Is your relationship in need of
a U-tum?
Do you sometimes wonder
\vhy you are with your boyfriend
or girlfriend?
Has your relationship gone

Do you argue constantly?

These are questions many
people ask themselves daily.
On Monday, Nov. 13, Dr.
Preston Smith spoke about long
term relationships and keeping
them alive. Dr. Smith mentioned
three important values necessary
for a healthy relationship. These
include communication, intimacy,
and the positive forces between
two people.

“I’m Not Rappaport” is a story
of two 80-year-old men who

world from a bench in Central

The play was an all-student
production. Sophomore Larry
Fellows played the retired char
acter and storyteller Nat Moyer,
and first-year student Judson
Fraley played Midge Carter, a su-
per for an apartment building.
Junior Alii Dore played Clara,
ati's daughter; sophomore Lori
rench played the character Lori
Douglas.

sus Bureau.
The growth-stunted rapper
tasted his first bit of success on
Kid Rock’s multi-platinum 1998
release, “Devil Without a Cause.”
Joe C. s three-foot, nine-inch size
and stage presence immediately
made him a crowd favorite, par
ticularly when wearing an “I’m
not a f***ing midget” shirt at
Woodstock ’99.
Calleja also adds to his list of
credits guest appearances on The
Simpsons, and a song on the
South Park: Bigger, Longer, and
Uncut soundtrack.
Band mates and friends will
miss Calleja who is survived by
his parents and older sister.
“Family and friends are every
thing; without them, all of the
fame and fortune means nothing,”
said an emotional Kid Rock in
- his prepared public speech.
Joe C. s condition required
daily dialysis and 65 pills. Symp
toms of Celiac Disease can in
clude diarrhea, malnutrition, and

suitable treatment of Celiac Dis

strict 100 percent gluten-free diet.

any relationship, whether it is with
a girlfriend, boyfriend, professor,
or parent. Without communica
tion, two people are forced to
mind-read and guess how the
other feels.
Intimacy means being in touch
with each other’s emotions and
keeping the bond healthy. Ac
cording to Dr. Smith, couples
fight when the intimacy level is
high and the bond is strong.
Naturally, couples get scared
of the closeness and have to do
something to break the bond. This
results in an unnecessary argu
ment.
The positive forces between a
couple means the chemistry that
attracted them to one another.
Some couples forget what at
tracted them to the f>erson in the
first place. WTien this occurs a
couple tends to focus on the nega
tive. At this point, the relation
ship becomes dull and boring.
Communication, intimacy, and
positive forces mean nothing
when the love is lost.
To keep any long-term rela
tionship alive, Dr. Smith said, one
must remember where the tingly
feeling in their stomach came
from, the laughs, the memories,
and most of all the love they have
for one another. That is the an
swer to keeping a relationship
alive!
