PGM Sale Page 14/At Ease/Thursday, Dec. 8,1988 Inside Dear Readers: After millions of college students have struggled through final exams, you would think that at least one of them would have come up with a cure for pre-test anxiety. Obviously, however, we’re still waiting. For some of us, it is too late to prepare fully for finals— when the idea of beginning studies early came up, there was always something better to do. But we have hints from a doctoral candidate in counseling psychology on how to make the most of what little time there is left to study. Perhaps the most difficult part of cramming is staying awake. For many students, however, countless doses of caffeine work wonders to keep their eyes open and their brains awake. But keeping oneself going while pumped up on a caffeine high is not without its liabilities. And it’s a fact that there just isn V a substitute for sleep. We’ve listed some places that will be open late for students looking for a place to study as an alternative to the dormitory desk or kitchen table—a place removed from the couch, the TV, the bed... And for those of you looking for a study break, movie, TV and live music schedules are provided as usual ■ :;^Mth this issue comes our last “Dear Reader” g letter and the end of the weekly At Ease section. Next semester, look for entertainment coverage on the inside pages of Monday and Thursdays Battalions, Under the new formal; we hope to provide expanded coverage of features and entertainment events. Have any suggestions of what you would like to see included in the entertainment pages? Send us a letter. We would appreciate your input. Don’t forget — finals start Friday. Best of ...feicfcj and best wishes for ihe hpjkSys. At Ease Staff Editor Mary-Lynne Rice Assistant editor Wade See Staff writers Chuck Lovejoy Stacey Babin Cray Pixley Kelly Boylan Reviewers Shane Hall Suzanne Hoechstetter Keith Spera Caffeine 8 Caffeine is the nighttime reading, writing, studying, cram ming stay awake so you can pass medicine. But do you really learn or just stare at your notes while your mind sleeps? Chuck Lovejoy examines the question and also looks at the not-so-wonderful effects of this wonder drug. Last minute jitters 9 Every semester we go through it. The week of the living dead. Finals week. Cray Pixley asks experts how and how not to study. What she found may save your grade! Attention!! 2,4 The last of this semester’s Attention!! submissions are in. At Ease has devoted two pages to Attention!! in order to include as many submissions as possible. This week we hear from R. Sean Dunham, Andrew M. Fischbach, Joy Childress and Rick Watson. "Scrooged" 5 This is Dickens in the ‘80s, and Shane says it is perhaps the best movie of the Christmas season. "Mystic Pizza" 5 Please, hold the cheese next time. Shane says it’s a bit predictable, but likeable. "Have a Merry Chess Christmas" 5 Not just an ordinary Christmas album. Shane says this one delivers! Late night munchies 6 When it’s time to study, it’s time to eat! Kelly Boylan talks to local businesses that say finals bring students into res- turants and stores in hordes. Cover photo by Dean Saito Thursday, Dec. 8,1988/At Ease/Page 3
