The Low-Carb Craze: The Skinny on Losing
Weight and Maintaining Good Health
By Christie S. Gosselin
The low-carbohydrate craze is here
and if you're anything like the millions of
people that invest their time, money, and
energy into the bettering of their bodies,
it's likely that you've taken notice. In
fact, it's nearly impossible to avoid with
the words 'Atkins Approved!,' 'LowCarb!,' or 'South Beach Friendly!'
plastered on every magazine, menu, and
commercial we encounter.
Boasting an·easy to follow and
flexible meal plan and producing FAST,
noticeable results, the Atkins and South
Beach diets have acquired a gravitational
hold on today's food market that can only
be compared to the low-fat/no-fat fad that
you may remember from a few years back.
This fad insisted we increase our protein
and carb intake and significantly decrease
our fat intake.
What do each of these have in
common? The premise that by cutting out
a particular source of calories you will
lose weight, and fast. The truth? They're
right. When followed closely weight loss
is inevitable. The catch? Fast does not
necessarily mean healthy. Whether it's nofat or no-carbs, you'·re depleting an entire
source of calories and by doing so your
body is forced to draw it's energy from
other sources, thereby doing less storing
and more searching.
The low carbohydrate diets of our
modern era are the biggest craze
on college campuses. As a way of
compensating for the freshman 15
students look to lose weight, but it's
not always healthy because of a
college student's schedule. Image

It's likely you've noticed people
changing their eating habits eating bun-less
burgers or passing on the pasta, but still
piling the dressing on their salad or the
cheese on their tuna melt. To understand
this phenomena you'll need to grasp the
basic principles behind each the Atkins and
South Beach Diets, as well as the key
concepts behind the words we recognize on
a nutrition facts label, yet don't really
comprehend.
While the diets do retain positive
points such as lowering your intake of
processed/refined carbs, ensuring that you
meet your daily requirements of proteins
and fats, and reducing the portion sizes
while increasing the amount of times you
eat daily, it's wise to be aware that these
are simply another set of weight loss fads
in a long line to come. Your best bet is to
inform yourself on what you're putting
into your body and what it's going to give
you in return. Learning to read the
Nutrition Facts on products is a great start,
but even more essential is a basic comprehension of 4 key terms: calorie, fat,
protein, and carbohydrate.
The problems I've found with .these
diets, particularly among college dIeters,
is that many students simply obtain the
basic premises, cut down their carbs,

