Sleep deprivation impedes health, academic performance Katie Nortman & Joe Terrell The Battalion
O
ver the course of four years, college students learn to be professionals at multitasking — expected to navigate a minefield of tests, papers and projects. Oftentimes the stress can pile up, forcing students to prioritize. Inevitably, all-night study sessions are pulled and inordinate amounts of caffeine are consumed. But most students don’t realize the negative effects sleep deprivation can have in the long run. According to a research study conducted by Student Health Services,
less than 8 percent of A&M students said they get enough sleep to feel rested. Almost a quarter of the research sample reported they had received a lower grade on an exam in a course or dropped a course due to sleep difficulties. Adults need an average of eight
hours of sleep a night. A study in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that 70 percent of students receive less than the recommended hours of sleep. The study also found that 20 percent of college students pull all-nighters once a month and 35 percent of students stay up until 3 a.m. at least once a week. “I rarely ever get eight hours of sleep,” said senior university studies major Christian Stolte. “I spend most of my weekends trying to catch up.” Some students said sleep can be a waste of time. “I see it that if I sleep eight hours a day, then that’s one-third of my life I’m going to spend in bed,” said senior
agronomy major Logan Manning. “I don’t know if I want that, especially when I’m in college.” Studies from the American Psychological Association show that overall sleep deprivation impairs human functioning. Partial sleep deprivation has a more profound effect on functioning than either long-term or short-term sleep deprivation. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania discovered that people who had less than six hours of sleep for two weeks were as cognitively impaired as people who had been awake continuously for 48 hours.

Candidates rumble over economy, Libya
Senate to present concealed gun carry bill
Barrett House The Battalion The presidential candidates circled one another, delivering political jab after political jab to make the second presidential debate a fight night of character defense and accusatory right hooks. Amid the issues discussed, the debate was characterized by a back-and-forth banter that had since been unseen in the 2012 presidential campaigns. The contentious debate exacerbated the Hempstead, N.Y., “town hall” format, which allowed both President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney to move about the round stage freely. The debate opened with a
question from college student Jeremy Epstein, who asked what the two candidates would do to help him land a job upon graduation. Romney said one of his goals as president would be to help young people — who have been struggling over the last four years — find jobs. “The key thing is to make sure you can get a job when you get out of school,” Romney said. “And what’s happened over the last four years has been very, very hard for America’s young people.” Obama said creating jobs for all Americans is one of many things he can do to ensure those like Epstein have a bright future. “What I want to do, is build on

attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Libya. The issues and questions asked by undecided voters in the audience gave a plethora of opportunities for the two candidates to turn and attack one another, whether it was Romney criticizing Obama’s See Presidential on page 3
Professors, students talk art over brown bag lunch Cassandra Fournet Special to The Battalion Student and faculty art enthusiasts brown bag it the third Thursday of every month to open discussion about art history. This Thursday, Winslow Homer’s work will be the topic of discussion. “The main purpose of the ‘Brown Bag Lunch’ is to get a conversation started about art. Art inspires, enhances creativity and expands the mind,” said Lynn McDaniel communication specialist of the University Art Department. “We want students to
stop their daily routine and see something different than what they usually see.” Stephen Caffey, art historian and assistant professor of architecture, will head an updated presentation called “Winslow Homer’s Winding The Clock and Female Sexuality: A Study and Discussion of Homer’s 1881 Watercolor” on Thursday. At this discussion, Caffey will explain the interpretation of Winslow Homer’s watercolor and reveal new information about the painting.

The Battalion Student Senate will present a bill Wednesday night that calls on the Texas A&M University System and the Texas State Legislature to allow anyone with a valid concealed handgun license to carry a handgun on campus. The bill claims that the school is not safe merely because it is labeled as gunfree, as it doesn’t hinder others who wish to cause harm from illegally bringing weapons on campus. It also states that University Police are reactive, rendering them ineffective in protecting students and faculty from the multitude of crimes that occur on and off campus. The bill proposes that students, faculty and guests — in accordance with the Texas Penal Code — who have a concealed handgun license are currently allowed to carry on campus, but cannot take their weapons into buildings, which adheres to University policy. This will be the bill’s first reading. If the bill is sent to committee, it will be voted on in following Senate meetings. Senators will also consider a Fair Printing Fees Bill, which requests that students have access to all printers using semester print allocations.

