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

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.

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,

"If someone says, 'Oh, you big

to take a gooa look at mvself and
see whether I've been feefing sorry

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
