all trying to work together to make
sure that everyone who needs to
get home can,” she said.
Chen said that providing a serv
ice strictly for women is still im
portant, despite the many ride op
tions already available to
everyone.
“If males on campus are con
cerned with their safety, students
have every right to start a service if
they feel there is a need,” he said.
A student who wants to start any
service can go to the ASUO and fill
out an application and ask for funds.
Alexandra Kerl, the women’s
center education outreach coordi
nator, said that Saferide came
about because women felt unsafe,
and while she knows that some
men feel unsafe, she said they
have many other options such as
the Tandem Taxi.
“I don’t think that we need a
mirror image. It’s the way society
works,” Kerl said. “I just don’t
think that things are the same. ”

And contrary to popular belief,
“you can’t store sleep up,” Fleischli
said.
Most students don’t practice
good “sleep hygiene” — which
includes going to sleep and wak
ing up at the same time each day
and not drinking caffeinated bever
ages before bedtime, Fleischli said.
“Students are probably not get
ting as much sleep as they need,”
Fleischli said. “And bouncing
their schedules around isn’t
healthy.”
University students are not
alone, however. Almost half of
American adults ages 18 to 29
don’t keep regular sleep sched
ules, according to statistics from
the National Sleep Foundation’s
1999 Sleep in America poll. And
unless students are getting the
recommended amount of sleep at
the same time each night, they’re
actually harming themselves,
Fleischli said.
“Students can get into a down
ward spiral,” Fleischli said.
“When you study when you’re
tired, your studying is not effi
cient, so you figure you just need
to study harder. But if you get more
rest, you can get more work done
in a shorter amount of time.”
Students are'better off manag
ing their time effectively than
taking caffeine pills or downing
countless cups of coffee, said
Joanne Frank, a health educator
with the health center.
“I wouldn’t personally recom
mend caffeine pills or drinking
coffee,” Frank said. “What will
happen over time is that the body
will eventually fatigue, and you
won’t be as alert for your classes
the next day.”
If students absolutely must
stay up for a project or study for
a test, Frank said students should
look for better alternatives than
stimulants such as caffeine or
sugar.
“Students can crack a window
open to bring in fresh air, or get a
friend and take a walk outside to
help wake them up,” she said.
“There are other ways that are
more natural than using a stimu
lant to stay awake.”

Saferide has never been about gen
der discrimination or exclusivity,
and other action could have imple
mented change prior to filing a
grievance in order to inflict change.
“Aaron needs to do the work if
he wants a similar program, and I
think that women and the
women’s center would support
him,” Breslo said. “Women fought
for this, it wasn’t like we had a
rape-free environment before and
then we just decided that we felt
unsafe. This program came about
out of need.”
