Ten out of 15 randomly selected U students said they often get less than three hours of sleep during finals or midterms. Most of the students also, said that it would not be possible for them to complete all of their work and also get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep each night. One of those students is Andrea Busto, a sophomore majoring in exercise and sport science. "Professors don't seem to realize we have other classes and overload us with work," Busto said. "Sleep is important, but sometimes not sleeping is the only way to get things done." Razvan Platon, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering, agreed.

"There may only be four of us in there, but all four of us would appreciate all the time we can get." Colleges are requested to submit proposals each fall describing the current labs, including how many students use the lab. According to Kessler, it is up to the individual labs to determine the hours of operation. Mandatory student computing fees pay for the operation of existing student computer labs and to create new labs, including college-specific facilities such as those in Orson Spencer Hall. ; General Manager • j.sorensen@chronkle.utah.edu Director of Advertising • thurtado@chionide.utah.edu Advertising 801581.7041 News 801 581.NEWS r.vester@ .chronicle.utah.edu Fax 801 581.FAXX EDITOR IN CHIEF Matthew Piper ASST.
