hy Sally Lemmon
The Salem College Swim team kicked off its season with its first meet
against Pfiffer on November 29. Salem lost 164 to 80, but overall experienced
a good meet and had a chance to see the strength of the team.

abruptly. Spring competition and practice will pick up in February with a

remaining scheduled meets are:
Feb. 15 Randolph Macon Womens Away
Feb. 20 Queens 5 p.m. Home

This is Salem's third year swimming and the team has increased in size
and overall ability. Co-captains for this year and Kristy Royal and Sally

Students See Evert at Her Best
hy Galen Miller
Martina Navratilova and
Chris Evert squared off at the
Charlotte "Coliseum on
Wednesday evening. A group of
Salem students travelled to
Charlotte to witness the farewell
tour for Chris Evert. This is the
last year that Evert will be a
part of the professional tennis
curcuit.
Chris Evert has been the
United States Women's Singles
Champion six times and has won
the Wimbledon Championship
:hree times.
Evert's athletic ability, poise,
and sportsmanship have been
admired since she joined the
circuit. Her presence will be
sorely missed and having her in
the area is certainly a once in a
life time opportunity.

Heather’s Health Tips
Stress Management 101
by Heather Glasscock
My friends and I have all c»me to the conclusion that this is by far the most stressful
time of the entire year, so it wasn't hard for me to decide on a topic for this issue.
Whether your stress is the result of upcoming exams, papers, or projects, or of a more
personal nature like the guy at Wake Forest who never calls when he's supposed to or
your friends are all taking out their stress on you, the effects of stress are all the same.
You begin to feel worried, your face breaks out, your muscles are tense, you start to eat
cookies-n-cream ice cream 5 times a day, you're always tired, and just this morning
you woke up sneezing and coughing!
While exercise is one of the best ways to attack stress and get your mind off your
troubles, there are several other methods that are just as helpful at relieving stress.
My roommate’s relaxation method is to lie on her back on the floor, stare at the ceiling
and listen to classical music or some other instrumental music for about 15 to 30
minutes. My favorite stress-buster is to flip through magazines, anything from
Cosmopolitan (some of the articles are hysterical) to European Travel & Leisure. I
rarely ever read all the articles, but it takes my mind off of my problems; moreover,
when I'm finished my problems don't seem nearly as impossible as they once were. I
also have friends who find babysitting a great way to relieve stress. Not only will you
get off campus, but you will be able to take your mind off your stress by reading the
latest adventures of Curious George or playing Nintendo, and you will be getting paid,
too!
Whatever you do to release stress, it is important to remember that you clear your
thoughts completely. Worrying all the way through your walk will negate its calming
effects; in fact, you will feel even more stressed because you won’t feel relaxed after
having spent 30 precious minutes walking and thinking that you could have been
doing that paper! Therefore, it is important that you -step away from whatever is
stressful to regain a sense of control. Try to make relaxation a regular habit. Take the
time to listen to music, read the paper, take a long, hot shower, braid everyone's hair
on the hall, or walk for 30 minutes each day. 1 promise you will feel so much better —
so will everyone else around you!
