When asked what he thought of
stress on campus Billy Kheel '92
says "Stress at PA is blown out of
proportion. " One senior, however,
can only shake his head and
whisper "major stress. " Is stress at
Andover really that big of a problem?
Of all Juniors, only 400w/o said that
they experie nced stress. Meanwhile
70% the Lowers polled admitted to
experiencing stress sometimes, and
staggering 9o of the Uppers
ased saied tatey "deounitely
stex-,
most of them adding that to even
bother asking is useless. However,
cmlx 6%6 of the Seniors said that
uliet experienced stress, which is
urprising considering the extra
burden of colleges.
This brings up the question of