Coaches, players address challenges as LSU bout nears Michael Rodriguez The Battalion When A&M moved to the SEC, the game scheduled for Saturday against No. 6 LSU (6-1, 2-1) represents one of the primary reasons the move was made. The level of competition is the best in the country, and the Aggies (5-1, 2-1) have a chance to make a statement this weekend with a win. “We haven’t played LSU in a while, certainly not at Kyle Field,” said A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin.“I think our team has put ourselves in a position that not only is it exciting for fans, but it’s a meaningful game in the western division.” With a win on Saturday, the Aggies would be behind the likes of Alabama and Mississippi State for the SEC West crown. The Aggies will play both teams in the season, but for now the focus will be on solving the Tiger’s eighthranked scoring defense. “LSU has such great athletes and great players they can pretty much do whatever they want,” A&M offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said.“It will be a challenge.” The battle will be at its apex down in the trenches as the Aggie offensive line led by NFL draft prospect

Manziel led the Aggies in the wild shootout against then No. 23 Louisiana Tech with 576 total yards and six touchdowns. In six collegiate
games, Manziel has won the SEC Offensive Player of the Week five times while amassing 2,356 total yards and 24 touchdowns. As each game goes by, Manziel is making a case for further recognition and even mention as a Heisman candidate. “His progression has been steady,” Sumlin said. “On things that we couldn’t get done in the first game, we’ve really made some strides. He’s been in the pocket and gone through some progressions in the past couple of weeks on early downs and on third downs.” Manziel and the Aggies
enter the LSU contest amidst continued doubt A&M can compete at the highest level in its new conference. Senior offensive lineman Patrick Lewis said the team is ready to prove Aggie football has arrived in the SEC. “We plan to prove people wrong,” Lewis said. “During the offseason we decided we were going to work harder to prove people wrong. We came together as a team. We didn’t come to the SEC to just to be a doormat. We want to compete and win championships. We want to win.”

“I’ve pulled probably five allnighters since I’ve been in college,” Manning said. “I think sometimes it helped, and sometimes it didn’t. I have a job interview later in the week and I know that if I don’t get enough sleep I won’t be able to focus on the questions.” Many students are unaware of the ramifications that can result from a lack of sleep. “Sleep affects cognition, anxiety, mood and overall health,” said psychology professor Mary Meagher. “It alters your metabolic and hormone function and can even alter your pain sensitivity.” Sleep deprivation has many unexpected long-term effects that the average college student may not consider when pulling an all-nighter for an exam. Studies from the Harvard University Medical School revealed a link between short sleep duration and weight gain. “[Sleep deprivation] is associated with an increased risk for contracting type 2 diabetes and obesity,” Meagher said. “People who are sleep deprived tend to gain weight. It’s also tied to chronic inflammation, which is associated with heart disease, stroke, arthritis, cancer and other diseases.” Along with these physical illnesses, a lack of sleep can also be associated with many mental health problems. “There’s a strong correlation
between sleep disturbance and psychological disturbance,” Meagher said. “It can be a trigger for an episode of bi-polar disorder. For most people it’s just a transient thing, but for some it can be a trigger. Sleep disturbances can be symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorders.” A lack of deep restorative sleep shortens your REM stage of sleep. REM deprivation is something that is associated with problems with memory, work performance and feelings of decreased quality of life. Sleep deprivation can take different tolls on different people. While some people feel the effects right away, others may never feel a difference. “If I miss an hour or so of sleep for a day, I feel nothing,” said sophomore computer science major Zachary Dunn. “If I miss four to six hours, I feel generally tired for a day and if I get three or less hours of sleep I feel unsteady, slow, tired and my reaction time is cut. If I ever go for several days with this pattern I will almost fall asleep while driving, even while blasting music. I definitely feel more intelligent when I have sleep for several days.” Sleep deprivation can be a result of a variety of causes, from psychological factors such as stress and depression to lifestyle choices such as drinking caffeinated beverages or exercising right before sleeping. But sleep deprivation can also be a symptom of a much more serious condition. “In the last year, 427 students were diagnosed with insomnia,”

