2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 18, 2000 NATION/WORLD MSA Continued from Page 1 purpose of education for the University commu- nity, representatives made many amendments to the resolution. During a discussion of an amendment by LSA Rep. Shari Katz, Ann Arbor resident and Pales- tinian supporter Blaine Gleman burst out in a tirade against Katz, causing him to be forcibly removed. "You goddamn Nazis - don't you speak for me," Gleman yelled. "I am as much as a Jew as you are." After multiple amendments, Rackham Rep. Jessica Curtin tried to withdrawal the resolution she originally proposed. "It has been completely wrecked from which it was originally intended," Curtin said. Another important vote that took place last night was the amendment to the budget alloca- tion for the Ann Arbor Tenants Union. The vote was tabled from last week with the purpose of finding out if the School of Social Work would agree to its role in the amendment. Some Social Work students would be placed at the AATU office to do required community ser- vice fieldwork -with each student saving the AATU $5,120. This practice would start next semester as a way to stop the past practice of MSA being the AATU's primary source of fund- IDTERS Continued from Page 1 from the greasy food until after the exam." East Quad residents and room- mates Erin Hill, an LSA sophomore and LSA junior Kristen Johnson both wear "lucky" items to their exams. "I wear my lucky necklace that I wear whenever I am nervous about something," Hill said. Johnson, on the other hand, dons her lucky rainbow socks for her exams. Some students said that eating habits are also important when studying for exams. "Before I start studying, I drink a Pepsi and eat two little packs of Smar- ties,' RC freshman Katie Corbett said. What drives students to these bizarre methods of preparation? The answer is stress. While supersti- tious rituals may help some students in their study habits, University faculty offered more concrete methods to aid students in stress-management. First and foremost, students need to look out for their physical and mental health while studying. There are key symptoms that may be an indication of stress, said Robert Winfield, interim director for Uni- versity Health Services. Insomnia, excessive sweating, nausea, headaches, fatigue, mood swings, tension, irritability, loss of concentration and changes in eating and sleeping habits are some of the most common symptoms of an over- stressed individual. "Managing stress is mu than it may seem. Studen continue to try to get as mu possible. Usually it is p reduce your sleep by one o' at the most."

The amendment, which past 31-1, was essential to the fate of the AATU since the union would have to dissolve without funds from MSA. "I feel like they did the right thing for the stu- dent body," AATU Executive Director Amy Kul- lenburg said. Also passed last night were the "Resolution on the Regents to Maintain Support for the Univer- sity's Legal Defense of Affirmative Action" and "Alert to Student Voters: The Threat to Affirma- tive Action at U of M in the November 7 Elec- tion," which Curtin said discusses the University Board of Regents candidates' stances on affir- mative action. said.