Rules for April Fools
EMMANUEL COLLEGE TIMES
A Student Publication of Emmanuel College
By Emily Arbeene
Volume 2 - Issue 3
The Emmanuel College Times is organized and produced by:
ADVISOR: Kristle Gagne
SECRETARY: Kelly Dunn
EDITOR IN CHIEF: Patrick Bemis
TREASURER: Kelly Jochim
VICE PRESIDENT: Rachel Lavallee
April Fools!! No one is immune from the trickery of April Fool's Day. This day
is celebrated on the frrst day of April as a chance to finally get revenge on that one
friend who tied your shoelaces together when you fell asleep on the floor last year.
Whether it's a gag gift, a prank phone call, or a good old practical joke, everyone gets
a laugh out of April Fool's ~ay. Well, almost everyone.
The history of April Fool's Day is a not the same in all regions of the world, but
it started out when several cultures around the world began to adopt the Gregorian
calendar around 1564. Prior to this time, April 1 was considered to be New Years day
and was closely celebrated with the vernal equinox. Once the Gregorian calendar was
accepted, January 1 became New Years'Day. Since word spread relatively slowly (up
to several years), it took a while for the calendar to be used worldwide. Great Britain
accepted it in 1752, and subsequently so did the American colonies.
France was one nation that refused to use the new calendar, so they continued to
consider April 1 as the start of the new year. Other people thought this was ridiculous,
and sometimes sent the French on "fool's errands" to get to them to believe something when it wasn't true. And so the history of practical jokes on April 1 began.
Different nations have different ways of celebrating April Fool's Day. In Scotland, it is a 2 day celebration with the 2nd day focusing on the posterior region of the
body (this is the origin of "kick me" signs) and is known as Taily Day.
In Mexico, the equivalent of April Fool's Day is commemorated on December 28
and is actually a somber day of remembrance for children killed by Kind Herod. This
transformed into a more lighthearted day of jokes and pranks.
Portugal celebrates it on the Sunday and Monday before Lent, where the tradition
is to throw flour at your friends.
No matter where you live, odds are that April Fool's Day is known for its jokes,
gags, and deceptions. Here are a few ideas of what you can do to make this April
Fool's Day a memorable one:
-Set your roommate's alarm clock back an hour. Or two.
-Saran wrap a toilet bowl. This is best done when its somewhat dark or dimmer
light, so its not very noticeable. Wrap the plastic tightly over the top of the open bowl.
Whoever uses the toilet next will be very surprised at what happens. Just make sure
there is someone willing to clean.
-Put a rubber band around the spray nozzle in the kitchen sink. Aim the nozzle
where the person using the sink will be standing. When they tum on the water, you
know what they say about April showers ...
-Purchase stick-on "bullet holes" and stick them on a car, windows, mirrors, etc.
And for the friend with the super nice car, there are stick-on "scratches" that are very
realistic looking. Walk by casually and stick on the sticker or do it ahead of time. Wait
until your friend notices, and play along until you can't hold it in any longer.
-A classic practicaLj
- the shaving Gn~am and feather. While one of your
friends is sleeping (suggested only if they're a heavy sleeper and don't wake easily),
put shaving cream on their hand, then tickle their face, head, or neck with a feather
and see what happens.
- Gag gifts also work very well, such as fake scratch tickets, whoopee cushions,
shock pens, squirt cameras, fake vomit, fake bugs, etc. Setting up a fake spill (novelty
stores usually sell fake nail polish, paint, white-out, or coffee spills) on a nice carpet
or a favorite shirt does the trick too, no pun intended ...
No matter what you decide to do this April Fool's Day, just be responsible and try
not to hurt, offend, or go too far. The point is to have fun with it!

Osama's Bin-Hidden,
But Not For Long!
Join The Stepped-Up Efforts
to Find Osama bin Laden in
"Where's Osama?"
AUSTIN, TX-COLLEGIATE
PRESSWIRE-March 22, 2004
The government can't find Osama bin
Laden, but now you can with today's
release of "Where's Osama?". The eagerly
anticipated satirical pictorial book
simplifies the search for the most wanted
man in the world and the search will soon
be over! Finding Osama bin Laden has
proven even more difficult than correctly
pronouncing the word "strategery." With
this new book, the search will be easier
than ever before.
The book, the brain-child of Carolyn
Langer, a 17-year old High School student
and aspiring artist, now brings the search
to the masses in "Where's Osama", a
veritable cornucopia of illustrated
scenarios that asks the reader to lead the
hunt and un-cover him in his hiding
places. Each of the ten (10) scenarios are
original in design and feature a blend of
reality and comic interpretation of themes
we've all grown up with. Some of the
featured scenes include:

Carolyn Langer is just like most
other 17-year old High School juniors in
that she likes all the latest music and
movies and enjoys spending time with her
friends. She plays guitar and is a whiz on
the computer and is rapidly increasing her
graphic arts and design skills - a
growing passion that will likely become
her field of study in college. The opportunity to create "Where's Osama" was too
attractive to let slip by and by applying
her keen sense of humor and graphic
design skills to the challenge turned the
idea into her frrst"published work. She
seized on the opportunity to bring a
humorous spin to a real-life crisis facing
the world today and looks forward to the
time when all of the brave hunters can be
re-united with their families.

