Students suffer from 'freshman ten'
By KARYN SPERTZEL
Wily Collegian Staff Writer
Many new students at University Park
kiave had to loosen their belts instead of
tighten them as President Reagan would
like. The students, however, are not
worried about economics but rather
about a phenomenon called the "fresh
man ten."
Even though it might be called fresh
. than ten, rapid weight gain can happen to
apyone new to dining hall food. Rose
Martin (graduate-nutrition) attributes
"the gain to a change in lifestyle.
"They just need experience in control
ling their eating. It's so easy to go back
for a second, third or even fourth help
ing," Martin'said. "Desserts are offered
-at lunch and dinner and the breakfast
menu often includes sweet rolls."
. • William Curley, director of Food Serv
ices, said part of the problem is that
,students are allowed to eat as much as
they want and, because they have many
choices, they tend to eat more than they
normally would.
State 4-H office coordinates county events

Daily Collegian Staff Writer
They direct offices all over the state in every county
from Adams to York. They send out agricultural infor
mation on every subject from appaloosas to zucchinis.
And their office is located right on campus, in the
Agriculture Administration Building.
The state 4-11 office operates as part of the United
States Department of Agriculture's extension service,
said Cindy Kauffman, program assistant for the state
office. Kauffman said the office works with the exten
sion offices in . each county of the state, coordinating

HUB Assembly Hall
1. Student gates will open at 11:45 a.m. The game is a sell-out.
2. Have University I.D. card with full-time Fall Term '8 sticker and ticket ready for gatemen.
3. Seniors & Graduate students MUST enter Gate #l5 in order to be seated in the Senior/Grad sections.
4. Juniors MUST enter Gate #l6 in order to be seated in the Junior sections.
5. Freshmen and Sophomores MUST enter Gate #l7.
6. Seniors may sit in any class section, as space permits, but must enter the gate designated for that section.
7. Juniors may sit in thd junior and freshmen/sophomore class sections, as space permits, but must enter the designated
gate for that section.
The gate you enter is the determing factor as to the section in which you will be seated for the game. For example: If you are a
senior, hold a senior ticket, and wish to sit in the senior'section, but enter the stadium through Gate #l7 (fresh,rnen/sophomore
gate) you will be required to remain in that section for the game.
The coordination of gating to seating sections is utilized to insure the quickest and most efficient entrance to the
stadium for all students. This system was devised after extensive meetings and discussions with students, including the
Association of Residence Hall Students.
8. In fairness to your fellow classmates, please occupy one seat number only and refrain from attempting to save seats.
9. Pass-out checks will be issued at the following portals: Seniors/Grads—Bottom of section . ED
Juniors—Bottom of Section EC
Frosh/Sophs—Bottom of section EA
10. The student seating sections of Beaver Stadium ARE NOT OVERSOLD.
However, there are more holders of senior/grad tickets than there are seats in the sections (ED & EC) assigned exclusively to
senior/grads.
The Student Ticket Policy stipulates that a senior/grad may sit in any of the student sections; it does not guarantee a seat in the
designated senion/grad sections.
It is impractical to sell to each class only the number of , seats contained in the sections assigned to each class. If this were
done, many juniors, seniors, and graduate students would be shut out of Beaver Stadium because of lack of tickets.
For example l .there would be no way of knowing how many seniors or juniors would prefer to sit in the freshmen/sophomore
sections if they were dating a member of those classes.
Your ticket is a guarantee of admission to Beaver Stadium, when presented with a current full-tiMe student identification card. It
is not a guarantee to sit in a particular section. Senior/grads may sit in all student sections; juniors in all sections but the
senior/grad section; and freshmen/sophomores in all but the junior, and senior/grad sections.
Our best advice: Enter the stadium early.
BOSTON COLLEGE GAME STUDENT TICKET INFORMATION
Martin said, "Students have so many
strikes against them, such as parties,
serving sizes in the dining hall and peer
pressure to eat. The dining hall is a social
place. It's a legitimate time away from
study a time to be with friends and
sometimes students tend to prolong their
stay.
"At night, friends want to have pizza or
popcorn and they don't realize what's
happening. It's hard not to be a joiner,
especially when you're new," Martin
said.
So what can be done to prevent the
freshman ten from attacking? Martin
said that planning ahead and avoiding
impulsive eating is a good start.
"The University makes the entire
term's menu available in advance so it's
possible to plan ahead," Martin said.
"Plan only one dessert a day and pick it
out in advance."
Curicy said he puts the final responsi
bility for food selection on the individual.
"I hear many complaints that our
menu is too starchy, but I don't care what
programs and promoting 4-H activities.
"We act as a liaison between the USDA and the
counties, getting information out to them," Kauffman
said.
The office buys ads on radio and television and in
newspapers throughout the state to promote 4-H. Also,
the office runs the 4-H's state events, writes 4-H project
books and produces slides relating to the 4-H. Kauffman
said the basic function of the office is to disseminate
information to the county offices.
"We very rarely get in touch direct contact with
the kids," Kauffman said. "But we work with the county
nutrition book you read, you'll see the
need for a potato or potato substitute at
the meal," Curley said.
"That's what we have (potatoes or a
potato substitute) ; it is then up to the
student to make the determination as to
how much of that he's going to eat,"
Curley said. "It is the student who has to
say 'I can't eat three pieces of pie.' "
Curley said menus were planned by a
committee of dining hall supervisors and
Eris Sanders, assistant director of Food
Services. He also said menus were
planned on the basis of nutritional value
as well as student preferences.
Martin said students should eat slowly.
"Students should take at least 20 min
utes to finish what's on their plate. One
tactic is to divide the plate into quarters
and take five miutes on each. If you don't
bolt your food, you'.re less likely to go
back for more," she said.
"My advice is not to stock the refriger
ator, not even with celery and carrots,
because it's an incentive to munch be
tween meals," Martin said.

