Women get a lift
from weight training
By DIANA GOLDSTON
Daily Reporter
"1 am strong, I am invincible, 1 am
woman." These words from Helen Red-
dy’s song could refer to women enrolled
in weight training.
"1 think women are getting more in-
volved in weightlifting because they are
finding out it’s not just for guys and it
can benefit them physically,” Terry
Dudley, Ranger graduate student, said
recently.
Miss Dudley, a graduate assistant in
physical education, teaches a weight
training class for women.
Last fall was the first semester a
course in weight training for women was
offered. Before the course was created,
weight training for women had been in-
corporated in conditioning courses. Dr.
Irma Caton, chairwoman of the physical
education division, said.
Courses last fall were made
coeducational to comply with Title IX,
Dr. Caton said. Idle IX is pari 01 ihe
educational amendment of 1972 which
forbids discrimination on the basis of
sex in educational programs or activities
which receive federal funds.
Beginning weightlifters should start
lifting 70 percent of the heaviest weight
they can lift one time, Miss Dudley said.
The muscles should be extended and
stretched before and after working with
weights to make the muscles more flexi-
ble. Stretching is a safety precaution to
keep from injuring one of the muscles,
she said.
Keeping the body in a correct position
for each exercise helps isolate the proper
muscles for the exercise, Miss Dudley
said. Isolating the muscles ensures the
muscles will benefit and extra muscles
will not be used.
Full range of motion, or going from
fully flexed to fully extended, will make
the muscles more flexible instead of less
flexible and the person will not become
muscle bound, she said.
Correct breathing is important
because “if the person tries to hold her
breath while lifting weights, pressure will
be put in the chest area and the blood
flowing back to the heart will be
restricted. The blood won’t get back to
the heart and the heart won't pump it
out and this could cause a person to
blackout. Miss Dudley said.
Exhaling will relieve the pressure in
the chest. A person must breathe
regularly while lifting weights, she said.
Weight training has few injuries com-
pared with other sports, Miss Dudley
said. The injuries that do occur are
usually during the first few repetitions,
that is, the first few' times a weight is
lifted.
"If a person is training for enduance
or so she won’t become as tired as quick-
ly, she will use lighter weights and do
more repetitions at a more rapid rate,’’
Miss Dudley said.
For strength, the w'omen use heavier
weights. The weakest parts of a woman's
body are the arms and abdomen, she
said.
‘‘Women who gain abdominal
strength will find that they have fewer
cramps and they will have an easier time
with childbearing," Dr. Caton said.
“A woman may not get big muscles

like a man because a man has the hor-
mone testosterone, from which he gets
his big muscles," Miss Dudley said.
Women have some testosterone but not
as much as men. Women have a sub-
cutaneous las er of fat over their muscles,
which gives them curves and helps keep
them from getting large muscles.
Measurements of the subcutaneous
fat are taken at the beginning and the
end of the course. The contour of the
muscles sometimes changes, she said.
The measurement is called a skin-fold
measurement, and skin-fold calipers are
used to measure the width, in mil-
limeters, of a pinch of skin and the fat
underneath.
"Sometimes the fat is not really
measurable or noticeable because it is
within the body, rather than being sub-
cutaneous, or under the skin," Miss
Dudley said.
T he muscles will work as hard as they
have to, she said, so more weights must
be added in order for the muscles to get
stronger. This is the overload principle.
The muscles have to be worked to ex-
haustion, a condition which occurs when
the muscles cannot do anymore.

