Maybe you're work is way cooler than mine, but when we're stressed with deadlines, we aren't told to go color or play with puppies and kittens. I guess my issue is treating adults like children, rather and expecting them to act like adults. There is wide spectrum of ways to handle stress that lie between acting like grade-schoolers and encouraging excessive drinking. Do you think mental health counseling and treatment is just like coloring and playing with puppies and kittens? How about psychiatric meds? Are those "wrong" too? Getting back on topic, I don't think the "De-Stress" rooms cost anything substantial, and thus are not worth worrying about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But certain individuals like to blow them out of proportion and turn them into a straw-man to b!tch about some social and/or cultural issue. This is also the same crowd that thinks underage alcohol use is a "Rite of Passage" and just letting young people "sow their wild oats" is an example of "old-fashioned values", but I digress. Like I said, there are different levels and the one's I'm referring to are beyond the that. But it isn't, for the most part, a budget issue, it is something completely separate, so I'll leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you prefer discount cards for local drinking establishments instead? Human beings are not robots; learning how to manage stress properly is important for everyone. You don't deal with stress....just push it down deep inside....it will come out eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're taking this to a whole different level. Stressing during finals week or Crying because the person you voted for didn't get elected, is a far cry from legitimately needing psychiatric meds or counseling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 If I'm remembering correctly, M&W tennis were started to comply with BSC requirements. Seems those would be easy(ier) cuts now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, The only "required" sponsored sports are M and W basketball, then they can pick a minimum of 4 or 5 additional sports on each side. So for example UND can do this Mens Basketball Indoor track outdoor track Golf Cross country Swimming Womens Basketball Indoor Track Outdoor Track Golf Cross Country Swimming Volleyball Non-Summit sports UND offers FB M/W Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would rile up a certain crowd and a certain English professor (If she is still there). Anyone recall the gal that ripped into the ROTC group. I took that class, Phillip Moore and I were the only men in my Women's Studies class. I recommend that everyone take that class. I found it informative. Didn't agree with a lot of the militant feminist stuff, but it was an interesting experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not across from the traditional Mens and Womens rest rooms. Those are across the wide corridor. This room is across from the Gender Neutral rest room. I was a tourist and doing the tourist thing (meaning photos, albeit badly based on these 90 degrees off rotations ). You should visit sometime. They seem prepared to meet all your needs.

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 President Kennedy had a write up in Saturday's GF Herald mailbag. Talked about his up bringing and early adult life with a concern for $. And then kind of hit on what some $ can do if invested in higher education? Did a good job and shot an arrow towards the legislatures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
