Page 2 The Pendulum editorials •letters Thursday, October 21, 1982 Stress may he result of midterms Midterms are kind of like waiting in a doctor’s office to get a shot: it doesn’t hurt while you’re waiting, but when the time comes to bare all, the results can be painful. These tests come around each semester, regular as clockwork. Students know they should prepare for them ahead of time, but somehow a few always wait until the last minute. The situation always causes a lot of stress for some students. There are ways to deal with stress, psychologists say. They recommend exercise, talking the situation over with someone or dealing with the problem by doing things that don’t require a lot of menttd work, such as simple crafts or baking. Most people have to work the problem out for themselves because each person is different and deals with it in different ways. The important thing is to not let the stress get the best of you. The material is conquerable. While midterms may be painful for a while, like the doctor’s shot, they are over with quickly and can be forgotten about. But the stress of them may linger for a while. But it too will leave. And midterm week should not throw any student into a deep depression. There is the rest of the semester to build up any bad grades or make good grades even better. So relax a little. Midterms will be over soon. D ...PRE...TriEWa 61Y/N6 TdoSooN - -f* — SUB discontent with coverage of Marshall Crenshaw concert To the Editor: On behalf on the Student Union Board and myself, I would like to say that we are more than slightly offended by certain statements made in the Oct. 14 article entitled “Crenshaw Concert Pleases His Hard-Core Fans.” To begin with, the title itself indicates that only Marshall Cren shaw’s long-standing groupies enjoyed the concert. We feel that this viewpoint is in error. The “Elon grapevine” usually pro vides a fairly good idea of how a performance has been received and, despite the fact that there were more than 400 people at the show, we did not hear any complaints. The next point of aggravation occures in paragraph three, where the “objective” reporters intimate that the opening band P.P. Flyer bored the audience to sleep. This is certainly a mistaken impression, for the band was very well received by the audience throughout their performance. The fact that the audience thinned between acts and during Marshall Cren shaw’s act is indisputable and highly regrettable to everyone who was involved with the show. This letter is not meant to be taken strictly as a criticism of the Pendulum. Indeed, SUB appreciates the coverage we get in the paper, particularly since we feel that our programming adds to the overall college experience of Elon students. We are not all adverse to taking criticism either. We just feel that the statements made in the article in question were unwarranted mis representations of what actually occured.

Student pleased with newspaper To the Editor; I read in last week’s edition of the Pendulum that Christopher Fish was tired of the Pendulum complain ing and harping on various issues on campus.
