use si honor By APRIL HUFFMAN Staff Writer Walking by the Women's Quad on Oct. 1 was like walking back in time to a scene where everyone was "tying yellow ribbons around the old Oak tree" for the sake of our hostages in Iran. Although the causes were slightly different, the reasons were the same ? Americans caring for Americans and hoping for speedy returns. What started out as a program by a nearby radio station, WCOS, grew rapidly into a campus-wide event. Several hundred students gathered on the Women's Quad for a candlelight students are concerned about what is going on in their country, so we decided to make our candle lighting program campus wide," she said.

Dr. Cass Ryan, a registered dietician with Newtrition Consult Inc., came to the USC campus during dinner and reviewed the food available at the Grand Marketplace in Russell House. "I was impressed. There are a lot of nutritious choices," Ryan said. Ryan was quick to point out that it is "up to the individual" to know what is healthy and what is not. Making good choices is something college students may not be equipped to do. Ryan suggested that a guide with calorie counts, fat contents, and other information regarding the food offered in die cafeteria be made available to help students make "informed choices." "Right now, it's just guessing," Ryan said. She said the average freshman weight gain is 15 pounds. She once counseled a student who gained 50 pounds her freshman year as a result of midnight snacking, alcohol and little exercise.
