Fair Females Fight Flab
AT YE OLDE DOUGHNUT SHOPPE ...
"You heard us, lady, we want 3,800 calories. To go."
By Kathy Hall Kansan Staff Reporter
Whoever said calories don't count must not have had to fit into a two-piece swim suit by June. Many KU coeds plan to, however, and they say all-night bakeries and taverns aren't helping.
With calorie books in one hand and skim milk in the other, many KU women are diligent in their weight watching, with spring and sunbathing in mind.
Linda Montgomery, Kansas City junior, and her roommate Karen La Duex. Pratt junior, are having a "weight-losing" race for added incentive.
"We're trying to lose about a pound a day. I've only got six more pounds to reach my goal." Miss Montgomery said as she pointed to a chart used to gauge her progress.
At the bottom of the chart are two pictures of models wearing swim suits.
The chart listed measurement changes and stated the girls' motto: DIET, EXERCISE and WALK
"They give us inspiration." Miss Montgomery said.
"We used to eat doughnuts every other night, but not any more. I tried this "race" last year and lost 18 pounds and Karen lost 20, so the system worked." she said.
Women on the fourth floor of Oliver Hall have formed a diet and exercise club to give each other moral support in fighting the flab.
Any member found eating dessert, potatoes, bread, butter and candy or drinking coke or beer is fined. The fines range from ten cents to 25 cents.
About 20 women on the floor exercise every night at 10 p.m. Patti Johnson, Kansas City, freshman, leads the exercises which are done in the lounge area. No one may miss more than one exercise session.
The money goes to Jenny Carter, Glen Ellyn, Ill., freshman and chairman of the club.
The club may use the money to splurge on banana splits after the diet is over, according to Susie Wall, Norton freshman.
Terry Satterlee, Kansas City,
Mo., sophomore, started her
weight war soon after Christmas.
She since has lost 15 pounds.
"Doughnuts are my downfall," she said, "Last semester I worked in the Harvard personnel office in Boston, and three mornings out of the week I served doughnuts to executives. So, I naturally had a few myself."
When Miss Satterlee attended Debt College in Wisconsin, she was involved in a doughnut project to help the underclass women get out of debt.
"Every Friday 20 dozen doughnuts were delivered to my room. We were all supposed to sell them, but they could have cleared the entire debt just by the amount I bought myself," Miss Satterlee said.
Miss Satterlee admitted to another downfall and opened a sandwich of bologna, cheese and peanut butter.
Heidi Kuglin, Bern sophomore,
has dieted for about a week.
"Last semester I lived in GSP and I would go to a doughnut shop at least once a week because it was handy. I haven't been to one at all this semester," Miss Kuglin said.
Miss Kuglin has moved to Hashinger Hall since then.
Barbara Marx, Kansas City junior, said she's been "trying" to lose weight. But she also said she wouldn't turn down a doughnut if someone offered her one.
A diet-minded coed who did not wish to be identified has been following a 1,000 calorie prescribed by a doctor.
"I tell you why everybody is fat. It's because of beer, not doughnuts. There are about 169 calories in a glazed doughnut and 120 in an eight-ounce glass of beer. Most people have more than one glass of beer and that doesn't
MEXICO CITY—(UPI)—The Mexican government is trying to tame the wild yam that is the raw ingredient for birth control pills.
Yams: hip, hip, hooray!
Virtually the entire world's supply of wild yams is grown and processed in Mexico, where the basic research on the development of "The Pill" was carried out.
The Agricultural Department set up a research station in the jungles to experiment with the yam.
even count the 16 ounce glasses," she said.
Connie Forge, Leavenworth sophomore, said she's planning to diet in about a month.
"I don't overeat, I over drink. They don't serve doughnuts at the tavern." Miss Forge said.
ON SALE AT WEAVERS
According to statistics found in a familiar calorie counting book 284% pounds can be lost by June 1. On the other hand, 284% pounds can be gained by eating ten doughnuts and drinking five glasses of beer every week by June 1.
Whether it's doughnuts or beer that cause the weight problems of KU coeds, there is one item to remember when planning diets, especially if beer and doughnuts are especial favorites.
Dean allows casual dress for all Hashinger dinners
Hashinger Hall women may finally get to wear slacks to dinner.
The dean of women's office approved the Hashinger request to violate the dress code as spelled out in the Handbook of Official Policies for Women's Residence Halls. That code states women must wear "campus clothes" to weekday dinners.
Hashinger has been discussing the change since early November an sent a first request to the
dean's office in December. It was returned for lack of complete definition of "casual clothes." The Hashinger dress code committee then defined them as "slacks, jeans, Bermuda shorts, sweatshirts and similar attire."
Barb Reichmann, Omaha, Neb., junior and chairman of the committee, said the approved statement still had to be changed slightly before complete approval was granted but she would not say how.
