Taste-Test (Continued from page 1) this group. But another factor appears to be involved in the obese group's unenthusiastic response to the foods in the experiment. Dr. Gerard J. Musante surveyed patients from the Dietary Rehabilitation Clinic and found that they get less pleasure and enjoyment out of most activities in life than people of normal weight. This included everything from sports and reading to eating. Musante, assistant professor of community health sciences, and Dr. Schiffman recently presented a paper on their work with the diet clinic at a meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Behavior Therapy in Miami. Musante began his behavior therapy work with the clinic in July, 1972. He said that instead of telling overweight people they should have self-control and self-discipline, the behavior therapy groups try to teach the patients how to get more enjoyment out of life. Musante points out that frustration and boredom and lack of planning and goal-setting have something to do with overeating. "We don't talk about cheating on the diet. That implies immorality. We talk about unstructured eating. People eat this way because they haven't planned their day. They have free time and are bored, so they eat," he said. Besides teaching them to structure their time, Musante said he tries to teach them to deal with their frustrations, to become more assertive. Cards on the tables where the dieters eat remind them "One minute. Utensils down. Slow down, 20 minutes." The idea is to teach them new eating behavior, he said. Wait a minute before starting, don't dive in to your food. Put your fork down between mouthfuls, don't keep shoveling it in. Try to take 20 minutes to finish a meal so that your body will have a chance to feel satiated. McLeod Leaves Duke Donald C. McLeod, assistant director of pharmacy, has left Duke to assume the position of director and assistant professor of pharmacy at Buffalo General Hospital in New York.- A native of Norman, N.C., McLeod came to Duke in 1971 as assistant director of the department. For the past two-and-one-half years he has been responsible for the management of all education and drug information activities. He has also been instrumental in establishing the new program of unit dose dispensing in the hospital. In 1972 the pharmacy department underwent major administrative changes and appointed a second assistant director, Clyde Buchanan, to take charge of central dispensing, pharmacy purchasing, pharmacy production, intravenous admixtures, and the unit dose drug distribution system.

On the evening this photograph was taken all was quiet, and the hospital was but a shadow of its daytime self. But while Durham and most medical center employees slept, a number of "night people" were at their posts as they are every evening, caring for patients and standing ready for service as the need arose. Next week the INTERCOM will recognize these people by publishing photos of them while they work.

Ken Blumenthal, who graduated from Duke last December, is directing "Zoo Story."

Greg Rowe, a December graduate in drama of North Carolina Central University, is directing Lewis J. Carlino's play, "Snowangel." It is a moving story about a prostitute and a man who meet and share experiences by acting out their lovers' lives. In the cast are seniors Rich Ravits and Wendy Bartel.
