As part of this mission, we conduct a number of outreach presentations and workshops throughout the year with the purpose of teaching students effective skills to overcome stressful life situations. The Stress- Free Zone is one such program that we conduct every semester during study week. This program is free of charge to all students. The goal of Stress-Free Zone is to have students learn and experience stress-management techniques such that they will be motivated to apply these skills at home, especially during the week of final examinations. The following are specific activities that are provided within a relaxing atmosphere (e.g., aromatherapy, music): • 5-minute massage • stress-reducing refreshments • make your own stress-free balls • stress-reduction information booth • study skills handouts • progressive muscle relaxation exercises • guided imagery exercises This program was an overwhelming success as indicated by student feedback. I have enclosed a summary of the evaluation for your review. Of note, data was only collected during the second day of the program. CAPS would like to continue offering this program with the Student Government as a co-sponsor. The estimated cost is $2200. The breakdown of the cost for two semesters is $600 for beverages and advertisements; $400 for snacks, copies, and supplies; and $1200 for massage therapists. The office of Campus Community Development has agreed to finance $600, and CAPS will be able to fund $400.1 am requesting that the Student Government sponsor $1200 for the massage therapy ($600/semeters). In your consideration of this request, please note that CAPS is not a revenue-generating department and the free massage has been the primary event in drawing students to the Stress-Free Zone. I appreciate your time and consideration of this request and I look forward to hearing from you. Should you have any questions or comments, you can reach me at x3627. Sincerely. Evaluation of Stress-Free Zone (5/2/01—from 1 day only) 45/79 provided qualitative feedback Very fun, calming, and/or enjoyable (8)* Great/Good Job/Program, Loved it, Great experience, Awesome (15) Thank you for this.

Apr. 26th 2001 UNLV UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA LAS VEGAS July 3, 2001 Paul Moradkhan, President Student Government MSU 160 Box 2009 Dear Paul, I am writing to ask for your assistance in reducing alcohol and other drug abuse and the associated negative consequences at UNLV. The survey I administered Spring 2000, Survey of College Norms £r Behavior, found that UNLV students are at high risk for serious alcohol and other drug problems. Reported alcohol and other drug consequences include: hangovers (33%), falling behind in school work (16%), unprotected sex (12%), and driving a car while under the influence of alcohol (27% within the past 30 days). Results from our CORE Alcohol £r Other Drug Survey, Fall 1998 found that the majority (67%) of UNLV students perceive using alcohol as a way to enhances their social activities, reduces stress (3 7%) and have more fun (53%). Unfortunately, the majority of UNLV students reported they believe the social atmosphere on campus promotes substance use (67% alcohol 33% drug). These finding are validated when considering the use of alcohol and marijuana (82% £r 22%) by students living in the Resident Halls compared with students living off campus (69% £r 13%). I f UNLV students' substance abuse does not change they will continue to experience these types of negative consequences. A proven substance abuse intervention is to provide extracurricular activities, giving students more choices for leisure time, particularly for those students from out of town or not living with their families. Each semester I coordinate a "Natural High" Program designed to promote health, reduce stress, and introduce fun Student Life Student Counseling & Psychological Services 4505 Maryland Parkway • Box 452005 • Las Vegas, Nevada 89154-2005 (702) 895-3627 • FAX (702) 895-0149 activities where the use of alcohol or other drugs are clearly incompatible. The "Natural High" Program has been very successful in the past and is growing in popularity. Last semester, the "Natural High" Program activity, for example, was hiking Ice Box Canyon in Red Rock. Some of these students had yet to see Red Rock even though they had been living in Las Vegas for several semesters. Often, students living in the Resident Halls can not afford transportation and activities off campus. Unfortunately, the number of students we can offer the "Natural High" Program to is limited by our budget constraints. It is imperative we keep the cost low, which mean subsidizing the activity. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to sell an expensive natural high activity when the competition across the street is selling $1.00 all you can drink beer. High costing natural high activities can easily look too inconvenient and expensive. I t is my hope that participants in the "Natural High" Program will learn alternative ways to socialize, have fun and relax without depending on alcohol and other drug as their primary source of entertainment. With extra funds we will be able to provide a healthy, safe and fun experience from which participants' interest in the chosen activity can grow. I am requesting Student Government to contribute $3,400 toward the expansion of the "Natural High" Program for the Fall and Spring 2001 £r 2002 semesters. With the additional Yr\ox\&y we could add activities such as bungie jumping, Big Shot rides, horseback riding, sailing/boating, water skiing, go-cart driving, and Wet £r Wild outings. CAPS will continue to commit $1,500 toward the "Natural High" Program, but an additional $3,400 contributed by Student Government would give us the opportunity to offer many more stimulating activities, which would support more of UNLV student's choice to be naturally high. The funds will be spent on the following: • Transportation $500 • UNLV bus and van rental fees • Promotional items $600 • Tee shirts, water bottles, hats, key chains... • Advertisement $450 • Fliers, posters, ads in The Rebel Yell, brochures... • Subsidize activity fees $1500 • Horseback riding, bungie jumping, hiking, Big Shot, Lake Mead boat tour... • Beverages £r snacks $350 • Trail mix, fruit, beverages, popcorn, mocktails, sandwiches... Thank you in advance for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you. Should you have any questions or comments, I can be reach at x3627. Warm regards, Arlene Thomas Maurer, LCSW Int. Coordinator of Substance Abuse Prevention To: Paul Moradkhan RE: CSUN BROCHURE July 11,2001 From: Michael Bond Encl: Copy Center Quote Paul, I need the following added to the upcoming agenda: Discussion/Approval of use of not more than $1000 for the production of a new CSUN Brochure.
