6The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, November 9. 1982 Langu By CINDY HAG A Slaff Writer "You know how you feel on Friday afternoons? Well, we feel the same way in French," said P.J. Lapaire-Kamenish, a French teaching assistant. That's one reason the Cafe au Petit Quebec, an informal French language club, meets from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. every Friday at Molly Maguire's: to get. rid of that week-long routine frustration (in French). i . t However, the main purpose! of the meeting is to give people a chance to prac- -tice speaking their French, said Gregory Jones, a senior French major who helped organize the group. The meeting, open to anyone who is willing to speak French, typically gets under way with only a few people pre sent. Early-comers lean back in their chairs and order beer, waiting for others to show up. As more people stroll in, they are greeted with bonjour, and an offer to take a seat and join the crowd. But this meeting is not organized as most are. As the group grows larger, peo ple split up into smaller groups of twos or fives, visitors drift in and out of the area, and conversations vary from casual talk about classes and social events to personal discussions or serious debates. "You can talk about things people nor mally talk about," said Brian McArthur, a political science major interested in working overseas. This is not what usually happens in language classes. Teachers often have so many students that they can't have one-to-one conversa tions with them, and most class time is spent discussing technical details of the language such as grammar and sentence structure. The casual bar atmosphere allows stu dents to converse freely in a foreign language, which they don't often have a chance to do, Jones said. "Here," Jones said, "you talk because you want to, not because the teacher makes you or because you have a prob lem." Some teachers believe the conversation clubs help to improve students' vocabu- Campus Calendar Compiled by Janet Olson Public service announcements must be turned into the box outride DTH offices in the Carolina Union by 1 p.m. if they are to run the next day.

What are some of the many different things which can cause, stress and anxiety? t A. Just dormitory life living in a dorm with many people in a confined area is enough to add stress to anyone's life. This, com bined with the stress from trying to balance a course load and a per sonal relationship, is often enough to push many people, over the edge. Drug-induced stress from excess caffeine in coffee, colas and aspirin , can lead to a feeling of stress and anxiousness. Many first-year students find themselves feelihg extremely stressful without really knowing why. This kind of stress is not any different than what is felt by anyone when they move to a new environ ment. Leaving home involves leav ing your support system consisting of family and friends.

"Being on the committee, I've had a chance to fed what the TAs are like conscientious, involved and not just doing a job," he said. But the image of the wise professor and the green TA still prevails. "I resent being called a TA I'm not hdping anybody," said Kelly, who is also 'a member of the Freshman Committee. "I think that the TAs overall teach better because they are young, idealistic and spend so much time on students' papers" Kelly said the English department has a very good system of monitoring teaching workshops, jeviews and a course are of fered within the. department in the theory of composition k c - But even"so'-CT factors may influence ' c: . . . fr.;;.-f -r?

Exercis ing will leave you feeling good about yourself, while at the same time relieving you of stresses, anxie ties and muscle tension. Take time each day just for yourself Taking a walk, meditating, or simply reclining in a comfortable chair, will leave you more relaxed, and better prepared ' to face any stressful situations which may pop up. By recognizing those situations which are stressful to you, you can learn to relax your body before the stress or anxiety builds up. Health Q. Where are some places on campus to get help in dealing with severe stress? A. Often stress is too much for a person to deal with on their own. If your stress . is caused mainly by academic problems, the Reading Center on campus might be of help. Nash Hall is another service which mainly works with career and per- s sonal counseling. Seniors who are having trouble coping with finding a . ' job often find the counseling to be immensely helpful. Mental Health at the Student Health Services pro . vides some counseling for severe cases of stress. Their stress manage ment groups meet each semester and explore the sources of your stress and work on setting realistic goals for yourself . Q. With the end of the semester and final exams coming up, what are some ways to avoid the stress associated with this period? A. The key to avoiding this stress is to start planning now. If you know you have so much work to get . done, worrying about it will hardly help.-By budgeting your time and getting something accomplished each day, you will feel like you are making some progress, and are like ly to fed less stressed. It is especially important during exam periods to eat right and con tinue exercising. The demands on your body are greater during this time so extra efforts to treat it right are important. While studying, take 4 a break every two hours to stretch, walk around and dear your mind. Also, try to plan something fun to do after a long day of studying and exams.

's : ' From page 1 1 what kind of teacher a freshmen gets. "It just depends on whether you luck up and get a good TA or not," said Chelly Wad- dell, a freshman taking English 2A this semester. ..'Tir.' "Well, presumably if you are in 2A, you know the basics," Waddell said. She .placed out of English 1 on the basis of her SAT score. 'If I would have taken the SAT again, I probably would have placed out of both," she said. "I would have been glad to place out but would have suffered later." "I often get comments from faculty teaching a junior and senior level course .with a student who doesn't write well and placed out," Lindeman said. "But often the student had no writing between his freshman and junior year and those skills atrophy fast." ' Placing out of a basic writing program on the basis of what is essentially a vocabulary test can only lead to further deterioration of those skills. WEEK OF NOV. 8-13 Volleyball vs .
