Advising center makes switch
School of Education moves counsel office

Rachel Thurman seeks advice from Mary Merkowitz, graduate pre-education adviser, at the new advising office for the School of Education.

The School of Education's pre-education counseling program is on the move.
With the cost of a little paint, carpet and blinds, the pre-education counseling program has relocated from 115 Bailey Hall to 105 Bailey, which is nearly twice as large. Pre-education counselors Mary Merkowitz and Keith Smith are enthusiastic about the change.
"By virtue of the fact that we have more space, it will allow for more creativity," said Smith, Kansas City, Kan., senior. "Now the program is more user-friendly because we have more room to do advising."
There are about 100 pre-education students every semester, and the move from the 6-by-12 room was necessary for pre-education advisers to provide individual and group advising.
The newly painted, mauve-carpeted converted classroom is complete with four tables, more than 13 plastic chairs, seven file cabinets and a computer that enables Merkwitz and Smith to surf the KU system to tell which classes are open and that will allow pre-education students easier access to information about their major. The center is a success with pre-education students and has received about 100 visitors since the beginning of the school year.
Although the pre-education advising program will remain the same, the School of Education has added another adviser to the staff to help the many students who flood the office each semester.
Chris Anderson, Overland Park junior, has used the pre-education advising center three times this semester.
"I have found the advisers to be very helpful, because they seem to care about your future," Anderson said.
In the past, pre-education advising infor
mation was not as accessible, and the old advising center created an environment that was intimidating to students, said Merkowitz, Lawrence doctoral candidate.
Jill Fisher, Salina sophomore and pre-education major in special education, said that she was not aware of the center but that she planned to use it in the future.
"I expect reassurance from the advising program and believe that is what I am going to get," Fisher said.
Smart choices can prevent weight gain
By Ashleigh Roberts
Kansan staff writer
Exercise and good judgment prevent calorie counting, fat-free groceries and dessert-less meals, said Ann Chapman, Watkins dietian.
Chapman cited increased consumption in fast food, beer drinking, and late-night eating combined with less physical activity as the reasons college freshmen gain weight.
"Students coming into college trying to avoid weight gain need to have a healthy diet and make sensible decisions. There is a world of food in the dorms, but it's up to you," Chapman said.
"Every night there are burgers, pizza and other high fat foods, but they also offer fruits, salads and healthy sandwiches. The dors have to plan their menus for a large diversity of people, but it doesn't mean you have to eat everything that's there," she said.
Chapman said to look at the menus in advance and choose a meal that is balanced. If you always get a hamburger and french fries, cut the fries and try a salad. It cuts the fat grams in half, she said.
Beer and binge drinking play a big role in college weight gain. Many students drink all night and around 1 a.m. they get hungry and go to Village Inn for breakfast, Chapman
said. The body doesn't need four meals a day, and eating at night is the worst time to eat, especially because students tend to eat the worst types of food, she said.
Weight gain does seem to be more prevalent for college women, but Chapman could not pinpoint the cause. However, she said the difference in the physical activity level is an important factor because college men tend to be more active and involved in more intramural activities.
"I don't exercise as much, because I don't have time," said Anne Porter, Ottawa freshman. "So I have to be more careful about what I eat."
The metabolism also begins to slow during college, Chapman said. The exact age varies and it is sooner for women, but everybody begins to lose lean muscle tissue every decade after age 20, she said. But Chapman recommended aerobics and resistance muscle mass loss exercise to maintain an active metabolism and slow the body's natural process.
Chapman did not recommend counting calories, eating fat-free foods or strict diets.
"They can have a place in your diet, but I don't think they're magical. It can be taken to extremes and you need some fat everyday. It's essential to your diet," she said.
