Carl Sagan speaks toaudience about Mars

INSIDERain, a serious problem whichstrikes all members of the MITCommunity at one time oranother, is the topic of a com-mentary by USC fromCambridge.

The MIT community now hastwo easy ways to help the RedCross - they can now giveeither their blood or theirmoney.

Not listed in any dic-

tionary, the word is un-questionably pure slang. Forthe rest of the English-speaking world, it has uni-formly negative connotations.Examples of its current usageare given frequently on thetelevision show Happy Days('It means anything besidesFonzie," according to onewould-be lexicographer.) AtStanford, however, it has amuch more exact significance... .Every member of the com-munity has his own ideasabout what is "nerdish" andthe relative number of studentswho deserve this label. Theonly points on which there isanything close to agreement isthat the phenomenon of"nerdism" does exist and thatit is one of the most unpleasantaspects of studying at Stan-ford . . .

By Gordon HaffCarl Sagan. noted astronomer

and exo-biologist. spoke on "TheExploration of Mars" last Mon-day night in Kresge Auditorium.

Sagan, who is director ofPlanetary Studies at Cornell. iswell-known as a popularizer ofscience in general. and spacescience and planetary explorationin particular. Sagan is not afraidof the unknown. To the contraryhe says of himself: "I am in awe ofthe unknown."' His latest bookThe Dragons of Eden, a bestseller.deals with the evolution of humanintelligence, a topic almost entire-ly outside of his own field.

In the early part of his talk,Sagan spoke of the early historyof Martian exploration, lookingat it through a telescope fromearth. He mentioned the debateover the possibility of intelligentlife on Mars which began with thediscovery of the "canals" by Per-cival Lowell of MIT. Sagan addedthat "the question is which side ofthe telescope the intelligent life

UWilfiam Barton Rogers foundedthe Massachusetts Institute ofTechnologv in 1865; the first clas-ses were held in the MercantileLibrary until the Boylston Streetbuilding was finished shortlythereafter.

Three years later Rogers sufjfired a stroke and was succeededby John D. Runkle who was fol-lowed 13 years later by GeneralFrancis A. Walker. The next year.Rogers died while speaking atCommencement.

During the next 30 years, Presi-dents James Mason Crafts. HenryS. Pritchett and RichardlMaclaurin devoted much of theirefforts to moving MIT fromBoston while avoiding a mergerwith Harvard. In 1912, GeorgeEastman, president of EastmanKodak, offered $2.5 million for thenew site in Cambridge.

was on.One of the most important

aspects of interplanetary explora-tion. according to Sagan, is theusefulness of looking "at otherplanetary environments ascautionary tales." He noted thesimilarity between Venusrunaway greenhouse effect andthe effect caused by the dumpingof excessive amounts of carbondioxide into earth's atmosphere.

Sagan went on to talk about theViking mission and the possibilityof life on Mars in light of our pre-sent knowledge of Martian condi-tions. He commenced by statingthat "Many biologists, I notamong them, feel that life is notpossible without abundant sur-face water. I feel bonded water issufficient if life has onceevolved." Sagan even conjecturedthat "lt is certainly possible forlarge organisms to exist on.Mars."

Sagan feels the Viking missionhas two major weaknesses. The

In October 1911. PresidentMaclaurin announced his inten-tions of building a new MIT inCambridge. Planning such anoperation was enormously dif-ficult and expensive. Over 2,000blueprints from other universitieswere collected, and facultymembers outlined their specificneeds which entailed one millionsquare feet. John Freeman, Classof 1876, an engineer and member

of the Corporation, had beenworking on preliminary details.while Professor Constant DesireDespradelle made elaboratearchitectural drawings in theGreek Classic style.

But construction did not beginin 1912 as hoped, as problemswere encountered in selling theBoston campus. Also, Despra-delle died suddenly, so in 1913 W.Welles Bosworth '89 was chosen

New transit guide very helpfulBy David B. Koretz

The newest and best guide tothe Metropolitan Bay Transpor-tation Authority's (MBTA)labyrinth of transit options is en-titled Car-Free in Boston.

Published by the Associationfor Public Transportation, Inc., inCambridge, the 96-page guide isaccompanied by the MBTA'slatest (1977-1978) route map.

Within the book itself are sec-tions on the various "car-free"options such as bicycles, mopeds.taxis and carpooling for localtraveling; air, rail and bus forlong-distance journeys; and thebasic NMBTA services fortraditionalists.

Other helpful sections listpoints of interest attainable bvtransit. as weli as cultural andentertainment centers, and how to

travel without an automobile tocities and towns in eastern Mas-sachusetts.

The Association. although in-dependent from the IMBTA.promotes the T's servicesthroughout the book. The in-troduction states, "Compare thebasic M BTA fare of 25c with theannual cost of owning and main-

taining an automobile in Boston- over S2,000.

"That S2,000 could be con-verted into 8,000 MBTA fares (22trips per day), more than enoughto satisfy even the most active oftravelers!"

Further bias is shown in the"Dountown Boston" chapter:"While driving in Boston can bedifficult, traveling dow ntown bycar is guaranteed to befrustrating. The best way to traveldowntown is to take transitand then walk. The core area isdensely developed and there isn'tanv destination far from a transitstop.

landing vehicle has no mobility. Itmust perform its experiments andview MNars from the spot on whichit landed. This problem is thencomplicated by the fact that to en-sure the safest possible landing,the Viking must set down on thedullest. most uninteresting spotson Mars. Sagan sees the next ma-jor step in Mfartian exploration tobe the design of some kind oflander which would be able tomove into the more interestingand informative areas.

At the conclusion of his talkabout Mlars. Sagan discussed thebiological and chemical ex-perimentation packets which the`.'ikinv lander carried. Whiletautioning that there is. a, ,te. nodefinite eidence of MLartian life.he added that "bh prc-!aunchcriteria. the tads. hale ',eldedpositive results." Hc also men-tioned that "No one hasreproduced results uith nobiological activitr under plausibleM1artian conditions. There is a

distinction betueen absence ofevidence and evidence ofabsence." He concluded that theresults of the biolozical experi-ments are perfectl? consistentwith those of the chemical experi-

ments due to differences in sen-sitivity.

Sagan closed by saving that "Insome sense the Viking mission hasmade us a two planetcivilization... [and that] onlyone generation in the wholehistory of the world is privilegedto find out about the planets.That generation is us."

WorldEffective pneumonia vaccine reported - Reaearchers at theUniversity of California School of Medicine at San Franciscohave developed a powerful new vaccine that can prevent-themore common types of pneumonia. The vaccine has proven to be100 percent effective in tests. It should be available to the publicwithin a year.

Biko inquest ordered - South African officials decidedyesterday to open an inquest today into the death of StephenBiko, the country's foremost young black leader, who died inpolice custody six weeks ago. The Biko family strongly favoredan inquest rather than a trial because an inquest would give Bikofamily lawyers an opportunity to summon witnesses. The finalautopsy report, prepared by the chief state pathologist and by aBiko family-appointed pathologist, concluded that the cause ofBiko's death was "extensive brain injury."