We all have our moments-the ones
where we say something that makes no
sense, or we do something so stupid that
everyone will be telling "Remember that
time ... " stories about you 15 years from
now. '
You may think it is hard to get
through those embarrassing times when
you think, "How could I be so stupid?"
You're not alone.
Criminals can be some of the most
cunning and sneaky people, but as for
these criminals-they're a few eggs short
of a full dozen.
One man in Providence, R.I., had his
target set on an armored truck. After
knocking out the driver of the armored
truck, the man proceeded to steal the
closest four bags of money. Turns out
each bag weighing 30 pounds each
contained a total of $800 in pennies.
Needless to say he did not get very far
running down the street carrying 120
pounds. The police shortly dragged him
down when he began to stagger because

The west coast has their stories too. A
man in Seattle tried to siphon gasoline
from a motorhome parked on the side of
the street. Police arrived at the scene only
to discover that the man curled up on the
side of the street plugged his hose into the
motor home's sewage tank. Let's just say
he got what was coming to him.
Next story teaches a valuable lessonknow when to keep your mouth shut.
Officers in Detroit, MI were showing
their squad car to some children in a
neighborhood. When a 21 year-old man
walked up to the patrol car and asked how
the computer worked. The officers
proceeded to take the man's I.D. to use as
an example. The police put it through the
computer only to find the man was
wanted for a two year-old armed robbery
in Missouri.
Now we have covered East Coast,
West Coast, and Mid-West, but let's not

City, FL a lady was arrested for robbing a
motel with an electric chain saw... that
wasn't plugged in.
So, next time you feel a little embarrassed, just think did you really get caught
doing something stupid?

The moment we have all been waiting so
patiently for is finally here. That's right,
spring has arrived. Soon we can say
goodbye to winter and everything that
goes along with it in favor of sun and
warmer, longer days. The only downside
to this is that we college students are still
stuck in our classrooms and dorms
working away the days. That unbearable
itch of spring fever is sure to come about
soon, making us all eager to get out and
away from the drudgery of our everyday
lives.
What kind of outdoor activities does
Boston have to offer? There are many. The
concrete jungle can be traded for peaceful
outdoors in just a short T ride orcar ride.
An added bonus is that many of these
activities are free or low cost. All of these
are perfect places to go for a day trip with
your friends. Even on a limited budget,
having some good old springtime fun is
possible. Sometimes that's all we need to
get us through the rest of the semester.
And if none of these attractions catch your
eye, or if you really don't like to "travel",
you can always sit out on the Emmanuel

Flexibility with
Flex Dollars?
By Julie Benevides
The chicken fmger sandwich is the
main source of nutrition, energy, and
brain food for many Emmanuel College
students. This delectable, fried treat can
be bought exclusively at the Emmanuel
College Plaza cafe, if you have enough
flex dollars.
Each semester, students are given
$98 flex dollars on the regular meal plan.
If food is bought outside of "meal time,"
or your meal is over $6, it is deducted
from your flex dollar account. The entire
semester, students have been tapping into
their flex funds without getting any input
from Plaza staff. Now they are paying for
it.
With six weeks remaining in the
semester, the Plaza is beginning to
implement rules. Some students report
not having anymore flex dollars and
never even knowing it.
"It boggles my mind how the
unorganized Plaza, who has not kept
track of meals all semester, can be so
accurate in counting my flex dollars,"
says Junior Darcy MacLaren .

Due to inefficient computers, ID
cards were unable to be swiped to
calculate flex dollar sums. Plaza employees manually wrote down ID numbers. In
the boggled mess of papers and scribbling,
Bon Appetit has miraculously come to
"correct" calculations of Emmanuel
students' flex funds.
There is one problem with the
average Emmanuel student's flex accountthey have no more dollars or they are in
the hole.
One student blatantly blurts, "At
Marian hall, for $7 I can eat until I throw
up .. At the Plaza, a fruit cup and an
Aquafina apparently equal a dinner." The
plea seems to be similar to that of Oliver
Twist's, "Please, sir we want some more .."
"Bon Appetit needs to organize
themselves. Their problems are just a
matter of disorganization," says Catherine,
a frequent guest of the Plaza.
The individual, working employees
are not at fault. The Plaza Cafe needs to
flex its muscles and organize our flex
dollars.

