“Obesity has its basis in unre-
[ved emotional problems. Over
ting serves as a substitute for other
fcfactions,” says Norman Kiell in
he Psychology of Obesity.”
Many times, when people are an-
ms, nervous, excited or scared,
|r will turn to food as a means of
Jthing their emotions.
“Food has been connected with
iny irrelevant things, says Dr.
ary Hope, a counseling psycho-
?st for the Texas A&M University
rsonal Counseling Service. “From
3 time you’re 2 years old, you asso-
ite feelings with food and the cues
gin to snowball.”
an example, consider one TV
imercial: “Let a Bundt cake do
. Let a Bundt cake say I
[e you.’’
Walking into the movies, the
ong smell of popcorn hits you in
3 face.
“People aren’t going to a movie
craving something to eat, ” says Mark
Schulman, theater manager, “but
the desire for something to munch
on is there. ”
Schulman’s Campus Theater aver
ages $10,000 to $12,000 yearly in
concessions, he said.
Another problem is that some peo
ple go on binges and later feel guilty
for eating.
“Fat guilt is an endless circle,”
says George F. Christians, author of
“The Compulsive Overeater.” “Be
cause I feel guilty, I eat because eat
ing kills the pain. And because I have
overeaten, I feel guilt. So I overeat.
Round and round. And rounder I
g°”
Hope said, “Overeating is partly
an emotional problem and partly a
behavioral problem. You can un
learn unhealthy eating patterns if
you know how to set up the right
reinforcers.”
Many people see dieting as a
means of losing weight, but it doesn’t
always work.
“Dieting is a seasonal endeavor,”
Peter Wyden says in “The Over
weight Society.” “Sales of diet pro
ducts increase in January and Febru
ary, when dieters suffer post-
Christmas guilt, and in May and
June when they strain to attain re
spectable bathing suit figures. ”
Many people have dieted away a
lot of pounds, only to find when they
start eating “normally” again, they
gain the weight back.
Currently, the most successful
way of dealing with overeating is be
havior modification, which operates
on the premise that all behavior is
learned, and that which is learned
can be unlearned.
“Daily counseling is the key to our
whole program,” Curry said, “be
cause you need daily encourage
ment.”
Hope said, “It takes a personal de
cision and a healthily directed anger
to want to change.”

Aggies who think they can pick a
perfect 10 should compare their
notes to the judges’ ballots in the
selection of Miss A&M University.
The Second Annual Miss A&M
pageant, hosted by the MSC Hospit
ality Committee, is scheduled for
February 1981, says Kim Lawrence,
pageant director.
The woman chosen as Miss A&M
may eventually go to the Miss Amer
ica pageant in Atlantic City next
summer. Deadline for entries is 5
p.m. Monday.
Applicants will be screened Nov. 8
and 9 to determine 20 finalists and 5
alternates.
Lawrence said two modeling
seminars, one each in December and
February, are scheduled. The semi
nars will aid participants in every
aspect of the pageant from makeup to
costumes.
“After the seminars, it will be diffi
cult to tell who really isn’t a model
because they all will look 100 percent
professional,” Lawrence said.
Three officials from the University
and two from the Miss Texas pageant
will judge. The judges will grade on
the standard pageant trials such as
swimsuit, talent, evening gown and
interview.
Prizes for the winner include a
$1,000 scholarship, a $1,000 war
drobe allowance, a 14 karat gold
necklace, the use of a 1981 Cadillac
Seville and various other gifts from
local businesses.
All the women who participate in
the contest, Lawrence said, gain an
educational experience that can be
valuable.
“Any woman who competes in a
pageant benefits in many ways: She
gains friends, poise, learns about the
University and most of all gains con
fidence in herself.”
Lawrence said the contest is not
only for the entrants but also for the
student body.
“We are involving every part of
the student body we can in the show;
after all, the pageant is for the whole
of the University.” The Singing
Cadets, the Aggienizers and All Uni
versity Variety Show winner Mike
Higgins will provide the entertain
ment. Master of Ceremonies is Dan
ny Fordyce, a professional singer
and dancer.
Last year’s winner, junior educa
tion major Kelly McElroy from
Humble, will crown her successor
Feb. 21 in Rudder Auditorium after
the evening gown and swimming
portion of the contest.
The MSC Hospitality Committee
is still accepting applications for the
contest which are available in the
Hospitality Committee cubicle,
Room 216 MSC.

E-Systems continues
the tradition of
the world’s great problem solvers,
Maxwell’s electro
magnetic field theory led to
huge practical scientific
advances. His light theory
led to his own development
of one of the first color
photos and the kinetic
theory of gasses.
Scientists and en
gineers at E-Systems are
carrying on in the tradition of
Maxwell’s genius. Today,
they are solving some of the
world’s toughest problems
in electronically steered
phased array antennas,
electromagnetic scattering
and solar ray concentration,
using his findings as tools.
E-Systems is main
taining a reputation for
designing and building
communications, data,
antenna, intelligence and
reconnaissance systems
that are often the first-of-a-
kind in the world.