Chinese given pay raise - China announced Wednesday that,for the first time in 14 years, it has given pay raises to more thanhalf its factory and office workers in what seems to be a major ef-fort to accelerate economic growth and win support for the newpost-Mao leadership.

NationReduced marijuana penalty approved in committee - TheSenate Judiciary Committee voted on Wednesday to reduce thefederal penalty for possession of small amounts of marijuana.Possession of more than an ounce of marijuana would remain acriminal offense, but the maximum penalty would be reducedfrom a 55,000 fine and a year in jail to S500 and 30 days.

Steel firm reports record loss - The largest loss ever in aquarter for an American company was reported Wednesday byBethlehem Steel Corporation, the nation's second largest steelproducer. The $477 million loss is almost double that of theprevious record set in 1972 by the RCA Corporation. The largestpart of the net loss was due to the closing down of plants in Penn-sylvania and New York, resulting in the permanent layoff of7,300 workers.

LocalYouths plead innocent in train looting - Thirteen youthspleaded innocent Wednesday to charges of breaking and enteringin the nighttime to commit a felony after they allegedly threw atree across railroad tracks Tuesday night, halting an 88-carConrail freight train which was then looted. The youths werepart of a loud and raucous party of about 100 people who starteda large bonfire behind a greeting card company in Dedham.

Students attackedA late night jog ended in

violence last weekend when twoMIT freshman were attacked by agang in the Roxbury section ofBoston. The pair, both campusresidents, decided late Saturdayevening to take a run through thecity streets. By about 1:30am Sun-day they had arrived in Roxburywhen six or seven unidentifiedmen jumped from a motor vehicleand assaulted them. While one ofthe students was chased by threemen - one of whom struck himon the head and arms with a stick- his companion bore the bruntof the assault, ultimately beingstabbed in the back with a switchblade knife by one of his at-tackers. The assailants then fledthe area.

The stabbed student was takenby ambulance to the Boston CityHospital for emergency treatmentwhere he remained overnight as aprecaution. Boston Police Detec-tives are investigating the attack.

The Fall 1977 MIT-Red CrossBlood Drive runs through nextFriday,- afford- =ing members of .- i~..- i; .the M IT corm- i:--A:.=.:munity a chance !? lto give that most .. ..v::.i.precious gift of life- blood. TheM IT drives have always beenamong the most successful in theregion.

A pint is not much to give forthose who are able. but to therecipient, the patient on theoperating tabloe whose life hangsin the balance a pint of blood is avery real necessity,

Tqext week, the annual UgliestMan on Campus contest gets un-derway. The proceeds this yearwill go to the American RedCross. Not only does the Red

well with technology.Within two weeks, we'll be able

to give of ourselves in the blooddrive, and of our wealth inU(aMOC week. It matters notwhich candidate you give yourmoney to: all contributions aretax-deductible donations to theRed Cross.

The success of the year-roundblood drives, the UMOC cam-paign and the annual United Waycampaign contrast violently withthe image that is cast of the MITstudent, both bv student bodyspokesmen and recently by out-spoken members of the staff.

Such unselfish giving seems tocharacterize the student muchmore accuratetv than the detrac-tors' misconceptions do. The actof giving blood is surely one ofthe most charitable acts a humanbeing can perform. The entire no-tion of donating one's blood re-quires an understanding of and arespect for human life. When over1.500 people donate their bloodwithin the space of a week. it isdifficult to believe any claims thatsuch people are insensitive to theneeds of their fellow human be-ings.

So ignore the cries ol"inhumanity to man-;" there is no

need to answer soapbox-stylerhetoric with angry defense. Thebest way for the MI'T community.to prove its "humanity" is to con-tinue a time-honored tradition atthe Institute: givin'g unselfishly ofoneself.

Predictions:waste of spaceTo the Editor:

During the last several weeks,The Tech has carried a columndevoted -to predicting scores inthat week's NFL games: I wouldlike to ask whether a column ofthis nature serves any real pur-pose in a newspaper like TheTech. The column usually takesup approximately a half page ofthe newspaper, and I assert thatthe space could be put to betteruse by having an article on MIT-related sporting news, such asreports and scores of intramuraland intercollegiate events.A'nyone wishing to get odds on aprofessional football-game maydo so by checking the Globe orHerald American.

Editor's Note: The Tech receiveda copy of this letter to AssociateDirector of Admissions John L.Mack.To the Editor:

As one who feels that DaveSoule has been unjustly maligned.I was pleased to read in The Techthat Professor Johnson andyourself are-dropping the chargesyou made against him and theTCA. I remain puzzled, however,by at least two of the points madein your statement. As clarity isyour avowed aim, and, too, asyou delight in likening yourself tothe sun, I am sure it would pleaseyou to illuminate me on the fol-lowing points.

First, 1, and many students ofmy acquaintance, fail to see howmaking absolutely vile accusa-tions and calling for the direstpenalty possible..-helps to shedlight on a situato~n. True,: it does

make it clear that there is racialintolerance at MIT, but it seemsto raise a question about whichquarter that lack of under-standing may be found in simplyto make a complaint is one thing,and an understandable one; tomake the complaint you did isquite another thing, and one that

I do not understand.Second. it is not clear to me to

what you refer when you speak ofthe 'low level of professionalismof the staff of our student news-papers." MIT's student news-papers reported the facts, gaveprominent display to Professor

Johnson's complaint (and now toyour statement), printednumerous letters from concernedmembers of the community, andalso paid considerable editorialattention to the issue. In short, itappears to me that every effort

was made to keep the communitywell informed. Tech Talk, thenewspaper of the M IT ad-ministration, made no effort toreport the facts of the case. Theonly sign of the entire affair to ap-pear in its carefully pristine pages

was the Weisner/Gray statement.which condemned without ex-plaining. it seems clear to mewhich attitude is more profes-sional; perhaps we hold different

views on the duties of the press. Itwould interest me greatly to hearyou explain your remarkablestatement.

-'Our raison d'etre is to analyze, investigate and propose solutions tothe recurring problem of inclement weather which has plagued our

community. Particularly pertinent to ourmission is the 1969 Report of the TaskForce on Too Much Snow to the Com-mission on MIT Education and theproposals of the 1891 Study Groupderived from a consideration of the plen-

l ~ llm~, tiful nature of Sleet, Hail and Inclemency.'~ "Let me call upon my colleague and

r '~x eminent Weatherman Jerry Rubin tov \ summarize the facts relevant to the case

under consideration.". .__"Thank-you, Mr. Chairman,' Rubin

began. "Since the beginning of this academic year MIT has experiencedinundation by an unprecedented quantity of-- how shall I put it - aheckuva lot of rain. Everyone around here is wet. This is a problem thathas affected staff, students and faculty alike. We have seen an outbreakof umbrellification: this, however, is at best a short-term, localizedsolution and does little to relieve the long-range situation nor does itprovide protection from the combination of rain and gale-forcewinds."

