their addiction, she said.
But 1H year-old Berchtold is not alone in his
struggle to quit. About 71 percent of the under
graduate smokers interviewed for n 1002 Universi
ty health survey said they had tried to quit within
the past (yvo years
About 10.3 percent of the health survey respon
dents smoked About H:t tt percent of the 241
undergraduates in the survey, both smokers and
non-smokers, said they would definitely not be
smoking in five years
Many smokers have trouble quitting because
they use cigarettes to relieve stress, said Mary
Stine, a smoking management clinic instructor at
McKenzie-Willamette Hospital. Ironically, smok
ing causes people to become more tense, she said.
When smokers inhale, they take a deep breath of
smoke It is the deep breath that relaxes them In
contrast, the nicotine in cigarettes causes the body
to release adrenalin, which makes smokers tense.
Smokers respond to this nervousness by lighting
up again.
The level of people's addiction yvhen they seek
help varies Some people may only need three cig
arettes a day Other people may smoke four packs.
Stine said
lunior Sean Hesford. 22. smokes almost three
packs a day. Two years ago. he quit for three days,
but couldn't resist the urge to smoke.
"It was like when you want something so bad,
you can feel it on the end of your tongue." he said.
Hesford plans to quit after graduation He said
he needs to smoke now to ease the stows of school,
but worries about getting cancer when he's older.
Thereto that statistic about
every cigarette taking seven
minutes off your life. I’ve
wasted a lot of minutes
— Dave Berchtold,
University freshman
People usually decide to quit when they art* in
their 10s or 40s and bogin worrying about cancer
and other smoke-related diseases, Niblock said
Most people of college age quit because they feel
like social lepers or because they no longer want to
s|M'nd up to $100 a month on cigarettes.
Many young smokers say they want to quit
because of health reasons. But Stine said she
believes it is social pressure more than health that
motivates them to quit.
"They say they feel like second-class citizens."
she said.
lunior Alex Kasner. 20. is an exception to the
rule in his motives for quitting. He said he tried
to quit about 10 times, but he kept returning to his
habit. Finally, one day he quit cold turkey because
he worried about his health.
"I started coughing up blood." he said.
Berchtold now smokes one or two cigarettes a
day and wants to ultimately quit altogether, hut he
said it's tough. However, he said he believes the
benefits of being a non-smoker will make his pre
sent struggle worthwhile.
"There's that statistic about every cigarette tak
ing seven minutes off your life." he said. ' I've
wasted a lot of minutes"

graduate students both Pnt

that being research atten
dants is a profitable experi
ence for their psychology
majors
"I find doing this is very
interesting and fun," Patter
son said. "It's a belter learn
ing experience than in the
classroom."
The psyi hology depart
ment is looking for several
research attendants for
spring term Credit is avail
able and students don't nec
essarily need to tie psycholo
gy majors.
Tucker said the students
are selectively chosen to
work with him in the lab
They have to be committed
to working in the lab for a
few terms because he said it
takes a long time to train peo
ple.
Currently, Tucker is in the
planning stages of starting
his own company once he
raises enough money to rent
on office space in the River
front Research Park complex.
The company, which will
develop technology to use for
research purposes in classes,
will involve a few of Tuck
er's students. Tucker has
already received one grant
from the National Institute of
Mental Health to develop
special amplifiers. The
amplifiers. which are
attached to computers, pro
vide a more detailed pi< tore
of brain activity.
"Originally I hod asked the
University to help me devel
op this, but liecause of Mea
sure 5, the University
couldn't do it," Tucker said.
"I had to find the funding on
my own."
Tucker, whose research
work has appeared in numer
ous scientific journals, said
he liked having the best of
both worlds
"(My job) is neat for me
because my teaching and my
research go hand-in-hand."
Tucker said.
EMU
Continued from Page 1
IFC member Anno Wagoner
said hearing each EMU program's
budget on a different day will
guarantee student fees are allo
cated to meet the requirements of
students, not EMU management
and administration
However. EMU board members
said two IFC members on the
EMU Budget Committee already
get a chance to determine
whether student money is used
in students’ best interests.
Those same two IFC members.
Steve Masat and Eydia Larina,
haven't attended many EMU
board meetings this year, which
prompted the EMU board to vote
for their removal from the com
mittee. said |oe Grube, EMU
board chairman.
Masat and l-erma are now back
on the EMU Budget Committee
and have committed to attending
more meetings. Grube said.
Masat said his and hernia's
removal from the committee was
politically motivated, and other
members of the committee with
equally poor attendance were not
asked to leave the committee.
The IFC has requested a medi
ation hearing with the EMU
board to settle their differences,
Masat said.
