The Daily Tar HeelMonday, January 23, 19895 Keep Tabs On Your Cans to benefit kidney foundation By ELLEN THORNTON .Staff Writer - Consuming large amounts of beer may not be good for the kidneys, but if the beer comes ;in aluminum cans, it can be helpful -for the National Kidney .Foundation. . Beer and soda drinkers can now recycle their cans and send the pro ceeds to the National Kidney Foun dation of North Carolina (NKFNC) through a new program sponsored by the foundation and Reynolds Aluminum Recycling Company. "Keep Tabs On Your Cans" is a program that allows people to spec ify that the money earned from recy cling their used aluminum cans, pie plates, foil and frozen food trays is to be donated directly to the founda tion. Reynolds Aluminum donates 2 cents a can to the foundation, according to Marion Kalbacker, a NKFNC Board of Trustees member. People just need to take their alumi num to a Reynolds recycling center. "Look at how much good cans just from campus could do," said Del Whittaker, executive director of the NKFNC. Whittaker said Reynolds periodi cally totals the donations and sends a check to the NKFNC. The money goes to one of five major areas: research, professional education, public education, patient services or community services, she said. The money could also help fund pro grams such as summer camps for children with kidney disease. "The program serves a dual pur pose," Kalbacker said. "It serves a direct patient benefit as well as recy cling aluminum." The foundation started the suc cessful program in June 1988. Rumors had been circulating that recycling the tabs from aluminum cans would buy a kidney patient time on a dialysis machine, Whit taker said. Because so many people were interested in helping the National Kidney Foundation, it joined with Reynolds to create a similar program. Recycling entire cans does not buy time on a dialysis machine, but it is much more benefi cial than recycling only the tabs, he said. Chapel Mill has no Reynolds recy cling centers, but two centers are located in Durham, a Reynolds spo kesman said. Reynolds and the i NKFNC encourage campus service organizations to set up a recycling bin on campus or to collect alumi- -I num and make mass deliveries. If you are interested in helping with -j the program, contact the NKFNC at 1-800-35NKFNC. Liquid diet programs popular Campus Calendar By MARY JO DUNN1NGTON .Staff Writer It's several weeks after the start of the new year, and many people are trying to keep their resolu tion to lose that excess weight. With -their new role model, talk-show hos tess Oprah Winfrey, dieters have focused their attention on liquid diets. f People trying diets similar to Winfrey's medically supervised pro . gram are limited to the 400 to 800 .calories a day. A liquid food supple--ment, which dieters drink five times . a day for 12 to 25 weeks, provides -the nutrients for dieters. . Winfrey owes her success to the Optifast Program, one of the more : popular of the liquid diets. The -HCA Raleigh Community Hospital . administers one of four Optifast . programs in the state. About 100 - people are now participating in the program, said Anne Wilbourne, the center's medical secretary. . . "We've been really busy lately I because of the Oprah Winfrey , thing," she said. "WeVe had to put . many people on the waiting list." . To be considered for the 26-week . program, a person must be 18 years . old and at least 50 pounds over- - weight. A doctor at the center also must examine participants before placing them on the program. Dur ing the first 12 weeks, participants drink the diet liquid five times a day. Then they are slowly reintroduced to solid food. The program concludes with a period of stabilization and follow-up. An important aspect of the pro gram is the mandatory weekly visit to the center, Wilbourne said. These visits include medical examinations, behavior modification, consultations with an exercise physiologist and blood tests. Even though the program is under strict medical supervision, the liquid diets have received criticism from nutrition experts. Cost can often be prohibitive, according to registered dietician Marcia Mills, president of Profile Associates. The Optifast Program in Raleigh costs $2,700 for 26 weeks, which covers the expense of the product, medical visits and counseling services. Mills also called liquid diets "unrealistic," pointing out that the dieter is not learning how to make decisions about what he or she eats. "It takes you out of your life situa tion," Mills said. "You may lose the weight, but once you're off the diet, you are likely to return to your old School raises funds to endow new Spearman professorship From stall reports UNC's School of Journalism reached its goal of $333,000 in gifts and pledges to endow a professor ship in honor of the late Walter Spearman. The funds were raised in less than two years. Spearman, who died of cancer at age 79 in 1987, taught in the journalism school for 45 years. State matching funds of $167,000 will be put in escrow for the professorship, while the remaining pledges are made. Internship deadline nears Sophomores, juniors and seniors enrolled in N.C. colleges or who are N.C. residents attend- University Briefs ing out-of-state schools have until Friday to apply for the Summer Intern Program sponsored by UNC-CH's Institute of Government. Twenty-eight students will be selected to participate in a living learning internship in N.C. state and local governments. Students wishing to receive an information brochure, description of available internships and an application form should contact their college or university place ment office or the Institute of Government at UNC. eating habits because you have done nothing to alter them." The low-calorie diet liquids, such as those used by the Optifast Pro gram, are sold only to doctors or hospitals, but diet products such as "Slim Fast" and "Diet Fast Liquid Meal Replacement Powder" are sold in grocery, drug and specialty stores. When mixed with skim milk, these powders produce drinks with 180 to 220 calories. These products cost about $7 for a 16-ounce can. Susan Chappell, the director of UNC's Wellness Center, advised people to use such products with care. "Most nutritionists do not recommend these diets," Chappell said. "You should remember that Oprah was on a medically super vised program. There have been sev eral deaths where people were hand ling these diets themselves." Mills agreed that these products are not particularly beneficial. "It's fine to have one of these drinks once in a while for a meal when you're in a hurry or something," she said. "It's just like a milkshake, though. It doesn't have any magical properties." A regular milkshake made from yogurt and a banana is cheaper and tastes better, she added. Mills emphasized that the best way to lose weight is still to examine and modify eating habits and include an exercise program with a diet.
