  • Volume 56 Number 14 Features The Western Carolinian Page 7 Thursday, November 29. 1990 Burnout relief Chris Gunn Contributing Writer Can you say "Burnout"? Sure, I knew you could. If you were fortunate enough to have survived midterm exams and all the stress that comes with preparing for tests, writing papers, running programs, conducting labs, and completing projects, well, you are almost there. "There" for many students is burnout. Burnout is the not-so complex physical and mental condition that is a result of cumulative stress. And about this time of the semester, many students - having endured academic, social, personal, athletic, financial, relationship pressures that are part of the college experience - suffer from symptoms of burnout. Maybe a few of the following symptoms are yours: 1. Feelings of fatigue and exhaustion, even after a night's sleep. 2. No motivation to study, write, research, or do much else other than watch Wheel of Fortune, Arsenio Hall, or Monday Night Football. 3. More irritable than usual with friends, family, even the campus dog. 4. Headaches, backaches, colds, and coughs. 5. Serious doubts about being at Western, about your major, about the socio-political structure of this country, even about the Meaning of Life. What to do? Well, there are no quick cures, but there are numerous helpful things you can do to relieve some of the stress and to rebuild yourself for the next round of stressors. Identifying yourself as a sufferer of burnout is the first step to relief. Recognizing yourcurrent condition as a stress reaction, one that is shared by countless others in similar situations, is an essential part of continuing to see yourself as "normal" and to generating a "To Do List" with specific steps that you can take to help yourself. In making your unique list, consider the following areas: 1. Time Management. Planning out an hourly schedule for classes, studies, meals, sleep, exercise, socials, miscellany, and spontaneity can help with problems of procrastination and priorities. 2. Nutrition. Stress takes its toll on the body and it's essential to eat properly to maintain strength. 3. Exercise. If you exercise regularly, it's important to continue doing so during times of stress. Stress- related energy is often worked out through physical exercise. 4. Sleep and relaxation. A good night's sleep and various relaxation exercises can recharge the body and mind. 5. Rewards. Ideally, every day should contain some pleasure. Setting up time with friends, TV vegetation, non- academic reading, food treats, a movie, long-distance calls to caring people, et cetera, can all be given to yourself as gifts. And why not? Getting through suessful times and events is no easy job; payoffs need to be felt and enjoyed. Burnout can make even Mr. Roger's Neighborhood look pretty bleak. If you would like some help beyond the brief suggestions above, give us a call at the Counseling Center, 114 Scott, 227-7469. #% LAST MINUTE PRODUCTIONS .$ PRESENTS • • END Of THE YEAR EVENTS!! Auditions held for " 110 in the Shade" Auditions for the broadway musical-comedy 110 In The Shade, : by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt will be held on December 6th and 7th from 6:00 until 10:00 p.m., in Hoey Auditorium. There are over 30 roles for all types and ages of performers. There are a number of roles for both children and adults. All singers, dancers and actors are encouraged to audition. Performers who are only dancers or actors or singers must attend all phases of the audition. However, selection to the company will be based on the level of expertise in their primary skill. The production will be directed by Dr. Stephen M. Ayers. Rehearsals will begin in early January, 1991 with major characters off- book. Those interested need to prepare the following: • A 45 second memorized monologue. The best monologue would be a speech from a play written since 1940. It would also be in the performer's best interest to choose their monologue from a role that he or she could possibly play. • At least sixteen bars of both a ballad and an up-tempo contemporary song. Again, "contemporary" refers to something written since 1940. An accompanist will be provided. All singers will be expected to bring their own sheet music, in the proper key, to the audition. • All performers will be expected to go through the dance audition. Come dressed properly and be prepared to dance. The artistic staff for the production is as follows: • Libby Trull - Choreographer • Dr. Temple Smith - Musical Director • Dr. Richard Beam - Scenic Design • Susan Brown-Straus" - Costume Design • Dr. Mary Kay Bauer - Vocal Coach • Dr. Robert Holquist - Conductor Performances will be on February 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 23rd at 7:30 p.m. in Hoey Auditorium.
