During an online chat about body weight last year, she met a webmaster who had created a contest in which young women would gain weight as a statement against the "thin is in" trend. Sanderson became interested in the contest. "Since I am a freshman in college, I suggested calling it 'Freshman 15 which is what I was trying to avoid this year," she said, referring to the myth that students gain 15 pounds their first year in college. The concept of the contest was to track how quickly women could gain 15 pounds and show young women enjoying life while gaining weight. F.ach day, the contestants' progress was recorded, and a daily photo was posted on the site. "I was actually supposed to be the first contestant, but I chickened out," Sanderson said. After watching another girl go through the process, rebels armed with automatic rifles and shotguns stormed a hotel in central Istanbul on Sunday and seized an unknown number of hostages, the Anatolia news agency reported. The rebels are apparently demanding to speak with Turkish t, Interior Minister Saadettin Anatolia said.

Lima, With the implementation of the d Code of Student State University Ohio Conduct, facc can students university jurisdiction well beyond the vicinity of the campus area. Under the new code, the university may punish students for serious enough infractions anywhere on the planet. "With the new code, it doesn't matter whether it was in Athens, Ohio, or Australia. Jurisdiction is bound to the four corners of the earth," said Pat Hall, director of Student Judicial Affairs at OSU. While the geography of an offense docs not matter under these updated guidelines, the manner of an offense does. For a student to be punished for an infraction away from campus, however, he or she will probably have to commit a more serious crime. Offenses involving police activity or violence will "definitely result in jurisdiction... by Ohio State," Hall said. The code also applies to conduct in professional practice assignments, academic course requirements such as newly-revise- Although contestants are allotted one month to complete the process, Sanderson managed to gain the 15 pounds in iy days. "The freedom of eating.. .without having to worry about the calorics or fat content was awesome," she said. "For the first time in years, I was eating Whopper meals without guilt." The success of "Freshman 15" has given rise to a second contest the "Beer Belly Challenge." e fan of the Scth Willis, a Web site, came up with the idea of this new challenge. "This type of challenge is different from what we usually see in the media. It doesn't promote eating disorders or dieting," Willis said.

Peru's military maintains that the plane failed to identify itself and was flying without a flight plan in an area frequented by drug traffickers. Missionary Veronica "Roni" Bowers, 35, and her infant daughter were both killed. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS During a time when hundreds of prospective students are visiting the Tufts University campus, University Facilities removed chalkings and other decorations promoting the acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) students. The move has sparked a controversy over students' rights to free speech when that speech conflicts with the message the university wants to send DmIvUtah. group of 20 students chalked throughout campus on Wednesday night, and placed rainbow ribbons in trees. The goal of the campaign was to make prospective LGBT students aware of the support system and resources available at Tufts. Facilities removed the ribbons and banners after a phone call from an admissions chronicle THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE is an independent student newspaper published daily Monday through Friday during Fall and Spring semesters (excluding test weeks and. holidays) and weekly during Summer Term.

LGBT students have questioned the university's actions, saying that their banners had good intentions. "It was something that was good and welcoming, and there was no reason why it should have been taken down," said Angel Vail, the Tufts Transgendered, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Collective representative to the Tufts Community Union Senate. "We wanted to welcome prospective students, and to let them know that queer students and their allies are welcome here," said Phil Anwar, the manager of the Rainbow House.

While the Code of Student Conduct continues to be a topic of debate at OSU, most other major Ohio colleges view it as standard procedure. Allen Hayley, Ohio University Campus Police Administrator, said disciplining students for acts committed off the campus grounds is nothing new. "I have worked here in Athens for seven years, and never have we not taken action on a student for serious offenses committed away from the college." The new code also includes a stipulation relating to any wrongdoing while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It will no longer be considered a mitigating factor but an aggravating factor. "Two people can do the same two acts, but if one was done under the influence, that person can receive a much more severe sanction than a person who did the same act without the influence of alcohol or drugs," Hall said.

"When I put on the lights I saw white chalk all over our red bricks, and I thought it didn't look very nice," she said. "I didn't even see what the message was." Grzyb said she asked Facilities to clean up the chalkings because she thought they worsened the building's appearance during April Open House. "It was just a simple little thing.... I didn't realize there was a problem," she said. ."It was not intended to be malicious, but it was the wrong thing to do, to change, alter or erase someone's free speech," Dean of Academic Services and Student Affairs Kris-tin- e Dillon said.
