If  someone  has  ever  felt  their  temporal  lobes  pulsating  nonstop  while  studying  a  textbook,  that  will  mean  nothing  to  them  in  the  next  month  and  a  half,  then  they  have  experienced  something  called  midterm-Âstress.  “Midterms  are  a  big  part  of  your  grade  and  considering  they’re  cumulative  there  can  be  a  slim  chance  of  passing,â€?  fresh-Â
PDQ ÂżQDQFH PDMRU 0LWFKHOO )DU- rell  said. The  body  owns  certain  stress- ors  that  are  stimulated  and  cause  people  to  act  and  think  in  certain  ways.  Midterms  can  almost  be  re- lated  to  several  different  stressors  such  as:  chronic,  life  changing,  job  and/or  frustrating  stressors.  ³7KH ZRUGV PLGWHUP DQG Âż- nal,  are  associated  with  fear,â€?  Farrell  said. According  to  Ashland  Torres,  writer  for  The  Current  Online,  “with  half  of  the  semester  nearly Â
over,  midterms  are  the  looming  darkness  over  every  students  head.â€? Although  students  may  pre- pare  for  the  looming  darkness  of  midterms,  even  the  prepared  stu- dent  experiences  the  worries  and  stress  when  faced  with  the  pres- sure  that  comes  along  with  mid- terms.  If  pondered  on,  the  idea  of  being  well  prepared  isn’t  that  easy  to  come  by  for  college  stu- dents.  Most  college  students  not  only  have  to  worry  about  mid- terms,  but  also  worry  about  oth-Â
er  factors  such  as:  their  futures,  their  money,  maintaining  certain  GPAs,  holding  onto  a  part-Âtime  job,  etc.  According  to  US  News,  20  percent  of  students  report  anxi- ety  so  stressful  that  it  affects  their  grades  on  the  actual  test.  With  this  many  tasks  it  also  easy  for  students  to  forget  important  things,  simply  because  their  minds  are  off  somewhere  else.  Due  to  distractions,  students  may  DOVR ÂżQG WKHPVHOYHV UHDOL]LQJ DW the  last  minute  they  must  take  a Â
midterm,  causing  an  alarming  re- action. As  the  body  reacts  to  alarm- ing  news,  the  heart  has  a  reac- tion.  The  sudden  stop  of  heart  is  the  body’s  GAS  (generalized  adaptation  syndrome)  system  be- ing  activated.  The  way  this  sys- tem  works  is  that  generally  when  someone  is  initially  told  some- thing  alarming  they  experience  3  phases;Íž  they  are:  the  alarm,  resistance  and  exhaustion  stages.  For  example,  when  a  student  sud- denly  remembers  a  big  test  he/she  is  startled  triggering  their  stress- ors.  The  second  stage,  resistance,  is  when  the  student  will  shake  it  off  and  say  that  they  have  enough  time  to  cram  the  night  before.  7KHQ WKH ÂżQDO VWDJH H[KDXVWLRQ is  when  the  body  literally  gives  up,  they  call  it  quits  because  the  body  can  no  longer  take  what  is  being  thrown  at  it.  The  informa- tion  being  read  is  not  being  syn- thesized  and  people  will  go  to  sleep  because  they  are  literally  exhausted.  Stress  is  literally  a  bodily  re- minder.  Some  ways  to  deal  with  midterm  stress  are  simple  such  as:  getting  good  sleep,  exercise  so  the  body  remains  in  tip-Âtop  shape,  study  a  week  or  two  ahead,  etc.  The  next  time  the  syllabus  reads  midterm  make  sure  to  plan  ahead  because  with  that  single  step  they  are  avoiding  stressing  themselves  out.  Remember,  stress  is  what  one  makes  it.

Through  major  disturbances  this  semester,  students  and  guests  have  both  found  out  that  the  ac- tions  that  they  take  can  have  consequences  that  can  remove  them  from  campus.  Students  with  guests  are  reminded  that  they  should  make  sure  to  follow  policy,  including  remaining  with  a  guest  and  knowing  where  they  are  and  what  they  are  doing  at  all  times.
Pace Students React to NYC 21+ Smoking Law Continued  from  Page  1 mute  from  the  city  to  Westchester  everyday.  There  are  also  many  more  students  that  attend  classes  at  both  the  Westchester  and  New  York  City  campuses. Not  all  Pace  students  are  over  the  age  of  21  and  if  they  are,  many  students  cannot  afford  ciga- rettes  that  are  so  expensive.  With  the  new  law  limiting  the  purchase  of  cigarettes,  students  have  many  points  of  view  and  responses.   Some  question  if  the  law  should  have  been  passed  despite  whether  it  directly  effects  them  or  not.

