Finals: lllo ion
for students

By Mal Herron

Fearnrcx Editor

The only blue grass UK students will see this
Alay is on their way from dorm room to library, or
from dorm room to computer lab.

()r from dorm room to hospital, depending on
the amount of sleep deprivation incurred from
cramming for final exams.

For some students, finals week seems less
intense and draining than the two weeks before it,
when professors inundate students with assign—
ments that redefine the phrase “going away pre-
sent.”

Nonetheless one word leads to an altogether
pleasant finals week, —— preparation.

Lesser humans would buckle under the rigorous
studying regimen adhered to by Melanie Cruz,
Student Government Association president.

“From past experience, I don’t sleep for five
days, cramming and non-stop consumption of caf-
feine,” said Cruz, who during finals last semester
went from Saturday until her last exam on Thurs—
day without snoozing.

Masochistie?

“Absolutely," she said. “I work better in condi—
tions like that just because I have a short atten-
tion span.”

Psychological obstacles surrounding final
exams, Cruz said, namely anxiety over scoring high
on exams to boost or maintain an acceptable grade
point average, can hinder students’ performances
on tests.

“There’s no way that you can actually know
everything you need to know,” Cruz said.

Postponing study time for tests until the week-
end —- and even day —— before the exam strikes
many students, including sophomore Diana Ram-
sey.
A former mechanical engineering major who

switched to electrical, Ramsey said she has prac-
ticed last—minute ritual since high school.

“I came out OK,” she said.

“Test time comes around and I’m pretty much
screwed.”

Ramsey, the tutoring coordinator for SGA, said
determining what they need to know and reviewing
now wards off the unnecessary finals crunch later.

To avoid the munchies, Domino’s Pizza plans to
offer a $7.99 Mega Deal on “any size, any top-
ping,” said Judson Ridgway, owner of the store’s
Euclid Avenue location.

This discount adds to the 30 percent students
already receive throughout the school year.

Finals week, Ridgway said the orders pile
quickly and tax the employees.

“We’re totally staffed out,” he said. “We usually
have to hire three to four extra people.”

No Vivarin or espresso for Monica McQueary
—-— the social work junior sits pretty with only two
exams, both on the same day, both non-cumulative.

“I can’t wait until finals week,” McQueary said.
“All you' do is sit around and study for exams. I
don’t think it’s as hard as people make it out to be.”

She said she’ll start reparing for the tests the
Wednesday before an knock off after about 12
hours.

Getting through the month of April poses a big-
ger challenge.

Profissors spend

summer working

By Brian Dunn
Stafl Writer

Department Chair for Com—
munication James Applegate
plans to spend his 20th summer
break at UK the same way he has
in the past.

He will be teaching the usual
eight-week intersession class,
researching the usual annual
project and spending the usual
one-week vacation with his fami-
ly in Hilton Head, SC.

But he enjoys it.

“I like being around the Uni-
versity over summer,” he said.

Most professors don’t get the
break that most students do.
Summer, to them, is a time to
catch up on some research, teach
an additional class and get ready
for the fall semester.

For example, Dave Wagner, a
forestry associate professor, plans
to spend much of his summer
time in field research. Being a
university professor is a year-
round job, he said.

Summer offers him fewer
obligations to class and more
time to research, especially
research that takes him to places
such as the Yukon and British
Columbia. Wagner, who has
been teaching at UK for 11
years, said he’ll still spend about
30 hours a week in research. For
a couple of weeks, he’ll spend
10—15 hours a day in field and lab
research.

But summer is a time for not
only professors and associate
professors to work. Teaching
assistants also hang around and
try to enhance their careers by
doing similar work.

Valerie Johnson, an English
teaching assistant, said summer
gives her the time to read for dis-
sertation research and to revise
papers for publication. Also, she
will be taking classes during the
summer.

“I’m sure professors work
harder,” she said. “They publish
books where I’ll get essays.”

Still, Johnson, a third-year
teaching assistant, will teach a
class in addition to her research-
ing, editing and taking a class of
her own.

But Johnson, Applegate and
Wagner all said summer is also a
time to look forward to, because
the break isn’t nearly as stressful
as the fall and spring semesters.

“From spring break on out,"
Johnson said, “I look forward to
the summer. Comparatively
speaking, the summer is more
relaxed.”

Also, teachers have a week or
two, maybe more, to take a vaca-
tion and to spend time with their
families.

Johnson plans to spend some
time visiting college friends in
Chicago and Pennsylvania.

Wagner plans a two—week
vacation with his wife and two
kids in Florida. And Applegate
and his family will return to
Hilton Head for a week of
“totally relaxing on the beach.”

