The industry’s current expecta tion that oil will be more valuable in the 1990s “could be undercut by new forces at work in energy and oil de mand, a basic structural revolution in the oil industry, and geopolitics,” says the study, “The Future of Oil Prices: The Perils of Prophecy.” The report, which was a project of Arthur Andersen & Co. and Cam bridge Energy Research Associates, resulted from a year’s study of oil forecasting done by banks, govern ments, and corporations. A “push towards consensus” char acterized oil price predictions de spite their uncertainty and revisions, the report says. The recession of the early 1980s, energy conservation and the switch away from oil has un dermined the expectations that led to the investment of about $500 bil lion around the world in 1980 and 1981, the study says. “After 15 years of turbulence, it is clear that the impact of unpredict able factors is so great that future oil prices cannot be ‘accurately’ pre dicted,” said Daniel Yergin, presi dent of Cambridge Energy Research Associates.

Simple steps reduce fat intake with tasty results By LISA PEDERSEN Reporter Lowering the percentage of fat in your diet can help you enjoy the hol idays with tasty foods and help you cut calories, a Texas A&M Agricul tural Extension Service nutritionist said Tuesday. “Some of the suggestions we are making now with some of our cli entele is to learn which foods have a higher amount of fat in them,” Mary Sweeten said. Sweeten recommends reducing butter, margarine, oil, mayonnaise, lard and salad dressing. For example, by using yogurt in stead of mayonnaise or sour cream Health you can cut down on calories, Sweeten said. Yogurt gives some of the characteristic flavors of mayon naise and sour cream, she said. “Also, in relationship to milk group foods, if you select skim milk products instead of whole milk you can save some calories there,” Sweeten said. When recipes call for onions, mushrooms or other vegetables, Sweeten suggests sauteing them in less fat and adding several table spoons of water or broth. Sweeten said another way to re duce the fat content of food is cut ting away all visible fat from meat and removing the skin from poultry. (continued from page 1) the Future Burn Center, created by David Richards, and the Birthing Development Center, created by Marti Sicola. Richards said his project was inspired by the fire which occurred in Mexico City. Richards proposed that the Future Burn Center would be located next to O’Hare Airport in Chicago because pf the airport’s ca pacity, and could be supported by a world oil tax. The premise of the center is to provide life-saving treat ment and tnerapy for victims who live in underdeveloped areas. “This way, the underdeveloped countries wouldn’t just be out of luck,” Richards said. Sicola’s Birthing Development Center, “New Beginnings,” serves every aspect of pregnancy except giving birth. The center would pro vide research laboratories, counsel ing, examining rooms and exercise rooms for expectant mothers and their families, Sicola said. “1 had read many things that said people were going to simpler meth ods,” she said. “This is a learning building. It will provide counseling for the whole family.” As the number of elderly people increases with the aging of the “baby boom generation,” health care facili ties must make major adaptions. Several students dealt with this prob lem in their projects. Students also designed nutrition centers, research centers, stress treatment centers, rehabilitation centers, hospices and clinics promot ing in-home health care with the aid of computers. Some students reno vated existing stuctures to concur with future health care needs. “I believe renovation will be of more importance than doing new buildings,” said Melissa Morris, who renovated an old hospital to create the Plastic Reconstructive Surgery center. Morris’ design provides for areas designed to function more smoothly, such as therapy centers on the building’s top floor and emer gency rooms on the first floor. One of the most unusual projects is the development of an Eye Hospi tal/Teaching Facility aboard a DC- 10. The flying hospital and a design air ‘ ' are two projects created for the Or- bis Institute by Dickie LaSalle. Inside the DC-10 are facilities for laser sur gery, micro surgery and general op- thalmological treatment, including teaching areas, a lecture hall, obser vation bays over the surgical areas and a computer system that links the DC-10 to hospitals. LaSalle said the Orbis Institute al ready has similar facilities aboard a DC-8, but wants to improve the fa cilities. While some students set few boundaries on their futuristic de signs, several students emphasized the fact that though technology will change rapidly in the next 16 years, the buildings which house that tech nology will change more slowly. “I think the technology is going to change — that’s already happening now, and it’s just going to progress more,” said Greg Woodard, creator of the Harris County Rehabilitation and Research Center. “But the building material isn’t going to change that much in 16 years.” Get Your Xerox Copies at Northgate Above Farmer’s Market Inexpensive, High-Quality Copies We Specialize In REPORTS and DISSERTATIONS Also: Self-service copying, offset printing, typing, re ductions and enlargements, binding, resume writ-" ing, editing, business cards, wedding invitations, sta tionery and many other s^p/ices.

Often substitutions won’t change the food flavor that much, but cooks should be careful in some type of recipes, Sweeten said. However, Sweeten recommends at least one teaspoon of margarine or some other type of fat for each meal. “The reason for this is it prevents you from getting extremely hungry throughout the day,” Sweeten said.
