But there are many health reasons for maintaining an ideal weight. By maintaining an ideal weight, or an average weight based on height and bone structure, students can decrease their chances of developing many of the nation's top killers. Researchers say that obesity is related to diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, even cancer. Medical professionals generally agree that people who weigh 20 percent more than their ideal weight are 'clinically obese.' Studies show that 10 percent to 40 percent of the American population suffers from obesity. Besides increasing the like lihood of disease and death, obesity can lead to psychological problems and discrimination. According the the National Food and Nutrition Board, the average 19 to 22 year old male is 69 inches tall, weighs 147 pounds, and consumes 3000 calories a day. The average 19 to 20 year old female is 65 inches tall, weighs 128 pounds, and con sumes 2100 calories each day. "College students are more con cerned with weight control than most other people," says Sue Gray, Direc tor of Health Education at the Student Health Services. "I don talk to overweight students about dieting because that word is equated with deprivation." Instead, Ms. Grey emphasizes moderation and balance. To lose weight, people must con- Ten tips for weight loss Preplan food intake for each day. Look over entire array of food before beginning to eat. Plan a short delay before starting to eat. Eat preferred foods first. Swallow food before adding more to utensils. Plan a series of brief delays during meals by: 1) putting down utensils 2) sipping a beverage 3) using a napkin more frequently 4) conversation Always leave a small amount of food on your plate. Change your route if a particular snack bar or vending machine you regularly pass by presents a problem. Keep records of food eaten and weight changes. Emphasize behavior change more than immediate loss.

As long as energy intake equals energy output, current weight will be maintained. When calorie intake exceeds calorie expenditure, the excess is stored in fat. Safe ways to reduce calorie intake include restricting consumption of foods which are high in fat or sugar and cutting down on snacks. Regular exercise will increase calorie expen diture and help to establish a desir able energy balance. Gradual weight reduction is more effective in the long run than a crash diet. I Unfortunately, some students go too far with weight loss. Heightened weight consciousness has caused an increase on two eating disorders: anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Anorexics are obsessed with the desire to be thin. They tend to be female, less than 25 years old, and to weigh at least 25 percent less than normal for their height and bone structure. Anorexia nervosa can lead to muscle wasting, depressed heart and metabolic rates, ammenorhea, abnor mal elucose. hormone and electrolyte levels, cardiovascular and kidney failure. Professional counseling is the preferred treatment. Bulimia is characterized by binge eatine followed bv self-induced vomiting or laxative abuse. The cycle usually begins with normal dieting behavior. This leads to a feeling of deprivation which can trigger exces sive overeating. An ARA Service newsletter quotes some clinical reports which indicate that as many as 25 percent of college aee women mav "Dig-out" and then vomit to control weight. Medical complications of bulimia include electrolyte imbalance, aentai problems and depression. Bulimics usually weigh within the normal range.

During the summer, the student population shrinks, most drasticly on campus where many buildings stand virtually vacant all summer. For the police the burden shifts from protect ing the students to protecting the campus. Sgt. Ned Comar of the UNC-CH Campus Police says during the summer the police must deal with "crimes of opportunity." Vandalism can be a problem during the summer months. In the winter, campus employees, RAs, and students are able to report damaged property, and the mere presence of other people on campus often dis courages vandals. However, in the summer the campus becomes a virtual ghost town, especially late at night and on weekends. This isola tion can also encourage theft which is by far the most common crime. Sgt. Comar noted that bikes are especially vulnerable during the summer, and that owners should be more careful about leaving bikes, even when chained, in deserted areas. The population shift has far less affect on the Chapel Hill police says officer Keith Lowman. High school students, summer visitors, and res idents who go out more during the summertime make up for the lack of UNC-CH students. 929-1976 ..6 200 W. Main St..
