A five-member panel will dis
cuss the benefits of work experi
ence obtained through co-ops and
internships.
The discussion will begin at 7
p.m. in 601 Rudder Tower Tues
day, and employers and students
who have held internships, sum
mer jobs and co-op jobs will dis
cuss their experiences.
Employers from NASA’s John
son Space Center in Houston and
Electronic Data Systems in Plano
will be participating in the panel.
Pat White, assistant director of
the cooperative education office,
said the discussion allows stu
dents to decide the best alterna
tive for them to gain experience.
“Experience is vital to stu
dents’ successes after gradua
tion,” White said. “This gives
them a chance to decide if one is
better than the other for them.”
Jacqueline Salinas, a sopho
more journalism major, one of
three students on the panel,
said she worked for the child
support office in McAllen dur
ing an internship.
She explained that the govern
ment job was the best alternative
for her, because the staff was flex
ible with her schedule, and she
could plan how long she would
have the internship.
“The hands-on experience dif
fers from the school, book experi
ence because we had to deal with
the day-to-day problems related to
the workplace and communicate
with every type of person involved
in the career,” Salinas said.
In contrast to internships, co
op programs usually last for a set
amount time, and employers are
required to pay the students.
Nick Kliewer, a senior electri
cal engineering major who will
also be on the panel, worked for
Texas Instruments in Dallas for
three terms under the co-opl
gram. He said the salaries!
co-op jobs are an added boniii|
“The big, giant cherry i
the sundae is that you {

perience,” Kliewer said.
Nichol Powell, senior]
keting and management
worked for Mobil Corp. in
ginia and California underj
co-op program and will
her experiences with the;
el’s audience.
“I got to experience a 40lj
work week and see a cor
environment,” Powell said.
Kliewer said that whetherij
dents decide on an intemshipi
co-op job, the key opportunity
both is experience.

The Texas A&M Pro
fessional Sup
port Staff is
hosting a per
sonal safety and
self-defense work
shop Tuesday at noon
in 404 Rudder Tower.
Lt. Bert Kretzschmar, head
of the Crime Prevention Unit
for the University Police De
partment, will present a pro
gram outlining safety tips for
students and staff.
“This particular workshop is
going to concentrate on person
al safety and self-defense,”
Kretzschmar said. “We’ll be ex
plaining how not to become a
victim of a crime.”
Workshop attendees will be
instructed on what criminals
are looking for, how they go
about committing crimes and
how they can be avoided.
“The name of the game is
how to reduce the risk,” Kret
zschmar said.
In addition to the lecture on
safety and criminals, attendees
will be shown a short film on
self-defense techniques.
Mary Johnson, TAPSS presi
dent, said she has high hopes
regarding the program.
“We are hoping to get better
safety awareness out of it,”
Johnson said.
Kretzschmar said
the program is part
of the TAPSS cus
tom of having a
special presenta
tion every month.
“It’s an interesting
topic,” he said. “Hopeful
ly, we can educate some
of the staff members on
safety. There hasn't been
particular incident
that has spurred it.”
Dodie Janner, TAPSS
co-chairman of programs,
said that since anyone can at
tend, she expects a good
turnout.
“I’m anticipating 30-35 peo-
pie,” Janner said, “and it’s open
to everyone.”
The workshop is expected to
last an hour, and attendees are
welcome to bring a sack lunch.

If obsessive exercising and di
eting are primary aspects in your
life, ask yourself, “Am I doing this
for me or someone else?”
To be respected, loved, ad
mired and wanted is universal.
But, many healthy-sized college
students are going to extremes
of self-punishment in their
quests for bodily perfection.
In their quest, they spend
hours exercising, restricting fat
and counting calories.
What most of these avid dieters
may be striving for and expecting
is a model-like appearance and a
perfectly sculpted body.
The natural weight your body
maintains often differs from other
weight goals that you may be try
ing to achieve. Reach and main
tain a weight that will heighten
your physical health, while main
taining a healthy body image.
Body image is a complex com
bination of attitudes, feelings
and values. Your individual body
image should be synonymous
with body acceptance.
Body acceptance is the act or
process of respecting one’s body re
gardless of its current shape.
Society, culture and the media
create unrealistic ideals of body
image. For example, beautiful,
thin women and handsome, mus
cular men are constantly por
trayed as having fun, being suc
cessful and having all they desire.
The media also bombards us
with ads for diet programs, food,
drinks, fitness equipment and
exercise facilities. Overall, the
diet and fitness industries keep
getting “fatter” everyday, fueled
by our insecurities of our indi
vidual body images.
