Stress: Students with class headaches should go to professors first by Ramona Reeves Evergreen Staff Finals got you down? It may be you are stuck with a roommate or neighbor who loves to listen to the Oak Ridge Boys or Twisted Sister until the wee hours, so a place where you can study away from home is needed. Or maybe time has somehow slipped by faster than anticipated. and you are suddenly faced With having to do a semester's worth of work in less than one week. Don't give up - there could be a solution. If you need a place to study, the libraries and the CUB are usually good choices. The libraries will be open this week and next during their regular hours. Mother's Cupboard Deli in the CUB will stay open until 12:30 a. m. for those who like a little caffeine to spark creative genius. During finals. it will stay open until I a.m .. In addition to its regular hours. the Lair will open one hour earlier Saturday morning, at 8 a.m. If organization (or the lack thereof) or stress is your problem, one of the services in Administration Annex could help. In the Counseling Services Center. students may be able to get help in dealing with either or both of these problems. Pat Gunderson, a counseling assistant, said the number of people com- ing in usually peaks during closed and finals weeks. "Usually students want to know if there is anything we can do for them at this point in the semester," she said. "We do the best we can, but normally all we can do is help them get an earlier start the next time." Gunderson said they try to help students identify the things that are interfering with their work, such as family and other personal problems. Later they can come in for counseling that may help them to deal with these concerns. Also in the Administration Annex, students can find help with time management or studying for exams through Career Services., "We make an effort to help students through finals," said Katherine Lovrich, who works at the office. Lovrich said they help with time management and offer tutorials for some GUR courses. " A lot depends on what the individual student requests," she said. "We hope they have tried to prepare a little on their own before coming to us, and only need help reviewing." Usually, Lovrich said, the students who come in for help have been working with the office since the beginning of the semester, although there is a slight increase at this time of year. Career Services offers workshops throughout the semester In paper writing, improving study skills and time management. If a student is coming into Career Services this ~eek for the fir~t time, he or she needs to have a faculty referral, she said. This way, the. office knows the professor is aware that the student is having a problem III the course. If a student is having trouble with a course, usually a good place to start is with the professor, Lovrich advised. The important thing, she said, is that the student do his or her best and Surrounded by knowledge ... not give up.
