Finals Prompt Pill-Popping
By JEROME ESSLINGER

Several Lawrence drugstores report a significant increase in the sales of a certain product about this time of year.
What phenomenon requires the sacrificing of normal sleeping hours by students?
The product is the "stay-ware" and a majority of its purchasers are believed to be students, according to sales clerks and a majority of its purchasers.
The final examination is a probable answer.
According to Dr. Raymond Schegwiler, director of health services at Watkins Memorial Hospital, most students normally work under great pressure and stress. He adds, "soldier add it a student's relief."
However, Schwegler said that
he didn't believe final examinations created great personal problems for students.

Schwab
"Such cases average only about one per month," he said, "and they don't appear to influence substantially during exam time."
Situations of stress among students result more from "informal" than from formal family or boyfriend-type matters than from academic concerns.
The study required for final exams probably affects many students' eating and sleeping habits. Schwegler said. He added that the new test requires students to study efficiently or do well on an exam not to substitute quick
snacks and cups of coffee for regular, well balanced meals.
Dr. Schwegler stated that some students probably preferred to stay up and go without sleep after dinner, but the greater part of a night. He stated, however, that even a few hours of sleep in one night was usually better for the student's ability to sleep than no sleep whatsoever.
Dr. Schweigel said he would caution students who depended upon drugs to study or take exams.
"There is no statistical evidence," he said, "that either caffeine-type stimulants or amphetamines actually improve performance."
Studying by the use of stimulating drugs is usually used to study the effects of wiggle. He said that students who had relied on drugs often reported that they had done much more than an exam than they had expected.