Assessing Colutnbine and School Violence
By Megan Harrington
The answer lies everywhere and
nowhere. Dr. Bruce Perry, head of the
Child Trauma Academy, blames gun
accessibility, violent television, and the
pressures of modem life. Harold Vaughan
of Christ Life Ministries blames the
break-up of the traditional family and lack
of religion in schools. Activists from both
the left and right point to the bad examples of violent political leaders, while
everyone points to Marilyn Manson. To
get the real deal, I spoke with students and
alums from Austin Preparatory School in

So why were they killing each other?
Five years ago, two high school
students opened fire on their classmates
and teachers, killing 13 before shooting
themselves. The subsequent outcry over
what some have termed the "Columbine
Massacre" has included a variety of
voices, some more credible than others.
With so much controversy surrounding the
deaths, one must look carefully to see that
the truth about the killings is not as simple
as it seems.
I
Shooting and Bowling
Love him or hate him, no one's had
more to say about school violence than
documentary fllmmaker Michael Moore.
His Bowling for Columbine won an Oscar
and put Moore on the map as an outspoken and controversial activist. The film
points to a variety of culprits, such as
poverty, war, lax gun control, and cultural
acceptability of violence. Moore says his
inspiration for the film was his upbringing
in Flint, Michigan, an area linked to a
number of violent national occurrences.
He emphasizes the need for compassion in
response to such tragedies, suggesting that
rage and social desperation drove students
in Columbine to their horrendous end.
Back at Austin, reception of Moore's ideas
is warm. Beth says that Moore is "cool"
because he represents people in an honest
way. Russ agrees that issues mentioned in
the movie, such as "the 'populars' of a
school bullying the little guys way too
far" and "a ba,d home environment," are
contributors to violence.
Note for the Future
So what have we learned in five years
since the fifteen tragic deaths? Not much.
Prevalence of Rape Higher in Heavy
Drinking College Environments
BOSTON--(COLLEGIATE
PRESSWIRE)--Feb 12, 2004
I
Rape is more common on college
campuses with higher rates of binge
drinking - and alcohol use is a central
factor in most collegerapes, finds a study.
Overall, one in 20 (4.7 percent)
women reported being raped in college
since the beginning of the school year-a
period of approximately 7 months-and
nearly three-quarters of those rapes (72
percent) happened when the victims were
so intoxicated they were unable to consent
or refuse. These were among the findings
of a study of 119 schools nationwide, by
researchers at the Harvard School of
Public Health College Alcohol Study,
Saint. Joseph's University and the University of Arizona, published in the January
2004 issue of the Journal of Studies on
Alcohol.
Most significantly, women from
. colleges with medium and high bingedrinking rates had more than a 1.5-fold
increased chance of being raped while
intoxicated than those from schools with
low binge- drinking rates. Other significant risk factors for rape were being under

tion need to change the culture of college
drinking in order to make colleges safer
and healthier environments."
The study analyzed data from 119
schools participating in three Harvard
School of Public Health College Alcohol
Study surveys. The sample of randomly
selected students includes 8,567 women in
the 1997 survey, 8,425 in the 1999 survey
and 6,988 in the 2001 survey.
"College prevention programs must
give increased attention to educating male
students that one of the first questions
they must ask themselves before initiating
sex with a woman is whether she is
capable of giving consent," write the
authors of the study. "College men must
be educated for their own protection that
intoxication is a stop sign for sex. College
women need to be warned not only about
the vulnerability created by heavy
drinking, but also about the extra dangers
imposed in situations where many other
people are drinking heavily."
In the study, a college's bingedrinking rate was calculated based on the
percentage of students classified as heavy
episodic drinkers on campus. Colleges
with high binge-drinking rates had more
than 50 percent of students reporting to be
heavy episodic drinkers and colleges with
medium binge-drinking rates had between
a 36 percent and 50 percent rate. Low
binge-drinking schools were those where
less than 35 percent of students reported
being binge drinkers.
-College student binge drinking, as
defined by College Alcohol Study
researchers, is the consumption of five or
more drinks in a row at least once in the
past two weeks for men, and four or more
drinks in a row for women.

