Play nice By DEVINIQUE MURRAY Staff Reporter DVMU2@PSU.EDU 1,2,3 and “Red Light.” The gym was filled with many screaming students. Many students running and other students chanting each other on, basketballs were bouncing, balls were flying, jump ropes turning, and the music was bumping. The Black Student Union hosted another successful event, on Oct. 31 as the students of Penn-state Harrisburg joined together and had a night of fun. Neighborhood Games, was the BSU’s second event of the semester and it was a successful event. If you did not pick up the last issue of The Capital Times, BSU’s first event, which was an open forum discussing school shooting, was also a successful event. Neighborhood games was a night of fun, which was held in the Capital Union Building, from 9:oopm-11:00pm. Some of the activities consisted of duck-duck- By ANN STILLWATER Columnist MKRIS7@PSU.EDU Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Many research studies show that eating breakfast helps one maintain proper weight, get better grades on exams, and get along with others better. Thetraditional“continentalbreakfast” of a sweet roll or doughnut and coffee is one of the worst breakfasts to eat. The simple sugars and lack of fiber or protein causes the blood sugar to spike high, then drop fast. The crash several hours later can be seen in sleepiness, poor attention, and a trek to Stacks or the vending machine. A breakfast that irithides whole grains and protein will fend off hunger pains for longer, and allow longer alertness. Whole wheat toast, oatmeal, whole wheat tortillas, brown rice, whole grain cereal, or a low sugar/whole grain granola bar all supply a high fiber starch that is slower to digest. The feeling of fullness will last longer since fiber breaks down more slowly. High fiber also reduces cholesterol, obesity, and the risk of several kinds of cancer. Ingredients should list a whole grain as the first ingredient, and the nutrition label lists grams of fiber per serving. If more than half the carbohydrates are sugars, the food is not the healthiest breakfast choice. Low fat yogurt, Peanut butter or other nuts, eggs, cheese, tofu or legumes, turkey slices, sausage, or ham are good protein choices. Check the label for grams of protein, and also for fat. Lower fat is a healthier choice. Most Americans eat more protein than is needed, but it is important to get some protein early in the day. Protein is used to rebuild tissues such as hair, skin, and for wound healing. with your goose; Red light, green light; steal the bacon; jump rope; relay races; and basketball. The event was a collaborative effort put together by the students of BSU. Neil Wray-Marsh, the club’s President and former Penn- State Schuylkill off campus committee chair, decided that having Neighborhood Games would be a fun idea for the students. “I mean we did this event at Penn-State Schuylkill, and everybody had fun. So why not bring something fun here?” Shannon Nordt, communications major, agreed with Wray-Marsh, “ I really enjoy Neighborhood Games. It took me back to when I was a little kid.” When asking students what game they enjoyed playing the most, many of the students said that they were just having fim because every one was there doing something fun together. Some of the students that attended said that they were there to support the BSU, and others said that they were there to meet other students. iiggs are the focus of traditional American breakfasts. Fried eggs are quick and easy. Heat a pan with a small amount of oil, or a cooking spray. Crack eggs into the hot pan, cook, turn with a spatula, and finish cooking till desired wellness. Some folks salt and pepper the egg while cooking. Well cooked fried eggs on whole grain toast make a breakfast sandwich that can be eaten while walking or driving to class or work. Scrambled eggs can be substituted. Mix eggs in a cup or bowl with a fork or blender. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook as above. Hard-boiled eggs are good for breakfast, lunch, or snacks. Cover eggs with cold water, bring to a boil, turn off heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Cool rapidly by running cold water over the eggs till cool to the touch. Be sure to label the egg carton in which they are stored “Hard-Boiled” to avoid unpleasant surprises the next day. There are quick and easy breakfast ideas. Melting grated cheese on a whole wheat tortilla in the microwave takes less than a minute. Milk and a whole grain cereal can be eaten while reviewing for the day’s quiz.

It was fun.” Arthur was leaving the Capital Union Building with a smile on her face, just like many of the other students that attended the event. Charmaine Edmonds, political science major, was among many of the other students that enjoyed Neighborhood games, “We need to do this more often, this kind of event relaxed me a little.” Neil Wray-Marsh decided that the BSU will indeed do this event again, and even though they had a good turn out, the next time they hope to have an even better turn out. “I’m glad lots of people came out to this event, and even more importantly I’m glad that people had fun”.
