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.
The candle-lighting salute to
American soldiers in the Middle
vigil, which began at 7 p.m. and
honored the U.S. military in the
Middle East.
"We started out with the postcard
campaign. Then some of the
RA's got together, brainstormed
artd came up with what we had
(on Monday), 'A Candle Lighting
... a Salute to our Soldiers',"
Sara Spell, resident hall director
for McClintock, said.
The candle lighting was a way
to show that students cared, according
to Lisa Holsenback, a
McClintock resident advisor and
journalism sophomore. "Most

East was pulled off with "wonderful"
success, even though the
weather was not extremely
cooperative. "We were very
pleased with the turnout," Spell
said.
The program began with singing
provided by Carolina Alive
and the dedication of the flags by
the Army ROTC Color Guard.
While singing several patriotic
songs, Carolina Alive lifted their
hands up in tribute to the soldiers
and visibly stirred up feelings in
the crowd.
The guest speaker for the
event was George Smith, a
World War II veteran. "I know
what it is like to go to war ... and
be away from family," Smith
said.
He spoke to the crowd about
his experience in World War II,
including descriptions of seven

In Smith's closing remarks, he

Smith predicted the United States

USC cafeterias
are good eating,
nutritionist says
food
for thought
By TIM KAUFFMAN
Staff Writer
On-campus food choices might
be healthier than most students
realize.
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.
Cflfp.tP.ria firwt chrmlH nrvt Ko cnl.
ely blamed for weight gain at college.
Ryan said food such as pizza,
potato chips and food served at
parties help contribute to unhealthy
eating.