“I don’t plan to think much,”
he said. “I’m not even taking a
laptop or anything.”

Applegate looks at summer
break as a “little bit of a slow-
down."

“I always plan twice as much
in the summer as I actually get
done,” he said. “It’s a nice atmos-
phere in which to teach.”

Professors recall exams;
give advice to students

By Amity Wahl

Contributing Writer

The semester is nearing an
end, but the stress is getting
worse.

This must mean only one
thing: Finals week is here.

The last few weeks of every
semester can seem incredibly
hectic for most people. VVith one
paper due today and two papers
plus a presentation due tomor-
row, students may start project-
ing their frustrations onto their
professors. Yet this may not be
fair, because the professors were
once students, too and they can
have some good advice to ease
the finals woes.

Karla Robinson, a professor
in the School ofjournalism and
Telecommunications, completed
her undergraduate work at Ohio
State and earned her master’s
and doctorate at Northwestern
University, near Chicago.

Robinson remembers what it
was like to have the pressure of
final, but she said she tried to use
that stress positively.

“Feelin that kind of pressure
helped to eep pushing me. The
challenge,” she said, “is keeping
a mind-set. Take a break if ou
have to —— turn on the TV, ta e a
walk or do aerobics to help clear
your head.”

nomics professor at the Gatton
College of Business and Eco—
nomics, can also em athize with
finals stress. His a vice to stu-
dents in studying for their finals
is to start early.

“When professors would bog
me down at the end of the
semester, of course I would panic
first. Then the best thing to do is
to judge where you stand in each
class. Figure out your weak spots
to see how each hour of studying
can best benefit you,” Stoker
said.

Both professors agreed that
starting early was the best way to
ensure a top-notch performance
during finals week, but that is
not always a realistic 0 tion for
students. Pulling an al -nighter
to cram for an exam the next
morning is a common way to
study for finals. However, the
professors do not recommend
that method.

“I’ve pulled all-nighters
before and all they do is cause
problems, unless it’s your last
final. It throws your body clock
off to the point where your per-
formance on the rest of your
exams will suffer,” Robinson
said.

jamie Duncan, a psychology
sophomore, shares the profes-
sors’ viewpoint —- she never
pulls all-nighters.

“All—nighters are ineffective.

You get tired of studying the
subject and because you want to
sleep, the words are read but not
absorbed," Duncan said.

To avoid having to pull an all—
nighter, plan ahead. Find a good
place to study. Robinson and
Stoker both relied on the library
to study for their finals. Robin-
son said having students all
around her doing the same thing
kept her focused on her own
need to study.

However, if you don’t like the
hustle and bustle of Margaret I.
Kin Library, Duncan suggests
the ibrary in the Chemistry and
Physics Building as an alterna—
tive.

For most, a dorm room or
apartment is the worst place to
get anything done because of the
distractions.

Yet according to Susan
Walander, an accounting senior,
it can be done.

“If you want to study in your
dorm room or apartment you
need to discipline yourself to stay
focused. Don’t answer the
phone, let the answerin
machine get it. And above a I
resist the urge to turn on the TV.
Reward yourself by taking 10-
minute breaks occasionally,”
Walander said.

Whether or not you take this
advice to heart, finals are real
and they’re here.

Classes way
to catch llll

By Angela McGInty
Contributing Writer

The semester is almost over. All the
hard work, the late-night studying and
creative procrastination are nearing a
close. Students are sighing a collective
sigh of relief as they dream of the lazy
summer days to follow.

So why would anyone want to go to
summer school?

“I’d be wasting my time if I didn’t,”
said Sarah Van Arsdale, an English and
classics sophomore.

Van Arsdale is excited about attending
summer school.

“I like to stay intellectually stimulated,”
she said.

The onl drawback for Van Arsdale is
that she wi I not be able to have a job for
the whole summer since she plans on
attending the eight-week session starting
onJune 12.

For those who are staying in the area,
summer school is a eat opportunity to
cagch up while still al owing for a full-time

Brian Turner, an art studio senior, is
picking up hours at work and attending
the four—week session.

“It’s a photo aphy class, so there will
be a lot of stu io time, but it shouldn’t
interfere too much,” Turner said.

One problem students have with sum-
mer school is that they will miss out on
their summer vacation, but often, the
need to catch up or get ahead is more
important than the three-month break.

“It’s kind of crunch time; I’m trying
to_‘get out as soon as possible,” Turner
sai .

Will Fire, a biosystems engineering
sophomore, is also thinking ahead.

“I’ve got a lot of hard classes in the fall,
so I’m trying to lighten my load a little,”
he said. “It’s time to focus.“

Enrollment for summer school has
been at a consistent level for several years.