After a long week of midterm testing, junior health major Josh McKenna sprawls out on a couch near the Hall of Honor Tuesday evening in the MSC. said Dr. David Teller, associate director for medical services at Beutel Health Center. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is often characterized by a person’s inability to fall asleep or stay asleep. It can be a temporary health issue or a chronic disorder. Students who have difficulty falling asleep three nights a week are advised by Student Health Services to talk to a physician. “It’s not a normal thing to be diagnosed with,” Teller said. “We

The debate reached an emotional apex when audience member Kerry Ladka brought the focus on the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya, asking who was it that denied requested security. It was here that Romney, attempting to inflict damage on his opponent, accused the President of dismissing the attack as not being a terrorist attack

Obama responded out of personal offense. “The suggestion that anybody in my team … would play politics or mislead when we’ve lost four of our own, Governor, is offensive,” Obama said. “That’s not what we do. That’s not what I do as president, that’s not what I do as Commander-in-Chief.” Students had the opportunity to watch the debate as the Wiley Lecture Series held a viewing party at Rev’s in the MSC. Sarah Armstrong, senior political science major and chair of Wiley, said it is one of the organization’s goals to make an event like this accessible to students because of the importance of their involvement. “It’s up to our generation — and the students that are going through this election

right now have the potential to either become very involved and knowledgeable,” Armstrong said. “Or they can continue going with that path of being the silent majority and not playing a crucial role in American politics.” Students who watched the debate, such as freshman political science major Reid Geissen, said there was a noticeable change in Obama’s performance in response to a prepared Romney. “Romney stayed on point with the same sharp attacks that he brought against Obama in the last debate,” Geissen said. “The only difference was that Obama did not take those attacks lying down as much.”

Alternative anchors TV hosts popularize politics among youth Nina Ewing Special to The Battalion Some Texas A&M students are finding an alternative way to get their information on the presidential campaign outside of traditional news media outlets. Programs such as “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” “The Colbert Report” and “Saturday Night Live” appeal to students who want to stay updated on the campaign news, but find traditional news uninteresting and uninformative. The role of political entertainment television is a topic of interest for Dale Rice, the director of journalism studies at Texas A&M. Rice said that political entertainment programming help engage students into the political discussion and debate. “We know that the audiences are particularly young and educated college students,” Rice said. “They tend to have a higher inciAutumn Rizzo — THE BATTALION

“I have uncovered some really extraordinary information about the painting that has radically altered my understanding of this individual painting and Homer’s entire body of work,” Caffey said. Winslow Homer was an American realist artist in the late 19th century. Caffey said Homer’s painting “Winding The Clock” is unlike any other work of art. “There were a number of watercolor paintings,” Caffey said.

“But we do not have any other examples of single women in interior spaces shown from this closeup vantage point.” A picture of the painting was published one time in the 1980s, making it highly rare. Caffey said Winslow Homer was a master of watercolor. “He could achieve things with watercolor that other artists were not able to, such as the color white and the effects of three-dimensions,” Caffey said.

“Before watching the show I could be considered a moderate individual,” Stuart said. “I am now quite liberal, in the sense that I believe in the grouped stereotypes that are generally associated with more liberal individuals.” Rice said even though these shows are not real news, it is good when students get their information from entertainment shows because anything that helps improve the level of political awareness and involvement is beneficial. But Rice emphasized that these shows are only mock news, and their primary purpose is entertainment. “They should augment the information they’re getting from ‘The Daily Show,’ ‘The Colbert Report’ and ‘Saturday Night Live’ with unbiased, reliable news sights that can give them the facts and the nuance of issues and policies that are also a part of the political debate,” Rice said.

dence of voting and participation in political organizations and attendance of political events.” In 2004, the Pew Research Center did a study and found that during the presidential campaign, a quarter of the people who responded in the poll said that they got a portion of their news from Comedy Central or “Saturday Night Live.” Since then, studies have focused in on the audiences of these types of shows. “I like how news can be entertaining,” said Ramy Moaness Saleh, graduate mechanical engineering major. “I like how the shows display politicians’ short memory and flip-flopping. The shows make more sense than mainstream media and partisan media most of the time.” Some students admit that certain entertainment television shows have swayed their political views.
