Free program teaches students to eat healthy
SHERYL MILLER

A program offered to KU students called Eat Well Live Well aims to teach students how to eat healthy and implement physical activity into their lives for free.
Eat Well Live Well is a six-week weight management program free to KU students. In the program, students meet either one-on-one or in small groups once a week at Watkins Memorial Health Center with education program coordinator Kelsey Fortin.
Each week, a different health topic is discussed, including understanding MyPlate, healthy eating on a budget, physical activity, building healthy meals and healthy
options in restaurants.
Students then set one nutrition and one fitness goal to achieve for the following week and report their progress at their next meeting.
to track progress, the program also includes the option to take measurements such as weight, body fat percentage, circumference measurements and blood pressure during the first, third and sixth week. Students can also do a one-time session instead and have it be more focused on the students' needs.
Fortin said it is important that students use this resource while it is free. Fortin expressed her concerns for student health and said that less than 6 percent of the
student population consumes the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day needed for proper nourishment.
Fortin also said that there is a lot of mixed information regarding nutrition.
"It is important that students receive information backed by research." Fortin said.
Busy schedules, dorm food and tight budgets are all perceived barriers to proper nutrition in college, but Fortin said that with proper planning, it is possible to achieve good nutrition habits and eat healthy on a budget, even with a full schedule.
"There is a huge misconception that eating healthy is too expensive, which simply isn't true," said Fortin.
"I always tell people in our first meeting that this isn't easy and you will get as much out of the program as you put into it. A lifestyle change isn't going to happen overnight. It takes hard work and dedication to create a behavior change," Fortin said.
Students can expect each session to run about an hour in length.
The hard work and dedication seems to pay off. Bianca Couto, a junior from Brazil, recently finished the program and highly recommends it to her fellow peers.
"I learned how to choose the right ingredients for my meals, how to balance portions and how to choose healthy meals," Couto said.
Before the program, Bianca noted that late-night unhealthy snacking was a problem. Now, she is able to create her own healthy snacks, using vegetables, whole grains and fruits. She also notes that Eat Well Live Well helped her be more active.
"In the beginning I was meeting my nutrition goals, but I failed at my exercise goals. After a serious conversation with Kelsey, I started to exercise more and the results followed." Couto said.
Couto said the program helped her lose weight, feel better and have more energy.
Robin Williams' wife, children dispute estate

SAN FRANCISCO — Robin Williams' children and wife have gone to court in a fight over the late comedian's estate.
In papers filed in December in San Francisco Superior Court, Williams' wife, Susan, says some of the late actor's personal items were taken without her permission and asks the court to exclude the contents of the Tiburon home that she shared with Williams from the jewelry, memorabilia and other items Williams said the children should have.
In this Nov. 13, 2011 file photo, Susan Schneider, from left, Robin Williams, and Zelda Williams arrive at the premiere of "Happy Feet Two" at Grauman's Chinese Theater, in Los Angeles. Williams' children and wife are fighting over the late comedian's estate in a California court. In papers filed in December 2014 in San Francisco Superior Court, Williams' wife, Susan, accuses the comedian's children from two previous marriages of taking items without her permission.

The children, Zachary, Zelda and Cody, counter that Susan Williams is "adding insult to a terrible injury" by trying to change the trust agreement and rob them of the late actor's clothing and other personal items.
"The Williams' children are heartbroken that Petitioner, Mr. Williams' wife of less than three years, has acted against his wishes by challenging the plans he so carefully made for his estate," attorneys for the children said in court papers.
James Wagstaffe, an attorney for Susan Williams, said Monday that his client was only seeking guidance from the court about the meaning of certain terms in the trust.
An attorney for the children, Allan Mayer, declined to

Williams died at his Tiburon home in August. The coroner ruled his death a suicide that resulted from asphyxia caused by hanging.

struggles with substance abuse, and he had entered a substance abuse program shortly before his death. According to the coroner's report, his wife told an investigator that Williams did not go there because of recent drug or alcohol abuse, but rather to reaffirm the principles of his rehabilitation.

and awards in the entertainment industry and some other specific personal items, according to court documents. Susan Williams says that because he wanted her to continue to live at the Tiburon home, it makes sense that he intended only for his children to have the specific personal items he delineated that were kept at another home he owned in Napa.
"Any other interpretation would lead to Mrs. Williams' home being stripped while Mrs. Williams still lives there," her attorney wrote.
The children dispute that interpretation, saying there were no specific limits on the location of those items.
The two sides also disagree over items put in storage, watches Williams owned and his memorabilia.

students to learn the history of World War I, and offers program opportunities to students who are interested in that subject. Graham said it was also the right time to raise the awareness of The National World War I Museum located in Kansas City, Mo.
"I think the best choices are the books that are well-written and lend themselves to dialogue about the number of different subjects that surround and [are] inside that book — I think this book does this," said Graham. "The book and Hemingway together allow us to have difficult dialogues about the important conversations the University is having, will continue to have and needs to have. I think this book lends itself to those important dialogues."

women have to think about their personal safety more than men," Wagner said. "I think it's a really good step and it will make everyone in the area feel more secure."
Both Wagner and Student Body President Morgan Said submitted a request early in the semester to Westar Energy, which then installed the new light pole and increased the wattage at no cost to the University.
"The reason why it took so long and was so contentious is because it is city property, but heavily located by students so it was a battle for who would pay for it," Said said. "But it didn't cost the student body any dollars, which is the cherry on top."
Westar Energy had no comment at this time as to
why it installed the light at no cost to the University.
For Carolyn Bandle, a junior from Lawrence, this light was needed because the area around the scholarship halls is a concern for residents.
"...it's just kind of general knowledge that women have to think about their personal safety more than men."
MIRANDA WAGNER
Student Body Vice President
"I don't park on the south side of 14th because some of the areas are too dark... especially being right by the bars, you never know who could be around and who you can't see," Bandle said. "I think the light is definitely necessary."
