If the old adage "An a
day keeps the doctor has
been sing-songing tha ^n your
thoughts this week, organizers of
Healthy Choices Awareness
Week are smiling.
The purpose of Awareness
Week is to saturate the campus
with the Healthy Choices symbol,
the apple, to help students
get acquainted with it. During
Awareness Week, there will be
Healthy Choices banners and
table tents in all dining areas,
Marriot Education Services
Marketing Manager Patty Rook
said.
The Healthy Choices Program,
which began Jan. 21, is the proHurt
of a inint effort hv USC Di
ning Services and Open Door
Health and Wellness Programs to
help students lower their fat intake
and to satisfy student demand
for healthier food in dining
areas.
College students' biggest nutritional
problem is a high-fat
diet, Open Door health educator
Eileen Korpita said. The taste
and convenience of fast food,
which is high in fat, makes it appealing
to college students, she
said.
Korpita said when students en:
ter college, food choices become
their responsibility, and eating
fast food can be a social activity.
These eating habits can cause
freshmen to gain weight, the infamous
"Freshman Fifteen."

"There are a couple of slav

[ Rutheford Calhoun is backed
against the wall. Rutherford comes
from Illinois. He is a freed slave.
He is well-read. He is in trouble.
"In plain English, I was a petty
thief," Rutherford admits. He has
antagonized a local underworld
figure and faces an unhappy "business
arrangement:" marry Isadora,
a woman Rutherford does not love,

discussed.

Johnson calls Rutherford an
o "antihero."
d "The character simply grew out
1. of the story," John-son said. "I
e knew it had to be in New Orleans,
and how do you get to New Orleans?
Well, you're either born
n there or you went there from

i- for several years."
Johnson originally wanted to be
s, a cartoonist and sold his first
o drawing at age 17. At the same
" time, he published his first short
ie story, three paragraphs in his high
d school newspaper.
But Johnson couldn't shake the
e idea of writing and earned a bas,
chelor's degree in journalism and
ik philosophy from Southern Illinois

"One day I had this novel in my
is brain, and after writing it I showed
Ik it to this friend of mine; it wasn't
ie very good," recalled Johnson, who
in was greatly influenced at school by
nt author John Gardner. "But I did
six in two years, and the transition
is was beginning to happen. There
Id were so many possibilities."
