Holiday Gift Guide '91The Daily Tar HeelMonday, December 9, 19913 Review of O'Keeffe's work off-base The Associated Press At the turn of the century, 1 2-year-old Georgia O'Keeffe decided on a Sun Prairie, Wis., farm to become a painter. Sixteen years later, Alfred Stieglitz had O'Keeffe's first exhibit in his gallery, 291. What struck him about her work was that it clearly had not been influenced by known traditions. She was an origi nal not influenced by fellow artists, as Sarah Whitaker Peters suggests in her new book, "Becoming O'Keeffe: Relief technique here is to tell them to get to work. "And there's the person who puts absolutely everything into getting good grades, so they feel stressed. They need to widen their activities a bit and be social. They need to spend some time with friends." Martin's overall message to students faced with stress at exam time is to look for balance. "Look for releases during exams," he said. "Try and maintain some kind of balance, even if you have a lot to do." At the Wellness Resource Center, students can talk about their problems with trained graduate students, who volunteer two hours each week. "We call it peer health consulting," Holliman said. "The grad students may relate to people with problems. It's like, 'I know where you're coming from.'" Holliman said it was important to recognize the signs and symptoms of stress. These include headaches, insom nia, backaches, nausea, depression and irritability. "Exercise is important in stressful times," Holliman said. "Exercise is a Stress stress. Trei Primm, a freshman math educa tion major from Mebane, is an example. "What do I do to avoid stress? Ignore it," Primm said. In his list of stressful things, Primm mentioned: "8 a.m. classes, tight under wear, cafeteria food, lousy teachers, AIDS, high bricks in the sidewalk and constipation." Maricia Moye, a sophomore journal ism major from Edenton, also said she thought stress was overrated. She said people shouldn't get so stressed out. "Life sucks, then you die; so chill out." Parents will be interested to know that students listed family relationships as something they often stress about. Intimate relationships, along with money and the future, are things that plague the minds of students. Some other suggestions to cope are: eat, drink and sleep. O V u A O Phi m A c. o c, ,"i The Early Years." In a 1976 interview, O'Keeffe said: "It's as if my mind creates shapes that I don't know about. I get this shape in my head, and sometimes I know where it comes from, and sometimes I don't." Rather than study whether Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Charles Scheeler or Paul Strand influenced O'Keeffe with their photography, why not look into how O'Keeffe managed to see things in her unique way? In "Becoming O'Keeffe: The Early from page 1 stressor to the body that gets the body used to meeting a high demand of stress. It's a tension reliever." In addition to one-on-one conversa tions between counselors and students, the University Counseling Center and Wellness Resource Center use group presentations and workshops in resi dence halls and fraternity houses to help students. "Another thing in the line of stress is improving study skills and time man agement," Martin said. "We offer work shops in these areas. We like to do individual work and group work." Holliman said, "We have programs on good nutrition, exercise and mas sage for stress management." She added that students should do something about the things that stress them, whether those stresses are aca demics, social relationships or money. "You can ignore it and hope it will go away, but that's not always healthy," Holliman said. "You've got to do something about it. Change the situation, or change your attitude (to the stressor). That may change your reaction to it." from page 1 So, while you're studying for that exam after procrastinating, get out the chips, turn up the music and ... chill. Nathan Johnson, a sophomore psy chology major from Winston-Salem, summed it up: "Relax. Life is too short to stress out." SKYL&JT EXChJAnQir BOOKS CD'S LP'S 405 12 W. ROSEMARY ST. 933-5550 Years," Peters fails to go back far enough. The early years she discusses are adulthood, ranging from 1915, when she was 27, into the 1 930s and later. She never gets into O'Keeffe's formative years. InO'Keeffe'sown 1976 book, "Geor gia O'Keeffe," the artist begins with a discussion of her earliest memories, in cluding one before she could walk. She describes, still vividly 88 years later, the brightness of light, pillows all around, and her Aunt Winnie's"goldish hair done high on top of her head a big twist of blond hair and lots of curly See O'KEEFFE, page 8 O Gift Certificates ffiBubbaBear AngelTree Gift Wrapping) Wftrtifflfrifl?i Business ind advertising: Kevin Schwartz, directorgeneral manager; Bob Bates, advertising drector; Leslie Humphrey, classified ad manager; Allison Ashworth, business manager.