Many  New  Yorkers  agree  with  Samanich.  The  idea  that  lawmakers  had  for  the  bills  was  that  it  is  important  to  incorporate  the  health  and  developmental  as- pects  of  the  young  adults  that  do  smoke. “I  don’t  smoke  anymore,  but  I  understand  it.  I  think  it’s  a  good  way  to  get  young  people  to  not  start  smoking,â€?  senior  informa- tion  technology  major  Matt  Oel- sner  said.  “If  they  don’t  start  by  21  then  they  most  likely  won’t. Pace  students  seemed  to  agree  with  the  law  in  one  way  or  an- other,  saying  that  the  addictive Â
properties  of  smoking  are  hard  to  break  and  that  if  people  never  try  them  then  they  are  less  likely  to  become  addicted. “I  think  that  it’s  actually  a  good  law,â€?  junior  education  ma- jor  Victoria  Mornhineway  said.  “Kids  are  starting  to  smoke  younger  and  younger  these  days  so  if  they  enforced  this  law  I  think  it  would  be  really  helpful.  But  only  if  it  is  enforced.â€? One  of  the  other  propositions  that  is  being  pushed  for  in  New  York  City  is  for  the  sale  of  ciga- rettes  and  other  tobacco  products  to  be  modeled  after  countries  such  as  Ireland  and  England.  In  these  countries,  the  products  are  hidden  in  cabinets  and  draws  or  concealed  behind  curtains  until Â

Alice Altshuler is one of the many students at Pace who is able to enjoy the college experience through the Successful Learning Center (SLC). SLC, according to its website, is a program that enables students with disabilities to meet and interact with other college students and become ex- posed to the collegiate environment. On Wednesdays, students in SLC come to Pace and spend time with other students through the Lunch Buddies program. It was through this program that the Chronicle’s Editor in Chief, Jonathan Alvarez, met Alice and learned of her future aspirations of becoming a journalist. When Jonathan promised to pub- lish her writing in The Pace Chronicle, she immediately began typing away at a nearby computer and assured him she would have her article submitted the next day. Alice kept her word, and the fol- lowing column gives in-depth ac- counts of her days at Pace. For more information on SLC or the Lunch Buddies program, stop by the Setter’s Lounge on Wednesdays or visit their website www.successful- learningcenter.com.
Today I had lunch with my friends Ian, Connor, and Nick. It is nice talking to them. They are so fun and cool. I miss them when they go. We have a very nice friendship. It is fun here. Nick is 19 and Connor is 19 as well. They are on the Pace la- crosse team. Nick played base- ball when he was younger and Connor played football. Nick wants to be an accountant and eventually become a teacher and Connor wants to work on :DOO 6WUHHW GRLQJ ¿QDQFH 1LFN¶V favorite food is pizza and Con- nor’s is pasta.

Trash in residence halls-- Do all students respect common space?

Home For the Holidays: A Stressful Season for Students SARA Â MORIARTY Â OPINION Â EDITOR SARA.M.MORIARTY@PACE.EDU
With  the  holiday  season  upon  us,  some  students  living  at  Pace  are  beginning  to  mentally  prepare  before  going  home  for  Thanks- giving  and  winter  break.   Living  on  campus  gives  many  students  a  sense  of  independence  that  they  do  not  have  at  home.  I  live  on  campus  because  I  craved  this  independence,  as  do  many  other  students.  Thus,  going  back  to  your  parents’  house,  for  some,  is  a  source  of  stress.  This  stress  can  be  partly  because  of  losing  the  sense  of  college  independence  upon  going  back  home.  Personally,  I  don’t  get  so  stressed  out  with  going  home.  It’s  a  bit  annoying  having  a  curfew  after  spending  a  whole  semester  without  one,  and  it’s  weird  go- ing  back  to  a  house  always  full  of  children  after  living  in  a  dorm  full  of  young  adults.  Still,  I  don’t  mind  going  home.  Other  students  have  differing  opinions.   “I  love  going  home,â€?  sopho- more  nursing  major  Asma  Vohra  said.  “Whenever  I’m  on  campus,  I  have  a  lot  of  work,  which  is Â

Led  by  director  Dan  Fos- ter,  4000  Miles  tells  the  story  of  young  adult  Leo  (Jacob  Perkins)  who  leaves  his  home  in  St.  Paul  to  live  with  his  hearing-Âimpaired  grandmother  (Alice  Cannon)  in  her  West  Village  apartment.  Following  the  traumatic  loss  of  his  best  friend,  Leo  struggles  to  discover  himself  and  atone  for  his  past  wrongdoings.  Meanwhile,  his  grandmother  Vera  copes  with  her  own  fear  of  losing  her  grand- son,  as  he  grows  less  dependent  on  her.  Both  stories  show  the  tri- als  and  tribulations  of  life  and  its  stages  with  frequent  comedic  re- lief  from  Cannon.

