Eat right to feel right
By SANDRA STEPHENS
Staff Writer
Students busy with classes
and part-time jobs often find
themselves pushing the buttons
of a vending machine or skipping
meals.
They may wonder if they're
getting the proper nutrition their
bodies need.
Mary Ann Johnson, an asso
ciate professor of food and nutri
tion, said each person can tell if
his body is getting enough food by
signals such as a difficulty con
centrating and feeling tired and
run-down.
Ron R. Eitenmiller, a professor
of food science and technology,
said three meals a day “provides
energy when you need it.”
Johnson said most diets lack
fruits and vegetables. The Na
tional Research Council has in
creased the recommended daily
servings of these foods from four
to five.
Cheese, apples and oranges
are good choices for snacks and
additions to meals, she said. Also,
fruit packs and juice packs avail
able in grocery stores are g<x>d al
ternatives for snacks.
It’s important to read the la
bels on food packages and look for
vitamins A and C in fruit juices,
Johnson said.
Vitamin C is important for
healthy skin and bones, and vi
tamin A is vital for healthy skin
and eyes.
People with high blood pres
sure might want to watch their
sodium intake, she said.
Processed foods such as potato
chips, luncheon meats and
pickles are often high in sodium.
Food served at fast-food res
taurants tend to be high in fat,
she said, and a person should
limit their fast-food intake to
once a day.
The grilled chicken sandwich
is a good alternative available in
fast-food restaurants such as
Chick-Fil-A and Burger King.
A person can be fooled at a
salad bar by salad dressing that
can be from 34 to 50 percent fat.
Cottage cheese, which has less
fat than salad dressing, can be
used as an alternative.
Johnson said pretzels, al
though high in salt, are a smart
choice when choosing a low-fat
and low-calorie snack from
vending machines.
“Pretzels have 2/3 the calories
of chips and cheese puffs and
seven to 10 times less fat," she
said.
Calcium intake should also be
a source of concern for students.
‘The calcium requirement for
males and females ages 19 to 24
has just gone up 50 percent, to 1,-
200 milligrams, which is the
amount of calcium in one quart of
milk," she said.
Anyone can get calcium from
sources other than milk. Frozen
yogurt is a wonderful snack-on-
the-go and another way to add
fruit to your diet, she said.
Many people who take vitamin
and mineral supplements think
the body will rid itself of excess
vitamins.
“We’re getting more evidence
that’s not really true," she said.
She said vitamins and min
erals such as vitamins A and D
and iron can be toxic.
Johnson said taking a supple
ment such as a multi-vitamin is a
better choice than taking a single
vitamin.
“Every vitamin has its own
pattern on the way the body han
dles it,” she said.
She said most people don’t
seem concerned about the lack of
nutrients in their diet.
Battle of the Kens
Efficiency of courts subject of debate
By CATHY FERRIS
Staff Writer
After 19 years as state court so
licitor. Ken Stula is being chal
lenged by lawyer Ken Mauldin.
The solicitor, who functions as
the city attorney, prosecutes all the
misdemeanors in the state court.
These include driving under the in
fluence, shoplifting, possession of
alcohol, possession of illegal drugs,
vehicular homicide and welfare
fraud.
Mauldin, a lawyer with the
Legal Aid Clinic and former pros
ecutor for the Clarke County Dis
trict Attome/s office, said his
reason for participating in the race
is the need for change.
“As we move forward into the de
cade of the ’90s, there is need for
change in both leadership and the
vision for the solicitor’s office,” he
said.
In a debate with Stula Tuesday
night, Mauldin outlined the
changes he would make in four
areas of the solicitor’s office. These
changes would include proper re
view and evaluation of cases, a
total commitment to the job, the es
tablishment of a Solicitor’s Clinic,

Mauldin: Changes needed
and a Victim/Witness Assistance
Program.
