Stillwater Magazine, IC’s art and literary publication, is looking for an assistant layout editor this semester. We're hoping this person will replace our current layout editor next year. Experience with InDesign is preferred, but if you have an interest in learning the editor can also teach you as she designs this year’s issue. Stillwater only comes out in the spring, so you must be on campus for spring 2015. We’d also prefer someone who will be around for a year or two. Underclassmen are encouraged to apply. Send your resume, cover letter and any relevant work samples to stillwatermagazine@gmail.com by 2/21. We look forward to hearing from you!

Submitted on behalf of Julia Herman '14, CHP Intern.

The next No Pressure Blood Pressure will be held on Friday, February 14th. Important reasons not to miss the next screening:

1. 65 million Americans have hypertension (high blood pressure)

2. Many people don't even know their blood pressure is high because there are no symptoms in most cases

3. Hypertension can lead to heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease

4. 66% of those IC employees measured at the last screening were pre-hypertensive   (above ideal )

5. A 20 point increase in systolic blood pressure (top number) or a 10 point increase in diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) doubles the risk of heart disease.

6. Poor diet, inactivity, and being overweight can lead to an increase in blood pressure

7. If one does not adopt a healthy lifestyle, the hypertensive individual will need to take costly medication with potential side effects

8. Physical and emotional stress can elevate your blood pressure
