Editor’s experience
personally enriching

I have this nasty penchant for
cleaning things when I get upset.

Ever since childhood, I have
found an awkwardly refreshing
comfort in being tidy in the midst
of emotional chaos.

I don't know, maybe I'm just at
Icon. Anyhow, this Kentucky Ker-
nel production year has provided
me with plenty of opportunities to
spnrcc up my office, straighten my
editors' personal belongings and
arrange books on the office book-
shelf.

It‘s not that I particularly enjoy
doing these things. It just does
something for me.

There were times when I
thought being editor in chief of the
Kentucky Kernel had driven me
crazy.

Hell. there were times when I
was almost certain of it.

Not that the job isa bad one. On
the contrary, working here has
been one of my most valuable ex.
periences.

In some important ways, this
year has forced me to grow up (al-
though I still weigh 20 pounds and

can’t grow a decent beard.) Here’s

how.

December introduced me to my
conscience. After two and a half
months of agonizing. I decided to
tell 20,000 people about two irre-
sponsible sexual encounters I had
over the summer, which led me to
get an HIV test.

The test came back negative, as
was the result of two subsequent
screenings.

That was the easy part. What
challenged me most during this pe-
riod was the awareness that I had
put other people in danger by not

being tested sooner.

But, as I explained in my Dec. 1
column, I hadn’t given myself
complete control over my sexual
behavior.

I allowed myself to get involved
intimately to compensate for an
overall lack of fulfillment.

I would have done anything to
be close to someone, even with-
hold valuable information about
my sexual past.

Being tested. and being ques-
tioned about my sexual activity
during a pie-test counseling ses.
sion. forced me to acknowledge
my negligence. The pain of that
first visit to the HIV-testing site
sends chills across my skin even
today.

February introduced me to my
childhood. For Black History
Month, I decided to approach race
relations from a conternporsry per-
spective, examining my own race-
related experiences growing up in
smalHown USA.

To begin the series of four es-
says, I discussed perhaps the most
deeply embedded memory availa-
bletome,theshamelfcltasa
childfor being black.

This low sense of racial worth
manifested itself in several ways.
The most hurtful of which in-
volved my attempt to scrub away
thedarknessinmyskinwithall
sorts of home-male concoctions
— alcohol, peroxide, soapy water.
etc. mixed in various combina-

tions.

My recollection of this self-
effacing behavior stirred in me an
emotional tempest so fierce that I
strongly considered not including
it in the essay.

The reason for my apprehension,
which made itself known to me
days after completing the series,
bothered me even more: I still ex-
perience a soft-toned disappoint-
ment sometimes. as I look at my-
self in the mirror.

I didn't know whether to be
shocked or sullen about this aware-
ness.

So I decided not to feel anything
and just learn from it, use my pain,
shame or whatever it is to develop
theories about the black experience
as I grow older.

By accepting this part of my sub-
conscious, I inadvertently had
made myself stronger.

In dealing with the truth, I had
lifted it from my shoulders, had be-
come a little freer.

“Freedom" appears in most
everythinglwrite.’Ihetermcanbe
used in so many contexts that it has
no primary definition. When I use
the term, I do so cautiously and de-
liberately.

In spite of what most people
think of when they considu' free-
dom, the concept actually begs for
restraint.

I‘m not so sure most Americans
re equipped to handle the kind of
liberty they wish for in rhetoric.
'Iheir preoccupation tends to be
with material freedom; my focus is
me spiritual in nature.

I believe the statement, “It's all
in your head," has real merit in our
society and should be taken more
seriously.

We have great power as individ-
uals, yet we live as slaves to the
rhythms of dogma.

Counselor’s Corner

 

Dear Counselor,

My first year at the University
was very productive. i got a 3.75
grade-point average, joined a so
rority, made the track team,
worked part-time at a research cen-
ter and became engaged to a terrif-
ic guy. i also had headaches,
couldn't sleep, lost my appetite
and felt tense and nervous most of
the time.

My family doctor said my health
was just fine, but i was stressed
and needed some time for “plain
old relaxation" every day. Good
student that i am, i went to the
bookstore to find books on “plain
old relaxation" and there weren‘t
any.