The First Colleges of the
Fenway Chess TournaDlent
By Timothy Johnson (WIT)
Results are in from the COF chess
tournament held February 7 at Wentworth
Institute of Technology. The individual
winner is Michael Mahoney of Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health
Services and the team championship was
won by Wentworth Institute of Technology, Undefeated, he made innovative
moves all day as he progressed undefeated
through the rounds to the fIrst COF
individual championship.
The Chess Club at Wentworth gives its
members time to advance their thinking and
problem solving skills. They enjoy going to
the weekly meeting held in the cafeteria
in Beatty Hall at noon on Wednesdays. The
club brings a number of chess sets with them
so that many different people just having
lunch can enjoy the game. Conceptual
thinking is a very important skill to have
when the chess club members enter life after college and this is exactly what chess is
all about. The club members have all made
great improvements in rational thought and
have made many great friends. The club
will shortly begin a Victory Tour of the campuses of the Fenway to engage more students in this activity. If you are interested
in becoming involved with the Chess Club
please contact Erik Garcia at

Rating the Restaurant
Longwood Grille and Bar
Located toward the rear of the
Longwood Food Court
Priees: Moderate
Eternal Sunshine
Shines Bright
Food: 4.5
Overall Ratina: 4.25
Ratings are out of a possible five total points
By Rachel Lavallee
As I entered the Longwood Grille and Bar,
I noticed a very welcoming but somewhat
professional appeal. I guess that is to be
expected since the restaurant is connected to a
hosl'ital hotel. Despite the professionalism of
the restaurant and the somewhat non-professionalism of myself, I decided to sit down.
Although I was only a party of one, the
hostess seated me in a booth - always comfortable. The restaurant was slow, but to be"
expected for a Tuesday.
When the waitress came over to greet me, I
first ordered a Diet Coke. The waitress went to
get my soda. Meanwhile, I looked over the;
menu to decide what I was going to have for
dinner.
When the waitress returned, I was surprised to see that a few pieces of bread were
accompanying my soda. This was not just any
bread - it was foccacia, one of my personal
favorites. A delectable way to start my meal.
Although I knew I it would be a lot of food
that I would never be able to finish, I ordered
several different items~ keeping in mind that I
could always take home the leftovers to my
roommate. So, in attempt to sample several
different items, I ordered from the menu the
following: a cup of clam chowder, a "field
greens" salad, and an order of chicken
quesadillas.
While waiting for my cup of clam chowder
to arrive, I continued to look over the menu to
see what other items. there were. I noticed an
assortment of somewhat simple items - pizza,
hamburgers, and steak - yet, each of them had
a little unordinary twist or flare that gave the
restaurant's menu its uniqueness.
Soon enough, I was presented with rny cup
of chowder, accompanied by a package of
oyster crackerS -- always a nice addition to this
starter. The chowder was much to my liking.
Not too thick, not too soupy, filled with a
desirable amount of clams and potatoes, and
touched with a few seasonings.
Next came the "field greens" salad -- a cute
name for the simplest salad on the menu.
Healthy-looking lettuce garnished with the
basics - tomato, cucumber, and croutons. My
choice of dressing - balsamic vinaigrette.
Personally. I would have liked some carrots on
the salad - b8sic like the other toppings and
good for the eyes.
Finally. my ctiicken quesadillas arrived. A
plateful of stuffed tortilla shells, cut into
triangles. and drizzled over with a light cheesy
sauce - nice touch. Not only did the
quesadillas have cheese and chicken, but they
were also filled with bits of pepper and onion
for a little spice. I could have done without
these ingredients, because I am not a huge fan
of spicy foods, but for those of you who prefer
a little extra zest, this would be a good choice
for you. Too bad I couldn't eat it all since I had
already eaten so much other food.
I would have liked to taste test one of the
yummy-looking desserts, but my stomach was
just too full. You'll have to try this one out
when you visit this restaurant with some
friends. And for those of you 21 +, you may be
excited to know that there is a bar inside the
restaurant if you feel like indulging in a beer to
accompany your food.