Chancellor Gray interrupted. turning on a slide projector and haul-ing out charts showing the correlation between umbrella size anddryness, in constant 1969 rainfall inches, seasonally adjusted. "Basedon these graphs. and what we call the parasol factor, and extrapolatingover the next five years, figuring in a normalized thunderstormvariable, we can predict just how high we can raise tuition - I mean.uh, how -high this precipitation will rise."

A student rose and asked to be recognized. Ward rolled his eves,sighed and reluctantly introduced the prospective speaker as "Pete&erke. our student body president."

"My election platform included trees. grass and places outside to sitdown. None of this is possible unless we fgure out a way to stop thisdarn rain. Do you know how hard it is to teach a disco dancing class

when everxoneIs shoes are all wet?"Berke was starting to gesticulate wildly. "We can't make MIT a

friendly place as long as it rains." he flamed.Dean BobbN Holden rose and addressed Berke. "But you promised

leaves on the trees and here it is only the end of October and alreadythe\'re faling off. I hold you personally responsible for that."

A\ssociate Director of Admissions John Mack answered Holden. "I,ouldn't blame one student for a societal problem, Bob. We need thelight of the sun which brings life and warmth. not thebrightness that

comes from lightning which illuminates on15 as it destroys.""Maybe vou're right." Holden vacillated.

Phil M oore was recognized bv the chair. "I represent the SDS. Stu-dents for a Damp Society." he said, presenting the opposing viewpointas usual. "We object to anythine the administation supports."

"And besides." chimed in Dean for Student Affairs CarolaEisenberg. -\,orms like rain and students like rain." A puzzled silencepervaded the room.

Ward regained control of the meeting. "At any rate, you have in3our hands rrn, proposal for coping with this problem." Papers wererustled throughout the crowd. "Note the chanies in the secondparagraph on page 9,843 under the heading, 'Objections to thisproposal bN members of the Writing Program.'

The head of the Ocean Engineering Department, Noah Dyer, spoketo the Chairman. -I understand everything. Fred. except this diagramon page 42. You say the measurements are 120 cubits by 90 cubits

/~ ~ ~* the absolute pits

purpose is to show us what a hip "personof the sixties" David is. The script keepstrying to impress the audience with howmany times the characters can refer to sexand dope in the same conversation.

The film also insists on ramming downour throats that the year is 1969 by playingsome of the music of that year and makingas manrs references to Vietnam as possible.Such references are all totally extraneous.Nothing is gained by setting the time of thestor% at eight Vears ago. Perhaps theproducers were suffering from theAmerican Graffiti syndrome, trying tomake us pine for the "good old days" of1969. TheN, do not succeed. Once the moviegets away from this sixties obsession andbegins concentrating on the story itself, itbecomes much more affecting.

We follow Kessler through his sexualmisadventures as he tries to find the "safeplace" that dream girl Margaret requires.In the process. he discovers that Margaret(Lisa Reeves) is not all that perfect. Even-tualix he ends up with his longtime friendTracy- (Meredith Baer), who, though suf-fering from a bad reputation. turns out tobe the best match for David.

There are several secondary plots. themajor one involving the fried chicken stand

where a couple of the students work. Theseepisodes contribute nothing to the movieexcept the title. They also give Phil Silvers,as the proprietor. plenty of opportunitiesto do his unamusing dirty old man routine.After watching Kessler and his best friendplay one-on-one basketball by shootingpieces of chicken into the batter. it isdoubtful if anyone in the audience will befrequenting fried chicken stands soon.

The film tries to make a rather strongcomment against the neglect of children byparents. David never speaks to his motherexcept via intercom. and we must concludethat this explains his rather undisciplinedbehavior. as well as that of his thirteen-year-old brother Charlie (Gino Baffa).Charlie. by the way, is responsible for theonly truly funny part of the entire movie.He sneaks into a party and makes quite afool of himself after having drunk severalbottles of champagne.

None of the actors. except Silvers, arewell k-nown. None of the performances are

of stand-out quality either, although Gut-tenberg should be commended for ad-mirably handling such a large role in hiscinema debut.

This movie had potential. If the storyhad been presented as merely the escapadesof some average high school students aboutto graduate, it would have made for a nicelighthearted comedy. Instead, the movie

strives for more and comes up far short. Itseems to be making some sort of statementabout life in the Sixties, but such state-ments do not fit in with the rest of themovie. There are some fun parts in the filmbut these are overshadowed by its glaringfaults. It is a shame that these faults existbecause they make it hard to like whatshould be a likable story.

Moonflower - Santana on ColumlbiaRecords i(two-record set).

Carlos and the gang are back for more ofthe sound that they wore out years ago.This collection actually isn't too tiresomebecause of the presence of a couple of San-tana's more popular tunes.

The oldies, live renditions recorded ontour in France and England, include"Black M1agic Woman" and "Europa."The performances are pretty crisp and theforeign crowds are fairly enthusiastic. Hadthev used tracks from their last Americantour. however, the applause would haverun a bit thin. Santana warmed up for ZZTop on tour the last time around.

The most exciting song on the album is"She's Not There." an Argent oldie that ismuch improved by Carlos Santana's madguitar. Greg Walker, probably the rockworld's least known vocalist, adds thefamiliar Santana sound that will probablymake this cut into a hit single.

Other new stuff is in the same vein asvintage Santana; the only noteworthy entryis the eleven-minute "Song of Sacrifice."

Like Chicago, Santana needs yet anothernew sound if they want to keep sellingrecords aftei all the- years that they havebeen around. With their polished stagepresence and tendencies toward metal, thehard-driving style of "She's not There"might well be what we'll hear from Santanain years to come.

Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hitson MfCA Records.

For some reason, it is easier to think ofwhat Olivia Newton-John's singing is notrather than what it is. She is obviously nota proponent of any kind of hard rock, yet itis almost impossible to classify her music asmerely being soft of country rock. OliviaNewton-John's Greatest Hits is an albumthat shows the great versatility of her sing-ing talent.

Her soft sincerity on "I Honestly LoveYou" and on "Don't Stop Believing" is

matched by her powerful liveliness on "LetMe Be There." a rousing spiritual countrytune, and on '"If You Love Me (Let MeKnow)." With her music, Olivia Newton-John manages to be thoughtful without be-ing cumbersome, and optimistic withoutbeing unbelievable. Her rendition of BobDylan's "If Not For You" is exceptionallyappealing, and her hit "Have You NeverBeen Mellow' is a sensitive, soothing bal-lad.

The album is verv listenable and en-joyable, one which demonstrates Olivia'sbeautiful and versatile voice well,

Last Sunday at midnight, LSC sponsored a marshmallow roast onr Kresge Oval in a sortof perverse celebration of the dismnal failure of their New England premiere of MontyPython Meets Beyond the Fringe. LSC members lit a bonfire in a trashcan, starting theblaze with shredded copies of the film distributor's catalogue. Several others joined therevelry, and marshmallow and sticks were passed out. Ads and posters for the moviewere added to the inferno. Filrnclips were handed out to the eager crowd, and these toowere tossed into the fire with much ceremony. The gathering broke up after a while, alittle sticky from the charred marshmallows, but satisfied with the bacchanalian desecra-tions that they had performed on that ill-fated movie.

