Ask Louanne
Dear Louanne,
I'm a freshman, and I’m beginning to think I'm the only male virgin
left on campus. There's nothing wrong me. I just never found the right
girl at the right time. Besides, with all the publicity about AIDS and
herpes, I'm beginning to wonder who is the "right" girl. What should I
do, run an ad in "Rendezvous"? Signed, the Last Man
Dear "Last Man",
Don't believe everything you hear in the locker room. In 1984,
Segal did a study entitled The Sex Lives of College Students. (I
have a copy of it in my office if you'd like to borrow it) A total of
2,436 students across the country were polled, and 39% of the entering
college freshmen males admitted they were still virgins, so you're not
alone. You are right! It's got to feel "right". Why don't you consult
Patty Pasky, the nurse practitioner at tour Health Center, about
protecting yourself from AIDS and other STD's. While you're there pick
up a package of condoms so you'll be prepared when the right time
comes along.
Dear Louanne,
I'm really worried about my roommate. She rarely goes to dinner
with us and when she does she leaves as soon as she's finished eating -
'says she has studying to do. She thinks she's fat (she's not) and is
constantly dieting. She keeps tons of junk food in her bolster, but I
never see her eating any of it. Aren't these symptoms of bulimia? What
should I do? Signed, Worried Roommate
Dear "Worried",
It sounds like you've done some reading. Yes, these could be
symptoms of an eating disorder, but everyone who leaves the dining hall
immediately after eating is not going to vomit. Your roommate really
may have an exam to study for. A person with bulimia goes on periodic
food binges, then feels out of control and purges by vomiting or using
laxatives. This is usually accompanied by depression. The purging
behavior is extremely dangerous depleting vital nutrients in the body
such as potassium which can result in heart failure.
How can you help? Remember, bulimia is not "craziness" but an
attempt to cope with stress. You are right to continue including her in
your activities. Be kind, concerned, and confront gently, but firmly.
Say what you see, hear, and feel; but don't take personal responsibility
foe your roommate; .Offer her assistance in getting professional help.
You could suggest she accompany you to bur Thursday night Eating
Concerns Support Group at 8:00 p.m. in the Health Center. The
group is not just for bulimics, but anyone who feels they spend too
much time thinking about food or feel their eating is out of control.
(Sorry I got so long-winded, but I was so glad you asked. This is a
special interest of mine)
Dear Dr. Cereal,
What can I do? No matter how hard
an effort I make, I just can't seem
to keep up this semester. As if
school weren’t enough, I'm having
personal problems as well, and I
really don’t know where to turn. I
figured someone who wrote
brilliant, insightful, and humanistic
columns could help me out. Do
you know such a person?

High blood pressure
by Tammy Stecko
Collegian Staff Writer
Very few of us can truthfully say
that we don't know someone with
hypertension (also called high blood
pressure) a disease characterized by
elevated blood pressure in the
artieries. With such an emphasis on
this disease, many people are
beginning to watch their diets and
are cutting down on the amount of
salt they consume.
The mineral sodium is essential
for the functioning of many of the
body processes and plays a major
role in water retention. Although the
average american consumes 1000-
2000 milligrams of sodium daily,
the recommended amount is 220
milligrams per day. This amount can
be adequately supplied with the
naturally occurring sodium in such
foods as fresh fruits and vegetables,
meats, poultry, fresh fish, milk,
andd water.
Some foods have salt added to
enhance ..the flav.or _or _as
preservative. Salted and smoked
meats contain a very high amount of
sodium. Salt content in these meats,
such as bacon, ham, sausage,
luncheon meats, and comed beef, are
very high in sodium.

Preservatives in foods can be
found by reading the labels of the
products. Some very popular
perservatives that are used are
Monosodium glutamate (MSG),
Sodium benzonate, Brine, Sodium
propionate, Sodium sulfite, baking
soda, and baking powder.
Processed foods are also a major
contributor to high sodium levels.
These foods include canned soups
and vegetables, baked goods, catsup,
relish, pickles, mustard, horseradish,
and soy sauce. One reason that these
foods are high in sodium is that they
contain many of the preservatives
that were mentioned above.
Now that I've told you everything
that you should watch out for when
you are lowering your sodium level,
you're porbably wondering just what

you can eat. Many people are
hesitant when it comes to cutting
sodium out of their diets, because
they feel that the meals have to be
bland to be low in sodium. Ther are
a variety of herbs and spices that can
be used to flavor meats and
vegetables that contain little or no
sodium. Flavorings can also add
taste to meats that you would
otherwise consider bland.
Kicking the salt habit isn’t really
that hard. All it takes is a little
willpower and a creative
imagination. One thing that helps
considerably is removiong the salt
shaker fion the stove and the table. If
it’s not there, you won’t use it

against Kosovo.”
But rather than pursuing control
of Kosovo directly, Serbia has
targeted the more neutral.
"Its a very Balkan case of Serbia
wanting to influence one province
by attacking another,” he ecplained.
"The events in Yugoslavia are
very worrisome. As a nation , they
are facing the need to clamp down
or face a long period of extreme
civil unrest I believe they'll choose
the former.”
Despite the current conflict,
Seroka sees the positive benefits of
the clash between the party and the
government of Yugoslavia.
