Losing Weight?
Coeds, Webster Vie
On ' Diet' Definition
By MARY BOLICH
Collegian Assistant Society Editor
A diet, according to Webster’s dictionary, is “food and drink
regularly provided or consumed”; to a doctor a diet means an allow
ance of food according to a particular state of health. But to a Penn
State coed the term diet has a different definition—a means to look
trim in campus attire.
Coeds are known to be the most frequent dieters. One way to
learn of the different ways to diet
is to walk in on 9 gab session in a
dormitory. Next to men, the best
bull sessidn subject may be diet
ing.
This column, therefore, is for
the people who are unfamiliar
with the numerous types of diets
coeds frequently employ in their
search to lose.
Starvation Diet
First there is the starvation diet,
one of the most common forms of
the art. It is usually the “plump”
coed who selects this particular
diet. It includes giving up meals
but provides incentive for one to
eat candy, ice cream, or drink
soda pop whenever one feels a
hunger pang.
Another common form of diet
ing is the nicotine-caffein type.
Here again the coed forgets she
has paid for a meal ticket and in
stead smokes two or three packs
of cigarettes and drinks about ten
cups of coffee a day. Almost all
coeds go on this diet at one time
or another, especially, and un
intentionally, during final exams.
ExercUa-Amiilion?
Ambitious coeds sometimes sup
plement diets with the exercise
form of losing weight. They do all
types of calisthenics every morn
ing and night. All outdoor sports
are also encouraged. It is usually
the slim, can’t-afford-to-lose
weight coed who tackles this re
ducing method.
For those that like to take the

Fraternity Correction
Pi Kappa Phi was erroneously
omitted from the list of approved
fraternities by yesterday’s Daily
Collegian.
' The fraternity was approved
for both last night and tonight.
easy way out there is the RDX
plan. This involves no work or
pain. The coed eats all she wants
and still loses weight to get that
slim look. When she feels those
hunger pangs taunting her she
takes an easy-to-swallow pill apd
is all set.
Reduce.by Machine
Still easier is the Relax-A-Cizer
plan. This reducing involves no
dieting. The machine looks like
a tape recorder but instead of put
ting the tape on the machine the
coed puts it wherever she wants
to reduce. Advertisers claim it
will give one that “prettier, trim
er figure that excites romantic
glances.”
While there are probably many
other types of diets that could be
described it seems pointless to go
on. No matter how much coeds
try they can’t beat “Mother Na
ture.”
The Other Half —
(Continued from page four)
-Week include: only girls are al
lowed to make dates, must call
for the men in dormitory lounges,
and must pay all bills. During the
week the coeds were to walk
their dates to fraternity meetings,
carry their trays in the dining
hall, and on Thursday, “Slave
Day,” carry their books and pro
vide free cigarettes.