Introduction to the design processin engineering, stressing thecreative aproach. Problem defini-tion and concept generation...

Provided with a small electricmotor. a few pieces of wood, avenetian blind slat, and assortedother "'goodies," the students in2.70 had to use all the creativitythey could muster to solve theproblem of getting what theybuilt to the top of a hill of sand.One other problem existed: theywould be competing against eachothers devices. There would beonly one winner.

In two days of tense competi-tion about 145 students felt theagony of defeat before the con-test neared the final round."Probably the most excitingfinale we've ever had" declaredInstructor Woodie C. Flowersafter John E. York '80 (upperright) narrowly defeated Lee A.Boy '79 (upper left) for the titleof "Thing of the Mountain.'

Although the over-capacitycrowds in 26-100 had seen vehi-cles tipping over, diggingthemselves into the sand or notdoing anything at all in earlierrounds, Professor Flowers notedthat the final rounds were "veryclose" with "well designed, wellbuilt machines competing againsteach other."- Photo essay by David Schaller

quently stymied at the net due tothe greater height of their op-ponents. Referring to UNH,Coach Castanon admitted, "Thisis an excellent team.'" It is also alarge team. Frequent substitu-tions kept UNH fresh. MIT couldhave no such relief. "We are asmall team and we must com-pensate (for this) by hustling,"Castanon remarked.

Although a quick start gaveMIT a 4-1 advantage in the se-cond name, UNH was now betterprepared. UNH soon made up

the difference, and then theaudience was treated to an in-credibly exciting battle betweentwo expert teams. The score stow-ly inched upwards until it stood atnine points apiece.

UNH then took the lead. 10-9.This sparked the Engineers intoan outburst of brilliant pta',lngwvhich resulted in their regainingthe lead and working up to onepoint from victory. 14-10. Therethen came almost ten minutes inwhich the serve changed hands atleast a dozen times before MIT

the second game, but that's aboutas far as the team got. TheEngineers ran right overWheaton, bringing the score up to11-1 in MIT's favor withoutany problems. A small rally onWheaton's part a little later madethe score 13-7, but soon after thatM IT won the game and thematch, 15-7.

This was the first time thejunior varsity girls had everplayed against a varsity team. AsCoach Castanon put it. "JV wasnervous, otherwise the) playedvery well."

MIT had a rest while UNHplayed Wheaton. There was noreal competition in this matchwith UNH winning it in twogames, 15-7, 15-1. Then came thetough match of the evening.

As soon as the first game of theMIT-UNH match started, onecould see that this was going to bea long, slow contest where eachpoint would have to be won bydint of superior skill. AlthoughMIT generally had control of thefirst part of this game, and wasable to get the score up to 8-2 inits favor, UNH was by no meansbeaten.

After several turnovers andmany exciting volleys, the scorestood at l11-8 for MIT. At thispoint the Engineers took over,and went on to win, 15-8.

zenegger or Rod Laver or HankAaron, then who needed it? Big deal.Could Einstein do layups?

The Old Fitness is still irrelevant tome. For years I thought that was theonly fitness there was.

Fortunately for me. and manyothers who have been turned off overthe years by the Old Fitness. it is nolonger the only system. Ifv you read thelatest literature on sports and exer-cise. you'll notice a distinct change.The experts are taking a turn to theEast--borrowing concepts and atti-tudes from Oriental philosophies----and also a turn to the new branches ofpsychology which emphasize humanpotential. From my viewpoint. thoseare turns for the better.

This New Fitness is:* A body-mind integration. The

physical, mental and spiritual are allinterrelated. The body is not a ma-chine that needs maintenance to runefficiently and works independentlyof the mind: it is a part of the wholeperson. Physical well-being improvesmental alertness, relieves anxiety andtension, even helps you sleep better.

· Noncomparative. You don't rateyourself against a "norm"; you setyour own standards, based on yourown needs and objectives. You alsoare free to set your own pace.

:.* Noncompetitive. You competewith no one, not even with yourself.There are no losers, only a winner---you. Some people are just noncom-petitive by nature and by body type.One exercise physiologist says 70percent of all body types are notrepresented at the Olympics becausecompetitive sports are only appro-priate for certain bodies. There are

: sports and activities. though. forevery body.

· Fun. Exercise and activity are tobe enjoyed. not taken like medicine. Ifyour only motivation fordoingsome-thing is that you should because it'sgood for you. you probably won'tcontinue it for long. You're alsomissing the point. Sport and recrea-tion aren't supposed to be work orpunishment. The play's the thing.

After reading some literature bymembers of the New Fitness school. 1have embarked upon a fitness pro-gram of my own. Nobody is moresurprised than me. I don't expect toever look like 0. J. or Arnold (orChris). but that isn't important.

The NeA Fitness recognize,, thatyou don't have to be an athlete to befit: and better vet. that vou need nottrain like an athlete to be a fitnonathlete. The idea is to meet '-ourown needs for your own body andyour own life. You don't have to .ork

at it; it's far better for you to play. Andvou don't have to do anything.

FringeBenefits of GettingFit

If you do decide to play. though.some fine fringe benefits may comeyour way. (Under the Old Fitness.many of these are supposed to bereasons why you niusi. without delay.make yourself fit. Advocates of theNewv Fitness are firm believers in thefly-catchingpropertiesofhone,,.)Thefringe benefits of fitness include these:

* Fitness improves appearance. Fatis stored energy. and it gets stored onvour body when you ingest morecalories than vou expend. An' exer-cise. strenuous or just swinging y'ourarms around, burns off calories. All ittakes to burn off 100 calories is a 20-minute walk, or a 15-minute bicycleride, ora nine-to 12-minute swim.ora10-minute jog. Exercise won't makeany dramatic changes in the short run.but exercise combined with a moderate

diet is the ideal way to take weight offpainlessly and stay trim.

Even if you don't need to lose an'weight. exercise can trim up _ourbody. As you exercise more, theproportion of muscle in your bodywill increase and the proportion of fat

'ill decrease. Muscle tissue is denserthan fat and takes less space: so e,,enwithout a drop in weight.exercisecanmake 'our body leaner.

* Moderate exercise has a tendencyto decrease appetite. which alsoworks to improve body appearanceby reducing the calories ingested.Strenuous exercise tends to increaseappetite: this is the body's naturalmechanism for getting enough calo-ries to meet its energy needs. U:nfor-tunately. as activity drops off, appe-tite does not respond in kind. Inactivepeople. consequently, have largerappetites than moderate exercisersand burn off fewer calories.

* Exercise relieves tension. Fitnessenthusiasts call exercise the best tran-quilizer known. And it makes sense.

Stress is the body's response to dangeror challenge: the heartbeat quickens,adrenalin rushes in, the senses leap toattention. This is called the "fight orflight" response, and it's a marveloussurvival instinct that has been pro-grammed in humans for millions ofyears. Unfortunately. we still experi-ence this response today. when there'sno one to fight and nowhere to takeflight, and the stress has nowhere togo. It stays inside the body in the formof ulcers, headaches or psvchoso-matic illness. Vigorous exercise, suchas running, swimmingorclobberingatennis ball, is fighting and fleeing----ordoing what the human body wasintended to do. And out flows thetension.

