Stress continued from page 1 with all your stressors.” Students also shouldn’t forget to get enough sleep during the last weeks of the term, said Aaron Everhard, an intern at the Univer sity Counseling Center. “Not resting or eating properly or exercising can actually have a negative impact on your study ing,” he said. At the University Counseling Center, there has been an influx of students looking for help coping with end-of-the-term stress, Ever hard said. A combination of de pressing winter weather and heavy course loads has led to many students getting stressed out or burned out on school, he said. “Certainly towards the end of the term, we see more people struggling with school-related is sues,” Everhard said. “The last half of this term has probably been our busiest this year. ” School is stressful enough, but when students pile on problems with finances or relationships, the load can sometimes feel unbear able, Everhard said. If stress is left unresolved, it can eventually manifest itself in physi cal symptoms such as headache, backache, stomach ache or insom nia, said Dr. Gerald Fleischli, direc tor of the University Health Center. “Stress usually presents itself as some kind of physical symptom,” Fleischli said. “That’s when stu dents should seek some medical help.” If a student is facing several pa pers and finals, Everhard said, the best thing to do is take each project and break it into manageable chunks. Most students’ stress usually comes from poor time manage ment, he said. “Oftentimes, they could have saved themselves a lot of stress if they’d just organized better in the beginning,” Everhard said. “But I realize that is easier said than done.” Planning ahead for major proj ects and papers would help a lot of students avoid becoming stressed next term, agreed Fleischli. “What they might learn from the end of this term is how to bet ter manage their time at the begin ning of next term,” he said. Looking ahead to next term, stu dents can also sign up for a yoga or meditation class to learn practical relaxation techniques, Weinsoft said. Students who find themselves overburdened with schoolwork can take advantage of free drop-in counseling at the counseling cen ter. The service is available to all registered University students on a first-come, first-served basis. Students can also call the Univer sity’s 24-hour crisis line for help or advice at 346-4488. EWEB continued from page 1 cost increases since 1991.” Smith said this year marks the end of some strategic business contracts that held EWEB in a very good position since 1991. In a comparison with residential elec tric bills from the Northwest’s 16 largest utility providers, EWEB was the third lowest at $55.19 a month. Compared with 12 other cities in Oregon, Eugene’s average water bill is the fourth lowest at $12.16 a month. With the proposed increase, Eu gene’s average residential water bill will increase to $12.79, and the average electric bill will raise to $59.89. But for people like Al Kritz, an EWEB customer who spoke at the hearing, a rate increase of this size can have a big monthly impact. “There are a lot of people out there like me who are struggling to pay the bills,” Kritz said as he di rected the audience to his two sons sitting in the back of the room. “I brought them here to put a human face on this rate hike.” Commissioner Sandra Bishop urged low-income customers to let EWEB know that they are strug gling because they are likely to qual ify for utility assistance programs. i Community.
