' o pain, no gain, involved Push, stretch, harder, harder - but don't forget to breathe. Get those muscles mov- ing. Stick to that diet. Remember, no pain, no gain. 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.

Late night stud included junk food with Letterman l don't believe l have all this homework! Looks like another late night with Dave. David Letterman that is. For whatever reason, many students found staying up late a normal part of life. Students occupied them- selves between the hours of ten to midnight leven later in extreme cases! with a va- riety of things. Watching TV was just one altemative. Those looking for humor tuned into Johnny Carson or Joan Rivers. l stayed up to watch Joan Rivers to check out her latest outfit, said Jenny Kovacs, senior. But what would television be without junk food. Do- mino's pizza was a favorite choice, delivery hours stretched into the wee hours of the moming. For a mere 56, students could purchase their favorite piz- za and then set their watch- es to see if the delivery man would make his half hour time limit. Another popular choice was White Castles. Each slider cost S52 cents or if one were lucky he could cash in a coupon for I0 for 52.49. Students often found their will power Knot to men- tion their dietl tested dur- ing these hours. For those with the gift of the gab, the phone was al- ways at hand. After hearing the latest scandal, who could resist spreading the news - no matter what time of night. Talking on the phone late at night is better than any other time. lt's cheaper, and nobody's awake to eavesdrop, said Missi Luri, senior. For procrastinators, late night hours were reserved for ever important home- work. After grabbing a bowl of popcorn and flicking on the TV, students sat dovm for a night of work. Who could ever forget staying up all hours to get that paper in on time? With a remote control in one hand and pop in the other, students were pre- pared for whatever the night had in store for them.
