Better student diets urged by dietitian
By JEFF KIOU: Staff Reporter
Many KU students have poor diets because they skip meals, eat too much fast food or don't eat well-balanced foods. They register dietitian said yesterday.
Marsese Bates, the dietitian at Walkins and others, said that students had difficulty get the irregular class schedules and because they were not used to preparing or planning for a meal.
"College students don't often eat eat because they are used to having meals prepared for them at home," she said. "Even in the dorms, they have to make a selection and they don't often get a well-balanced meal or a diet suited to their needs.
"Many times they'll eat at a fast food place instead of preparing a meal at home. Fast food is usually high in carbohydrates and fat.
"Too much of this type of food can throw a diet off. The body needs certain nutritional elements found in a well-balanced diet."
"Many times they'll eat at a fast food place instead of preparing a meal at home. Fast food is usually high in carbohydrates and fat.
A well-balanced daily diet, according to Bates, includes food from four basic groups: milk, meat, fruit and vegetable and bread and cereal.
BATES SAID students would usually substitute a candy bar, soft drink or coffee for a meal. She said she has been teaching at the University of cheese and crackers with them to school.
"For instance, if there's not enough carbohydrate in the body," she said, "then proteins will be broken down and substituted for the carbohydrate. The protein will not be used for its purpose, which includes the formation of an
Bates said that irregular diets also could cause weight gain.
Bates said she has gotten many calls from student demographics about the diet that they should follow. Most of the students ask about the low carbohydrate-high protein diet and whether they should include yogurt in their diet.
BATES SAID she had cautioned students to examine a "fad diet" before such questions as: Does the claim maseptic scientific facts? Does the plan limit the types of food which may be eaten or one food or nutrient group is
"For instance," she said, "eliminating the bread and cereal group from a daily diet will cause the student not to obtain the core nutrients Rut spruce.
"Vitamin pills alone cannot make up for nutritional needs, such as carbohydrates. Taking a vitamin pill may be a false sense of security."

Sports cuts reluctantly accepted
By STEVE YOUNG
Staff Reporter
The KU coaches and administrators forced to裁 ax $84,000 from this year's athletes budget said yesterday that they did not realize that they realized they were unavailabl
Bob Macrumb, KU athletic director, said early this week that the athletic department cut $83,000 from nine areas, effective last fall to reduce a budget deficit for this fiscal year.
Don Baker, sports information director,
said that although it would be difficult for his office to stay within the new budget, he agreed with the way the cuts had been
"The most important thing is that we don't cut back on the student, athlete and his team. You can't go to be a real test for me to end up in the black. I'm just trimming everywhere. I'm looking for purchases that can be put off because it will take more money than not put a burden on next year's budget."
"It's put a hardship on us," said Baker, whose sports information office budget was cut by $14,800—the largest single cut.
BUT BAKER said it was better that cuts be made in administrative budgets than in individual sports budgets.
Baker said that in addition to delaying expenses, the budget cuts led to reductions in printing and part-time salaries.
Bob Timmons, men's track coach, said he appreciated the department the department was in, even though he didn't like having his budget cut.
"I if I were the athletic director, I have done it the same way Bob (Marcum) did. I have pleased to have to make a budget cut, but I can't be resentful about a department tryout."
"It's just one of those things. We really can't do too much about it."
TIMMONS, WHOSE budget was cut about $7,000, said some team travel might be affected.
"We probably won't be able to take as many people as we would have to some events," he said. "Exactly how many and where we don't know."
Bill Spahn, men's swimming coach, said he also understood the department's dilemma.
"It's very easy for anyone to see the situation we're in," he said. "You just have to stay calm and not jump in and now that in the future our revenge-producing sports will do a lot better. I think
Spain, whose program lost an undisclosed amount of recruiting and unused scholarship money, said he thought innovation could make up for the lost funds.
"It makes you work a little harder and do things a little differently. Sure it hurts, but
everyone is just going to have to be a little more innovative," he said.
The answer to budget problems in the athletic department rests with the areas unaffected by the recent cuts - football and basketball, which both are revenue-reinvesting sports.
Men's athletics at the University are tundred largely from the gate revenues of football and basketball games. And men's golf is difficult to make revenue projections.
intercollegiate athletics as it is for the history department. There are too many variables involved," he said.
It's not as easy to project expenditures for
Baker said that with most University departments—including women's athletics, which are funded by the state—could make exact revenue projections.
Although Marcum has refused to specify exactly where cuts have been made, departments and programs that lost money have received them. The Kansas Relays, tennis and maintenance.
New information booth planned
Visitors to the University of Kansas will have access to a campus because of an information booth to be constructed this spring, according to Allen Wiechert, University director of the school.
Todd Seymour, president of the KU Endowment Association, said yesterday that the Association had awarded the Kansas University $41,400 for the booth.
Weichert said the building would be a
It will be constructed on the southeast corner of 15th and Iowa streets, behind Templin Hall. Seymour said.
"small, shelter-type structure, open on four sides, with a roof."
The booth will house a public telephone, Wiechert said, and an additional telephone connected to the University's information service.
Wiechert said, "It would be desirable to have information booths at the four major entrances to the campus. This is a trial run for new visitors, visitors, we might construct more later."
The booth will have a campus directory, campus maps and University information pamphlets and a large map of the campus with a lighted display case, Wiescant said.
