FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS-SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1989
Instructor hopes to tutor
in extracurricular affairs
DEAR ABBY: lam 29, single, a sec
ond-year graduate student who works
full-time and also conducts a lab as a
graduate assistant. I don’t have much
spare time, which doesn’t matter
since I don’t know too many people (I
just moved to Texas last year), but I
like my job and working in the lab.
Lately, when I am away from the
lab, I have found my thoughts turning
more and more to one of the under
graduates I work with there. (I’ll call
her “Terri.”) She is probably 20 or 21,
bright, pretty, and she seems to like
me, not just as a teaching assistant
but as a person.
The feelings I am experiencing pose
a problem for me.
As Terri’s lab instructor, I am re
sponsible for a portion of the grade
she will receive in this class. I would
never let my personal feelings affect
how I graded any student, but do you
think my integrity would be sacrificed
if I asked her to dinner or a movie?
Horoscope
ARIES) Mar. 21 to Apr. 19)
You’ll be excited about some new
career developments today. Don’t
feel the need to keep up with a friend’s
lavish style of living and spending.
Accent moderation.
TAURUS(Apr. 20 to May 20)
You have extra drive today which
must be used positively. Don’t turn
will power into won't power. An urge
for self-improvement could send you
back to school.
GEMINI(May 21 to June 20)
Try not to be abrupt with an advis
er. Catching up on neglected chores
may be one of your top priorities for
today. Evening hours favor quiet
pursuits.
CANCER(June 21 to July 22)
Other than the fact you might spend
too much money, this is an excellent
day for getting together with others.
The late p.m., though, may find you a
bit cranky.

I really like Terri, and I’d like to
think that there might be a chance for
something more than a classroom re
lationship. I look forward to the days
when I know she will be in my lab. But
the nature of our existing relationship
(teaching assistant-student) dictates
that it will be a temporary one unless I
make my feelings known. What
should I do? (Please don’t print my
name.) Sign me ... HEART OF

WHAT YOU CAN DO
ABOUT A POT-BELLY
"It s this belly that gives men his
worst troubles." wrote the Greek
poet, Homer, in The Odyssey more
than 2,000 years ago.
And it still does! A recent USA To
day poll showed that 9 out of 10
Americans are generally dissatisfied
with their bodies, and the great ma
jority of both men and women dislik
ed their stomachs most. As former
football pro George Blanda pointed
out in his book. Feeling Great and
Looking Good Over Forty: "Nine out
of ten men who are out of shape' are
out of shape where it shows
most —around the middle. The mid
dle, in fact, is where middle age
starts."
So you can just about count on it.
Even if you're a "string-bean" type or
are young and athletic now, you’re
likely to end up with apot-belly soone
ror later—unless you take positive
and continuing steps to keep your
middle under control. You're even
more likely to "go to pot" if you sit at
a desk—or anywhere else —for a
good portion of your working life.
Looks plus health
Keeping tha tmiddle under control
isnt just a matter of looks. It's a mat
ter of health. Research has found that
men with "spare tires”—men whose
waists measure more than 90% of
their hips— have significantly higher
risks of heart disease and strokes.
Women whose waist sizes exceed
85% of their hip measurements have
greatr diabetes risks.
Pot-bellies—and the weak, sagg
ing abdominal muscles inariably ac
companying them —are also culprits
in a sizeable portion of back pro
blems, research-and the clinical ex
perience of the nation's doxtors of
chiropractic have found. For exam
ple, a study of some 5,000 back pain
patients by New York University and
Columbia University researchers
found that "abdominal muscle insuffi
ciency" was involved in four out of
five cases.
Experiences has shown ahat "trou
ble in the back frequently starts in
the front." As extra weight of a pot
belly is added to the front and ab
dominal muscles weaken, the back
muscles must pick up the extra stress
of keeping one upright and active.
students. If yours does, “Terri” is off
limits. Otherwise, go ahead and ask
her.
DEAR ABBY: Occasionally I have
clipped some inspirational pieces
from your column. Now I want to give
you one. Unfortunately, the author is

THANK YOU FOR TODAY
This is a beginning of a new day,
I can waste it or use it for good.
What I do today is important because
I am exchanging a day of my life for
it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will
be gone forever -
leaving in its place something I have
traded for it.
I want it to be gain, not loss; good, not
evil;
success, not failure; in order that I
shall not
regret the price I paid for today.
SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22 to Dec.
21)
You’re enthusiastic about a work
project and may be working overtime
on it today. You have a one-track
mind now, although you try not to be
oblivious to the needs of others.
CAPRICORN) Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
If ever there was a day you could
have fun, this is it. Enjoy sports, lei
sure pursuits and romance, but do
make an effort to keep spending with
in reasonable limits.
AQUARIUS) Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Your handy-man skills are to the
forefront and you’ll be puttering
around the house today. Try not to be
bossy with others or you’ll be dealing
with hurt feelings.
PISCES) Feb. 19 to Mar. 20)
No need to feel awkward in a social
situation today. You’ll do fine. Get-to
gethers with friends are favored now.
Tonight, though, be less self-insistent.

pain, including misalignments, disc
problems, injuries to facet joints and
others. Your doctor of chiropractic
can best diagnose and advise treat

pearance and health hazard—the
pot-belly? How can you avoid getting

haave it?