* Exercise stimulates mental alert-ness. Tension is a real energy drain,for one thing, so releasing tensionfrees mental energy for othertasks. Inaddition, exercise stimulates the flowof blood and oxygen to all parts of thebody, including the brain.

* There is a widespread belief--though scientific proof is not abso-lute --that regular exercise prolongslife. It has been proven, however, thatperforming certain exercises regu-larly can increase the efficiency of theheart, lungs and circulatory system.This certainly ought to prolo nglife. orat least protect you from heart andrespiratory diseases.

* Some fitness enthusiasts claimexercise can get you high. They saythat after 30 to 45 minutes of con-tinued exertion. the bodvgets a"thirdwind." which results in a peacefulstate of mind not unlike meditation inwhich thoughts and images float pastand connect in creative ways.

* Finally. all the New Fitnessexperts and many of the Old Fitness

advocates insist fitness stimulates thesex life. You look sexier because vourmuscle tone is firmer, and yvou haveallsorts of surplus energy and vitality.

Yessir, coach! Which backstop didyou say?

PuttingTogether YourPersonal FitnessProgram

What exactly is fitness? Howu doyou know whether you are fit?

Under the Old Fitness this questionis answered by taking a few tests andcomparing your performance to the"norm." The New Fitness leaves everyindividual to arrive at his or her ownanswer, based upon individual needs.personal goals and different life styles.

The N'ew Fitness definition is lessprecise but more flexible: you are fit ifyou can work effectivelv all day atyour normal tasks; if you haveenoughenergy left at day's end to invest inleisure activities; and if vou have thestamina and strength to withstand anunexpected physical emergency--running a block to catch a bus. forinstance, or rearranging all yourfurniture.

By this definition, a healthy, phvsi-callv fit accountant would not be inthe same shape as a healthy, physi-cally fit lumberjack. But there's noneed to be.

Fitness can be divided into threebasic factors: endurance. strengthand flexibility.

Of the three, endurance is the factorthat is most often cited as the kev

indicator of Fitness. And the exerciseswhich build endurance have thegreatest effect on your overall health.If you perform a rhythmic or -aero-bic" exercise long enough. oftenenough and hard enough. some defi-nite physical changes take place insideyour body. The arteries leading intoXour heart enlarge: new capillariesdevelop around the heart: the heartpumps moreefficiently, forcing moreblood through the body with eachstroke and resting longer betweenstrokes. The lungs also work moreefficiently. processing more oxygenwith each breath. These changes arecalled "training effect."

The exercises which can provideyou with training effect include jog-ging. swimming. bicycling, brisk ualk-ing. rotting. rope-skipping. someforms of dancing. skating. hiking.cross-country skiing. and vigorousgames of basketball. handball. squash.hockey. tennis (singles) and soccer.But the physical changes happen onlyif you do three things:

I. Exercise at enough intensity toincreasevour heart rate to between 7()and 85 percent of its maximum rate.(The maximum is roughly 220 minusyour age for males. 226 minus sourage for females: for a 20-year-oldmale. the maximum rate is 200 bheatsper minute. and exercise must heintense enough to achie\earateof 140to 170 beats per minute.)

2. Keep your heart rate at 70 to 85percent of maximum for at least 10minute-s. and eaentuallv for 20 min-utes or more.

3. Perform this intensive exerciseregularly. at least three times a week(preferabl, every other day).

It's an all-or-nothing proposition.All three of these requirements mustbe met, or no training effect takesplace. It takes several months ofregular exercise to accomplish thephysical I changes.

Using a stopwatch or a sweepsecond hand, count the number ofbeats in 15 seconds, and multiply-bv four. You cannot get an accu-rate count irnmediatelv after stren-uous exercise if you count for anentire minute, because the heartrate drops off quickly.

offers a series of exercise programs ineight different activities which willmeet all three requirements for achiev-ing a training effect. The routines canbe tailored to your individual needs.

Although endurance exercises arethe most beneficial. by themselvesthey are seldom enough to assurefitness. An important reason is thatwithout adequate strength and goodflexibility, you will quickly injureyourself attempting to do enduranceexercises. Jogger's knee. tennis el-bow. strained backs, pulled musclesand other ailments which often hitpersons early in their fitness pro-grams-and often terminate thoseprograms forever-can be avoided bysupplementing jogging, tennis andother endurance-building activitieswith some muscle-developing andmuscle-stretching routines.

The fastest and surest way toincrease muscular strength is byworking with weights. This can meanlifting hefty barbells in a gym. or it canmean simply supplementing calis-thenics by adding five- to ten-poundweights to the routines. (And women.weight training will not give youmuscles like Arnold Schwarzenegger.Big, bulky biceps are a biproduct ofthe male hormone testosterone; wo-men can get stronger without gettingbigger. In fact, the last six winners ofthe Miss Texas pageant have liftedweights to shape up for M iss Americacompetition.)

There are other exercises that willadd strength in specific musclegroups. such as sit-ups (abdomen)and push-ups (arms). A few of thesemay suffice to keep your elbows andknees in working order.

Flexibility is extremely importantif you are already doing enduranceexercises. Generallv, flexible bodies

i absorb more stress with less injury--like willow trees that bend with thewind but don't break. Specifically.some exercises develop -- but alsotighten and shorten-key muscles.Running shortens thecalf. hamstringand lower back muscles, for exam ple.Unless running is supplemented withflexibility exercises to stretch thesemuscles out again. the body gets outof alignment and the inevitable resultis injury.

Ballet is one ofthe best exercises forall-around flexibility. Yoga alsocomes highly recommended as agentle. gradual way to stretch tautm uscles.

Any comprehensive physical fit-ness plan of the Old Fitness school--for example, the Royal Canadian AirForce and Y MCA programs--willinclude both strength and flexibility

i exercises that you can handpick foryour needs.

Tips for theNovice

If you're gearing up for a littlephysical activity. here is some generaladvice to keep in mind before youstart:

· Always warm up for at least 10minutes before beginning any strenu-ous activity. It's a shock to your heartwhen vou bound from a virtualstandstill to a full-tilt gallop. Workyour way up slowly.

· Equally important is to cool downfor at least 10 minutes when you havefinished exercising. When your mus-cles ha e been pumping overand o, erand suddenly you.stop. sit down orstand still, blood tends to pool inthose muscles. In many cases you willfeel faint ---- because not enough bloodis leaving those muscles for yourbrain. So decrease activity graduall.If you have been running hard orplaying tennis. keep walking andswinging yourarms to moxe the bloodaround.

o Don't strain. Many exercise pro-grams end after one week. when awell-intentioned but overly enthusi-astic fitness novice tries to do toomuch too soon. and ends up withaches and pains and sprains. Startslowiy, don't ever push vourselfto thepoint of collapse. and let everythingtake its course gradually. Nothingabout fitness is instant. But what

takes a long time also may last a longtime.

