It's spring?time for final exams, graduations, weddings and other potentially stressful events. Stress has many causes, basically related to one's lifestyle and life events, said Barbara Hefty, intern at USC's Open Door Health Enrichment Center.

SOME STRESSES, Hefty said, are positive and are called eustresses. "i nose are good events tnat also cause stress, such as a marriage," she said. "They are a good stress but they also put a strain on your body." She defined stress as "anything that calls for your body to react physically, mentally or chemically." Negative stresses are called distresses. "Everyone needs stress," she said. The problem arises when there is too much stress. PEOPLE CAN do one of two things when confronted with stress. "When you come into a (stressful) situation, you have two alternatives-fight or flight. "One way to deal with it is through rest or relaxation," she said.

What one should do and what one wants to do often conflict, causing stress. "We tell people to look at their priorities ? is what they're doing really what they want to be do ing. They also may be doing too many things," she said. She also encourages people to think about their activities. They should compare "I should do this" to "I want to do this." Stress can cause Dhvsical emblems, such as increased muscle tension, increased heart rate, high blood pressure, headaches, lower backaches, dizziness, depression or fear. An irritated stomach and loss of sleep can also result from stress. THESE SYMPTOMS, left unchecked, can lead to stomach ulcers or, for people who eat a lot, increased chances for heart disease. Leading causes of death are related to lifestyle stress, she said. "Out of the top 10 causes of death, seven deal with lifestyle." She said there are many different types of stress and many things can cause them. "The underlying thing is how you deal with them (causes of stress). In college, you have a better opportunity. There are more places you can go for help in college. In the working ^rld, vou don't have the places."