As  the  Volleyball  season  starts  to  come  to  a  close,  the  Setters  took  on  the  Franklin  Pierce  Ravens  in  an  exciting  match  that  ended  with  the  Ravens  edging  the  Setters  3-Â2. Franklin  Pierce  started  the  game  off  strong  as  they  took  an  OHDG LQ WKH ÂżUVW VHW ORRNLQJ OLNH WKH\ ZRXOG HDVLO\ ZLQ WKH ÂżUVW set.  The  Setters  fought  back  how- ever,  as  they  obtained  18  points  in  RUGHU WR WDNH WKH ÂżUVW VHW E\ D VFRUH of  25-Â21.  Kayla  Witwer,  a  freshman  from  Southlake,  TX,  had  seven  NLOOV LQ WKH ÂżUVW VHW ZKLOH VRSKR- more  Rebecca  Italiano,  from  East  Rockaway,  NY,  contributed  with  nine  digs. The  Setters  were  able  to  keep  the  momentum  going  in  the  sec- ond  half  as  they  took  an  early  5-Â1  lead,  and  continued  on,  never  trailing  behind  the  Ravens  in  the  set.  Ashley  DiFulvio,  a  freshman  majoring  in  communications  from  Lakewood,  CO,  provided  six  kills  as  the  Setters  won  the  second  set  25-Â16.  But  the  momentum  started  to  slip  away  for  the  Setters,  starting Â
in  the  third  set  as  they  got  into  a  hole  early  on,  trailing  the  Ravens  21-Â9  at  one  point.  ³, WKLQN DIWHU ZLQQLQJ WKH ÂżUVW two  sets,  we  just  kind  of  relaxed  a  little  bit  too  much,â&#x20AC;?  said  sopho- more  Sara  Anastasi,  a  business  major  from  Branchburg,  New  Jer- sey.  The  Ravens  ended  up  winning  the  third  set  25-Â12. Things  got  interesting  in  the Â
ÂżQDO WZR VHWV DV WKH WZR WHDPV battled  till  the  end.  The  Ravens  took  an  early  lead  in  the  fourth  set,  but  the  Setters  quickly  tied  the  game  up  at  3-Â3.  Pace  continued  to  rack  up  points,  increasing  their  lead  against  the  Ravens.  They  led  20-Â15,  but  the  Ra- vens  slowly  made  their  way  back,  knotting  the  game  at  23-Â23.  It  remained  close  after  that,  but  ul-Â
timately  Franklin  Pierce  was  vic- torious  as  they  took  the  fourth  set  27-Â25.  7KH ÂżIWK DQG ÂżQDO VHW ZDV D close  one  throughout,  but  the  Set- ters  were  unable  to  secure  a  vic- tory,  as  Franklin  Pierce  held  on  for  a  16-Â14  win.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those  last  two  sets  were  tough  because  we  were  so  close,  but  ultimately  it  came  down  to  us  not  being  able  to  do  the  little Â
things  better,â&#x20AC;?  Anastasi  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  we  fought  till  the  end,  and  we  just  have  to  continue  going  full  speed,  we  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  slow  down.â&#x20AC;?  The  Setters  are  now  4-Â23  with  just  three  games  left  in  the  season.  The  next  game  will  be  an  away  game  on  Fri.,  Nov.  8  against  As- VXPSWLRQ 7KH ÂżQDO KRPH JDPH for  the  Setters  is  on  Nov.  15  against  Merrimack.

