active in Many people would jump at the chance to take a year off from their regu- lar everyday life to enjoy a different lifestyle. Carsten Caddy Liebig, Cinzia Mauro, and Callista Vicky Tepie, three for- eign exchange students elected to do just that. Caddy from West Ger- many lived in Dolton with the Eklunds. t'They are so cool, and we have such a super time, said Caddy. Spending time with all his new friends at Home- coming, parties, and doumtown with AFS, Cad- dy leamed a great deal about American life. Life is almost the same here as it is in Germany. We go Time a factor for visitors communit life to discos and have par- ties, too, he said. Coming from Italy, Cin- zia, who lived with the Kuzniars in Dolton, kept busy with her new family and friends. She was a member of the Photogra- phy Club and French Club as well as AFS. Having so much to do and not enough hours in the day was a dilemna Cin- zia often found herself in. Time! Sometimes it ob- sesses me: I never thought a minute or two could be so important. I'm always by the minute, al- ways on the run. Well, I guess that's typically American, said Cinzia. St. Lucia, an island in the East Carribean, is the home of Vicky, who lived with the Brandons in Dol- ton. Vicky made many new friends, especially in AFS. Everyone is so friendly here, and I have lots of fun, said Vicky. Like Cinzia, Vicky also felt that the American life was on the go. I always say I'm going to go to bed early, but I end up staying up later and later. I don't know' where the time goes, she said. They left behind a part of their countries but took memories of new friends and new experiences that would be with them for- ever.

U99 percent perspiration, l percent inspiration. Keeping in shape was what these were all about. A common pastime was the fitness craze , and the quest for the perfect bod was a constant goal. Weightlifting, dieting, and jogging were among the most popular ways for guys and girls to go about this. When some of these ac- tivities required the use of a in fitness health club, money was of- ten a problem. A member- ship at places like Quads could cost up to S2500 a year. Even though the cost was high, I enjoyed working out, said Barry Krikau, senior. It gave me some- thing to do in my spare time. Working out was not only used to build and tone mus- cle but also to trim fat. Dif- ferent exercises when lifting weights depended on the part of the body being at- tacked. Whether free weights or universal weights were used depend- ed on personal preference. Dieting as well as trying to gain weight were ways to -3:-Wil quest get that desired look. Diet- ing ranged from counting calories, to eating just one meal a day, or to eating only certain foods such as salads. ln general most di- eters felt that the hardest part was sticking to the diet fwithout any cheatingl. As for trying to gain weight and bulk, high pro- tein and starch diets worked well. Eating ever- ything available was also a workable method. The lucky few who could do this were envied by many. Whether it was losing or gaining weight or toning up muscles, fitness was in the mind of everyone.
