Kris Brockmans, an area director in Ehringhaus Residence Hall who started the Wellness Floor, said she wanted to provide an alternative to regular dormitory life. “We are looking at students as a whole and are giving them every opportunity to be whole and healthy because living on a college campus and being a college student isn’t healthy,” she said. “In designing the program I wanted to prove that ‘Animal House’ is not a docu mentary.” UNC’s Wellness Program is distinctive from those at other universities, she said.

The Living Well program at UNC stresses more than just physical fitness. “It’s not just about eating and exercising right, but it’s about mental and emotional health and crime prevention,” said Lauren Lovelace, a freshman from Ramsey, N.J., who lives on the floor. The key to the program is a personally designed healthy lifestyle that is based on each person’s optimal wellness model. The program focuses not only onphysical health but also on the emotional, intellectual, spiritual, environmental and social aspects of health. All participants are required to sign a contract that says they will agree not to use illegal or illicit drugs, abuse prescription drugs, smoke or use smokeless tobacco or drink alcohol in the Wellness community. The contract also requires that students attend seven programs per semester and participate in one of the three committees: programming, social or outreach. ©ljp Baily <Har Ippl Asa result of the program’s guidelines, Brockmann said discipline problems and alcohol violations had decreased in the entire dormitory. “Of the 650 residents in the dorm, 80 have signed the nonuse contract, ” she said. “I think in people’s minds, they know that they have other choices than to drink. “If we don’t give an alternative, what can we expect for them but to drink?” The program began in the spring of 1991 with only 35 students. Participants now fill the whole floor except for three suites. Participation has increased 300 per cent since last year, Brockmann said. “We had to open up a whole other wing this year to do it,” she said. Next year, Wellness participants will take up the whole floor. One highlight of the program is the living-well room, which replaces the area composed of the small kitchen and two study rooms on other floors in Ehringhaus. The living-well room has a full kitchen with a large table and chairs, couches and armchairs and its own library ofliving-well books. Only those students who live on the floor have access to it with the use of their keys. Lovelace said she chose to live on the floor to get away from the drinking atmo sphere at college. “It really bothered me that in all the college books, drinking seemed to be the focus in every college,” she said. “I thought there could be more to college and I wanted to be around other people who felt the same way.” James Hammond, a freshman from Wilmington, also said he joined the floor to stay away from the pressures of drink ing. “I personally find things like alcohol and drugs distracting from more produc tive things. They are not necessary to be happy,” he said. Many residents say the Wellness Floor is a great place to live. “I really feel comfortable here. It is an extension of home, ” said Carrie Lovelace, Lauren Lovelace’s twin sister and one of the five Wellness Floor coordinators. “I am not forced to do things, and I don’t have to put an act on.” For the Record T uesday's article "APPLES Gives Volunteers Hands-On Learning" gave incorrect information on who to contact for more information. Interested students should call Lori Meadows or Mike Dilorio at 962-0902. The DTH regrets the error.
