Report shows
oil forecasts
are off base
United Press International
HOUSTON — A large portion of
an estimated $500 billion invested
worldwide on the assumption of ris
ing oil prices will become one of the
most expensive business errors ever,
a study of oil prices and forecasting
says.
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.

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.”

Certain methods of preparing
foods that use small amounts of fat
such as pan broiling, oven broiling
or grill cooking are ways of having a
good tasting^meal with a lower cal
orie level, Sweeten said.
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.
