Keeping fit
A desire to lose weight drives many people to experiment with diets. some of which don't fulfill basic nutritional needs.
Others, like Vicki Avery, Lawrence, shown here working out at the Ramada Inn Ssa, use more traditional methods.
Popular fad diets abound in attempts to lose weight
By JAIN PENNER Kansan Staff Reporter
In America where skin and bones are glorified and at is seldom considered beautiful, some people will try almost anything to lose weight.
The options are many and range from the familiar standby of cottage cheese and peaches to such drastic measures as that used by a woman last fall, who had her mouth wired shut until she had lost the desired amount of weight.
Fad dieting isn't successful, however, according to Marie Cross, associate professor of human development. Although some fad diets are worse than others, all generally fail to help develop new eating habits or to provide the essential nutrients, she said.
"No diet of less than 1000 calories a day can supply the essential nutrients," Cross said.
Cross said a good diet should include foods from each of the four basic groups—breads and cereals, dairy products, fruits and vegetables and meat, poultry and fish. Foods that supply only calories and no nutrients should be avoided.
She said the average young man who was trying to lose weight should have an intake of 1200-1500 calories a day and young women should have 1000-1200. She stressed that careful planning was necessary for a diet of only 1000 calories.
Cross thought that the extreme-wiring jaws together—was ridiculous because, although weight was lost, new eating habits weren't being learned in the process.
Meat isn't essential, Cross said, but if it
isn't included, knowledgeable planning is needed to substitute vegetable protein.
Cross thought raising costs had affected people's eating habits and she hoped the changes would be for the better. She said that perhaps people would be more cautious when buying food and would choose only those items with the most food value.
Several popular diets lack balance, although they do take off weight quickly if you make the same changes.
One rather unexciting diet consists of cottage cheese, two canned peaches, a piece of melba toast and black coffee three times a day.
A controversial diet proposed by Dr. Irwin M. Stillman, a physician who has published many diets, consists of all the protein and fat a person wants, but only 39 grams of carbohydrate a day. The diet appealed to many who discovered that a bodybuilder could gain grams of carbohydrate but many experts said the diet could be harmful to health.
Countless other diets featuring an excess of one food, such as the grapefruit diet, the ice cream diet, even the egg and avocado diet, are easy to take off and takes as quickly as possible.
An alternative to fad dieting is a weight control organization like Weight Watchers. Diane Luehring, Leavenworth junior, worked during the summer as a counselor at Weight Watchers Camp Cameo in Los Angeles.
According to Luehring, the Weight Watchers' philosophy is to lose weight by learning new eating habits rather than by following a strict nutritional support through group participation.
"One of the keys of Weight Watchers is
Weight Watchers' diets are intended to be nutritionally sound so that they can be maintained.
that you're not alone," Luehring said.
Although Weight Watchers doesn't count calories, a daily diet that includes three fruits, three sources of protein, two slices of bread, one starchy vegetable such as peas or carrots and two cups of green vegetables is recommended to members.
Weight Watchers' camps combine balanced meals with a rigid athletic program, and some participants lose up to 35 pounds in seven weeks, Luehring said.
"Although meals are prepared for you, you have to make a chart listing what you ate so that you can follow the diet after the camp is over." she said.
Weight Watchers also discourages members from weighing themselves excessively, Lueneh said, because slow weight loss can cause散鬃ment.
Some people also turn to health clubs to supplement dieting with proper exercise.
Although the Ramada Inn Figure Salon isn't allowed to put people on diets, members are encouraged to go to a doctor and get a good diet rather than try fried diets, according to Marie Wilson, a Figure Salon emplowe.
"We find that fad dieting usually doesn't work," said Wilson.
Wilson said that in some cases it was possible to lose weight by exercise alone if calorie intake wasn't increased. Generally, women in inches rather than pounds, she said.
Governor reinstates deleted budget pleas
By RICHARD PAXSON Kansan Staff Reporter
TOPEKA-A 10 per cent increase in faculty salaries and a 15 per cent increase in general operating expenses at the University of Kansas have been restored to the proposed state budget for fiscal year 1976 by Gov. Robert Bennett.
The increases were requested by the state Board of Regents but had been deleted from the proposed state budget by State Budget Director James Bibb. Bibb is required by law to suggest reductions in the budget requests of state agencies.
In the message that Bennett was scheduled to deliver to a joint session of the legislature at 11:30 this morning, he was to ask the legislature to allocate $2,443,719 in general use funds for faculty merit salary increases averaging 10 per cent at KU.
Bennett will also recommend a $850,746 increase in the allocation for KU operating expenses, an increase of 15 per cent more than the fiscal year 1975 appropriations.
"We are greatly pleased that he (Bennett) has seen fit to recommend the 10 per cent increase in general operating funds," Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said Wednesday night. "These were two of our major donors." He added evidence of his interest in higher education.
"I haven't seen a detailed budget summary, so I can't say whether we received all of our requests, but we are pleased with the recommendations as a whole."
