New weight loss program offers relief from fad diets By LEIGH PRESSLEY Staff Writer As Spring Fever strikes in Chapel Hill, many UNC students focus on slim figures for the upcoming warm weather. Instead of flimsy fad diets, a new program started in January in the dietary department of the North Carolina Memorial Hospital makes it easier to lose weight moderately and keep the pounds off. The "Right Weigh," a 12-week program taught by registered hospital dieticians, teaches participants to distingish fad diets from healthy ones. According to instructor Debbie Jongkind, participants must "learn about moderate weight loss, proper nutrition and behavioral changes to lose weight and keep it off." Unlike many popular diets, the "Right Weigh" stresses independence in a variety of food choices. At the first session participants are instructed to keep a food diary for the week. The journals are then analyzed by a computer and discussed individually to determine the diet's missing nutrients. Caloric intake usually 1200 for women and 1500 for men is set up with the participant targeting "patterns for different calorie limits and the number of possible servings in a day," Jongkind said. Vocalist brings his special blend of blues, pop and soul to Durham By DAVID HESTER Sail Writer Joe Louis Walker of Oakland, Calif., is one of the brightest young blues stars today, and he brings his band, the Boss Talkers, to Under the Street in Durham tonight to play his distinctive mix of blues, pop and Memphis soul. Walker, a guitarist and a vocalist, said that his principal influences have included guitar legends such as Elmore James and Earl Hooker, but he said that the late Otis Redding has been his greatest influence. "I try to get the same sort of feel (Redding) had to his music," Walker said. Protest from page 1 missiles before they reach their target. During the protest, Segal and Matthew Tiedemann, former presi dent of STAND and co-organizer of the event, told the crowd that SDI is draining American taxpayers. "All SDI is really is a way to make people rich," said Tiedemann. Nuts, bolts and screws sold to the military cost taxpayers thousands of dollars each, Tiedemann said. Segal later said, "It's very logical to conclude that the same thing is going on with Star Wars. Even Reagan's experts have said that it won't work. It's a natural conclusion that they're doing it for reasons other than the safety of the American people." Dietrich Schroeer, professor of physics, said Wednesday morning: "A full-scale total defense is impossible. But money will continue to be put into the research. "Strategic defense was going on long before Reagan, and some research on strategic defense will continue. I don't think it will be eliminated altogether." The NSM is a new organization dedicated to educating students and instigating social activism, Segal said. Tiedemann said students should show their opposition to SDI by writing their congressmen and par ticipating in Student Lobby Day on April 14. STAND is organizing a trip to Washington to meet with members of Congress to discuss defense issues on National Lobby Day. Students interested in participating should leave a note in the STAND mailbox in the Campus Y. YOU CAN'T WEAR A DIPLOMA! But You Can Wear A College Ring! Order in time for graduation!

By eating healthy foods, dieters avoid health risks involved with losing too much weight too quickly. "There's no magic involved in the program. We try to avoid the 'yo-yo metabolism asso ciated with fad diets. The participant gains a much better understanding of a healthy diet," Jongkind said. Participants are free to choose their foods and make up their own diet plans using the program's exchange system. By substituting foods within six food groups the dieter may enjoy a wide variety and flexibility in meals. NCMH Clinical Dietetics Coordina tor Christine Bazzarre explained that this notion of not forbidding food eliminates cheating. "It's not the end of the world if you cheat as long as you get back to the plan as soon as possible," she said. The course highlights several additional nutrition topics, such as exercise, eating out in restaurants and tips to stay with the program. Jong kind said it is unrealistic for the dieter to continue the same eating habits with special occasions and eating out being a common occurrence. "Instead, we instruct the participant on how to ask questions about how things are prepared in restaurants, "There's an honesty, a sincerity, in every note he sang, and I want people to recognize the same thing in my music." In the recent past Walker has labored somewhat in the shadow of labelmate Robert Cray, but with his new album The Gift, Walker is now breaking through to a wider audience of his own. The Gift displays Walker's love of traditional blues, but it also show his attempts to blend other styles into his own interpretation of the blues. For example, one of the cuts on the album features a sax solo by Los Lobos' Steve Berlin, and other songs feature the world-renowned Memphis Horns. Walker said that his use of the Memphis Horns was a conscious attempt to put a particular type of soul flavor into his work, a type of music he said people don't hear enough of today. "There's not much real soul music being made these days," he said, "It's more pop than soul and that's a shame. The music that came out of Memphis in the past, particularly all those wonderful Stax records, was real soul music. It was something that spoke from the soul." Walker has played the blues since he was a teenager, but he left the blues Desktop Publishing, Inc. the experts in laser printing & computer typesetting Why trust your rsum6 to a quick copy shop??

