Christmas at the Salvation Army. (Actually, this is a PFM special) Machines provide comfort for all the caffeine-addicted students 1 Battle Of The Bu e One of the most widely dis- cussed topics at college is food. Most people tend to think that they ' ll lose weight once they ' re at school. One popular belief supporting this theory is that students are not supposed to cook in their rooms, but what about the ex- tra burner or oven you brought anyway? There is also an idea that the food in the cafeteria is so bad that students won ' t eat it (but what about all the sand- wiches and french fries that are gobbled up?) These are just two things that lead to the Battle of the Bulge. Another belief is one of the utmost truth. NIGHT RAID!!! It ' s 11:00 at night and the news starts. Then someone casually mentions, Aren ' t you hungry? Immedi- ately things like Whoppers, ta- cos, pizzas, and candy enter into the conversation, and be- fore you know it, you ' re stuff- ing face. Suddenly you awak- en to find that you ' ve caught the Freshman Ten. Freshman Ten is just the ten pounds you gain in your freshman year. This doesn ' t include the future blubber that may be added. Soon you find yourself mak- ing excuses like, It won ' t hurt to eat this candy bar if I take the stairs. Then there ' s al- ways, I ' ll walk it off by going to class. Don ' t fool yourself, because the only way to avoid gaining weight is to not eat in the first place. So if you find yourself in line at the candy machine or needing the aid of a coathanger in order to get your pants zipped up, take heed, because there is no easy cure for the Freshman Ten. by Vanessa McKinney 22 FOOD

Is Studying Habit Forming? - Not Likely! One obvious place where students study is in their rooms, but those of us who are fortu- nate to live on campus know that this isn ' t always the best place. This is true especially if your neighbor to the right is us- ing a blow-dryer, and the one down the hall is playing the la- test song exceedingly loud, and the person on the left is entertaining company, in addi- tion to the ones above who are majoring in dance, So for these reasons and others, most students find alternate places to study. An individual ' s per- sonality and study habits have an effect on where that stu- dent chooses to study. There aren ' t many places on campus where one can be to- tally immune from some type of noise, but if you enjoy a change of scenery, there are some places you might try. The listening room could be the place for you if you enjoy mu- sic while studying. You could also try the area around the Hechenbleikner Lake if weath- er permits. There are many buildings on campus which have study rooms (and empty lecture halls) if you prefer the classroom atmosphere. The li- brary affords a great deal of study area, and the residence halls also have study rooms, al- though at times they can be called social rooms. There are certainly many other places on campus where one can study, but it ' s really up to the individual to find the best place for him to sit back, relax, and study! by Alisa Foushee Mark Smith has three alternatives study, watch T.
