Pooh Continued from Page 9 cited several examples of Pooh tales turned simplistic Oriental philoso twenty -five S.A.'s crowded around the television to watch as Tigger and Roo bounced into the first adventure. After watching the video, “That's what Tiggers do the best," Richart compared Tigger's claims to be the best in everything he tries with students' attempts to fit in. Unfortunately, she said, like Tigger who eventually gets stuck at the top of a tree, students often find themselves in unpleasant situ ations they've boasted themselves into. The idea comes down to the fact that many students don't have enough self-esteem and try to be accepted for things other than being themselves, Ricnart said. The next adventure deals with a sulky Eeyore fretting because no one remembered or planned any thing for his birthday. Richart said that in the rush of everyday college life, it's easy to get caugnt up in one's own sched ule ana forget others. In the end, Pooh's gift is only an empty honey jar and Piglet's is a busted balloon, but Eeyore is happy with just being remembered on his special day. Like Eeyore, Richart explained, students' days can be brightened Swing Continued from Page 9 in his hometown of Bladen, Bartels, a junior in athletic train ing and physical therapy, said she has been doing the countiy swing since she was a junior in high school. "It's a great aerobic workout," she said. Thornton and Bartlesagree that country swing is becoming more popular, especially witn the younger audience. The biggest problem most be ginners face, Thornton said, is their tear of learning. "They wanttobeinstantgood," he said. Thornton s aid a workshop provides a good atmosphere to leam new steps. It is more relaxed and easier to slow down and compare notes, he said. This demonstration was only one workshop in a full day of mid year training for the S.A.'s,. Julie I’arr, central office assistant from the office of housing for residen tial education, said the program gives the student assistants the opportunity to take new skills back to their floors. But two Schramm S.A.'s, Chris Kuta, a junior psychology major, and Russell Johnson, a senior crimi nal justice major, said they did not feel confident enough to try to teach the country swing after one Shaun Sartin/Daily Nebraskan Playing a trivia form of Twister are Laura Walthers of Omaha and S.A.s Kevin Strine, a junior political science and psychol ogy major, Leigh Ann Murphy, a junior speech language pa thology and audiology major and Dave Linder, a junior inter national affairs major. The game was a part of Sunday's stu dent assistant s'winter workshop. from even the simplest things like a compliment, an encouraging re mark, a note or a chocolate kiss. Richart said the Pooh-Tao phi losophy has created self-aware ness on her floor. "If someone says, 'Oh, you big Pooh' or 'Oh, you big Eeyore/ I know at that point in time, I need to take a gooa look at mvself and see whether I've been feefing sorry for myself or how I'm coming across," Richart said. Richart said she happens to have a "Pooh" on her floor in Fedde. "She's happy, and she just tends to make others around her happy," Richart said. And that's what roohs are for.