Any suggestions for what I
might try? it needs to be simple; 1
don‘t have time to learn something
complicated.

Maria

Undecided Sophomore

Dear Maia:

Stress seems to be a complicat-
ing factor in busy lives today and
unfortunately there are no uncom-
plicated answers. Sometimes ma-
jor stressas like death. divorce or
disease will bowl us over. Other
tithes stress is more subtle — the
minor irritation of waiting in a
long line, missing an important
phone call or getting two points
lower on an exam than you eapettt-
ed.

Still other times stress results
from a seemingly positive situa-
tion — an emotion packed holiday
reunion, in perhaps the anticipa-
tion of an important athletic event.

 

 

JAMES CERF/Kernel Sill

 

Because many stressful situa-
tions can’t be avoided (or because
we might choose to participate
anyway), it’s best to learn to deal
with them constructively and,
thus. reduce the negative impact
on health and well-being.

“Plain old relaxation" is one
such way to do this. First, I'd
check back with your doctor to
see if he had anything specific in
mind. if not, here are three simple
relaxation techniques that can be
effective for most people who use
them regularly:

Progressive deep muscle relax-
ation — Developed by Dr. Ed-
mund Jacobson, this technique
can quickly release accumulated
tension so you feel more relaxed.
The theory is that once you‘ve felt
muscle tension, you can more eas-
ily feel muscle relaxation. Here‘s
how to do it:

~Sit in a chair and close your
eyes. Rest your forearms on the
amts of the chair, palms down-
ward.

~Take a few slow. deep breaths.
Concentrate on whatever muscle
tension you may be feeling, but do
nothing about it.

'Command yourself to tense
and tighten a muscle group for
five seconds then tell yourself to
relax and let the tension dissolve
for 30 seconds. Follow this se-

 

quence.

—Bend both arms at the elbows
and wrists. Make a list with each
hand. Relax.

—Press your back against the
chair. Relax.

—‘nghten your abdomen. Re-

lax.

—Lift and extend your lower
legs. Relax.

—Tighten your jaw. Relax.

—Squint your eyes. Relax.

—Tuck your chin against your
chest. Relax.

-At the end of the exercise, be
sure to suggest that when you
open your eyes you will feel re-
freshed, relaxed and alert -— then
get up, stretch and go back to
your regular activities.

Meditative suggestion —- Us-
ing only the power of suggestion
(no physical movement), you can
teach your body and mind to re-
spond quickly to your own com-
mands to relax. Originally devel-
oped as “autogenic training" to
reduce the tension of chronic
headache sufferers, meditative
suggestion is helpful for general
relaxation as well.

Simply speaking, you will give
yourself a series of verbal sug-
gestions geared to induce feel-
ings of either “heaviness" or
“warmth."

Heaviness suggestions pro-
mote muscle relaxation; warmth

suggestions relax blood vessels,
triggering sensations of warmth.
Together, the two sensations pro-
mote overall relaxation. Here‘s
how to do it:

'Choose a quiet environment
without distractions. Dim the
lights. sit in a comfortable chair
and close your eyes.

°Start with your right arm (if
you‘re right-handed) or your left
arm (if you‘re left-handed), and
quietly give yourself these sugges-
tions:

—My arm is heavy. (Repeat
three times for each arm.)

——My leg is heavy. (Repeat
three times for each leg.)

—Both my arms and legs feel
heavy. (Repeat three times.)

It might help to visualize small
weights attached to your arms and
legs.

-Follow the same sequence for
the warmth commands:

—My arm is warm. (Repeat
three times for each arm.)

-—My leg is warm. (Repeat three
times for each leg.)

——Both my arms and legs feel
warm. (Repeat three times.)

It might help to imagine your
arms and legs submerged in warm
bath water or basking in sunlight.

oTo complete the exercise, take
a deep breath and say, “My heart-
beat is calm." (Repeat three times.)

Then, “I am calm." Again, give
yourself the suggestion that you
will arise refreshed and alert ——
and go back to your regular ac-
tivities.

