Gandhi quits post as prime minister
The Associated Press
Opposition parties began trying to assemble a coalition.
NEW DELHI, India — Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi resigned yesterday, and for only the second time since independence in 1947 his Congress Party did not claim the right to form the next government.
Gandhi submitted his resignation to President Ramaswamy Venkataraman and said he was ready for the role of opposition leader.
"The people have given their verdict," he said in a televised speech last night.
"A new government will be formed. We extend to them our good wishes and offer them our constructive cooperation," said the 45-year-old parliamentarian who won his own Parliament seat overwhelmingly for a third time.
Congress won more Parliament
seats in last week's elections than any other party but was far short of a majority.
National Front leaders predicted yesterday that they would choose the next $\frac{1}{4}$ minister, but differences arose among the five parties.
The Congress Party has been out of office only once since independence from Britain.
A meeting was delayed until tomorrow so legislators from the alliance could try to persuade its main leader, Vishwanathan Pratap Singh, to take the job. Singh has repeatedly said he does not want it
"There will be trouble in the party if V.P. Singh is not elected prime minister," said Jaipal Reddy of Janata Dal, or People's Party, largest of the five parties in the National Front.
Singh is a former Gandhi minister and ally who has become his most prominent political foe.

Eating
Continued from p. 8
Gerhard also suggested that people watch their fat intake when they select the foods they want to eat.
Holiday foods high in fat include nuts, gravies and butters, fruitcakes and pies. She said turkey, potatoes and stuffing could be healthy food selections if people were to eat them and resisted the temptation to douse foods with sour cream, butter and gravy.
Although pumpkin pie can be a relatively low-fat dessert, pecan pie is one of the most fattening because of the nuts, she said.
Davis reminded the weight conscious to set realistic goals for the holidays and to not expect to be able to lose weight.
"You should make a goal to hold your own and maintain your weight." she said.
She recommended that people plan two three days in advance for a big holiday meal by cutting back on calories but not to go too many hours without food.
"Eating an apple an hour before your meal is a good idea," she said. "That way you're ready to eat, but you're not ravenous."
Preventing weight gain over the holiday season does not mean sacrificing goodies such as her mom's homemade fudge, but for every day you can eat at any time of the year, Davis said.
"If you are having Brown-N-Serve rolls with your holiday meal, don't eat them," she said. "You can eat Brown-N-Serve rolls anytime. Instead you should be saying, 'What is the most exciting food I can focus on?' And that's what you should eat."
If baking holiday goodies means eating half of the dough before it is baked, it is a
good idea not to do any holiday cooking, Davis said.
Gerhard said that, other than right before Spring Break, December and January were the busiest months for fitness clubs.
"This is the time of year when people realize that they've had half of a year off, and now they have another half of a year to get into their swimsuits," she said.
She recommended that people continue their regular exercise programs during the holidays, but said that people could maintain their level of fitness by walking every day.
"It's a good idea to get up and walk early in the morning to wake up and then to take a rest."
For Jennifer Tiller, Wichita senior, the holiday season should be a time for guilt-free eating.
"it's the holidays, you know," she said.
"I'm going to make your food. For once you can eat gull-free."
Tiller said she ate during the holidays for the sheer enjoyment of eating. Besides, holiday meals at her home include a "pie fiesta" where everyone吃 three pieces of pie whether they want to or not. They always have mincemeat, pumpkin and pecan pies for their holiday desserts, she said.
While Tiller's holiday eating habits may lack rules or guidelines, her exercise program is much more rigorous.
On Thanksgiving day, Tiller ran four
miles and she ran every day during her
vacation.
"My resolution for holidays is to workout every day except Christmas," she said.
