The image of the 90s is health and everyone
is trying to fit into the grooves — even the
Residence Dining Hall.
Shawn Olsen, a sophomore business major
who lives in Baker Hall, said, "It's up to the
individual to pass up the unhealthy choices that
arc offered."
CSUF Food Services do things because they
think the students will like them, said Jim
Prince, director of food services.
"Wc give the students what they want because if they don' t like what wc serve it will cost
us money," said Prince.
The Residence Dining Hall offers healthy
alternatives including: boneless, skinless grilled
chicken breasts, baked potatoes, steamed rice,
vegetables, fresh fruit, nonfat yogurt, nonfat
milk, nonfat and lowfal salad dressings, deli
sandwiches and an extensive salad bar.
QxxKinganicalisnotaboutrandomchoices,
said Kristi Brilcy, a dorm resident.
"The RDH offers rice, potatoes, vegetables
and fruit for both lunch and dinner," said the
sophomore liberal studies major. "I see a lot of
students making these health conscious decisions."
"A lot of the items are less fat," said Prince.
"Wc haven't been putting butter or salt on the
vegetables for 18 years."
This year the Residence Dining Hall has
introduced vegetarian items lo the menu.
"We place meaUcss burgers and all vegetable breakfast patties in and out of the menu,"
said Prince.
TJ. Harper, a sophomore psychology major
who is a residence assistant in the dorms, said
that he thinks most of the healthy choices arc
located off to the side, so it just takes a liulc
more effort to find them. A healthy meal for
Harper might include a choice of rice or pasta,
a grilled skinless chicken breast and a salad bar
with assorted vegetables.
"It's not up to me to teach the students what
they should cat or not," Prince said. "It has
always been up to mc to supply the students
with what they want."
Campus program aims at training peers

INSIGHT Peggy Holzhauer, a peer health educator for
CSUF has what is considered by many to be
an exceptional peer health education program.
It is a program that presents talks to and
assists students in the four main health areas:
weight management, eating disorders, body
image and nutrition.
The goals of the program arc to increase
students' knowledge and discussion of important health issues, and to narrow the gap between the health needs of students and the
services designed to meet those needs.
"Our attempt is to make students aware on
campus of some of the pitfalls that our society
forces on us," said Cy nthiaOsbomc, the project
coordinator and nutritionist health educator at
the university health center.
The peer health educators are students who
promote awareness of health issues through
educational activities. They also provide health
information regarding healthy lifestyle choices
and how to obtain appropriate professional
services for dealing with health problems.
"The projec t sounded I ike a good thing to get
involved in because I'm interested in how soci-
two
"In order to stop that from happening, more
people need to get involved in telling others
that that's not what it is all about and that wc
need to be happy with our bodies," she said.
Peer health educators make a two-semester
commitment, with up to eight hours a week,
four of them spent in training.
"It's a pretty big commitment timewisc,"
said Holzhauer. "It's a litlic bit straining, but it
works out fine."
The program is an opportunity for die students to improve public speaking skills.
"It doesn't mean that you have to be an
accomplished public speaker to be in our program," said Osborne. "It means that that is one
of the things wc arc going to do a lot of, so you
have to be willing to try."
The peer health education program is considered a class, and those who participate will
receive two units of credit each semester.
"It gives an opportunity for some hands on
experience that frcquendy is not available in
otherclasscs," said Osborne. "It leaches people
to be trained, to develop talks and actually give
them, but really to get out a positive health
message."
The training dial die peer health educators
receive teaches them several things.
"The most helpful thing is learning that
everyone has different values," said Holzhauer,
"and just because one person sees something as
important, doesn't mean that another person is
going to sec it as important."
The project, which started in 1986. has been
successful all along, with the exception of certain students attending die talks only to gain
extra credit for a class.
"The worst thing is when people don't respond when I'm supposed to be facilitating and
encouraging discussion," said Holzhauer. "If
they just sit there it's really frustrating because
it is all about getting people to talk about these
things."
Throughout die semester, the peer health
educators wdl be looking for applicants to join
the program beginning in the fall.
"1 am interested in becoming a part of the
program because I am a vegetarian for health
reasons, and I want to learn more about the
issues that the program deals with," said Kon
Rianda, a junior journalism major.