The relaxation response

As you become more stressed,
your breathing becomes shal-
lower and more erratic, thus
transporting less oxygen to your
body at a time when you need it
most. Here you will focus only
on your breathing (instead of
your tension) and find it imme-
diately relaxing. Dr. Herbert
Benson at Harvard Medical
School developed this tech-
nique:

'Sit in a comfortable position.
Close your eyes and relax your
muscles.

-Focus on your breathing.
Breathe slowly and naturally.

-Select a word such as the
number one. Repeat it silently
or see it in your mind’s eye each
time you exhale. (When outside
thoughts intrude, disregard them
and return to the word you’ve
selected. Maintain a passive, re-
laxed attitude about any inter-
ruptions.)

Continue for a set period of
time —— 10 to 20 minutes.

oPractice the technique twice
daily.

Don’t let week
go on sour note

I have a friend who pops in from
time to time, but it‘s been a few
years since I've seen him. He
joined the Navy after college, spe-
cializing in explosives. The last
time I saw him, we talked about
his job. I thought he was crazy.

You see, my friend can‘t make a
mistake on his job. If he does.
chances are he won't live to talk
about it. I thought to myself, how
can anybody deal with that kind of
pressure? What would it be like if
your life depended on such preci-
sion?

Now. I'm working on finishing
my spring semester at UK. Finals
are this week. and the tension is
mounting. The sun is shining, the
birds are singing and l have a
touch of spring fever.

My mind drifts from place to
place. I think about sitting in the
sun at the beach, cooling off with a
quick dive into the ocean — per-
haps slugging it out on the tennis
court with my friends. I can see
the big blue sky of the Midwest
contrasting with the brown pla-
teau-topped mountains and green
grass of the prairie.

 
 
  

James Forbush
Photography editor

   

Wait a minute. 1 need to get
back to reality. There is only one
week left in the spring semester. I
can't it away by daydreaming.

There are alternatives which al-
low for both studies and pleasure.

You can find a nice quite place
outside, spread a blanket, pack a
few snacks and your books and
study —- maybe go to a local cof-
fee shop or restaurant with large
windows where you can catch a
few rays from the sun.

Next week each of us will have
an opportunity to defuse our own
package. Ours will not come with
wires and explosives, but with
paper and pencil.

Remember. a big chunk of the
semester rides on this finals week..
You won‘t die if you make a mis-
take, but chances are you may live
to regret it.

bush is an an studio junior and a

Final countdown can test nerves, too

It‘s time for finals, and the fear
of low grades probably is causing
high stress for many students.

Greg Strouse, a learning skills
instructor at the UK Counseling
Center, has some ideas that may
help.

The first thing Strouse suggests
students do is write down every-
thing they need to accomplish to
be ready for finals. Make a list of
every class and the specific things
that have to be done for each. It‘s a
good idea, Strouse said, to have
your objectives written down
where you can see them.

After making your list, you nwd
to organize it. Strouse said a good
way to do this would be to make a
time frame schedule on a calendar
system. On your schedule, you
should list everything you nwd to

do and plan your study time
around it.

It is important to be realistic and
realize what you can complete in
the time you have available, he
said.

Strouse said there are several
things to consider when schedul-
ing study time.

You should break up your stud-
ying over the day. Plan for two or
three one-hour study sessions in-
stead of a two- or three- hour
study marathon.

Research has shown that using
this strategy can double or triple
your ability to recall facts, he said.

Another important thing to con-
sider is scheduling some time for
recreation. Get away from study-
ing by taking a walk or watching a
favorite television show.

“You may think you are wast-
ing your time, but you can get
burned out if you do not take a
break." Strouse said.

One thing you will want to
avoid is studying all night. Low
energy levels can cause memory
mix-up and make tests more diffi-
cult.

A student going without sleep
for 24 hours also is taking risks
with his health, Strouse said.

A helpful strategy for some stu-
dents may be to get a study part-
ner or group for each class. Meet
with this group at lease once and
compare notes and study methods.

Finally, if you are having prob-
lems in a particular class, you
should seek help. See your in-
structor during office hours or
meet with a tutor.

Strouse said most academic de-
partments have a list of tutors that
work for pay. Also, the Student
Government Association offers a
free tutuon’ng service for students.

ter is located in 301 F razee Hall..
