6The Daily Tar HeelFriday, September 24, 1982 Many so-called cures don't really help 1 lme, temperance hangover cures only Dy BELINDA ROLLINS Staff Writer Grapefruit. Bathing suit. Chew a little Juicy Fruit. Wash away the night. Drive-in. You guzzle gin. Com mit a bunch of mortal sin. It's good for your soul. .' Jimmy Buffett "Grapefruit-Juicy Fruit" Jimmy Buffett recommends grapefruit juice and Juicy Fruit gum. Some people swear by having Bloody Marys the morning after. Doctors argue that moderation is the only remedy. Unfortunately, for those who have already overin dulged, the only surefire cure for a hangover is abstinence. "All cures are pure myth," said Lucie Minuto, a health educator at the Campus Alcohol Education Services. She said hangovers are really the body's way of go ing into withdrawal. They usually last one or two days. The symptoms vary, depending on the indi vidual and the amount of alcohol consumed. Most sufferers feel depressed, and sometimes the depres sion is accompanied by headaches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. A severe hangover is enough to make even the most dedicated drinker promise to mend his ways. Some students feel depressed on Monday and Tuesday because their bodies are still trying to recover from an overdose of alcohol. Minuto said some students start the weekend on Thursday because they still feel depressed and are looking for a "pick-me-up." However, this is not logical because the alcohol they seek is a depressant. This pattern may explain the greater number of stu dent absences on Mondays and Fridays at UNC. Minuto advises students against drinking heavily on weekends if they have exams on Monday. They, won't be as alert, she said. Plus, they probably studied less than they would have if they had not drunk heavily. . The headaches occur because alcohol causes dila tion and irritation of the blood vessels of the brain and surrounding tissue. Dr. Seymour Diamond, author of The Headache Book, said the consumption of fructose, which is found in tomato juice and honey, will aid the body in burning the alcohol. Minuto disagreed; "In order for fructose to help, it has to be taken intravenously." She said Diamond may have drawn his conclusions from a study con ducted to investigate the possible benefits of fructose intake. - Some students believe that aspirin will prevent or cure a hangover headache. Scott Ball, a senior from Leesburg, Va., said, "I usually try to sleep it off and take lots of aspirin the morning after." But time is about the only healer for a hangover, Minuto said. If a person has one or two drinks an hour, he probably won't get sick or have a hangover. A drink is one ounce of liquor, a glass of wine or a 12-ounce beer. "The liver can only metabolize about one ounce of alcohol per hour," Minuto said. Any more than that may cause problems. omach-related problems also plague many hang over sufferers. Students also have their own ideas about preventing them. "All you have to do is quit drinking an hour before you go to bed and get some thing to eat," said David Boggs, a sophomore from Statesville. . Minuto said that eating a meal, especially one that contains fat, will help slow alcohol absorption. Fe males tend to have more stomach-related problems than males because they tend to eat lightly or not at all on days they plan to drink, in an effort to cut calories. ; "Girls who drink on an empty stomach are sub jecting the stomach lining to a caustic reaction," Minuto said. With no medical cures available, many people rely on home remedies like those printed in The Foxfire Book, edited by Eliot Wjggintoni "Smear brow with crushed onions or tie a flour sack around your head. When you get your hair cut, gather up all the clip pings. Bury them under a rock and you will never have a headache." - The Foxfire Book also lists a way to settle the stomach: "Place five small flint rocks in a glass4 of water. Let it sit for a few minutes and drink." These may not sound like the most sophisticated methods, but many people who believe in plain living are con vinced of their effectiveness. i ij Since there are no medically-accepted cures,for hangovers, Minuto advised, "If you don't like ydur hangovers, then don't drink as much." r IP m , ' V". ! of v. 1 i r- f T F X X ) i DTtVScott Sharp Depression, nausea, headache a few signs of hangover ... myths about cures for hangovers have filled volumes Killer bees 'moving slowly to U.S.; Pprno From page 1 potential problem for bee industry The Associated Press WASHINGTON The so-called "killer bees," slowly moving north to the United States, are every bit as aggressive as they have been billed and could seriously hurt the American beekeeping in dustry, say U.S. Agriculture Department scientists. An extensive study of the aggressive behavior of the bees shows that they are more prone to attack than normal bees and they do so in greater numbers; says a report to be" published in Science magazine. , f - ' The Africanized bee, so named because it descends from a variety imported from South Africa, were tested against normal European-derived honey bees during simulated attacks on their hives. - .' In tests on large colonies, Africanized bees rose to the attack more quickly and delivered 8.2 times more stings on leather targets than other bees, said the researchers. The report also said the idea that the Africanized bees would become more docile as they spread north and mated with other For-the record--" v : : v . bees apparently is untrue. The stinging rate of bees in Venezuela was about three times higher than those tested earlier in Brazil, where the African bees were introduced in 1956, said the study. - Stinging rate is important because of the amount of toxin it in troduces into the target. While some people die each year from allergic reactions to a bee sting; most people can survive results of the small amount of toxin in a few stings. However, deaths attributed to attacks by Africanized bees often result from the combined toxin of hundreds of stings, said one of the researchers. . The study by Anita M. Collins, Thomas E. Rinderer, John R. Harbo and Alan B. Bolten involved testing more than 300 bee col onies in Venezuela and at the USD A Bee Breeding and Stock Center Laboratory in Baton Rouge, La. Collins said in a telephone interview that current estimates in dicate the bees could be in the southwestern U.S. between 1988 and 1992. From page 1 Because of a proofreading error, a sentence in "Phi Beta Kappa honors scholastic achievers," (DTH, Sept. 21), in correctly stated that a fee for the society ranged from $49 to $196. The sentence should read, "Before eligible students can become members, they must pay a fee that ranges from $49 to $106." The DTH regrets the error. lurun or u m 0S I I !

