Some simple steps
put end to stress
By Brian Jensen
Staff Reporter
Stress may overcome students
during finals week as they wipe the
dust off their textbooks and imag
ine their parents’ reactions to their
grades.
However, stress can be avoided
if students simply reschedule their
lifestyles, said Mary Swoboda, a
psychiatric social worker at the
University Health Center.
“I think that avoiding late nights
and other preventative kinds of
measures will be the most helpful
! ways to avoid stress,” Swoboda
said.
Swoboda said students needed
between seven to nine hours of
sleep.
“Other things like avoiding caf
feine and maintaining a good diet
can only help you,” Swoboda added.
Narrayl Parker, a senior English
major, advised students to study
alone so they could finish early.
“Never try to study with your
significant other because you don’t
know where the study breaks may
lead to,” Parker said.
Swoboda said cramming was not
a good strategy for finals.
“Putting things off and cram
ming them the night before isn’t
recommended because you can’t
retain the information the next day,”
Swoboda said.
Brian Wagner, a sophomore gen
eral studies major, had one other
suggestion for getting through fi
nals week without much stress.
“Last year I got really worried
about finals, now I pretty much
don’t let the pressure get to me,”
Wagner said.

—only reflection, he says.
Dressed in a long-sleeve, tan shirt,
a white T-shirt and the standard-issue
tan pants, Atwater answers questions
in a narrow room across the nail from
the master control center. His answers
are short and direct.
“There is no easy life here,” he
says. “Any time you do is hard time.”
Atwater was sent to prison in 1974
and paroled six years later. After vio
lating parole in 1982, he returned.
Any question about what brought him
there is cut short by his unit manager.
The only time his gaze drifts from
the reporter is to glance at the official,
unsure whether to answer.
Inside the small, white canteen
building, inmates are shopping. They
come with a list of what they want.
Picante soups and cups of noodles are
advertised on a barred window—46
cents.
Meanwhile, many inmates are at
work — in the metal shop printing
license plates earning $2 a day. Or in
the furniture factory, wood shop or
braille shop.
Atwater begins hisday at2 ajn. He
says his prayers, makes out a to-do
list. Keeping busy is a way of getting
by, he says.
Chow line is at 6 ajn. After break
fast, Atwater returns to his cell to
watch the morning news until 7:15,
when he reports to his job in the law
1 ibrary—a green-striped metal build
ing, midway across the prison yard.
Starting at 7 a.m. doors run hourly
—giving prisoners a 10-minute win
dow to leave or return to their cells.
The remainder of Atwater’s day is
a mixture of work, free time and chow
time—all scheduled, coinciding with
doors.
Chow line begins again at 10:30
a.m. Lunch Friday was ham slices, red
beans, stewed rice, cole slaw and rai
sin bread.
The yard is cleared at 3:15 p.m.
and inmates return to their cells for
lock down. Workers return by 4 p.rrL,
for a head count. Evening chow linds
start at 4:30 p.m. J
The yard is cleared for the last time
at 8:30 p.m., and the prison is locked
down for the night. Atwater is asleep
by 10:30 p.m.

KhRAKA ATWATER
Prison inmate
A single-room cell in Housing Unit
1 is about 6 feet wide and 15 feet deep.
A stainless steel toilet and sink basin
sit just behind the door. A narrow,
wooden bed frame holds a standard
issue mattress — light-tan, vinyl and
stiff. Pillows are the same.
Prison society is a reflection of the
outside world, Atwater says. But his
view of the outside world is through a
fence 50 feet away.
jr*- “I had no idea what to expect when
I came here,” Atwater says.
“I’ve learned a prisoner can go in
with the understanding that he is going
to learn or just not participate at all.”
At first, he says he didn’t change.
He tried to make it on his own, he said.
Now, he says he has begun to learn.
