Volume 84, Issue 2 Sioux Falls, S.D. Thursday, Feb. 22, 1996 rote Aug Working up a good SWEAT BY BETH HAIVALA MIRROR STAFF WRITER This year's SWEAT Program, sponsored by the Augustana Wellness Task Force, provides incentive for keeping that health con-scious New Year's Resolution that was made two months ago to give up chocolate, to exercise more often, to lose those extra five pounds, or for shaping up that great bod before swim suit season. Open to all Augustana stu-dents, faculty and staff, SWEAT is an individually-based fitness and nutrition program which encourages the adoption of a healthy lifestyle while still in college. Teams of four compete for prizes in two divisions, a fac-ulty and staff division and a student division. The kickoff for the program was held Sunday, February 18, and the program will continue until Friday, March 15, with an awards brown bag lun-cheon to conclude the pro-gram on March 28. "The program was started to promote a healthy lifestyle. We believe lifetime habits start in college," said Jeri Smith, director of the Wellness Center. "We encourage people to develop goals that are lasting." Although all goals are based on an individual level, participants in the SWEAT program work as a four-per-son team to gain team points as well as reach individual goals. "The SWEAT program is unique in that it provides individual effort as well team effort. It really combines the best of all worlds. The team works together, but the goals are personal," said Tonya Schoenfelder, assistant director of Recreational Services and one of the orga-nizers of this year's SWEAT program. The program is based on six criteria, in which team points can be gained. The criteria include not only healthy eating and exercise, but points are also gained for quiet time, sleep, and for abstaining from alcohol and tobacco use. "People don't realize that wellness involves more that just fitness and nutrition," Schoenfelder said. "The SWEAT program cov-ers all realms of wellness," Smith said, "So people can participate at whatever phys-ical level they are at." According to Smith, the program has been running for about seven years, and she expects about 100 partic-ipants this year. "It's interesting," Smith said. We get a whole variety of people who come." People become involved in the program for a variety of reasons, and each individ-ual's goals are unique. Michelle Spence, a member of one of the student teams, expressed her reason for par-ticipating in the SWEAT pro-gram. "I want to be skinnier before spring break," she said, bringing a nods of agreement from her team-mates. But Schoenfelder reminds participants that weight loss is not the only benefit of the program. "Exercise provides many more things beside weight loss. Exercise builds muscles and bones, boosts the immune system, and Just makes you feel better." Rewards at the end of the program include T-shirts for every individual who meets his or her goal, as well as a $30 gift certificate for each member of the winning team in each division. Interested individuals can still become involved in the program by contacting the Wellness Center at 5552. This IS CINW. 451E CZT Vitn LLN FcR E.

Augustana students and faculty at "home" on the Internet BY AINA THUNEhl MIRROR STAFF WRITER In today's world the comput-er is a necessity for a lot of peo-ple, either for pleasure or busi-ness, if not both. With a com-puter, the right software and access to the Internet, many people are discovering the plea-sures of "surfing" the World Wide Web, which consists of hundreds of thousands of linked sites across the Information Superhighway. The key sites along this chain are called Homepages, and are maintained by individ-uals who link their Homepages to files and sites of interest to that individual. A growing number of students at Augustana are creating their own Homepages. Some make them for the flow of informa-tion one can receive or provide, and others are making them for pure amusement. "The Homepage is a comput-er file that is accessible to the world via Internet," said biology professor Oscar Will. Will taught a computer class deal-ing with the Internet during interim, and the students in the class could create Homepages for a project. Kenneth Hoidal, a student operat-ing his own page, says that the Homepage is won-derful equipment that allows one to collect information within one area and store it in a file. 'The Homepage itself," Hoidal says, i""noffooternl acuoonn-about the holder , of the page. One can also attach several links of information to it." These links can either be open for others to read or closed by a password. Hoidal, who is an interna-tional student, has made two links to his Homepage. One contains Norwegian news, and the other provides information about soccer and game updates. Will says that there are cur-rently about 30 Homepage owners at Augustana. This number includes both stu-dents and different campus offices. Will strongly reccom-mends students to open up their own Homepages and says that it is "a great way to exchange informa-tion and meet people over the Internet." Will also says that most people who open a Homepage are amazed at how easy it is. It is hard-er, however, to find access to the Internet. Will says that there may be a workshop for setting up Homepages on Internet this semester, but encourages stu-dents to call him if they are interested in creating a Homepage of their own. If you have access to a corn-puter, Internet access and a web browser such as Netscape, you may wish to visit some of the Augustana related Homepages. One can visit Will's homepage at http://Joe- Pye.augie.edu/owhome.html or http://www.augie.edu/ for Augustana's own Homepage. Other Homepages of interest include a listing of student owned pages at http://www.augie.edu/, KAUR's Homepage at http://inst.augie.edu/-kaur/ and a Homepage guide to everything you ever wanted to know about Augie but were afraid to ask at http: //wwvv.augle. e du /araugie .html. Brandon Bartels goes surfing on the World Wide Web Photo by Paul Krueger ASA campaigns begin BY PAUL KRUEGER MIRROR STAFF WRITER As the presidential candidates kickoff their campaigns nation-wide, Augustana will be holding its own election—for student government representatives for the 1996-97 school year. The Augustana Student Association Spring Election will be held Tues., March 12. Students will be electing a new ASA president and vice presi-dent, secretary/treasurer, and two senators from each respec-tive class. Petitions and election informa-tion is available at the Commons desk. The deadline for returning petitions is Tues., Feb. 27 at 5 p.m. Senators must have and main-tain a 2.0 GPA during their term of office. ASA officers must have and maintain a 2.5 GPA during their term. All terms are approx-imately one year. If more than two sets of candi-dates run for ASA president/vice CINDY E 0 YEARS OLD president or secretary/treasur-er, a primary election to narrow the field to two candidates will take place on 'rues., March 5. All candidates are required to attend a mandatory meeting on Wed., Feb. 28 from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Election guidelines and campaign rules will be distrib-uted followed by attending the weekly Student Senate meeting at 8:30 in the Halverson Room. A "Meet the Candidates" night and a presidential/vice presi-dential debate is scheduled to take place on Mon., March 11 at 6 p.m. in the Commons Dining Room. For more information on the ASA Spring Election stop by the ASA information table in the Commons concourse on February 22, 23, 27 and 28 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. or contact ASA President Janelle Lee at 334- 5985.