"Limit the soft drinks. If you don't like
the taste of diet soft drinks, try mixing a
diet soft drink with a non-diet soft drink.
There is plenty of opportunity to get a
balanced diet," she said.
Martin said those students who were
very active in high school are the ones
who really gain the weight.
"A lot of people don't exercise here,
they just walk back and forth from
classes and call that exercise," she said.
Martin advises students to keep physi
cally active and to try to take another
physical education class. She also ad
vises students to pick at least one selec
tion from the four food groups at each
meal but not to take more then two
servings of any one group.
For those students who have already
encountered the "freshman ten," the
Nutrition Clinic is free to students on an
appointment basis.
The clinic offers individual counseling
on diet problems and will help students
set up l a diet plan tailored for the individ
ual. The clinic can be reached at 865-0613.
offices, who in turn work with volunteer leaders.
They're the ones that actually work with the kids."
University students can get involved with the 4-H
through the Campus 4-H Club. Kauffman said a staff
member at the state office, U.B. Bakker, is the adviser
for the club and acts as a go-between for the club and the
office.
Tom Schaffer, president of the club, said the club is
independent of the state office but works with both the
state and county offices. He said the club participates in
the summer 4-H events, helping with judging and
holding square dances.

New telephone cables
to alleviate overload
By JOE MARTELLARO
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Three Bell of Pennsylvania aerial
and underground cable projects,
costing a total of $496,000, are near
completion in State College, Bell's
.1 -
local manager said.
Jim Walck said the new cables are
needed to accommodate telephone
growth in the area. Walck sees the
work as "reinforcement projects."
"We have to do our best to handle
the requirements put on us by new
customers;" he said.
Vilalck cited the example of the
apartment complex boom of a few
years ago, and said Bell was caught
off guard at that time.
Don Crust, Bellefonte, the Bell
engineer who is coordinating two of
the cable jobs{ said a $155,700 pro
ject, begun in March, will provide
additional relief to southwest State
College.
The project involves placing about
1,400 feet of aerial and underground
cable to serve an area from West
Beaver Avenue south to Westerly
Parkway. Then, it will go from
Buckhout Street west to Corl Street,
including the Science Park Road
Industrial Area west of State Col
lege. _
Crust said the second project, also
begun in March at a cost of $200,200,
starts at the Bell central office at 250
S. Allen St., and then goes east on
Foster Avenue to Locust Lane,

_ where the cables will serve an area
from William Street east to Country
Club Road. More than 35,000. feet of
aerial and underground cable has
been placed in this project.
The third job, • slated to, be com
pleted in the spring at a cost of $140,-
100, was coordinated by Bell
engineer Steve Cohick. It involves
placing almost 13,000 feet of aerial
and underground cable from the
central office north on South Allen
Street to Highland Alley, then west
on Highland Alley to Barnard Street.
From this point, the cables will
serve an area from Barnard Street
west to Sparks Street and from High
land Alley south to Nittany Avenue.
Comparing the two types of cable,
Walck said underground cable is
better than aerial.
He also said an accident that sev
ers a utility pole would not affect
phone service of underground cable
as it obviously would with aerial.
Cost-wise, Walck said under
ground is initially more expensive,
but in the long run it is more eco
nomical because less service is re
quired of it.
Underground cable does have its
drawbacks, though. Walck said if
some type of excavation work were
to sever an underground line, a
major problem would result. Howev
er, this doesn't happen very often, he
said.
