'One of the highlights of my
life!" "The best move I've ever
made!" "A time I'll never

Fast Food Facts
Can you afford to gain
weight in college? If you've
noticed your jeans are getting a
little tight, perhaps it's time to
examine your eating habits.
Many Penn State students
rely on fast food restaurants
because they are conveniently
located, have quick service and are
relatively inexpensive. But watch
out, because they can also be quite
high in calories.
The average woman needs
about 2,000 calories per day while
a man needs about 2,700 calories
per day.
If you don't choose fast
foods carefully, you can easily eat
more than half your daily calorie
needs in one meal. Take a look at
the following sample menu:

Onion Rings 270
Soft Drink 144
Apple Turnover 345

Fast food has a high
caloric value because of the way it
is prepared. The sodium content is
high, and because these foods are
deep fried, they are more fattening.
Although fast foods do contain
nutrients from at least three of the
four food groups, they are low in
calcium, low in vitamins A and C,
and high in calories. However,
fast foods can be incorporated into
a well balanced diet. Here are
some ways you can eat fast foods
and cut down on the calories:
1. Leave out dessert.
2. Choose foods from each food
group (milk, meat, bread and
Dating Game to be Held in CUB
By Denise Reinas
This semester, Penn
State at Harrisburg is bringing
the fun-filled excitement of the
popular game show, "The Dating
Game," right here to our
campus. On Saturday, February
14th, at 7:30 p.m. in the CUB
building, the fun will begin.
The results of a
program survey taken by the
campus Resident Assistants'
showed that students were tired
and bored with the usual
activities, such as dances and
movies. Therefore, the RAs
decided to sponsor "The Dating
Game." Previously, there was a
smaller, less formal version of
the game held in the dormitories.
Because it was such a big
success and because there was
such a great turnout, the RAs
decided to bring the game back,
only in a bigger and better
fashion.
The game will be run
exactly like "The Dating Game"
is run on television. But in place

Approximately sixteen
prizes will be given out. The
prizes will be either free movie
passes or dinner certificates
ranging from ten dollars to
twenty dollars. Dinners for
places such as My Place, The
Gingerbread Man, The Sunburst,
Ponderosa Steak House, Paradise
Alley, and more, will be given
out as prizes. There were so
many contributions from
restaurants and movie theaters
that not only will the contestants
receive prizes, but door prizes
will also be given out to the
audience.
In February, advertise
ments will be hung up around
campus. So, students, when you
see them, sign up. Whether you
live on campus or not, sign up
for the best social activity of the
semester. Who knows, maybe
you'll walk out with a free dinner
or movie and an appealing date
by your side.