Eternal
Sunshine of
the Spotless
"Mind
Rated:R
108 Min.
By leffTurbitt
It's rather unfortunate. People are
going to walk away from this movie
saying, "Wait, I don't get it" or ''That
sucked, Jim Carrey didn't make me
laugh once." And, I know that there's
nothing that this measly reviewer can
do about it. Regardless, for my
faithful readers of Emmanuel College
I can make this one plea: Go watch
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless
Mind.
The movie starts off with Jim
Carrey's character, Joel Barish,
waking up in a small messy apartment
going through his morning routine for
work. He steps outside on a gray day
noticing a few strange things that he
just can't remember happening. Upon
waiting for his train, Joel hears a last
call for the destination of Montauk on
another set of tracks. He quickly runs
over and hops aboard thinking that his
action was rather impulsive, a
characteristic he certainly doesn' t
embody. He starts to write in a journal
that strangely is missing a number of
pages, eats at a diner, and boards a
train back home. All the while, Joel
intermittently bumps into a blue
haired and brightly dressed woman
named Clementine Kruczynski (Kate
Winslet). They start to talk on the
train and make a sort of 'opposites
attract' union. Carrey's character is
clearly a boring, ititroverted, average
Joe with a pitiful love life and
Winslet's is an adventurous, outgoing,
flamboyant woman with a love for
liquor. Without giving too much away,
the rest I can tell you is that the
remainder of the movie is in 10el
Barish's subconscious as he tries to
hold onto his memories while others
attempt to erase them. I know that this
is a rather vague plot but if I were to
explain any more, a lot of the fun
would be taken out. The movie is
definitely not just fun .
If one looks at Eternal Sunshine
as if it is an art piece, a well-crafted
film - one can see that it is brilliantly
written, beautifully shot, giftedly
edited, masterfully acted and its got
some very fitting music to boot.
Basically, it encompasses everything
you see in life, which is at times
beautiful, at times scary, at times
comforting, and at times very
strange. We can definitely thank Mr.
Charlie Kaufman whose work
includes Adaptation, Being John
Malkovich, and Confessions of a
Dangerous Mind. His slightly twisted
mind brought the quite unique
concept of mind erasing to the film.
He also"masterfully blended the
concept in with a romance between
characters Joel Barish and
Clementine Kruczynski. Their
dialogue was so true to life and
loving that Jim Carrey and Kate
Winslet had little to do to create an
authentic loving relationship. But,
they did more than a little.
Jim Carrey puts forth yet another
astonishing dramatic performance
that everyone seems to underestimate. After being snubbed of
credibility particularly in the Truman
Show, but also in The Majestic and
Man on the Moon, I really think that
this movie has the potential to change
some people's view as Jim Carrey the
funny man to Jim Carrey, the man
who can do it all. On the other side of
the romantic pair in Eternal Sunshine, Kate Winslet does what she
does best. She creates a believable
and enticing character that is utterly
in love (Titanic). The two's on screen
connection seems so real and
wonderful, that you really want them
to be together before it ends.
The only aspect of the film that I
believe some may disagree with is its
fast pace, and choppy editing. From
scene to scene, things don't directly
connect. It's only through looking at
the film on a broader perspective ,
does one understand what is truly on
the screen at the moment. Some may
be left questioning if some parts were
dreams or alternate realities. So, the
film might require a second or third
viewing. But if one sees the film in a
broader light and sits back and enjoys
the high-speed ride, they'll enjoy and
admire the film on the whole

Parable of the
Sower, Good
Reading for
Young Adults
By Amanda Graffam
Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the
Sower is not a new release, but it is a book
worth the attention of young adults
searc~ng for a greater meaning to life.
The book examines a broken, devastated
United States, beginning in the year 2024.
Through the journal of Lauren Olamina,
readers are transported into the future and
forced to question the foundations of our
society: justice, freedom, and faith.
Butler portrays a world where even
gated communities are not safe. Poverty
has spread around the country, affecting
all but a small minority of citizens.
Slavery is not only legal, but a common
practice. And everyone carries a weapon
for protection, no one can be trusted.
But through this mayhem, a young
girl, wise beyond her years, sees something beautiful in the human race that
allows for hope. Through observation and
discovery of the world around her, she
develops her own religion, Earthseed, that
gives her peace in a world of chaos. She
records her findings in a book she's
entitled, Earthseed: The Books of the
Living. As Lauren begins to understand
this new religion, she reveals its 'essentials' to the reader and the characters
around her.
After a journey through despair,
hatred, and violence Butler still manages
to leave her audience with an optimistic
outlook of love, human compassion, and
hope.

Sower" may not be a new book but