Although the group does not exercise as a class, the "Right Weigh" program encourages exercise. One of the weekly programs consists of a guest lecturer speaking on exercise, cardiovascular health, fitness, aerobic benefits and flexibility. The "Right Weigh" is not only for the extremely overweight but also for those who are within five or ten pounds of their goal. "The program is for the person who recognizes a weight problem and needs to improve nutrition," Bazzarre said. Participants are required to com plete homework assignments between weekly meetings. The assignments investigate the dieter's eating habits and attempt to identify the problem. A fee of $96 is also charged for the 12-week program. "At the end of 12 weeks partici pants are qualified to get their weight under control," Bazzarre said. There are no continued sessions or pay ments as with several other diets on the market.

Williams said that he stopped playing the blues "because of the lifestyle and the casualties among my friends. I loved the music," Williams added, "but there were times I wasn't sure I was going to survive to play it. I needed a more stable environ ment to live in and work in, and the gospel scene served me well in that regard." Walker said that he recently returned to playing the blues because of his love for the music and because he knew that now he "could handle the lifestyle as well as the music." Now that he's a bluesman again, Walker said, "I'm here to stay." Walker plays acoustic, electric and slide guitar, and his band includes bassist Henry Oden, drummer Kelvin Dixon and keyboardist Jimi Stewart.

Lai I 1 d Trackin' the NASCAR season With one of auto racing's insiders I am told this is the first auto racing article ever to appear in the DTH. What a shame that UNC students have been deprived for so long. Well, no more. Some of you may have recognized my last name from the little stock car racing knowledge you have. For those of you who wondered, yes, my dad (Benny Parsons) and my uncle (Phil Parsons) both race in the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing's (NASCAR) Winston Cup division. Pretty heady stuff, isnt it? ' I will bring all of you who have not been following the Winston Cup season up to date on what has transpired. Number one on the list has to be the Tim Richmond saga. Richmond, as I am sure you remember, was the premier driver on the circuit in 1986. During the winter months of that year, he developed pneumonia and was not able to race for the first four months of the 1987 season. He was expertly substituted for by my father until he returned in mid-June. Richmond returned at the track where he won his first ever Winston Cup race, the Pocono International Raceway. He won the race in dra matic fashion, coming froxn a lap down to win. Richmond traveled west to race at Riverside, and his streak continued. He won this race going away, seem ingly ending all of the questions around his illness. Throughout his recovery, many speculated Richmond had AIDS, or that he had a drug alcohol problem. Richmond denied all the rumors, saying the attention he was receiving was flattering. But rumors still persisted. When the Winston Cup tour arrived at Michigan International Speedway in August and qualifying began, Richmond again sparked controversy. He was supposedly sound asleep in his parents' mobile home at the track and had to be Baseball wins eighth By CHRIS CHAPMAN Staff Writer Strong pitching and timely hitting, led by Chris Lauria's 3 for 4 perfor mance, propelled the Tar Heel base ball squad to a 5-3 victory Wednesday over the visiting Towson State (Maryland) Tigers. The win was the eighth in a row for the streaking Tar Heels, who raised their season record to 13-8 in front of another enthusi astic sellout crowd. It was Lauria, fittingly enough, who began the Tar Heel scoring. His second inning leadoff double ignited the initial UNC offensive, and was followed by a Jesse Levis grounder, which advanced Lauria to third. Dave Arendas followed with a grounder to second to bring Lauria home. Lauria increased the margin to 2 0 with his leadoff fourth-inning home run. The blast was the senior first baseman's sixth dinger of the year, and gave him the early-season team lead in round-trippers. Starting pitcher Scott (Pretzel) Lodgek was impressive on the mound through the first four innings, allow ing only two baserunners on a single and a walk, while striking out four.

