Public Enemy No. 1: The Snooze Button by Misti Nowak Bison columnist
Being the collegiate mental giants that we are, we think we've got it all figured out. Here's the plan: Jack and Jill need to be in chapel by nine; so they instinctively set their alarms for eight so that there will be plenty of time to get ready and not feel rushed. < , The problem is, they made that decision with the understanding that they would get Y.ol:l 8re, enough sleep to "rise and shine and give God the glory" promptly at eight. ;.prearP.s are wh~rrvou fall asleep; But rarely do Jack and Jill (or any of us for that matter) go to bed at a decent hour. So, what inevitably happens each sunshiny morning when our ears are filled with the electronic screams of a mechanical box? Nothing. We slap our sluggish hand on the big fat button that says Snooze. Snooze -what a joke!! What it should be called is the "I'm-either-irresponsible-or-have-poor-time-management-skills-and-had-to-stay-up -~\ti;~t;~~t;~:: · late-studying-so-I-will-therefore-be-unable-to-wake-up-at-the-time-I-really-should · togo on -I haven't even told You, button." But that would be pretty tough to fit on one button. And even if it did fit, it cg!b ii) p$fullif"~ - would probably look ridiculous. So for our purposes, we will continue to call the retused"to tllJr1k that Iwas weak. miserable little thing a Snooze button. So anyway, you slap your Snooze button and for trUfu C . · begin slashing your morning preparation time, minute by minute. deriied'that Twas to8t . .··· Now, early in the semester, a nine-minute loss (or five minutes, depending on your believe ,_ ·· alarm clock), isn't that much of a deficit. All you have to do is speed up the shower a little to make up some time. No problem. But, as the semester wears on, the nights get longer and your Snooze button wears thin, (sometimes being pushed three to four times per morning), some serious adjustments must be made. Time efficiency could mean the difference between freedom and chapel probation. Here's a pseudo-factual account of two successful students: Jill's story: After hitting her Snooze button three times, it is now 8:27 a.m. Subtract five minutes for a speedy walk to chapel and Jill has exactly 28 minutes to get ready. Don't worry. If she eats her bagel. brushes her teeth and decides what she's going to wear- all while in the shower- she'll be fine. That's assuming, of course, that she can put on her make-up while she blows her hair dry. Despite its stress induction factor, Jill's morning routine is a veritable work of art that few outside the collegiate realm can replicate. So, morning after morning, she successfully drops into her chapel seat with a sigh of exasperation just as the bell rings (or a little bit afterward). Let's see how Jack did. Jack's story: Jack is the kind of guy who likes to shower in the evening and has found it quite convenient to sleep in his clothes. He's got a short, no-maintenance hair cut, so Jack, after hitting his Snooze button six times, and seeing that it is now 8:54 a.m., has one whole minute to brush his teeth and a leisurely five minutes to stroll to chapel before dropping his catatonic self into his seat just as (or a little after) the bell rings. Why do Jack and Jill subject themselves to such disturbing morning routines? To be honest, I think Jack has got it made. He just needs to quit with the Snooze button and start setting his alarm for 8:54a.m. Jill, on the other hand, is going to develop a stomach ulcer (and we haven't even factored in the possibility of a bad hair day). Besides, the shower is no place for bagels and toothpaste! So, what's a girl like Jill to do? The same thing we all should do: kill our Snooze buttons! James 5: 12 says to "let ·_;.:;·:·· your yes be yes and your no be no, or you will be condemned." Now I'm not trying to ::::':::~:--: condemn anyone here, but setting your alarm clocks for eight when you know for a fact that you have no intention of waking up at that time is absolutely ridiculous! Guys, don't be ashamed of the fact that you can set your alarms for 8:54, for surely you are Editor's Note: blessed. And for those of you who like to wake up slowly by hitting the Snooze button This space is being reserved for student submissions a few hundred times, you'd better start setting your alarms for 7:30 a.m. to the Bison each week. To be considered for publication, But for those of you who fmd sheer joy in trying to beat your best time for getting send your letter, poem or pencil drawing to Box 1192 two ready in the morning, far be it from me to stand in the way of your happiness. You go weeks before publication date. AU submissions must include ahead and battle the Snooze button every day. Meanwhile, I'll be sound asleep until the signature and phone nwnber of the creator. I truly intend to get up! But then again, I may need nine more minutes of sleep ... 4 Tlu BISON. 11Aprill997 Pryor provides history lesson through a tour of grave sites by Lance Lernmonds first wife of Dr. George Benson; He also tells about Florence Every grave site that the tour where historical figures in Bison staff writer John Nelson Armstrong, the M.
