More Computer Tips

Frequent computer users are
familiar with problems that can be
experienced in the back or wrists due
chair type and the height of their table,
and many are working at

ergonomically correct work stations.
But how many of you have the
computer as an add-on to your desks
and are working at an awkward
angle?

- Are you looking at your screen
from an awkward angle, chin jutting
out and head back (neck problems)?
- Lack of space. Do you have to sit
very still, unable to stretch out (back
and shoulder problems)?

- Are you constantly extending your
arm to reach the mouse and using it
for extended periods of time (wrist,
arm and shoulder problems)?

Take frequent breaks when
working for long periods. To rest
your eyes, turn your gaze to an
object in the distance outside your
window. To rest your arms, neck and
back, get up and move around for a
few minutes at least every hour.

Anyone wishing further
information regarding ergonomics
and computer use, please call Health
Services at local 2964.

ESL Program Needs

Volunteers

ou don’t have to travel far to

meet new people and learn from
other cultures. The Office Assistant
Program for ESL students is seeking
language partners who can give these
students an opportunity outside the
classroom to practice their English
over coffee, lunch, or a favorite
activity. Language partners are native

or fluent English speaking volunteers.

If you are interested in learning
about other cultures, this may be an
interesting volunteer opportunity for
you. Language partners are asked to
commit to at least one hour a week.

For more information, please call
Mary Giovannetti-Seward, convenor,
Office Assistant ESL program, local
2373. i