NCAA Champion Aims to Lead Setters to New Heights NATALIA Â ALVAREZ Â PAGAN Â SPORTS Â EDITOR NATALIA.M. Â ALVAREZPAGAN@PACE.EDU
Pace  Athletics  has  made  many  new  additions  and  changes  to  var- ious  athletics  programs  over  the  past  year.   Among  these  changes,  the  athletics  department  has  hired  a  new  coach  for  the  menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  and  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  diving;Íž  Logan  Pearsall. With  notable  hires  like  Tom  Mariano,  the  new  lacrosse  coach,  and  Pat  Kennedy,  the  new  bas- ketball  coach,  along  with  the  an- nouncement  of  the  additions  of  two  new  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sports  teams  ODFURVVH DQG ÂżHOG KRFNH\ /R- gan  Pearsall  comes  in  eager  to  help  continue  to  build  up  the  Pace  diving  team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  that  the  program  here  at  Pace  has  a  very  strong  founda- tion  that  can  we  build  upon,â&#x20AC;?  said  Pearsall,  a  graduate  of  Clarion  University,  where  he  majored  in  Liberal  Studies  with  a  concentra- tion  in  athletic  coaching.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;From  here  we  can  only  look  to  make  it  stronger,  and  we  do  that  by  put- ting  the  Pace  name  out  there,  us- ing  our  resources  and  contacts  to  show  how  good  this  school  can  be.  We  want  to  get  to  the  point  where  we  can  be  recognized  on  the  Conference  level  and  on  the  National  level.â&#x20AC;? Coming  from  a  Division  II  school,  where  he  was  named  the  NCAA  Diver  of  the  Year  two  years  in  a  row  (2010-Â2011),  Pearsall  comes  to  familiar  terri- tory  with  Pace.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;One  of  the  reasons  I  chose  Pace  was  because  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  Division  II  school,â&#x20AC;?  said  Pearsall,  who  was  previously  the  head  coach  at  Wheaton  College,  a  Division  III  school.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  Division  I  schools  you  see  that  they  are  very  competi- tive,  but  the  focus  is  put  more  on  athletics  and  not  so  much  on  the  academics.â&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Division  III  schools  on  the  other  hand  are  not  as  competi- tive.  I  think  that  with  Division  II Â
schools  you  strike  the  perfect  bal- ance  because  they  are  competi- tive,  but  academics  are  also  very  important,â&#x20AC;?  Pearsall  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  that  this  is  important  because  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  great  way  to  showcase  complete  student  athletes.â&#x20AC;? Pearsall  feels  an  importance  in  bringing  out  the  best  in  student  athletes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  enjoy  coaching  because  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  great  way  to  interact  with  people,  and  it  allows  me  to  pass  on  my  knowledge  to  my  pupils,â&#x20AC;?  said  Pearsall,  who  also  coaches  the  age  group  powerhouse  Whirl- wind  Diving,  a  kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  diving  group  out  of  the  New  Canaan,  Connect- icut  YMCA.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything  I  have  learned  throughout  my  career  and  life  I  am  able  to  contribute  and  that  gives  me  a  great  sense  of  sat- isfaction.â&#x20AC;? Pearsall  has  plenty  of  expe- rience,  considering  he  has  been  coaching  since  he  was  a  freshman  in  high  school.  He  started  off  as  an  assistant  coach  in  high  school,  while  swimming  has  been  some- thing  that  he  has  done  his  whole  life.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  love  anything  that  is  com- petitive,  but  the  thing  about  swimming  is  that  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  very  indi- vidual  sport,  but  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  also  a  team  sport,â&#x20AC;?  said  Pearsall,  who  is  a  four  time  NCAA  Division  II  champion  between  the  one  and  three  meter  boards,  which  is  tied  for  most  ever  in  NCAA  Division  II  menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  diving.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  very  much  like  a  fam- ily.  I  still  have  teammates  from  high  school  that  I  am  very  close  with,  and  we  all  see  each  other  whenever  we  can,  and  we  have  gone  to  each  otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  weddings,  and  those  are  just  bonds  that  last  a  lifetime,â&#x20AC;?  Pearsall  said.  Having  started  off  as  a  swim- mer,  Pearsall  made  the  transition  to  diving  in  the  summer  of  his  junior  year  of  High  School.  What  VWDUWHG RXW DV MXVW JRRÂżQJ DURXQG ended  up  being  something  that  changed  Pearsallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  got  into  diving  in  high Â

school,  but  it  was  really  when  I  got  to  college  that  it  took  off,â&#x20AC;?  said  Pearsall,  who  was  named  the  Clarion  University  of  Pennsylva- nia  Male  Athlete  of  the  Year  in  2009.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially  when  I  got  to  Clarion  University  because  when  I  was  at  the  University  of  Rhode  Island,  our  program  there  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  the  greatest  and  it  got  to  the  point Â
where  I  felt  like  I  just  couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  do  it  anymore.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  grades  werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  really  that  good,  and  I  thought  that  I  might  have  to  quit,  but  I  felt  like  if  I  did  quit,  I  would  not  only  quit  diving  but  school  overall.  Transferring  to  Clarion  University  ended  up  being  the  best  decision  for  me  be- cause  I  was  able  to  get  it  together Â
again  and  really  re-Âfocus  on  my  studies  and  get  through  it.  The  coaches  there  are  fantastic,  they  kept  encouraging,  kept  helping  me  to  work  hard  and  be  the  best  athlete  I  could  be,â&#x20AC;?  Pearsall  said.  The  next  meet  for  the  Swim- ming  and  Diving  Team  will  be  Nov.  10  at  Pace  against  Assump- tion  College/Le  Moyne  College.
