"All this corporate profiteering in areas of agriculture, the environment and labor, results in worsening poverty in Mexico," he said. "The people become as refugees from oppression who then choose to become illegal immigrants for survival." He said America's trade police needed to change to fix the problem of worker exploitation in Mexico. "Our present profiteering on the back of oppression is not the America that I believe in," he said. "Through a better trade policy and a loan for infrastructure and economic development, Mexico can encourage its people, our illegal immigrants, to come home to jobs, family and the protection of their rights."

Edited by Shanxi Upsdell SLEEP (CONTINUED FROM 1A) She said the imbalance dealt primarily with two hormones, leptin and ghrelin. Leptin, known as the "fullness hormone", went down with sleep deprivation. Ghrelin, known as the "hunger hormone" tended to be higher with sleep deprivation. Thus, a person who's sleep deprived will be more likely to feel hungry and less likely to feel full She said college students were especially affected by lack of sleep and erratic sleep patterns. "Whether they're up studying for tests, and losing sleep because of that, or up with their friends socializing" Guillaume said college students should get eight to nine hours of sleep each night. She recommended going to sleep and waking up at the same time each day because it helps the body know when to be sleepy and when to be alert. "The body likes consistency." she said. Guillaume also recommended skipping naps during the day because they promoted sleepiness. "A lot of times students will take naps to make up for sleep they've missed at night," she said. "It's good sleep hygiene to avoid naps and get the majority of your sleep at night." According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity increases the risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and respiratory problems, and some cancers, including breast, colon and endometrial cancers. Several factors besides sleep contribute to obesity. The CDC lists genes, metabolism, behavior, environment, culture and socioeconomic status all as affecting a person's body weight.

The show has its first performance at 7:30 p.m., today in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre. Drama that won Pulitzer considers human history Theater students will perform "The Skin of Our Teeth," a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Thornton Wilder, this weekend and next weekend at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. The presentation of the drama, which presents human experience throughout history, proceeds in a nonlinear fashion. The story line ends exactly as it began, representing the recurring pattern and cyclical nature of human existence. It recounts events like the ice Age and a great flood, but it is set in New Jersey during the 1930s. The play recounts these historic events through the experience of an American family, which struggles to survive during difficult times. Matthew Crooks, Stillwell sophomore, said the third act, which centered on wartime. was particularly relevant to the situation of America today. The characters question why people fight and why wars last so long. "It rounds out the discussion on wartime, instead of launching it into partisan boxes," Crooks said. "I find that particularly refreshing." Performances of the play are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and Nov. 2 through 4, and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $10 for students. Darla Slinke WRITER (CONTINUED FROM 1A) The program is dedicated to making education available for those who traditionally did not have the means to attend universities. Thomas worked closely with Tom Lorenz, associate chair of the English department, while attending the University. Lorenz said Thomas' student work tended to paint humane portraits of class and race relations in the modern setting. Lorenz said he worked with Thomas on screenplay projects, including several scripts produced and performed by the University's theater department. "He always had interesting characters and interesting conversations," he said. This focus on class distinctions has carried into his modern work. As a staff writer, Thomas collaborates with a small group of other writers who pitch story lines and scenes. One writer is then put in charge of writing an entire episode with the help of the others. Themes of separation and the effects of reconnecting with people you have left behind will be prevalent throughout, he said. His first episode will air Dec. 5, barring a changing of schedule. The episode will focus on one student's return to the home he left several years before, Thomas said. Thomas said everyone in his profession had the dream of conceiving one idea so great it evolved into a movie. His passion, however, lies in "Friday Night Lights" Tuesdays at 7 p.m. CST NBC Sunflower Channel 8 the communal effort of television writing. "When writing for television, you feed off the energy of the others in the room." Thomas said. "It's a team effort in every sense."
