UNL students to publish
new magazine Sagebrush

Next semester will see the publication of
a new UNL magazine, Sagebrush. It is being
published with the help of the Orin
Stepanek Memorial Fund.
Franz Blaha, faculty adviser for the
magazine, said its main purpose was to
provide an outlet for creative students.
Noting that "it is extremely '-.drd to get
work published, especially for students," he
said he felt this magazine would satisfy that
need.

Earlier efforts at this type of magazine
consistently have run into financial
difficulties and have been discontinued. Tin
Roof Blues and Script were two such efforts.
Blaha said he hopes his advising can be
restricted to the monetary aspect of the
magazine, which includes only the memorial
fund and any private contributions.
When asked whether there weren't
already enough magazines on campus, such
as Saltillo and Prairie Schooner, Blaha said
that "none of these are put out by
students." He said he didn't feel there would
be much difficulty soliciting material,
because "there are enough students writing
things that are worth publishing."
Sagebrush initially will be published once
a semester; if successful, it may come out
more often. Each issue will contain both
poetry and short stories. Blaha said he hopes
to acquire a mailbox in Andrews 227 and
one in the Nebraska Union for students to
submit their work.
Ideally each piece, if not published, will
be returned with a critical analysis and
suggestions on how to improve the work,
Blaha said. This will make the process a
learning experience for the writer and not
"another rejection slip."
The editorial board now includes Tom
Hafemeister, Randy Eickhoff and Bruce
Nelson. When completed, there will be one
or two more people on the board.
The price will be 50 cents "because we
want to reach as many students as possible,"
Blaha said.
Students are taught relaxation
methods, how to handle stress
It isn't very often that 50
college students take
everything they are told lying
down.
However, 50 students
proved an exception
Wednesday night as Norma
Griffin led them in a series of
relaxation techniques for
coping with stress.
Griffin, an instructor in the
Women's Physical Education
Dept, and Richard Dienstbier,
professor of psychology
discussed "Stress and the
College Student" at a program
sponsored by the Abel-Sandoz
dormitory health aides.
GriHin defined two types
of relaxation activity.
One involves "any type of
vigorous physical activity you
do on a regular basis,
constituting a change of pace,"
she said.
The second type of
relaxation was activity that
resulted in a "reduction of
tension in the muscles and in
the mind through controlling
those parts of the body.
She said the best position in
which a person can learn to
relax was to lie flat on the back
without touching another
person. Fewer sense receivers
are located on the back, so less
stimuli is going to the brain
and distracting the person, she
said.
Gesturing to one
intertwined couple in the
audience, Griffin commented,
"If you are in that close
proximity, you will not Ikj
relaxed. "However, there is
nothing wrong with this kind
of tension occasionally," she
added.
Griffin demonstrated with
her audience three kinds of
relaxation techniques. The first
involves releasing tension
through isometric and isotonic
exercises, she said.
Another kind involves
deep-breathing exercises that
also are used to dispel tension
through relaxation and control
of body parts, she said.
A third type, she said,
concerns developing relaxing
mental images by "deliberately
focusing in your mind on
something else." She used
specific colon and textures,
such as velvet, as examples.
Griffin related relaxing
menial images to other types
of mental control of the body.

The images included some
forms of yoga and
Transcendental Meditation.
"All of these are ultimately
to control your body and your
mind-not only the obvious
voluntary systems but the less
obvious autonomic or
non-voluntary systems," she
said.
The most advantageous
times to relax are often just
after lunch, dinner or just prior
to going to bed, she said.
Responding to a student
question, Griffin said a small
amount of alcohol consumed
was relaxing and could be
enjoyable. "I'll be honest,
though, and say when you are
staggering drunk, you are too
relaxed," she said.
Earlier in the program,
Dienstbier spoke of ways in
which people deal with stress.
"Emoiional stress is what tears
us up," he said. "We can deal
with physical stress."
Dienstbier said that certain
emotional responses such as
anger cause corresponding
muscle groups to tense. He
added that physical activity
and developing fitness were
effective means of lessening the
effects of stress.