Similar increases in faculty salaries and operating expenses were recommended for the department.
Bernett said his recommendations on education were "the most substantial fiscal impact in the country."
"Education is and has been the number one priority of this administration," he said. "We've tried to address ourselves to education problems. For far too long, we have allowed training to survive and subsist without adequate funding.
"This budget is a realistic and conservative approach to future needs. It lays a base, but it's far from a total answer. It's a commencement."
The budget provides **78,453,163** for all operations of the University. The Board of Regents had requested **79,247,102**. The KU budget this year is **89,676,959**.
The governor's proposed budget includes the creation of 66 additional faculty positions and 22 additional classified positions at the University. The new positions will be created as a result of the university's growth in student numbers, an increase of 990 more than the enrollment on which the fiscal year 1975 budget was based.
The budget report contains recommendations for several capital improvement projects on the KU campus. Funding of the new visual arts building is to be completed with a recommended appropriation of $1,603,200 for construction in the campus. The total cost of $8,750,700 total cost of the facility was provided by previous legislatures.
Bennett also recommended the appropriation of $1,785,968 for completion of the new law school building in fiscal year 1977. Total cost of the project is $4,945,114.
An appropriation of $370,000 for the final planning of a new computer services
Recommendations for building maintenance were $170,000 for recoiling of Allen Field House, $150,000 for repairs to the heating and air conditioning system of the home, $80,000 to replace the heating and air conditioning system of the chancellor's residence.
Gov. Bennett's proposed budget provides $64,748 for upgrading the computer system, including $48,008 to replace the current computer.
building is recommended in the proposed budget. Pre-county planning funds for the building will be provided to the landowner.
Preliminary planning funds of $65,000 were recommended for an addition to Robinson Gymnasium. The expansion has a $6.7 million anticipated total cost.
The budget report recommends the creation of a minority advancement program in which persons filling two new college positions from minority students in area junior colleges
who want to attend the University for professional career training.
Other programs include the creation of a position to improve career counseling services, $150,000 for library acquisitions, $100,000 for maintenance and replacement of the teaching equipment and $30,002 for the women's intercollegiate athletics program.
The recommended budget includes $120,700 for the Kansas Geological Survey's Automated Resources Evaluations department and supplemented survey of the region's natural resources.
Adjustments in the University's fiscal year 1975 budget also are recommended. Because the fall 1974 enrollment was 922,000, the report recommends an enrollment on which this year's budget was based, the report recommends that the University be authorized to employ 23 students at a cost of $194,800 and to increase other operating expenses by $205,773.
Raise must be earned Governor Bennett says
Teaching loads of faculty members at the state colleges and universities must increase as faculty salaries increase, according to Gov. Robert F. Bennett.
The following numbers of Senate seats are open: graduate school; 20;
Liberal Arts and Sciences, 15; School of Education, nine; Oliver
College, six; Pearson College, six; School of Fine Arts, six; North
College, five;

"I am recommending that this program (of increasing faculty salaries) be continued for the second year of the three-year period," Bennett stated in the text of his budget message to the state legislature. But, he said, "This is being done with the understanding that attention is now being focused on staffing loads and thereby increasing the opportunity for the students to learn from some of the finest minds in our state."
School of Engineering, five; Centenial College, four; Numeraker College, four; School of Business, four; School of Journalism, three; School of Law, two; School of Pharmacy, two; School of Architecture and Urban Design, two; School of Social Welfare, two.
Bennett said Wednesday at a press briefing that this "understanding" about increasing faculty teaching loads was the focus of the educators of the state colleges and universities.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said Wed-
nesday he would increase the teaching load of professors
"I'm not informed of his plan, but there is some effort being made at internal meetings to make sure he said," "I don't think this will cut down the amount of research professors are allowed to do. Because, as I have often stated, quality teaching and quality research must be encouraged."
Bennett said he wanted to make it clear that there would be an ongoing review of the facility.
The filing deadline for Senate seats is Jan. 29. The student body and Senate elections will be Feb. 12-13.
The four two-member teams are: Ed Rolfs, a student senator and unsuccessful candidate for president last year, and his running mate Mary Lou Reece, a senator; Barbara O'Brien, two-term senator, and her running mate Steve McMurray, chairman of the Student Senate Transportation Committee; Paul Shero, Colorado Springs, Colo., junior and his running mate Gerald Long, Kansas City, Kan.; junior, Richard Green, Kansas City, Kan.; senior, Committee and his running mate Tedde Tashfeff, chairman of the Senate Communications Committee.
The three are: Kathy Horstman, Kansas City, M., Junior; Steve Churchu, Pleasant Hill, M., sophomore; and Mike Taraboules, Ph.D.
Bennett suggested that a study of faculty teaching loads might be conducted by his
Senate to consider sports funding change

In addition, three students from the School of Architecture and Urban Design filed for election to the Senate.
