition to the exhibits, the SCS is supply
ing stress balls, and the Austin School of Massage
Therapy is providing free massages.
Diecidue said the massage therapy should be
one of the more popular items.
“I think everyone will want to take advantage
of it,” Diecidue said.
The yell leaders will be participating in a se
ries of stress reducing yells starting at 12:15 p.m.
at Rudder Fountain.
The second part of the day’s festivities will in
clude a series of workshops held in the MSC from

Some of the workshops, such as “How to Manage
Your Stress” will run every hour.
Smith said “How to Manage Your Stress," isthf
workshop to attend if you can only attend one.
“It will offer an overview of a variety ofwaysic
reduce stress in students’ lives,” Smith said. “How
ever, all the workshops are worth attending.’
The third part of “Beat tire Hell Outta Stress Dav' 1
will be tine anxiety disorders screening program.
The program will start with free anxiety dis
orders screenings and end with a presentatior
on the disorders.
Dr. Ted Stachowiak, Associate Director of
SCS, said the anxiety disorders screenings are
one of the most beneficial aspects of the day.
“We can help students diagnose a possl
anxiety disorder and put them in the right direi
tion to seek help,” Stachowiak said.
Diecidue said such disorders are moreprew
lent than students might think.
“A bad experience with grades or a relate
ship can bring on anxiety about such
Diecidue said.
Stachowiak said an anxiety disorder canbf
hereditary or learned, but either way it need CTURE PEf

to be dealt with.

The workshops will cover a variety of subjects
ranging from nutrition to relationships.
The workshops will offer students ways to re
lieve stress and avoid stressful situations.
Diecidue said the hour-long workshops will
not be in the typical, classroom style.
“It won’t be just someone sitting there talking
at you,” Diecidue said. “The experience will be
interactive and try to get people involved.”
“A person can have a natural tendencyra
wards it, and an event will occur bringing it toth
surface,” Stachowiak said. “The most impoi
thing is recognizing it.”
Both Diecidue and Stachowiak said stuc
can do a lot to deal with anxiety.
“One of the things we will be covering isth
ways a person can deal with stress by i
selves,” Diecidue said.
“If one can correct certain behaviors, itcai
go a long way to helping relieve anxiety,”Sta
chowiak said.
Students are encouraged to enjoy the dayara
take advantage of all the programs available.
“We have some great programs going on’
Smith said, “I think any [one] who attends,wil
come away glad they did.”
