Stress

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

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.