A bill that would give more student money to the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation (KUAC) but decrease the allocation to women's athletics was placed on the Student Senate agenda Wednesday night by Studex.
The Senate will consider the bill at its next meeting, which will be at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 30.
Four teams file for top positions
Four teams had filed for student body president and vice president by Wednesday, the deadline.
The bill, which was approved by the Finance and Auditing Committee, would increase the total student ticket subsidy for KUAC football and basketball games to $159.399 for 1976, compared with the present $83,393. In exchange for the increased
subsidy, according to Lewis Gregory, chairman of the Finance and Auditing Committee, Athletic Director Clyde Walker has promised a drop in student season ticket prices to $10 for football and $10 for basketball.
Season tickets currently cost $15 for football and $13 for basketball.
The bill would reduce the allocation of Senate funds to the women's athletics program from $63,860.60 in the current fiscal year to $44,277 next year.
Plaintiffs hold to charges
By DEBBIE GUMP Kansan Staff Reporter
A meeting with the University general counsel has neither failed to dissuade two students from filing a charge of discrimination nor caused them to reject the possibility of filing personal lawsuits against University officials.
"Nothing happened at the meeting (with Michael Davis, general council) which justified changing our position," Jerry said. "The President said Wednesday, 'Nothing's changed.'"
Williams and Muriel Paul, Lawrence graduate student, said they would file a complaint with the department of Health and Wellness at Wilhelm Medical Center to the removal of Edward P. Bassett as associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and Ralph Christotfersen as assistant vice chancellor.
The complaint will also ask for the cutoff of all federal funds to the University if Bassett and Christoffersen aren't removed, Williams said.
Tuesday's meeting with Davis was attended by Williams and Charles Scott, a Topeka lawyer. Scott said he attended the meeting as a concerned person and as a friend of Williams. He said he had been not guilty by Paul or Williams for legal counsel.
"The University is confident that it can withstand the investigation," Davis said at.
the meeting. "I am totally convinced there is no discrimination. The University is not discriminating."
Scott said the main issue involved in the complaint was whether an adequate nominees were served.
"I think the basic disagreement was that the pool was not large enough in regard to it," she said.
Davis said that in the original nomination pool of about 27 people there were four women, one black and one white, all named Rosemary labor took herself out of consideration, he said.
When Ambrose Sarice, vice chancellor for academic affairs, narrowed the field down to five candidates, one black, one white, four unarmed person were included. Davis said.
Scott said minority would have had fair treatment had administrators looked into it.
However, Davis said the Office of Academic Affairs had agreed with Shirley Gilham, then director of Affirmative Action, on an internal search.
Vicki Hamer became acting director of Vicki Action when Gilham resigned in 2014.
The position of associate vice chancellor for academic affairs was opened last summer when James Rosser left to become chancellor for higher education for New Jersey.
Rosser left on short notice, Davis said, and the agreement for an internal search was agreed upon in an effort to fill the position quickly.
"I'm sure Shirley Gilham and Saricks felt there was a qualified pool," Davis said.
Williams said the constitution of the nomination pool wasn't the issue and his complaint was primarily based on the fact that she wasn't represented by a candidate, the decision was made to split the position.
"The advertisement directly or indirectly affected who applied for the position," Williams said. "There is a great possibility of discrimination."
"During the process it occurred to him that a new beneficial to split the position be said."
"Nobody changed his position," Davis said.
Saricks then asked those who had previously declined the position whether they would be interested in a part time position. Davis said.
Davis said Saricks considered splitting the position after several people had indicated interest in the job but not on a full time basis.
Davis also said he knew of no one who had told the Office of Academic Affairs that he would have applied for the job he had been originally advertised as part time.
Some opposition to the reduction in the women's athletics allocation is expected at the Senate meeting. Marian Washington, assistant athletic director for women's athletics, is expected to request time to meet the Senate to oppose the allocation cut.
Gregory said that if the reduction was passed it would be unchangeable through the next fiscal year, because it would reduce the women's line item allocation.
Line item allocations are used to set amounts given to certain campus groups and organization units. The amount is set by the Senate in the fiscal year before it takes effect. The line item allocation is then unchanged until the Senate considers allocations for the semester.
Line item allocations are apportioned from the $12 student activity fee assessed at enrollment. The line item allocation for the women's athletic program is $1.25 for the women's athletic program.
Two new line item allocations, one for KU Bands and the other for Forensics, will be considered by the Senate in addition to the one for women's athletics. Apportionment of the two line items hasn't been set by the Finance and Auditing Committee.
Another bill placed on the Senate agenda at last night's StudEx meeting was one that would allow the power to provide polling places for student elections. Under the bill, polling places would be set up at Wescoe Hall, the lobby of the library and second floor entrance to Summerfield Hall.
A second bill, calling for full disclosure of campaign expenses and contributions by candidates for student body president two weeks after the election, was referred to the Student Rights, Responsibilities and Privileges Committee for consideration.
