Hal Stein, Chicago senior, started preparing himself eight weeks ago for the annual Mr. Kansas bodybuilding competition in Wichita
The 21 year-old senior, majoring in exercise physiology, placed fifth in the Nautilus lightweight division Saturday.
"Competition was really tough," Stein said. "I have to prepare mentally and physically for competition." He said he asked to eight weeks before competition.
About 75 people, 50 men and 25 women, participated in the Mr. Kansas competition, a beginning-level contest.
Beginning level competitions do not test for steroids, a drug used to enhance a person's size and strength
"I wish they would test for steroids, but they don't — only at the national level." Stein said.
In a bodybuilding competition, the judges look for body symmetry definition, size and form. Each com position has its own set of poses, showing all sides of the body.
Jimmy Cretien of Tonganake took second in the open lightweight division. He said he started training in the division at age 16, which was his fifth competition.
At last year's competition, Creten placed second behind Ernesto Hodson, last year's overall winner and this year's guest poser, in the light
Judy Alexander, Lawrence resident, took third in the women's lightweight division
lightweight division.
"I always enter the lightweight division," she said.
Alexander works out six days a week for about two hours a day.
Sten trained twice a day for this year's competition, once in the morning and again at night
This was his second competition.
His first was in June in the heart of
the Midwest competition held in
Chicago. He then competed in
this place in the lightweight category
"My diet is strict 1 eat lots of carbohydrates and very little fat." Stein said.
The lightweight category required that the Mr. Kansas competitors weigh less than 165 pounds. Stein's weight for competition was 153
Stein's diet during the period before the competition consisted of a bowl of beans and a banana for breakfast, one small can of tuna for lunch, and one piece of chicken and a plain baked potato for dinner
"I will continue to train," Stein said. "I might enter next year. It depends on how my training is going
and how I look
"Being a student and training and excelling in school is a plus. I try to be real positive about everything I do."
Stein started bodybuilding four years ago. He said that it was the most difficult sport he had partic
pated in
"When I was younger, I was training for the Olympics in judo. Through that training, I started to see my body changing," he said. "I liked what I saw, and being tired of being pushed around by people, I started to work out. Now it's like a religion to me."

It was the first activity for the KU organization. Its members worked on the house that had been destroyed during the war.
Habitat is an organization that helps low-income people buy affordable housing. The organization of volunteer workers raises the money and materials needed to build such homes, sells the homes to local, low-income families at cost
Mike Wake, Lawrence graduate student, and Ganay Johnson, Kansas City, Kan., senior, formed the KU organization. Wake has been involved in Lawrence WildlifeWorks and worked for International Habitat Work this summer.
Wolfe said he and Johnson thought KU students would be interested in Habitat's activities. They also wanted to bring students into the Lawrence community.
"Many times students stay with other students," he said. "This is an opportunity for students to get together with Lawrence townpeople and work on a worthwhile project together."

Meyer said that by joining this project, she could meet many people.
"I just like the community spirit," she said. Esther Burrs, Lawrence resident, is the new owner of The Nest at 750 South Broadway.
"but I know how to really say it, but I am happy that KU is involved in it," she said.

Lawrence Habitat required her to spend 300 hours, called "sweat equity" to work on the renovation of her

organized by the school. Dick Beck retired Lawrence physician and a member of Lawrence Habitat, said many KU students had been involved in the organization's projects.
"I think this is a very positive experience for them as individuals, as well as a very significant contribution to a very worthwhile community project," he said.
KU Habitat plans to have a fund raising campaign on campus in early November to help raise money for Lawrence Habitat's fourth project, Wolfe said.
The members of the KU organization hope to raise $1 from every student and faculty member, he said.

More women engineers needed, dean says
Kensan staff writer
By Amy Zamierowski
At the University of Kansas, about 13 percent of the engineering students are women he said.
The number of engineers is steadily declining at a time when more are needed to help solve problems related to energy and the environment, said Marylee Southard, associate chemical and petroleum engineering.
Carl Locke, dean of the KU School of Engineering, said the nation needed to recruit more women into the engineering field to help meet the United States' need for new engineers
The KU chapter of the National Society of Women Engineers was host to the society's Region I fall conference last weekend. About 70 women from 17 universities in seven states will attend to attend the annual conference.
Southern said the aim of the society was to recruit women into the engineering school and then retain them until graduation.
Women need to be encouraged
that this is a profession where they can make an excellent salary and help society. Southard said. The job requires not only good math, and it is only going to increase
Southard said that the shortage of engineers was due to declining birth rates and a decrease in the number of male engineers. Also, many people do not want to apply math and science in their profession.
The society also helps women form a support group with other women in the engineering field.
