(Question:  Is the presidential race a
{battle between the lesser of two evils ?
'Pretty much. They both don't have
too much to say The whole campaign
is like a dogfight; they jutt teem to be
finding faults with each other rather
than making a ttandon"tomething.*
Karen Smith, tophe-aere, accaun-
tlng:'No, I like Reagan. I think he'd
be a,strong president. I think he'd do
lot better than Carter.*
i
vltkxi: 'No I don't think so. I don't
think people should look at it as a
'tester of two evils."
Annabdle Lopei, sophomore, un-
derides: 'I don't think so. It's just
some characteristics between the
major candidates.*
Lucy   Sullivan,   acrtior,
'Yes,   I   wish  there  was  l
choice.'
Susan Steger, graduate: "In some
respects, yes. I'd like to see more of
the candidates have a. chance. Not just
between Republicans and Democrats.
I'd like to see Anderson included in
athe debates.*

The fat of the matter
Each pound of your body weight is
equal to 3,500 calories. If you weigh
150 pounds, you are a reality of 525.-
000 calories. Do feel good about this
massive calculation if you (1) feel
healthy, (2) are free from any disease.
(3) have energy left over at the end of
each day, and (4) generally like your
physical self.
Should there be an outside chance
that you are often without enough
energy to accomplish your day's
goals, are often a victim of the com¬
mon cold, often experience 'valleys of
fatigue' and avoid thought of your
physical self, it is possible that you
need to reconsider your weight. Sane
experimentation with your caloric in¬
take and output may lead to an enligh¬
tening behavioral modification of you,
by you. The truth of the matter is you
may need to weigh more...or less...
Question: How do you feel <
If we had our choice in your modifi¬
cation-image study, you'd start by
visiting your family physician and as¬
king his/her opinion. Remember, you
will become and are what you eat. It is
not too far afield to suggest that lazi¬
ness, disinterest In life, falling asleep
in the library and failing to meet ex¬
pected academic goals may be be¬
cause your diet consists of 'junk
food'. Let us astume this is not true;
let's assume you can safely experi¬
ment within a range of plus or minus
ten pounds over a time period of four
eight weeks.
Begin your experiment by calmly
keeping track of what you drink,
chew, and eat for a period of one
whole week. As you become good at
jotting down "eat notes" to yourself
add to these notes how much of each
item you eat. Become sensitive to
what is a cupful, a tablespoon, eight
as compared to sixteen ounces, a slice
etc. Next you need to do some calcu¬
lation using a caloric reference chart.
Please be sure the reference you use
has the approval seal of the Federal
Drug and Food Administration Com¬
mission. The reference will provide
you with caloric value fo food items as
well as appropriate multiples for
amounts eaten.
Now total the calories for each of
the respective week days. Do not
get excited if the totals vary drastic¬
ally from one day to the next. This is a
problem whcih can be resolved by
merely being sensitive to the need for
a routine, even consumption of nutri¬
tious food as compared to a fasting
verses glutinous habit pattern of the
same. Total all seven figures and div¬
ide by seven to discover what your av¬
erage, dairy caloric intake is. If the
figure is between 2,100 to 3,500 you
are within a normal range. In other
words you are sustaining life within a
safe range of calorie input.
The next stage of this 'fat* of the
matter process it to decide (1) what do
you want to weigh and (2) to multiply
this 'wish* weight by ten or eleven.
The 'ten or eleven' represents a set
number of calories per pound needed
to sustain necessary life functions.
Question: Does the 'wish weight'
equal the needed calories for life? Is
your actual weight your wish?
Finally, use your plus or minus
weight decision with a plus or minus
500 calories per day figure for the
next seven days of calorie counting. If
vou delete or add 500 per day, you will
lose or gain one pound in a week; in
month you will have...well... you fig¬
ure it out. Caution] Do Not plan to
lose or gain more than two per week.
To do so will bring on a behavior mod¬
ification with which you will be dis¬
pleased. Use you intake notes to man¬
age what the 500 calories or less will
be. Remember to keep in your diet
food from the seven major nutrition
categories. If you're in the 'add
gang*, increase in the low sugar, low
fat areas.
Summary; 3,500 calories. ■ one
pound; multiply your desired weight
by 10/11; compare this figure with
your average caloric intake for seven
days; use a desired weight target
within a ten pound +1 or-of what you
actually weigh. The October 24th
FITS article will deal with caloric out¬
put. It will illustrate for you how thirty
minutes of aerobic exercise per day
may be the same as the magic *500*.
Take care: start counting.

You're born with
nothing,
and better off that way,
Soon as you've got
something they send
someone to try and
take it away.
You can ride this road
'til dawn,
without another human
being in sight,
Just kids wasted on
something in the night
