Columns about subjects such as divorce and
Dili create a balance with those that are light
Jhumorous, Clay said. But for the most part,
book tends to lean toward the not-so-seri-
Ibe book’s primary columnists are Clay,
iquez and Stacy Feducia (former Battalion
aion page editor), but other writers are also
jaded.
'Voices From A&M” originally began as a
oiabout Generation X, or the “twenty some-
Clay said. However, after writing the
loduction to the book, the authors discovered
jning the term “twenty something” was not
tasy task.
'Our generation is so varied, we can’t be dis-
pished as one group with a certain set of
iracteristics,” Vasquez said. “So in the intro-
don we said ‘yes, we can be labeled as part
[he Generation X, but what does this really
ian?’ The answers will vary.”
Clay describes the columns in the book as
idess — readers can read them two or three
irsfrom now and they won’t be outdated.
What makes this book different from books
fl Bleed Maroon” and “Good Bull” is those
inks were written by people who are no
r here in the midst of tilings, Clay said,
were written by people who were reflect-
nck on their times at A&M.
this book is written by people who are
(it plop dab in the middle of it,” Clay said.

“And I think this in many 'ways makes it special.
It makes the book better for a student to read
and relate to than anything else being offered.”
The response to the book has been very posi
tive so far, Vasquez said. It is not only a survival
guide for those who are in it, but it will be an
album of experiences from Texas A&M for those
who are graduating and moving on, he said.
“This book articulates the experience, spirit
and memory of Texas A&M,” Vasquez said.
The book is a memento of what students
went through, of what columnists went
through, of what happened on campus, he said.
It not only tells what it was like at A&M during
the past two years, but it tells it in a humorous
way.
Favorites such as Feducia voicing her extreme
hate for “Gone With The Wind” or her dreaded
experiences with various body parts, Clay’s col
umn on the war in the Persian Gulf and
Vasquez’s columns on the credit card Gestapo
companies or the nightmare of parking are all
included in the book.
“These are experiences that happened to most
of us,” Vasquez said. “And they are also not-so-
typical thoughts people think and don’t dare say
out loud. These columnists wrote it down.”
He said the authors want to leave this book so
students can continue reading their columns.
“It’s kind of a gift to the school because
we’ve enjoyed it here,” Vasquez said, “but it’s
time to move on.”
“Voices From A&M” will be available for $ 10
in the MSC beginning the week of finals through
May 14. It will also be sold at Hastings and
Texas A&M Bookstore. Columnists will be auto-
ling copies of the book during its sale in
Kharbat
Continued from Page 2
bodybuilding is nutrition. She began di
eting in January, cutting out all junk food
and eating 1 5 grams of fat or less per day.
In February, Kharbat said goodbye to
milk and bread. And in March, she cut
out sodium.
“Sodium causes water retention and
you want your skin as thin as possible so
your muscles will show,” Kharbat ex
plained.
So what did the diet leave her with?
Pasta, plain-baked potatoes, salad, fruit,
chicken and tuna.
But even before she walked out on
stage that morning, Kharbat said she al
ready had begun to indulge with dough
nuts since fat doesn’t show up for three
days.
Between aerobics and weighdifting,
Kharbat usually spends one and a half to
two hours each day working out. She
teaches aerobics at Lifestyles Fitness Cen
ter, Royal Oaks Racquet Club and on cam
pus.
But while in training, she works out
three times per week for 45 minutes. She
said the short, intense workouts keep her
from burning out.
In addition to the physical preparation,
Kharbat said preparing for the bodybuild
ing competition required a good deal of
mental preparation.
“I had to be happy with myself before
I got up there in front of a lot of people,”
she said. “The dieting wasn’t that bad. . .
what bothered me was the outfit.”
Although Kharbat posed before an au
dience, she said her conservative back
ground had to be overcome as part of the
physical and mental preparation.
For Kharbat, bodybuilding has meant
results. She said increases in energy, con
fidence and self-esteem are some of the
benefits that make it addictive.
“You see results and it keeps you go
ing,” she said. “It’s one of the things I
will do forever.”
Kharbat said she was happy when the
competition was over and glad that she
had won. However, the victory isn’t the
most memorable part of the competition.
“The most important thing was that
my friends were there. That was more
important than winning,” she said. “It
was not like a showing off thing. It was
just cool to have the support.”
Kharbat said the most important facet
of bodybuilding for her is “an internal
satisfaction and appreciation of the body”
and a personal sense of accomplishment.
“It’s (bodybuilding) something that I
can control,” she said. “This is my mas
terpiece.”
Webster

and standing 5 feet 10 inches, Webster
described the rewards and the psy
chological addictions of
bodybuilding.
“I’ve gained higher self-esteem,
good health and it allows me to ex
press myself,” he said. “Before, I was
a skinny child who kept to myself.”
/ill
bodybuilding even though he’ll prob
ably never compete on a professional
level because of the widespread use of
steroids.
“People ask me if Tm going to go
pro,” Webster said, “and I say ‘Yes, if
it goes drug free.’”
He believes the use of steroids pro
vides somewhat of an unfair — and
unsafe — advantage over “natural”
bodybuilders.
“I hold my own, but to stand next
to some of those guys, it’s unreal,” he
said.
Webster cited a healthy diet — P a s-
ta, fruit, vegetables and potatoes, for
example — as the key to bodybuild-
ing.
He limits what he called “going
crazy” to once a week and after con
tests.
“After a contest, I normally take a.
week or two off from eating sensibly
to eat like a maniac.”
So what did Webster do after win
ning the championship? Disneyland?
He headed to Cafe Eccell to eat a
pizza and a few meatloaf sandwiches.
