The Christian military commander said his forces would not give up their guns. Lebanon’s three-day-old cabinet met, and sources said Premier Salim el-Hoss was drafting emergency powers that would let him impose order on the war-torn country as soon as possible. Rival party leads in Portugal LISBON, Portugal — The Social Democrats, a centrist op position party, took an early lead Sunday as first returns were counted from local elections that could weaken the shaky Socialist government. Officials said the Social Democrat lead was based on returns from northern Portugal, where the party was expected to run strong. Scattered bomb explosions occurred but most areas were peaceful, police said. U.S. wants N-wastes back WASHINGTON—The Ford administration is withholding an overdue shipment of uranium until India agrees to return its entire stockpile of spent nuclear fuel. American and Indian experts, who disclosed this, estimate 200 metric tons of the spent fuel has piled up in India since 1971 because the United States, lacking adequate storage facilities, has failed to buy it back. The U.S. government is still searching possible waste-burial sites. V, Interested in working at the Drug Information Center?

Call 686-5411 and ask for Mark Miller Weight: Digesting studies for finals week adds pounds to those who munch By LISA JOSLEN Of the Emerald Finals week weighs heavily on the minds of most students but for some, along with the weight of exams, last minute papers and projects, three to ten pounds of fat suddenly appear. The reason? For almost a solid week, students have 24 hours a day to munch, eat meals and munch again with only a lot of mental activity to work it off. Besides, eating is an excuse for a study break. Worried and nerv ous, students reach for anything ready to eat: five Big Macs, a dozen Dunkin' donuts, popcorn, an occasional six-pack, ice cream and 12 more donuts. Incessantly pouring down cof fee doesn't help matters either. It just makes the hand grab faster. What can be done about this fattening, phenomenal five-day nightmare? Perhaps students could collectively buy stock in Wrigleys, or maybe the University could offer an intensive physical education course during finals week. The class could be held at midnight and everyone could work off their nervous energy, by clean ing the campus or jogging Better yet, maybe the EMU would stay open 24 hours a day, only selling already-cleaned celery, carrots, lettuce, cottage cheese and yogurt. Really though, finals week weight gain isn't a joke. For some it is a real problem. "Dieters' often look for any excuse to binge and finals week is usually an accre dited excuse. One woman, Bev, gained al (Continued from Page 3) spend much time outdoors in the cold "Just because winter is here doesn't mean that wilderness must disappear."

She attributes most of that to beer and overeat ing during finals. Since she graduated, she has lost 75 pounds and is a weight-control group lecturer. There are many ways to keep from gaining weight dunng these final hours. But the first step, and one of the most essential, is to be aware of the problem and decide ahead of time not to gain. So, because it's easy to say. "Who cares?" and "I've got more important things on my mind," this is just a reminder to students who want to ease through finals with as light a load as possible University discontinues tree disposal The University will be unable to continue its Christmas tree dis posal service for area residents this year, according to Harold Babcock, director of the Physical Plant. "It's too expensive for us to con tinue, Babcock said "Many of the trees last year were left with nails and stands that wrecked our dis posal equipment “ Last year, the University offered to help area residents dispose of Christmas trees after the holidays by accepting trees and grinding them as fuel Members of the 20-30 Active Club and the Eugene Chapter of Cystic Fibrosis, however, are planning a similar service this year Trees will be collected Thursday, Dec 30, Saturday. Jan 1 and Sunday, Jan 2 A minimum donation of $1 is requested, with proceeds going to the cystic fib rosis child welfare programs in Eugene Anyone that needs a tree picked up or more information may call 680-7282 or 342-3143 Wilderness "This course will be more aesthetic rather than philosophi cal or political," said Barry Hood, one of the class instructors The main project will be crea tion of a video tape, implementing the skills and artistic inclinations of students in photography, music, writing, production and recording The tape s theme or focus, to be geared toward appreciation of the "experience" and conservation of specific sites and species, has not yet been outlined "We will wait for class mem bers to decide the workings of the tape,” Hood said.
