The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, February 25, 19875. Breakfast needs vary for students By CAROLE FERGUSON Staff Writer Rise and shine! You may require that little boost of caffeine to get you going, but according to some local nutritionists and UNC students, a big morning meal is probably not necessary. 1 might pick up a doughnut and orange juice between classes," said Kim Jernigan, a freshman Cobb resident."! never really eat breakfast." Students who do count on a morning meal often keep it light. "Something like Rice Krispies and a vitamin" holds sophomore Joe DiLello over until lunch. He said coffee is absolutely necessary to keep him alert. Class scheduling makes a differ ence to many students. Freshman Amie Yandle said she eats a substan tial breakfast on Tuesdays and Thursdays when she has late classes, but other weekdays she eats little or nothing before her 8 a.m. class. Eat parallel to your activity, said Gail Levey, nutrition spokesman for the American Dietetic Association. She said since many college students have irregular schedules, meals may also be irregular. Requirements for those who are early to bed and to rise will be quite different from requirements for those who are late sleepers. Operation By KATHY WILSON Staff Writer On a cold winter's night in Raleigh last February, a group of weary young hikers bedded down for what they thought would be a good night's rest. Instead, they were rudely awakened and taken away from their campsite by people who wanted to test their mental and physical courage. If the campers passed the grueling weekend of intellectual, emotional and physical testing, each was entitled to be a Venturer for Oper ation Raleigh, an international scientific and humanitarian project named after the famous explorer Sir Walter Raleigh. The selection weekend described above is held in Raleigh for North Carolina young adults ages 17 to 24. During the course- of the weekend, campers are observed to see how well they hold up after hiking miles through the woods, living on a sparse diet and solving problems with others. The rigorous program has not daunted many individuals, because the program has received applica tions from all the United States except nine. Operation Raleigh's lure is the chance for a person to spend three months in a foreign country of his choice. Operation Raleigh was begun by Prince Charles of England and Colonel John Blashford-Snell, a renowned world explorer.

But Levey said that idea doesn't necessarily hold true for adults. "There is really not a lot of scientific proof on the benefits of breakfast for adults." "1 cant eat that early," Jernigan said. This is a common complaint, according to Levey. "Some people say eating early in the morning makes them nauseous. You can't tell them they have to eat," she said. Calorie-conscious students often skip breakfast simply to avoid eating. This is a common pitfall of dieters, according to Wendy Gasch of the International Life Sciences Institute-Nutrition Foundation. "They skip breakfast, skimp on lunch, and then they're starved at dinner," she said. A good breakfast can help avoid that ravenous hunger later on, Gasch said. The purpose of breakfast is to gradually increase blood sugar levels, Gail Levey said. "Unless youVe been up partying all night, your blood sugar is low when you wake up. If it stays low you tend to get sluggish and then overeat." Raising blood sugar levels doesn't mean eating sugary foods. Powerful, sugary foods such as doughnuts and Pop Tarts won't give you sustained Raleigh provides opportunity for Charles started the project when he realized that today's youth had no more undiscovered frontiers to explore and not many adventure some journeys left in the world. The project began in 1984 and will run through 1988, in three month phases. The program has three require ments. A Venturer must be 1 7 to 24 years old, be able to speak English and be able to swim 500 yards. In order to participate, the Venturer must also raise $5500 from his community. This fund-raising rein forces the project's strong commit tment to community because the Venturer is encouraged to present a program to his community after returning. if PERSONALIZED WOMEN'S HEALTH CARE Our private confidential Birth Control Relief of Menstrual Cramps Gynecology Take a step in the right direction with the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine University Circle 10515 Carnegie Ave. Cleveland 231-3300, ext. 347 "We Practice What We Teach1 SALE i Feb. 26-28 to half on: clothing Sierra Designs - f tiii W. . ,v . v. v. . 1 What will it be this morning - a energy, Levey said.

Francois Desoutter, a first semester freshman, returned in December from her phase in New Zealand. She had wanted to enlist in the Peace Corps, but she isn't a U.S. citizen. Operation Raleigh was her alternative to the Peace Corps. "(The) adventure attracted me," Desoutter said."l was looking for something different." Desoutter worked on a farm for five days as part of her contribution to the New Zealand community. She helped the farmer in "dagging," which is shearing the back end of a sheep in preparation for the shearing season.

"New Zealand is a country of five million people and 650 million sheep," Desoutter said. One of Desoutter's scientific projects was to help rid a lake of a weed that caused "duck itch" to swimmers. The weed supposedly first began to grow when someone threw his goldfish into the lake.