* Don't exercise immediately aftera meal. This mav lead to nausea. Waittwo hours. If you cannot exercise onan empty stomach. drink some wateror juice and wait a few minutes. Thereis nothing harmful. hoswever. indrinking water in the middle of a hotset of tennis.

* Pay attention to pain. That'snature's w av of tellin gyou somethingis wrong. Pain is an earl, Learningsignal. and if you persist in the face ofpain you are askine for more seriousinjuries. When it hurts. ease up.

I wouldn't trade mr hod, foranybody's. In the years we'xe beentogether I hate become rather at-tached to it. At the same time. I couldstand to improse it a good bit.

Msy own fitness progran is in itsfourth week now. Fine evenings aweek. my lovely partnerand I slip intoour shorts and shoe,. stretch for I()minutes. then jog a mile on a urassvboulevard. %We walk for another 10)m inutes or so to cool do un. t hen call itquits.

This program has endurance andflexibility training but no strengthexercises. Perhaps are should addthem. I.ast weekend while cleaningout the basement. a cast-iron bathtubpinned me to the , all and ,,mashed nmvfinger. If it happens again we may addsome push-ups. or co.en lift ,eitghts.but for the moment w e feel contentlifting forks.

I neer thought I W.ould exerciseagain. e.er. But it is fun. It relte,.estension. boosts mynenerg _. suppressesmN appetite (ecer ,,o scighti' ) andmakes me feel good about m self. It'smy program. at m, pace, for mxnneeds, and the only iudge of , hetherit's successful or adequate is yourstruly .

I hereby declare It adequate andsuccessful.

Here's hoping ou en.lo . our fit-ness just as much. O

' of plant protein foods. such as rice-and-beans or wheat-and-beans.

Carboh'drates (starches and sugars)provide your body with immediateenergy. Your brain and nervous sys-

! tem must be powered by the sugarglucose to function. Because of itsimportant energy function, the bodymakes glucose from both aminoacidsand fatty acids, as well as from othersugars and starches. This meansthat.in essence, you probably don't evenhave to eat any carbohydrate. How-

! ever. in real life, people eat carbo-h hydrate foods as filler: for example.bread. The body concerts oversup-plies of glucose into starch (glycogen)which is temporarily stored in theliver and muscles for use as needed.

You don't need much fat, but youdo need some. You especially needlinoleic acid and arachidonic acid.Your body can make the second if ithas enough of the first. You getlinoleic acid in such vegetable oils ascorn. peanut and safflower oils (butnot olive or coconut oil). You needfats to maintain cellular membranes.store certain vitamins (A.D.EK).keep your skin supple and be involvedin the workings of some hormones.Body fat is the long-term energystorage depot.

You eat grams. ounces and poundsof protein. carbohydrate and fat e% eryday. The other nutrients vou eat arecalled micronutrients because youonly need milligrams or less of each.These include vitamins. minerals andtrace metals. Ifvou eat a well-roundeddiet you should get enough of theessential vitamins (A.C, D. E. K and allthe B's). as well as the importantminerals such as iron, calcium. phos-

phorus. potassium. zinc. iodine.fluorine. But to make sure you get itall, taking a vitamin-mineral supple-ment every day is wise. (Vegetariansneed to be sure they get Vitamin B.otherwise available only in animalfoods.)

What's a 'Balanced' Diet?A balanced diet means eating foods

from the basic four food groups---dairy products. protein. fruits-vege-tables and cereals-grains. You alsoneed to drink about one-and-a-halfquarts of water orliquidsa day. Eatasmuch uncooked, fresh produceas.voucan. and as few highly processedfoods as possible. That's often noteasy atcollege. especially if you liveina dorm. But it can be done.

The best advice on whatand howtoeat issummarized in the 1977 goern-ment publication. Dietary Goals forthe tU'nited States. prepared by thestaff of the U.S. Senate's SelectCommittee on Nutrition and HumanNeeds after years of hearings andresearch. The committee ,ayvs * e ca nall get thinner and lixe longer by

reversing our national over-consump-tion of food in general and of fat(especially saturated fat). cholesterol.sugar. salt and alcohol. in particular.It recommends that you:

* Eat less meat and more fish andpoultry.

* Replace whole milk with skimmilk.

* Cut back on eggs. butter andother high-cholesterol sources.

· Cut back on sugar. to 15 percentof your daily calories.

* Cut back on salt. to a total of threegrams a day.

e Eat more fruits. vegetables andwhole grains.

According to the report. 12 percentof your daily calories should beprotein. The report also recommendsthat you eat morecarbohvdrates thanfat (especially complex carbohydrateslike fruit-sugar and starch). Carbo-hydrates should constitute 58 percentof your daily caloric intake. of whichsugar can be as much as 15 percent.The remaining 30 percent of caloriesyou consume should befat ( 10 percentsaturated. 20 percent unsaturated).

What Do Calories Do?Proteins. carbohydrates and fat

'NOTE: For young women between 18 and 25, subtract 1 pound for each year under 25. The absence of a simrnlar measurement rulefor young men between 18 and 25 is explained in part by the difference in growth periods for the sexes. Young women don't growmuch taller after age 16 and add little weight after the age of 18. except for unwanted fat. On the other hand, the growth period ofyoung men may continue Into their early twenties.

How To Construct Your PersonalDiet Plan

If you have dieted before. vouprobably know there is a long-standing debate between the low-calorie dieters and the low-carbohv-drate camp. Let it be said once and forall that the only way to lose weight isto reduce calories. If you eat mostlyprotein and fat--as the low-carbohv-drate proponents instruct-yvou willonly lose weight if the calories are few.What protein you don't need rightaway is converted to carbohy drate.and excess carbohydrate becomes fatto be stored.

Any effective diet plan will meanreducing calories. and those caloriesshould be distributed among protein.carbohydrate and fat in a balancedway. To start. you first need to knowhow many calories a day to eat. Toestimate this total. multiply yourdesired weight by 12. You probablyknow what weight makes you lookand feel good. but if not. consult astandard height-weight chart. The 12represents the number of caloriesyou'll need to maintain a pound ofbody weight ev ery day. This assumes

learn to assume many ofthese positions for ex-tended periods of time asan aid to concentration.Few muscles are leftuntouched as the body islimbered and relaxed.

ZEN SPORTS. Zen andyoga concepts of relaxedconcentration have fil-tered through to thesweaty world of tennis andother Western sports. Aleading guru here is TimGallwev. author of TheInner dame of Tennis. Inhis tennis clinics. Gallweytries to get his pupils totake their conscious, criti-cal selves off the frontlines and let their innerselves take over.

In brief. the main idea isthis: the harder vou try.,the less effectivelx youperform. Your inner.nonverbal. instinctual selfknows better than yournervous. nagging. con-scious mind how to fieldthat ball. Gallwev teachesa series of exercisesdesigned to release thisinstinctual response andlet the tennis player movewithout constantly moni-toring. criticizing andworr.ing about his nextaction.

