Finals Week and late-night study-ing oten go hand-in-hand. Thereare some nighttime snacks that willactually help sleep-deprived stu-dents study hard late into the night and others that will only makethem wish or bedtime.

Ann Chapman, the dietitian atthe Wellness Resource Center atWatkins Memorial Health Center,said students are tempted to snackduring stressul times, especiallyinals week, because ood can besoothing.

How do you eel when you puta Hersheys Kiss in your mouth?Its instant gratiication, Chapmansaid. All the measures o stress arereduced sli ghtly.

However, Patty Quinlan, thenursing supervisor at Watkins, saidoods high in sugar and at are the

last thing students should be eatingwhile studying. Quinlan said theast oods and comort oods stu-dents oten turn to would only slowthem down.

That cookie, that doughnut,theyre just not helpul to pushthrough inals week, Quinlan said.Theyre going to make you eelmore lethargic and decrease yourconcentration.

Instead, Chapman suggestedmunching on oods high in proteinand carbohydrates, like cheese andcrackers. Chapman said the car-bohydrates in the crackers wouldboost blood sugar quickly and givestudents a little burst o energy. Thebody breaks carbohydrates downquickly, which is where the cheesecomes into play. The protein incheese takes longer to digest, so itsgoing to provide students with ener-

gy or about three to our hours.Barbara Bell, a sophomore rom

Lancaster, Texas, said she usuallydoesnt eat when she is stressed.

I guess I do the opposite oeveryone else, Bell said.

However, Chapman suggestedstudents put ood in their systemsabout every our hours.

Just like a car needs gasoline, thebody needs glucose, Chapman said.Your glucose level drops belowwhat it needs to be i you go withoutood or three to our hours.

Patricia Denning, the chie osta at Watkins, said breakast wasespecially important during inalsweek.

Studies prove that students inthe classroom perorm better whentheyve had breakast, Denningsaid. I youre going to spend allthis time and eort, I think itsworth setting your alarm 10 to 15minutes early to get a healthy break-ast.

Chapman warned students toavoid stress-eating while theystudy. Chapman said students oten

eat as a means o procrastination orstress relie.

Students oten eat while theyrestudying because theyre nervousabout lunking exams, Chapmansaid. So then they eat constantly,

which is really unhealthy. Those arecalories you dont need.

Chapman said when studentssnack during inals week, theyshould take a break rom studyingand simply ocus on the ood theyreeating. Then, when they go back tostudying, they can concentrate andwont be shoveling in extra caloriesin the process.

I students do ind that they cantstudy without eating, Chapman rec-ommended they leave their apart-ment and go to the library, so oodwould be out o sight and out omind. She suggested students take a100-calorie snack with them in casethey do get hungry.

Warren Corman strolls down Jayhawk Boulevardon a sunny autumn morning, a chilly breeze at hisback.

Wisps of his grayish-white hair peek out frombeneath his navy blue ball cap the front readingWe fight, we build in bold yellow embroidery.

Hes wearing khakis with a blue windbreaker over anavy button-down shirt buttoned to the top button,but no tie that brings out his soft, blue eyes. He hasa gentle chuckle that can put anyone at ease.

Each building he passes, from Bailey Hall withits facade of Oread limestone to Strong Hall and itsglazed, stain-resistant terracotta, helps define theUniversitys character.

Each building, in turn, helps define WarrenCorman.

Corman has had a hand in the design or develop-ment of nearly every building project at the Universityin the last half century. From Allen Fieldhouse in 1955to the dorms on Daisy Hill in the 1960s to WescoeHall in 1974 to the School of Pharmacy that openedthis August.

Corman himself is an institution: 84 years old,the University architect and special assistant to theChancellor, designer of the Santa Fe Depot in northLawrence, husband to his wife Mary for nearly 30

years, father of six, grandfather of 22, great-grandfa-ther of six and World War II veteran.

On Thursday, hell add one more descriptive noteto his long list of accomplishments, incredible as thatmay seem.

After 63 years as the king of design and architectureat the University and across Kansas, Warren Cormanwill retire.

Hell climb into his silver 2008 Honda coupe inparking space 002 behind Strong Hall and make a trippast the elegant and striking buildings on campus anddrive into the sunset.

As he travels down Bob Billings toward his house

two miles away, hell see Fraser Hall in his rearviewmirror marking the top of Mount Oread.

Hell leave behind more than just a job. Hell leavea storied career and tales about how campus cameto be.