The $75,000 stuy is funded by the telephone industry, but the companies will have no control over its content. "The telephone companies will simply submit in formation like everyone else," Wing said. According to Wing, 18 of the 30 telephone companies statewide have con tributed money to the administration. "Everything's in an uproar in the telephone industry. We want to try to get some policy sense made of this," she said. five varied services. For $25 the customer receives a topless massage, given by the girl of his choice, lasting 15-20 minutes. For $30, the parlo offers a nude massage and shower lasting 20-30 minutes. A customer can participate in a nude mutual massage ranging for 25-30 minutes for $40. The price jumps to $60 for a nude mutual massage with "breast relief lasting 30-45 minutes. The ultimate massage lasts up to one hour and includes a nude mutual with a shower for $65. An employee of University Massage, who would identify himself only as Rick, said the owner refused to grant an inter view with The Daily Tar Heel. Detective Lindy Pendergrass of the Chapel Hill Police Department said en forcement of the prostitution law with respect to massage parlors was a "real pro blem." Police officers cannot participate in a criminal act and therefore could not testify in court if they went undercover in to a massage parlor, he said. The latest ar rest for prostitution at a local parlor was made in February 1982 at the Boulevard Massage. Since that arrest; no ' further complaints have been received, he said., "We should have more stringent or dinances on those places," Pendergrass said. In addition to massage parlors, Chapel Hill also has its share of pornographic magazines. Almost every convenience, grocery, and drug store in town sells popular adult magazines such as Playboy, Playgirl, and Penthouse. A few stores sell "hard core" magazines and sex manuals many of which are placed on the same shelf with popular fashion and sports magazines, within the reach of children. Parent Teacher Association President for Chapel Hill High School, Judy Eastman, said she has not noticed a pro blem with pornography among students. "I think they are aware of its existence, but it doesn't play a major part in their lives," she said. A few North Carolina cities, such as Charlotte, have local ordinances regulating the display of adult magazines. Covers depicting nudity or sexual acts must be wrapped to restrict children from viewing them. . "However.Hheity doesnot restrict the sale of them (magazines)," " said Dee ; Ballard of the Charlotte dty attorney's of fice. "We did not feel that we could con stitutionally restrict their sale." funding Some business that sell adult magazines in Chapel Hill place them in display stands or on a shelf out of the reach of children. . One store, Sutton's Drug Store on Franklin Street, reported that adult magazines were its top sellers. But Sutton's is very selective about the type of material they sell, its owner said. : , "Some of those magazines I just refuse to carry," Sutton's owner John Woodard said. Playboy, Penthouse and Playgirl are. the only magazines Woodard sells. v "They are bad enough, but at.least they are done with. some professionalism," he said. Chapel Hill Town Council member Bev Kawalec said that the culture and character of the community provides self-regulation or pornography. "We are so liberal, so lenient," she said. "I can't imagine us (the town council) regulating what people see or read." The issue of regulating or censoring por- , nographic material is a "First Amendment issue,", said council member Winston Broadfoot. If the material in the town is "hard core arid without redeeming 'value," Broadfoot said the council should take ac tion to remove these magazines from, the reach of children. From page 1 "A 200 to 250 rating used to be good enough; about one-third to one-half of the grants approved wound up being funded," he said. "But today, a score of 140 to 180 is needed; only about 20-25 percent of the grants approved are fund ed. A lot of good investigators are finding that they're not able to get funds now." Ontjes said it was ironic that the department has more grant funds than ever before. With faculty members par ticipating in six research centers (such as the Cancer Research Center), the depart ment's research and training awards from federal sources and private foundations totalled more than $6 million, he said.

That sum matches 1982 research awards to the UNC College of Arts and Sciences ($6.3 million) and to the School of Public Health ($6.2 million). At the Health Services Research Center, the Robert Wood Johnson Foun dation funds seven of its 20 current pro jects. Since most of the center's other projects are funded by private funds, re search assistant Tom Ricketts said the projects haven't been affected yet by budget cuts. But "health services research is sort of a political football for some people," he added. Funding sources have dried up for sociology -professor Henry Landsberger, now in his second year of comparing in ternational health -policy attitudes. Last year, his grant funded a research assis tant, but this year he is on his own. His grant applications were met with "repeated 'nos' " from a variety of public organizations, he said, attributing it to their perceiv ed political sensitivity of his research, and the fact that they were just "out of funds." "The money is difficult," said James Gallagher, director of the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center. Their research and training funds in 1982 totalled $1.98 million. "It used to be that if you were doing quality work, you could count on getting funds (especially) in the social sciences," he said. The funding cuts are going to chase a lot" of people out of quality research, and it will be difficult to get them back," Gallagher saidi 8 .-'JELLY JUMP 8 ' v ..'. : ; O OSign up iat Zack's for our Jelly Jump.O gWin cash prizes up to $100.00, as wellg oas T-shirts and hats.