In 1989, the 125 criminal jury
trials held in the State Court of
Clarke County outnumbered the
jury trials held in a metropolitan
Atlanta county, Mauldin said.
‘This inefficiency is costly to the
taxpayers of Clarke County," he
said. “On average, in 1989, each
trial cost approximately $650 in
juror and bailiff fees.”
Mauldin said he is dedicated to
the jury system, but due to a lack of
Marta Ctay/The Red and Black
Stula: Proud of record
evaluation and preparation, cases
are currently going to trial which
shouldn’t.
Stula said 99 percent of all state
court cases end in plea bargain and
the other one percent go to jury
trial.
“One out of a hundred tried, I’m
proud of that record," Stula said.
‘There’s a lot more to this position
than this young fellow realizes.
We’ve had as many as 16,000
cases. Most cases are disposed of in
90 days."
There are many reasons for the
high number of cases, Stula said.
‘This being a college town and
many people demand a trial by
jury, Clarke County should expect
to see more cases,” he said. “I take
it as a compliment to have disposed
of this many cases.”
Begining Jan. 1, the solicitor’s
position will become full-time.
“While there have been two full
time assistant solicitors, the solic
itor himself has remained part-
time and maintained a private law
practice," Mauldin said. “It is a full
commitment to the job and to the
public that is needed.
“Anyone who knows me, knows
that I will be at the forefront of the
office,” he said.
Stula responded to this by refer
ring to his two years in the U.S.
Army.
“I was carrying a M-l rifle on
skis in a ski regiment in Japan
when he was still in his diapers,
and I think that qualifies for public
service," Stula said. “As far as
being fully committed, before this
boy got out of law school I probably
tried about 500 cases alone in state
court."
STARLING
From page 1
Some might feel he is choosing
the hard way of running a cam
paign. In keeping with his no-PAC
platform, he has refused all dona
tions from PACs, saying they have
too much influence over the elec
tion process.
Starling said that more than 50
percent of the House got re-election
campaign money from PACs. He
said that this forces politicians to
work for PACs and not for people.
‘Time spent fundraising is time
spent away from the job,” he said.
Since 1983, Barnard has re
ceived more than $300,000 from fi
nancial PACs. Barnard is also on
the House of Representatives’
banking committee, which Starling
said is a conflict of interest.
He said he would change the
PAC system by matching govern
ment and public funding to keep
spending eaual. In addition, he
said he would also like to see vol
untary spending limits set by can
didates in elections.
Under Starling’s proposal,
public money would be known as
“clean money,” with no outside in
terests involved. This would leave
politicians free of favors to special
interest groups, he said.
Starling’s campaign is being
funded through a bank loan and
private contributions. Meanwhile,
Barnard has $500,000 in his cam
paign fund, but has no staff and is
not doing much campaigning, he
said.
Starling said Barnard would
rather lose the election than spend
any money. This is the last election
in which left-over campaign funds
can be converted into personal use.
That practice has been outlawed
for following elections.
Barnard has not responded to
Starling’s candidacy other than to
say that he is glad there is competi
tion.
The Republican opposition, how
ever, is prepared to fight for the po
sition. Starling said after the
primaries, the Republican Na
tional Committee is ready to pump
money into the campaign. Starling
said he would have a better chance
than Barnard against a Repub
lican opponent.
The conservative Barnard is out
of touch with the Democratic
Party, according to Starling. He
said that when Michael Dukakis
held a rally in Georgia, Barnard
was attending a Republican
meeting featuring Oliver North.
The only reason that Barnard is
in power is that he’s never been
challenged,” he said, adding that
Barnard is part of the old school of
the Democratic Party.
University political science pro
fessor Brad Lockerbie said he
would bet that Barnard will win.
“This is one of the quietest Demo
cratic primaries in the state,” he
said.
Even if that happens, Starling
said he will run again in 1992.
A profile of incumbent Con
gressman Doug Barnard will ap
pear in next week's edition of The
Red and Black.