A similar approachappears in Eugene Her-rigel's Zen and the A rt ofArchery, in which thestudent must struggle tolet "it"-his instinct-shoot the arrow straightA scientific explanation ofthis mystical-soundingprocess is that thistechnique quiets the ver-bat. critical right-handside of the brain. allowingthe nonverbal left sidewhich usually guides bodymovement to take overand control your play.

SHIATSU. Shiatsu.which literally means"finger pressure" is aJapanese method of mas-sage based on the fact thatwhen you experience pain,the instinctual response isto rub the place that hurts.Shiatsu specialists explainthat the body manu-factures energy to contractthe muscles by converting

nutrients into glycogenand combining this withoxygen. This produces aresidue of lactic acid,which can accumulate inmuscles during times offatigue to create impropermuscle contractions andillness. Shiatsu fingerpressure on an improperlycontracted muscle cansupposedly cause most ofthis lactic acid build-up toconvert to glycogen-eliminating the painfulcontraction.

Shiatsu uses the thumbs.fingers and palms of thehands. Treating a specificillness usually requirespressure at some pointnear the body part that'sailing. Sometimes. how-ever. pressure is applied todistant areas; pressure onthe soles of the feet may beused to relieve kidneyproblems. while pressureon the left hand issupposed to strengthen theheart. Each pressure lastsonly a few seconds andusually produces a sensa-tion midway betweenpleasure and pain.

DO'IN. Do'In is self-massage, an ancient methodof diagnosing and quick-curing body ills whichstarted as a secret teachingin the Orient.

CoordinatingMind/Body iSignalsRELAXATION RE-SPONSE. Dr. HerbertBenson's concept of the"relaxation response" isdesigned to provide every-day relief for the anxietiesof our achievement-ori-ented. hyped-up, pressure-ridden society. Tension orstress produces a "fight orflight" response in thebody originally designedto help primitive man fightoff saber-toothed tigersand related problems. Inour modern. highly stress-ful society. that response isproduced so often that itcauses illness and disease.According to Benson,each of us also possesses anatural mechanism whichallows us to turn off thisfight or flight response andits harmful effects.

To produce the relaxa-tion response. Bensonsuggests that the indi-vidual pick a calm. quietenvironment. kick off hisshoes. loosen any tightclothing and sit in acomfortable chair. Heshould then let the mindfloat along, refusing tofocus in on any noises orother distractions. Thenext step is to repeat acalming mental device-.such as a word, phrase.prayer or meaninglesssound -- spoken silently inthe mind or in a slow,gentle tone with eachexhalation. Practicing thisresponse for 10 to 20minutes a day can result indecreased oxygen con-sumption. lower bloodpressure. slower heart rateand an all-over sense ofwell-being. This exercise isessentially a form ofmeditation. Packaged some-what differently. it's alsopracticed by students ofTranscendental Meditationand Zen Buddhism.CHRONOBIOLOG Y.Most people operate onsome type of cyclicpattern-eating. sleeping.working and playing on aregular schedule. We be-come more aware of this ifwe suddenly upset the

pattern by taking a jet tripor staying up too late.Now there's a good deal ofclinical evidence that thepattern goes a whole lotdeeper: temperature. heart-beat, blood pressure, celldivision and other bodyfunctions apparently re-spond to definite sets ofrhythms. Short-term rhfithmswith a cycle of 90 to 100minutes are called ultra-dian rhythms, and rhythmsrepeated with a 24-hourperiod are called c(ircadian.

Chronobiologists believethat awareness of yourown specific and personalbiorhythms can help ex-plain why you are up

i sometimes for no apparentreason and down at other

, times. More importantly.it can help you plan yourpersonal schedule in orderto work, studs and rest atthe most efficient times.At the moment. no one isquite sure what controlsthe intensity and durationof biorhvthms. Hlotwever.you can roughly chart,y'our own pattern bykeeping a physiologicalrecord for a few weeks.noting variations in suchthings as temperature.mood, energy or sleepi-ness. You can then usethese notes to work out

our own best dailyschedule.INTENSIVE JOURNAI,THERAPY. Dr. Ira Pro-goff has developed Inten-sive Journal Workshopswhich place special em-phasis on what he calls"dialogs with the body."According to Progoff. ouremotions. hopes and deepinner experiences areconnected in our mindswith body movements.Participant, in his work-shops list "steppingstone"memories of the body suchas being tossed in the airby a playful father.Ilooking up at a tall adultand thinking how smallyou are, running in the

, snow. playing games.breaking a leg. seeing asunset, dancing. sweating.

i ss;imming fighting. makinglove or climbing amountain.

The student is taught tosee his body as an innerperson who receives these

experiences. By carryingon a mental dialog withthis inner person andkeeping a written recordof the conversation. thestudent gets some insightinto his own feelings abouthis body.BIOFEEDBACK. This isa technological answer togetting in touch with yourbody. The method usesvarious machines to feed asubject biological infor-mation about his muscletension. heartbeat. bloodpressure--even his brainwaves. Using this infor-mation, the individual istrained to mentally directhis muscles or bodvfunctions to relax orperform more efficiently.

Biofeedback training hasbeen used to regulatehypertension, help peopleenter different states ofconsciousness and even re-train damaged nerve sys-tems. A muscle often usedin biofeedback is thefrontalis muscle in theforehead. A subject ishooked up to a machinewhich measures tension inthis muscle and givesvisual or audible signals torelax. With the help of thisprecise. instantaneous in-formation. you can betrained to mentally, con-trol your own tension levelmore quickly than youcould without mechanicalmonitoring. Similar train-ing is now used to improveathletic skills.

Martial ArtsTAI C'HI CH ' AN. Taichi ch'uan. sometimescalled "Meditation inMotion." is an ancientsystem of health-givingexercises rooted in Chinesereligious teachings. Liter-alli translated as "theultimate principle." itplays out the Chinese Yin-Yang concept of balancebetween opposing forceswith the slow continuousshift of body weight fromone leg to another.

Tai chi looks like agraceful. effortless ballet,especially if you watch aclass moving through theforms in unison. Althoughsome t'ai chi styles can beused for combat at

advanced levels, the disci-pline is most oftenpracticed for exercise andrelaxation. There are 1 28movements. traditionallypracticed at dawn anddusk. Many carry exoticnames such as "'WhiteSnake Sticks Out Tongue"or "Golden Cock Standson One Leg." An abbre-viated version of thesemovements is performedby millions each dav in thePeoples' Republic of China.The exercises, which are awhole lot harder than they

kung fu to Westerners usescircular motions similar tot'ai chi forms but deliveredwith much greater speedand force, and directedagainst.an opponent.Students of kung fu learnto lunge for the vulnerablespots on the opponent'sbody as they strengthentheir own pressure pointsand sharpen their reflexes.Punches, kicks and blocksare practiced in dance-likesets. Some kung fu stylessuch as the Eagle Clawteach scratching and goug-ing techniques. while others.like the Northern PrayingMantis. teach swordplayand quarterstaff combat.Like t'ai chi, the art takesmany years to learn.