EDITORS NOTE: This is the first of a
three-part series about civil defense.
A shift in federal civil defense policy
has prompted state and local officials to
examine ways for Denton to accom-
modate 100,000 Dallasites in the event
of a nuclear threat or attack, John Max-
well, city-county director of civil
defense, said recently.
U.S. intelligence reports which
showed the Soviets had extensive reloca-
tion plans led federal civil defense of-
ficials to readopt an evacuation policy,
Maxwell said. The concept was
developed after World War II, he said,
but was overshadowed by interest in fall-
out shelters during the late 1950s and
early 1960s.
The theory of crisis relocation is based
on the assumption that ihcic is a low
probability of attack without warning.
During a period of crucial international
relations, the president could issue an
order to begin the evacuation of people
from high-risk areas to safer host areas
over a three-day period, Jerry Daniel of
the state office of disaster emergency
and services said.
No order would be given until intel-
ligence sources reported the Soviets had
begun to evacuate from the cities,
Laurence Ayres of the state office said.
Daniel, who met with local mayors,
police chiefs and fire chiefs last week to
explain crisis relocation, said he will sub-
mit a relocation plan to County Judge
Jerry John Crawford and mayors in two
or three months for consideration.
In an evacutaion. people in risk areas
would be given car windshield stickers to
aid police in directing taffic, he said.
Maxwell said he does not believe
freeways would become clogged, based
on a Department of Public Safety report
of a south Texas hurricane evacuation,
which showed traffic was heavy but
moved well.
BUSES WOULD BE used to tran-
sport some people because parking
would be a problem for the estimated
33,000 cars that would otherwise, be in-
volved, Daniei said.
Prior to the attack, each person would
be assigned a shelter, a place to eat and
work duties, such as shoveling dirt to
fortify shelters. Certain police, fire,
medical and administrative personnel
would work in the risk area by day and
would return to their shelters at night, he
said.
A nuclear detonation in Dallas or
Fort Worth, which are considered risk
areas, would not cause blast damage in
Denton, but radioactive fallout would
arrive in lethal amounts from 60 to 90
minutes after the attack, Maxwell said.

At that point, people would have to
remain in the shelter continuously for at
least two weeks, Daniel said.
Denton has safe or upgradable shelter
for 194,000 people, which would be suf-
ficient for Denton County residents and
the proposed 100,000 evacuees, he said.
Maxwell said critical areas such as
restaurants, water and electrical plants,
police headquarters and civil defense
headquarters would be excluded from
use by the public in order to operate.
A living space could be as much as 40
square feet or as little as 10 square feet,
he said.
The degree of protection a shelter may
supply depends on the density of the
shelter’s wall material and the distance
of occupants from the radioactive fall-
out, Ron Morrison of the Army Corps
of Engineers said. The geometric con-
figuration of the surrounding land and
structures would affect the distance fac-
tor, he said, because another building
could serve as a settling place for fallout.
Based on these criteria, a shelter need
not be underground to be protective,
Maxwell said.
An estimated 44,000 cubic yards of
dirt would be needed to upgrade area
shelters, Daniel said. Obtaining earth-
moving equipment would not be a
problem, he said, because commercial-
and government-owned equipment
would not be in use during a crisis.
During the early 1960s, the govern-
ment urged architects and engineers to
include fallout shelter capability in their
plans, Joe Paul Jones of Freese and
Nichols, Inc., a Fort Worth engineering
firm, said. Today the practice is no
longer emphasized, he said.
COMMUNITY FALLOUT shelter
plans in which people are protected at
designated shelters in their communities
are the government’s alternative to crisis
relocation in the case of a sudden attack.
Brochures outlining Denton’s 1967
community fallout shelter program
"were outdated as soon as they were
published, because Denton is growing at
such a rapid rate that they would have to
be updated every year," Ayers said.
Buildings at NT and TWU serve as
the shelter sites for two of the three
zones marked on the map in the 1969
brochure. The brochure directs county
residents living outside the Denton city
limits to take shelter at one of campuses.
Residents of the southern part of the
county would come to NT and those in
the northern part would come to TWU.
Two years ago, the federal govern-
ment ordered the food and medical sup-
plies that had been stored in fallout
shelters since 1962 be disposed because
they were unfit for human consumption.
Survival crackers have a shelf life of
about five years. Ayers said.
Denton’s survival cracker supply was
sold to a worm farmer in Flower
Mound, Maxwell said, adding that the
rock candy was the only item left that
was still edible.
Congress struck funding for shelter
stocking from the federal civil defense
budget four years ago, leaving the mat-
ter to local governments, Ayres said.
For this reason, people in risk and
host areas would be advised to bring
medical supplies and non-perishable
food to the shelter, Daniel said Before
the attack, evacuees would be served in
commercial restaurants and food dis-
tributors would be asked to divert
deliveries from urban areas to host
areas, he said.
Denton’s water supply, the Garza-
Little Flm reservoir in Lewisville, could
become contaminated to a certain extent
for a few days, Jones said, adding that
well water could be used during that
time.
Studies of water, power, sanitation
and medical needs will be made to deter-
mine if local facilities could handle the
sudden increase in population, Maxwell
said.