Lifestyle" at one of ihc four lectures presented during their April health forum.
CSUFPcerHcalth Educator participants
conduct health education activities related
to nutrition, healthy lifestyle, weight management, body image and eating disorders.
Peer Health Educators Heather Golway
and Valeric Laubacher led the discussion
explaining the correlation between wellness
and health.
Golway, a graduating senior studying
health science and community health, introduced "Healthy Lifestyle," the ihird lecture of the four part scries.
Golway explained that many "small"
daily choices influence health and wellness.
Golway said when people think of health
and drugs.
Laubacherexplained that these tips could
include quitting smoking, using alcohol and
drugs wisely, learning to handle stress, eating well, exercising regularly, thinking
"safety" and taking responsibility for your
actions.
For somepeople these modifications may
be drastic and for others they may just
include cutting out salt from their diet or
wearing their scatbelt when they get in their
ear.
Laubacher said that by iouowuig m
eight steps to a healthier lifestyle these
modifications can be more attainable and
worthwhile.
1. Select a behavior to change. Identify a
target behavior that you would bkelochangc,
like eating low fat foods or stop smoking.
2. Monitor the behavior. Become aware
of the frequency or the intensity of this
behavior. Maintain a record so you can look
back and monitor that behavior.
3. Identify your goals. This will help you
know where you are starting and where you
want to go. This prioritizes and builds self
esteem as you make small goals and you
achieve them so you can begin to work
toward your long term goals.
4. Determine readiness to change. Your

your health tomorrow, not only your
health today, is the first step

"Today ihink of it as health synonymous

healthy lifestyle," said Golway.
An unknownauthor defined health as the

Golway said the definition is an entirely

a lifestyle as well as the absence of disease.
Golway said, "With health and wellness,
your lifestyle and the choices that you make
from day-to-day,really determine your level
of health."
Students who attended the lecture were
asked to complete a healthy lifestyle quiz.
The quiz examined each student's
lifestyle in the following areas: smoking,
alcohol and drugs, stress, nutrition, fitness,
safely and preventive health and medical
care.
Upon the completion of the quiz, students learned just how healthy their particular lifestyle was. StudcnLs with high scores
were reminded that each choice made will
not only effect health today, but for years to
come.
Students scoring lowcron the quiz learned
that small modifications in their diet and
lifestyle would quickly raise their scores.
Laubacher, a senior health science and
community health major, took over at the
half-way point with helpful tips to improve
lifestyle utilizing the six dimensions of
wellness.
The six dimensions of wellness include:
nutrition, fitness, stress management, preventive health, safety and alcohol, smoking
own knowledge, self esteem, values and
personal health beliefs affect this. \
You have to want to change before you
will.
5. Select strategies. Incorporate small
changes in your life. Don't try to do everything at once.
6. Alter your surroundings. Change the
atmosphere at work or home to create a
change so it will not trigger certain behaviors. This will maintain your behavior
change.
7. Reward yourself. Pick meaningful rewards for yousclf that will help you move
forward.
8. Maintenance of behavior change. Focus on progress along the way. It takes
patience and persistence to make most
changes a permanent and normal part of
your life.
Laubacher said some of the benefits of a
healthy lifestyle arc self esteem, longevity,
saving money (on doctor bills, etc.) and not
having to lake time off of work due to
illness.
"Knowing that your choices today affect
your health tomorrow, not only your health
today, is the first step to a healthy lifestyle,"
concluded Laubacher.
"Recognizing these areas of wellness
throughout your life will lead to increased
happiness and longevity."
Upon the completing the lecture, CSUF
students left with a plethora of information
related to health and wellness.
"The lecture was very interesting and
informative," said Cristy Tharp, a junior
liberal studies major.
"lamglad that the campus provides these
types of lectures."
