These traps and others contribute to poor eating habits—and obesity. According to Michael Mahoney, assistant professor of psychology, the urge to eat is often influenced by social and environmental factors rather than hunger. "We don’t use our physiology to tell us when to eat.” he said. “Instead, we use other factors.” For example, Mahoney said, many overeaters feel that rejecting a friend’s offer of food means rejecting the friend’s af fection. Others feel that they must finish everything on their plate instead of stopping when they’re not hungry. A study at Columbia University found that the eating habits of obese people are strongly in fluenced by factors such as time of day, availability .of ALASKA : June 12 to Aug 20 l Co-ed College Credit * : BackpacKmg and camping • expedition, learning outdoor * skills » ddodDs CHEESESTEAKS 10', DRINKS 106-108 Sowers St, food, 1 and even the setup of a room. i In his treatment of obese patients, Mahoney used a concept called “behavior modification” to help.them realize what makes them overeat and to change their pating habits. For example, a television knacker would We- en couraged to eat anywhere else but in front of the TV. This would break him of his snacking habit. | A student who tempts himself by keeping fat tening foods in his dorm toom “for friends who drop by” would be encouraged to replace the potato chips and candy with fruits, fresh vegetables and other less (fattening fare. 1 “We often eat in response |to food being on our plate,” iMahoney said.

Diane Feeley, feminist and -socialist,' spoke at a Young Socialists Conference to more than 50 socialists from across the state about “Women in American History,” par-, ticularly working women and' their militant history. “If you reveal a history to people,” Feeley said, “they can see that what they are today isn’t what they have always been.’This gives them hope. They see that the future is theirs.” ' According to Feeley, women in Colonial America were engaged in every oc cupation. Daughters as well as sons learned their father’s trade, and daughters often took over the family business when the father died. When industry began to move out of the household, Feeley said, women were “shut in the houses with nothing to do.” The first factories sprang up in America in the e lrly 1800 s, and women flocked to work in them. Feeley said working conditions were good at first, but deteriorated rapidly. Because women out numbered men five to one in the mills, women quickly began to unionize and strike for better working conditions, shorter hours, more pay and the abolition of child labor. By 1909 “highly skilled garment workers were making up to $6 a week,” Feeley said. Thousands of women joined the Women’s Suffrage Movement around World War I, Feeley said. While men were at war, women moved into areas of industry men had 'considered “too heavy” for women, she said. Women bobbedrtheir hair as a symbol of their independence, but returning soldiers had trouble adjusting to the change. “Most women were dragged* back into their homes at the war’s end,” Feeley said. During the Depression, women were the first to be fired. “Married women were immediately fired unless they hid 1 their wedding bands." Feeley said. During World the situation was reversed. Women were urged to work, Feejley said, "but the attitude was still that women were just) helping out until men came back.” * * The Sisters of Alpha Sigma Alpha warmly welcome their initiates Maticy Fargues Sheryl Smith Pamela Wooding And proudly announce their Winter Pledge Class Marilyn Bush ?

She said that within a month of the war’s end, 600,000 women were laid off, child-care shut down and women’s seniority rights were disregarded. “Not until 1950 did the per centage of working ‘ women again equal the high point it had hit in 1945," she said. Women have steadily gained roles in shaping their destinies, Feeley said. But they have a long way to go—the Equal ‘ Rights Amendment has been ratified by only’ 34 states, and four more states are needed. Feeley related several stories about women who have made history, such as Emma Goldman, the first woman in the United States to publicly display a birth control device. Goldman was arrested after she said, “Women should keep their mouths open and their wombs shut." Feeley is co-author of Kate Millet's “Sexual Politics: A Marxist Appreciation." She joined the Young Socialists Alliance>in 1967. worked with them and was’Sxested in the antiwar movenront. She also ran* unsuccessfully as a candidate for the U.S. Senate in California. Feeley is active in the feminist movement and plans to continue working with the Socialists. Pamela Hughes * Jane Log'u e' £ Betty Lou Lopardo J of Institutional Food?
