Some side-effects are
restlessness, rambling flow
of thought and speech,
gastrointestinal disturbance,
nervousness, and muscle
twitching. The rebound let
down and fatigue actually
make you feel more tired.
Especially if it is the night before the
exam, sleep deprivation will hurt you
cognitively. Concentration, reaction
time and decision skills are weakened
resulting in poor test performance.
3. THERE IS A BEST
TIME TO SLEE?.
You need a minimum of three hours and the best
times to sleep are between 2AM and 6 AM Your
body heat is lowest from 3-4AM, so you are
drowsiest then and your memory retention is
extremely poor. Sleep helps the mind absorb and
retain the information you reviewed while studying.
®^T1?S ON STAYING ALERT WHILE STUDYING:
Break work up into small units; 40 minutes of
study with 5 minute breaks. Movies or TV are
poor choices for relaxants after studying. They
put interference between the studying and the
test and worsen memory retention.
^ When reading a lengthy or difficult assignment,
take notes after each paragraph or section to
keep your focus and concentration.
â– ^Use every available daylight hour to study.
m
'S.Washing your face or taking a brisk walk helps
refresh and re-stimulate your mind.
^ Avoid studying on your bed. Find a place with
good light, little noise, and no interruptions or
visitors.
^Eat light foods (fruits and vegetables). Lean
proteins are also important for the day of the
test. Avoid donuts, coffee, and greasy, heavy
foods.

Gene Stallings
still hospitalized
PARIS, Texas (AP) — Former Al
abama football coach Gene
Stallings, trampled by horses on
his ranch, will require a wheelchair
or crutches for about three
months, his doctor said Tuesday.
Stallings was in good condition af
ter surgery Sunday at St. Joseph’s Hos
pital and Health Center when doctors
installed four pins in his fractured hip.
Dr. Steve Rowlan, an orthopedic
surgeon, said Stallings will remain
hospitalized for up to four more days.
‘‘He started walking with the
physical therapist yesterday and
has already walked out into the
hospital hall,” Rowlan said.
Stallings, 62, was injured Sunday
morning. A colt knocked him to the
ground, while he was feeding horses.
Pat Fitzgerald
signs with Dallas
EVANSTON, III. (AP) — North
western linebacker Pat Fitzgerald,
who was passed over in the NFL
draft, has signed as a free agent
with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys recently lost three
linebackers to free agency.
Fitzgerald said about 10 teams
called him Monday and he imme
diately narrowed the field to three:
the Cowboys, the Kansas City
Chiefs and the New York Jets.
Yankees acquire
Irabu from Padres
NEW YORK (AP) — Ending a four-
month saga, the New York Yankees
today acquired the rights to Japan
ese pitcher Hideki Irabu from the
San Diego Padres for $3 million.
As part of the deal, which is sub
ject to approval from the ruling ex
ecutive council, the Yankees will
send injured outfielder Ruben
Rivera, minor league pitcher Rafael
Medina to San Diego and will receive
three players: second baseman
Homer Bush and outfielders Gordon
Amerson and Vernon Maxwell.

Chicago welcomes
back Rodman, Kukot
DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The ear
rings, the eye shadow and the glit
tery gold makeup stays in the lock
er room. But Dennis Rodman,
fashion guy that he is, will still sport
new apparel for the playoffs.
Rodman, who missed the last 13
regular-season games with the
Chicago Bulls, will be wearing a
knee brace in Friday’s playoff open
er against the Washington Bullets.
Just like his hair, no one’s sure
what color or how stylish the brace
will be. But they are sure that Rod-
man, the flamboyant six-time NBA
rebounding champion, is back as
the Bulls make a run at their fifth
title of the ’90s.
Rodman missed 27
games this season, 14
because of three sepa
rate suspensions, and
the last 13 with a
sprained medial collat
eral ligament in his left
knee. Chicago was 21-
6 in his absence.
But with the physi
cal play of the postseason, the Bulls
need Rodman. They will face a tall
Bullets front line featuring 7-foot-7
Gheorghe Muresan. And if they win,
Charlotte’s Anthony Mason, New
York’s Charles Oakley and Miami’s
Alonzo Mourning are all possible
opponents in the coming weeks.
“He brings a lot of energy to the
game. Hopefully, he can corral that en
ergy and use it in a very positive way,”
Michael Jordan said, shortly after the
Bulls finished the regular season.
“He can certainly hurt us if he
doesn’t. This is no time to be getting
kicked out of games or getting sus
pended, and I’m pretty sure he’s
aware of that.”
Baseball
Continued from page 5
Sneed’s outing was a welcome
sight for the Aggies. As the regular
season winds down and the team
gets set for the post season, starting
pitching becomes a bigger priority.
“[Pitching becomes important],
especially if you lose the First game
of the tournament, then your back’s
against the wall,” Sneed said.
“You’re going to need four or five,
maybe even a sixth starter. So to
have guys who can maybe come out
of the bullpen and start late in the
season is very important.”

Alomar shakes hands with ui
BALTIMORE (AP) — Roberto
Alomar deliberately went out of his
way Tuesday night to find John
Hirschbeck in short right field —
and shake his hand.
With that gesture, the Baltimore
second baseman and the umpire
hoped to put one of the game’s ugli
est incidents behind them.
In a scene far different from their
last meeting when Alomar spit in
Hirschbeck’s face, the two recon
ciled before the Orioles’ game
time career record of 48.
Senior pitcher Lori Gioco is one
win away from hitting the 20-win
mark with a 19-12 record and leads
the team with a 1.39 ERA.
The Lady Mavericks are hitting
.224 as a team, led by sophomore An
gela Perry who is hitting .242. The
Mavericks’ pitching staff is holding
opponents to a .242 batting average.
Overall, Evans said the Lady Aggies
