Main 822-6000 Research Shows Fat Children Grow Into Fat, Dieting Adults Dieting-addicted adults are try ing to solve problems that began when they were children, accord ing to research by a Texas A&M professor. Dr. Charles B. Corbin of A&M’s Health and Physical Education Department measured fat on 1,200 College Station grade school child ren for some condemning figures and grim conclusions. _ His studies under an A&M Re search Council grant reveals six to 17 per cent of the school sys tem’s six through 12 - year - old boys (first to seventh grades) are obese. Nine to 26 per cent of the girls in the same brackets are too fat. It takes into account that cer tain amounts of subcutaneous fat for specified ages are considered acceptable. CORBIN’S measurements were made with calipers rather than scales. A fold of skin on the tri cep and back was measured on each child. Thickness indicates the amount of fat. Statistical charts show whether each child has more, less or average amounts. Estab lished criteria specify whether the student is fit, fat or obese. British and Canadian surveys show their children carry less fat. “It parallels physical fitness comparisons,” Corbin remarked. “Our kids are less fit and more fat.” His figures reveal Consolidated school children begin showing ex tra fat between ages seven and eight. The age 12 group has less fat than 11-year-old sixth graders. “THERE are several possible explanations,” the professor com mented. “These kids are getting- fat before they enter school phy sical education programs. At 12, College Station elementary grad ers get their first PE.” “Our kids are getting fatter as they grow older. Research shows fat people tend to get fatter. The majority of these kids aren’t go ing to trim down in their teenage years. It’s more proof against the ‘baby-fat’ theory which says, ‘Don’t worry, he’ll grow out of it.’ ” CORBIN SAID research results are “probably representative of the country as a whole.” “All of the Consolidated school system’s first through sixth grad ers were measured. They repre sented rural, urban, high, low and middle income families.” Findings may be an indictment of eating habits or diet, Corbin surmised, “or it may mean par ents should shut off the TV and see that their kids get more physi cal education earlier.” LAND IS AT AGGIELAND FLOWER AND GIFT SHOPPE North Gate ( \ PAEDNER You’ll Always Win The Showdown When You Get Your Duds Done At CAMPUS CLEANERS If you don't agree that business destroys individuality, maybe it's because you're an individual. There’s certain campus talk that claims individuality is dead in the business world. That big business is a big brother destroy ing initiative. But freedom of thought and action, when backed with reason and conviction’s cour age, will keep and nurture individuality whatever the scene: in the arts, the sciences, and in business. Scoffers to the contrary, the red corpus cles of individuality pay off. No mistake. Encouraging individuality rather than suppressing it is policy in a business like Western Electric—where we make and pro vide things Bell telephone companies need. Because communications are changing fast, these needs are great and diverse. Being involved with a system that helps keep people in touch, lets doctors send car diograms across country for quick analysis, helps transmit news instantly, is demand ing. Demanding of individuals. If your ambition is strong and your abili ties commensurate, you’ll never be truly happy with the status quo. You’ll seek ways to change it and—wonderful feeling!— some of them will work.