Marietta Messer, summer school coor-
dinator, described UK’s summer sessions
as a more “relaxed atmosphere” than the
regular terms.

“The classes are smaller so there’s more
personal attention,” Messer said. She sees
summer school as a good opportunity for
new students to start to get acquainted
with the campus and also for continuing
students to catch up or get ahead.

Summer school allows students to stay
in the school mode so there isn’t as severe
a shock upon returning in the fall. While
it may rob students of their ideal summer,
it may mean a more enjoyable break the

The four-week session begins May 13
and ends June 10. The eight-week session

The culmination of finals usually has
students wantin to get off campus as
quickly as ossiEle and head home for
some well- eserved rest and relaxation.

After all, for those who have finished
their years here at UK, summer is a time
for real life to give them a swift kick in
the butt.

This best describes how political sci-
ence and philosophy senior Lori Wolfe is
going to spend her summer. She will

arely have time to get out of her cap and
gown before her July wedding arrives.
Wolfe said she is ho ing to secure an
internship at Nationa City Bank in her
native Ohio, but if that doesn’t work out
she will probably stay at her current job.

“I’m hoping to save up as much
money as I can this summer before I start
law school,” Wolfe said.

Wolfe will be attending the University

. of Dayton School of Law in the fall and
needs to start on a nest egg before then.
Most law schools prohibit first—year stu-
dents from working and Dayton is no dif-

ferent, so she and her fiance will be sur-
viving on only one income for a while —
furthering her need to make some good
money this summer. Still, this summer
has a fun tri in the works for Wolfe as
she and her fiance are planning a honey-
moon trip to the Bahamas in July.

Summer for Wolfe has never been
more relaxin than school, she said.
Wolfe remem ers the summer between
her freshman and sophomore years dur’
ing which she worked and attended sum-
mer school.

“It was the hardest because I had to
get used to workin and balancing at
summertime and stu y time mode."

A sentiment echoed by Amy Smith.
Working for her father's company Smith
Bros in Bardstown, the communications
junior said she works harder in the sum-
mer since she normally doesn’t have a job
during the school year. But she plans on
using the summer to prepare her for next
year, in which she will work and go to
school.

Smith is also hoping to secure an
intemshi at her local radio station and
work for er father.

Summer: No rest for the wicked

“I’m oing to live at home so I can
work and commute to school next year,”
Smith said.

While working for family members
can be a bit easier, it also means being at
their beck and call 24—7. Smith isn’t too
bothered by this pros ect, though; she
said she is looking fdrward to going
home for the summer.

Another student not concerned with
going home for the summer is journalism
junior josh Smith. He is planning on
working for his family newspaper, Three
Forks, in Beattyville. Smith said he will
be working about four days a week type-
setting, reporting, taking pictures and
working in the ark room or whatever
else needs to be done at the paper.

For Smith this summer job is one that
can be parlayed into a lifelong career. His

arents own the paper and he knows that
lie will one day own it too.

“For me college is just a technicality; I
know I already have a job,” Smith said.

Working all summer is a rite of )as-
sage UK students have become comflort-
able with as they learn to balance sum-
mertime fun with work demands.

Des ite the outcome of
Gov. gaul Patton’s higher
education plan, Lexin on
Community College stu ents
will not have problems getting
rooms for the fall.

More important] now for
students, both at CC and
Lexington Campus, is moving
out for the rest of the year.

Changes have also been
made to this year’s closing of
the school year. In the ast,
dorms closed on the nig t of

the last final. The policy was
changed this year to accom—
modate many. Now students
have until Saturday at noon to
vacate the dorms.

“We’re keeping them open
for an exm day for those stu-
dents who have a late exam
and cannot leave the dorms by
that time,” said Allen Rieman,
director of Auxiliary Services.

Yet some students, some
don’t know what is going to

happen.

“ haven’t heard anything
from my residence advisers
about moving out," said

Stephanie Bell, a political sci-
ence freshman. White and
others agreed that if any spe-
cial steps have been made, no
one has been notified about
them.

Students and RAs say
Thursday of finals week once
again sounds like the busy day
for students trying to “gt
out” while th can for e
summer. Fi week has
always looked to be a time
where traffic runs hi and
parking tickets are as ' trib-
utedasoxygen.

Then again, some students

“I am movin out on Fri-
day (of last weefi)," Bell said.
“I got lucky and have no finals
so I get to leave way before
anyone else.”

Students have been prepar-
ing for the inevitable to occur
— traffic.

“I brought my car here
(from home) so that when my
parents come here we’ll have
two cars to unload every-
thin ,” Bell said.

“But as far as
concerned, I am
it.”
