University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, March 28, 1990 11 Despite popularity, some question dieting regimens By Chris Siron Kansan staff writer People in the United States spent $33 billion last year in the weight-loss marketplace, but local dietitians the usefulness of some of the goods and services purchased. About half of all U.S. women and one-fourth of U.S. men are on diets of some kind, according to statistics from MarketData Enterprises and the House Committee on Small Businesses. The statistics indicate dieters spent about $11.4 billion in 1989 on diet soft drinks, about one-third of all the money spent on diet aids. Ann Davis, dietitian with Student Health Service, said that soft drinks could have a place in curbside vending machines so that soft drink nihques did occur. "I've seen some college females who drink up to a six-pack a day or more," she said. "What they are doing is shorting themselves nutrition they need." Commercial clinics and non- prescription appetite suppressants make up $2.17 billion, or 16.7 percent, of the total diet market. Davis said appetite suppressants and some commercial programs did not help a person keep off lost weight. 'The bottom line is you've got to burn more calories than you consume over the long term, then you have to hold the weight down. There's no magic.' — Lee Girard manager of Alvamar Nautilus Club "You can't use those things forever," she said. "The more structured the program 'is,' the more likely it is to fail because it is not real world." Davis said aerobic exercise was as important, if not more important, than food restrictions in a diet regimen. Lee Girard, manager of Alvamar Nautilus Club, 4120 Clinton Parkway, said that many people had problems sticking with their exercise programs, making dieting difficult. the newcomer turnover is high," he said. "They are hard at it for two, three, four months, then they go away." You out you unusually disappear." Girard said he questioned the effectiveness of quick, easy weight-loss programs. "The bottom line is you've got to burn more calories than you consume over the long term, then you have to hold the weight down," he said. "There's no magic." Tracy Thomas, representative for Nutri-System Weight Loss Centers, a national commercial diet center, designed to enable possible diet clinics was unfair.

After three years of study, issues surrounding a proposed Eastern Indian settlement Parkway discussion continues By Kathryn Lancaster Kansan staff writer The parkway, which would connect Kansas Highway 10 to Seventh Street downtown, has divided Lawrence opinion from its conception. Last week, several community members said they remained uncertain about the city's intentions to adhere to task force recommendations that were presented to therence City Commission a year ago. An Eastern Parkway Task Force, created in October 1987, worked for almost two years to establish criteria for the development of the Schachen, task force chairman. Commissioner Mike Rundle said the task force, which was established to help resolve conflict surrounding the parkway, consisted of representatives from five groups: the east Lawrence neighborhood, the city, county, district, and Lawrence businesses and the trucking industry. Mayor Bob Schumm, a task force member, said that he supported the criteria presented to the commission and did work to see that they were adopted. The Eastern Parkway was conceived as a means to allow travel from downtown and the eastern industrial centers and to avoid most of the east Lawrence neighborhoods, Rundle said. Part of the plans included a narrowing of Seventh Street from New Hampshire to New York streets. Richard Kershenbaum, a task force member representing east Lawrence, said at the March 13 commission meeting that city staff had not adhered to Seventh Street guidelines. George Williams, city planning director, said that for the design to work, the road had to be widened lightly. Rundle said he was not sure it planners had changed the design or correctly interpreted the commission's instructions. "I am reserving judgment to see whether it was really a change or it was a legitimate interpretation," he said. If there were changes to be made, the commission should have reviewed them, he said. Schumm said that after reviewing drafts of the proposed road and the road built, he thought city planners had acted properly. Schachter said three issues needed to be resolved before beginning work on the parkway. The city must discuss the criteria and hire an engineer to develop a corridor study, he said. An election must be scheduled and state officials must decide whether to provide financing for any or all of the project. Rundle said that before scheduling a vote, commissioners needed the corridor study outlining the design, costs and map of the road. Jolene Anderson, president of the East Lawrence Improvement Association, said she would like to support a parkway but not until she was certain that the project would benefit the neighborhood. The parkway should provide a barrier to industrial encroachment, she said. The neighborhood should be made more attractive as a place to live and less attractive as a place to develop. Commissioners have never adopted the task force criteria, Rundle said. However, they will consider the criteria and city staff in a meeting in October in a study session. No date for the session has been set. Rundle said the commission would review each point but would try to honor the task force recommendations.