He hastily got in his car and drove on the track, barely beating N ASCAR's time limit. Richmond did not qualify in the top 20. Then the final, startling conclusion came. As the rest of the tour prepared for the historic Southern 500 in Darlington, S.C., Richmond announced he was resigning as driver for Hendrick Motorsports because of persistent health problems. He raced no more in 1987. During the offseason, NASCAR instituted a drug policy and mandated that anyone could be tested if there was "reasonable cause" for concern. Everyone called this the Tim Rich mond Rule. When Februrary of this year rolled around, and all of the teams began heading for Daytona Beach, Fla., and the Daytona 500, Richmond said he was again healthy and wanted to race. He even told NASCAR he would be the first one to be tested under the new drug policy. NASCAR obliged, and found the test to be negative. Richmond then took another test, and subsequently passed. However, NASCAR has said that unless Richmond comes up with some medical records from his illness back in 1986, he will not be allowed to compete. The whole thing will probably be settled in court . . . Enough of the bad things about this Winston Cup season. On with the good points. Neil Bonnett has to be the come back athlete of the year. Not just in auto racing, but everywhere. Last year, in the Oakwood Homes 500 at the Charlotte Motor Spoeed way, Bonnett was in what appearred to be a routine one-car accident. It turned out to be anything but routine. batsmen began to decipher Lodgek's attack. Tim Cherizillo .started the rally off with a single, followed by a Dave Cassaed double, and then a two-run Mike Wlaerek single made things interesting. With the score knotted at two apiece, Lodgek settled down after the assault and managed to retire the next three batters. "Scott pitched really well overall except for that series when he gave them f astballs down the middle. After that, he pitched his way back into the game," Tar Heel coach Mike Roberts said. The Tar Heels regained the lead in the seventh. Dave Arendas began the rally with a one-out single. Craig (Great) Scott then singled, and Brad Woodall doubled to score Arendas. Tom Nevin hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Scott. The Heels gof an insurance run in the eighth, when Lauria got his third score by stealing home on a botched Tiger squeeze play. Lodgek continued strong through eight and one third innings, when a Churizillo double brought on Ryan (Action) Jackson.

The Caroliaa Popalatioa Tar HeelThursday, March 24, 19887 In the accident, Bonnett's right femur was crushed. Not broken, crushed. Doctors had to completely reconstruct the bone and said Bonnett might never walk again. Well, as happens so many times, Bonnett did not listen to the experts. He worked hard during the off season, doing triple the amount of work the doctors had prescribed. All of his work paid off, as he was able to go to Daytona and compete, not spectate. As Bonnett would later confess, this was a victory all in itself. He finished fourth in the Daytona 500, and was praised for his effort. Bonnett really shocked the racing world when he not only won the next race in Richmond, Va,. but also his third race back in Rockingham. Add to this his victory in Australia in a non-sanctioned NASCAR event and Bonnett had won three races in a row. He came back to earth this past weekend in Atlanta, suffering engine problems and finishing back in the pack ... The final huge story of this year is the tire war between the Goodyear and Hoosier Companies. Since the early 1970s, when Firestone dropped out, Goodyear has had more or less a monopoly in stock car racing. Last year, Hoosier started providing tires for the Grand National division of NASCAR, the top level in stock car racing after the Winston Cup. This year, Hoosier has turned it sights on Winston Cup and has come up with surprising success. Bonnett used Hoosiers in his wins at Rich mond and Rockingham, giving Hoosier a split with Goodyear in the first four races. Both companies see this competi tion as being good for racing, and most insiders agree. It has caused Goodyear to go back to the drawing 'board, and a better tire is being created ... Well, that is that. I hope each of you enjoyed being a part of DTH history. I know I sure did. straight run, but when the next Tiger batter flew, out to i Tom .Nevin, Jackson had his first save, Lodgek evened his mark u at 2-2, and the Heels had their eighth P straight win. Coach Roberts then began to look ahead to tommorrow's ACC opener against Wake Forest in Winston Salem, and to the quickly approach ing conference race. "The ACC is the most even it has ever been. At least four, maybe five or six teams could be in the first and second slot. For example, Virginia has already beaten Georgia Tech, a team that didn't have that great a season last year beating the defending conference champion. The main thing for us is to play with consistency." Scoreboard Women's Tennis UNC 7, N.C State 2 In RaMgh 1. Ann Stephenson (UNq d Kate Remng 7-5, 7-5 2.