JUJITSIJ AND JUDO.About 500 years ago infeudal Japan. samuraiwarriors perfected jujitsuinto an empty-handedform of combat. Literallytranslated as "gentlenesspractice," jujitsu was firstused in battle and latertaught as a character-building discipline whichfused mental concentra-tion with physical force.The art ofjudo. anoffshoot ofjujitsu, wasdeveloped in the 19thcentury as a competitivesport. Later on, a hybridofjudo. jujitsu and othermartial arts forms wasintroduced in the UnitedStates as Kodenkan jujitsu.which is taught today.

In both judo and jujitsu.the student advances througha system of colored belts

white for beginners throughblack for experts. A white-belt student spends a lot oftime learning to fall down,with the sharp smack ofthe arm against the mat tobreak his fall. Gracefulbody rolls bring him upagain into a combatstance. Grappling, throw-ing and escape techniquesare taught with quick,fluid movements. Moststudents of judo andjujitsu say they graduallydevelop more flexibilityand quicker reflexes.

KARATE. After WorldWar II. GI's brought theOkinawan art of karate tothe United States. As injujitsu, judo. and aikido,karate students dress inthe white pajama-like giand work up through aranking system of coloredbelts. Easier to learn thanother Oriental martialarts, karate uses sharpkicks and punches de-signed to strike and retreatin a single motion. Unlikethe circular forms of kungfu or the wedging andgrappling techniques ofjujitsu, karate stressesstraight. rigid blows whichemphasize speed and bal-ance. A bellowing "kiai"sound accompanies a blowto clear the diaphragmand summon extra forceto the attack.

You mav find this hard to believe.but you probably have just as muchenergy as Diana Dynamo. The dif-ference is that D. D. is maximizing herpersonal energn supplies.

You can use your own energyresources to tetter advantage, too.The payoff is tremendous. When voudrag, life drags: a good movie boresyou. lively books put you to sleep.gourmet food tastes bland and yourbest friends seem irrelevant. But w henyou feel energetic. life is fun for youand you are fun for others.

Convening low-energ, drag to high-energy enjoyment is not as simple asswallouwine a pill or taking a patentmedicine. Your personal cnergy isfound. or lost. in many differentaspects of vour life.

To understand this. visualize vour-self as a whole svstem. Just as in anecological life chain. every part ofyour system is interlocked with otherparts. A change in one affects others,and not always in obvious ways. It'spretty clear, for example, that gettingless than three hours ofsleep uiII leaveyou less than peppy the next da%. Butdid you ever think that there could bea connection between fatigue andconcerns abhout our love life ?Or thata change in eating habits could pos-sibly make you feel sleepy at oddtimes?

The links ofvour system that affectyour energy level fall into three broad

components: the phys-ical, theemotional andthe attitudinal. Maxi-mizing your personalenergy means bring-ing all three compo-nents into harmony.

I. Get Your Bodyin Good WorkingOrder

It's easy to see that =your physical condi-tion affects your en-ergy level in a multi-tude of ways. For in-stance, doctors saythat the people whoare most likely to report fatigue arethe very fat and the very thin-overeaters and undereaters. Over-eating puts extra weight on yourframe, which increases the burden onmuscles and organs and tends to wearthem out faster. Undernourishmentshort-changes the systern of its basicneeds for daily functioning. Crashdiets or occasional fasts can be physi-callv exhausting simply because theydon't provide the system with enoughenergy supply to keep itgoingnorma!y.

Quality counts as well as quantity.Junk food can provide quick bursts ofenergy. For more sustained efforts,though, such as a full day of attendingclasses or thinking through a termpaper. your system needs protein andvitamins and minerals and all thoseother good nutrients.

Sleep also has a direct effect onenergy. Y'ou need somrne. though it'simpossible to say how much isenoughand how much is too much. Ev-er-one's sleep needs are different. Togauge what's proper for your system'sneeds, some ex perts suggest you keepa record of how much vou sleepduringa vacation period. when you'renot tied down to a fixedschedule oraninsistent alarm clock.

.Air is a body fuel that most peopletake for granted. It is essential to thew-orkings of all the internal organs.particularly the heart and brain.Ob viously vy ou're getting enough airto live on. hut increasing your airintake makes the body organs wsorkbetter and increases energy.

tations. When sou feelhelpless and worthlessand lonely and beaten.you also feel ex-hausted. Depression

01 often is manifest as aloss of interest in anyactivity, loss of appe-titer headache, sleep-lessness or nausea.

The emotional com-ponent of fatigue doesnot lend itself to quickfixes and instant cures(though some suffer-ers turn to drugs withexactly that in mind).

¢<H>9Stf ;[z But there are a few

- things that you can doto help release theenergy you are in-vesting in stress. worryand feeling blue.

One is exercise.Stress that has no outlet leaves behindtense muscles. high blood pressureand shortness of breath, Exercisereleases the -fight or flight" mecha-nism as it was intended to be re-leased---fleeing down the cinder track,beating a tennis ball's brains out.taking a punching bag to lunch.swimming, or whatever happens to beyour favorite vigorous activ itsv. Exer-cise drains tension from the musclesand acts as a soothing tranquilizer ('inaddition to restoring alertness asmentioned earlier).

It also takes care of the high bloodpressure and shortness of breath, ifyou exercise regularly enough tobuild up your heart and lung.. (This iscovered in more detail in the article onpage 4.)

Another way to counter stress isthrough relaxation. Deep relaxationtechniques, such as those taught inyoga and Transcendental Meditation,turn off the "fight or flight' responseby quieting the nervous system thattriggered the response. At the sametime, relaxation allows vour mind abreak. By taking a few minutes to letyour mind go blank. you can releasethe energy that you were spendingdealing with worry and depression.Practitioners of all the relaxationtechniques claim these gain renewedalertness as well as physical rest.

3. Get Totally Involved in WhatYou Do

The third component of personalenergy. attitude, is probably the mostcrucial. it falls into place, however.

is the most obvious, but often it is theleast significant.. Doctors estimatethat four out of five patients whocomplain of fatigue are in fact com-plaining about an emotional prob-lem, not a physical one.

Stress is a major factor. Stress is anecessary part of our lives and animportant survival mechanism, butoften it is channeled destructively intodistress.

Like your prehistoric ancestors,you frequently respond to personalthreats or loss with the"fight or flight-response-muscles tense, breath quick-ens, the heart pounds and adrenalinrushes into the bloodstream to pro-vide extra strength. Unlike the cavedweller, you often have no outlet forthis response-nowhere to run, no-body to fight. So stress stays inside,wearing you down not onlv as fatiguebut also as headaches, ulcers. asthma.low back pain and heart disease.

Anxiety is closely related to stress.Everyone experiences anxiety at sometime. You worny about things in thefuture, about whlat other people thinkof you, about whether you will suc-ceed or fail. about how you measureup to others in looks or abilities (orenergy level), about whether you arelosable and loving. Worrying takes alot of energy. You may also feel it insuch phvsical forms as nervousness.insomnia, irritability, lack of con-centration or sexual dvsfunction.

When anxiety turns into feelings offrustration or futility, the result isanother emotional energy drain. de-pression. Depression may stem from
