TV, games relieve stress for singles

Watching television is just one way single people relieve stress in everyday living, members of a singles group said last night in a forum titled "Stress and the Single Life."
Life as a single person can be tough, said Andrea Welborn, coordinator for the KU Adult Life Resource Center.
Welborn spoke about the problems of being alone to about 40 members of Heartland song Group at the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St.
Welborn asked the audience about the problems they encountered being训
Some members said that keeping their emotional level up was difficult. They said it was easy to feel down once they left their work.
"It is always easy for us to say what's the matter with us, but it's hard for us to say what's good." Welborn said.
She said that instead of always finding negatives, singles should look at the positives in their lives.
themselves by interacting with others.
Blanch Rombach, an original member of the five-year-old group, said it was great to have a group of all of ages to help with being plong.
Sharon Brehm, professor of psychology, said, "When you live alone, you don't have someone there to help you out, and that is stressful.
"Here, they don't look at you as a number but as a person," she said of the group members, many of whom are divorced or widowed.
"It's not always stressful to be single. It is very misleading to think of them as swinging singles or as being lonely. That is a small proportion."
Some members said watching television, playing games and doing crossword puzzles were helpful. But these activities are only temporary solutions.
Welborn said single people should recognize the symptoms of stress and find ways to relieve them.
"You have to start with something that works for a little while before trying something that will have a lasting effect." Welborn said.

The GradEx budget hearings are scheduled for April 7.
Michael Foubert, the executive coordinator, said that 20 to 25 organizations had requested more than 100,000 applications in 1988, compared to $15,000 last year.
GradEx received an average of more than $18,000 for student organizations for fiscal years 1988 and 1989.
GradEx's mean budget for fiscal year 1988-89 was reduced by $2,500 after Student Senate cut most budgets by 3.8 percent last week.
John Richards, GradEx executive co-coordinator, said at the meeting that associate vice chancellor
Richards said he had not heard comments from any other faculty or administrator.
George Woodyard had expressed concern about creating a graduate representative assembly.
"I've talked with some of my friends and they think it would be great for a graduate from the business school to get together with one from the law school. The graduate organizations are so separated," he said
Foubert also gave a report on the Graduate Student Executive meeting that he attended last weekend in Pullman, Wash.
He said that student representatives from 17 schools attended and discussed topics such as unionization, graduate student organizations and governments, and taxation of graduate teaching assistants' salaries.

What independent suspension does for your BMW, Kaepa does for your foot.
If you look at the photo closely, you'll see that the Kaepa shoe's upper is actually two independently moving parts. Each part is secured to your foot by a separate lace.
This solves the problem of conventional athletic shoes, which may fit perfectly when you're standing still, but distort when your foot flexes, pinching down at the top of your foot and bulging out at the heel.
When you move your foot, Kaepa's two parts move like a body joint, smoothly mimicking your foot's flexing action.
The result is quicker, easier, more precise footwork. And comfort that doesn't stop when you start moving.
Kaepa makes shoes for tennis, aerobics, fitness, and basketball.
So whatever your sport is, there's a Kaepa that'll give you a $30,000 ride.
