Doctor gives healthy tips on Easter treats Editor's Note: Dr. Jane Cohen is the health education coordinator and nutrition specialist at the A.P. Beutel Health Center. By Jane Cohen Guest to The Battalion A traditional Easter basket might have more than 2,000 cal ories and 100 grams of fat. If you're planning a basket for someone, conside alternatives. ler some healthy "Peter Cottontails" baskets — full of decorated eggs, candy bunnies and other goodies — might be too many calories for people who are watching their weight. A basket with a creme-filled egg, milk chocolate rabbit, jelly beans, peanut butter-filled eggs and malted milk eggs can add up to almost 3,000 calories. Consider a healthier basket with nutritious foods and fun treats. Use raisins, snack coo kies, boiled eggs, string cheese. jelly beans, grapes, pretzels and covered peanuts for an Easter basket. Some candy can be included, but choose wisely. Wise food choices allow for some variety in your foods. Variety and modera tion are ways to keep some of the tradition, but seek a balance of fewer calories and fat for a healthier diet if you're watching your weight. Add stuffed rabbits, animals or other toys to round out the basket. J}J A R T ; • s • *; *.% ■-*> Wvv-.-v jMS€ Visual Arts is sponsoring its 52inl annual student art competition on April 8 9 1991.

Japan Student wins trip in Japanese-speech contest By Katherine Coffey The Battalion After winning second place in the Japanese Speech Contest held in Austin last month, one Texas A&M student is planning the free trip to Japan she was awarded. Sylvia Morrison, a sophmore general studies major taking Jap anese courses, won a free round- trip air fare to Homestay, Japan. The contest was in cooperation with the University of Texas Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, the Consul Gen eral of Japan and the Japanese Foundation. Ilisa Tjakra and Scott Esserine, both senior speech communica tions majors and taking Japanese courses, also participated in the contest with 80 other students from universities in Texas and Oklahoma. "Tm proud because these stu dents are very motivated and eager to learn Japanese," said Zaidi Shamshad, an assistant lecturer of the Department of Modern and Classical languages. Zaidi, who attended the con ference with the students, said Morrison competed in the sec ond level speech contest, ages 18 and older. Zaidi said the annual contest consists of each participant speaking between three to four minutes in Japanese about a cho sen topic. This year the topic was "Why Japan's and the United States' relationship is important." "Morrison did well, and the judge said she should of won first place but that she spoke a little less than the required three minutes so she placed second," Zaidi said. "It was a big competition with over 30 students, and she did very well," Zaidi said. "I always encourage my stu dents to do these competitions because this way they can show their talents and abilities," she said. Zaidi said the Japanese study program at A&M is getting larger, and presently has 80 stu dents studying the two-year lan guage course. Dr. Victor Arizpe, interim head of the Modern and Classi cal languages Department, said students cannot yet major or mi nor in Japanese, but the depart ment is implementing a new program. "The Japanese program is un der development and has great prospects as we establish inter disciplinary programs such as with the school of business," Arizpe said. Starting Sept. 1, the depart- See Student/Page 12 Budget falls $4.6 billion short Legislators: services will suffer AUSTIN (AP) — A House committee late Wednesday ap proved a proposed 1992-93 bud get that would fall $4.6 billion short of funding current state services, with lawmakers saying the public should know that taxes are necessary to provide programs. "It means criminals on the streets, it means uneducated children, it means mentally ill walking the streets," said Rep. Ric Williamson, D-Weatherford, vice-chairman of the House Ap propriation^ Commi ttee. "But if that's the state of Texas we want, that's the state of Texas we're buying, that's the state of Texas we're paying for, that's the state of Texas we're going to get," Williamson said. The $52.3 billion budget would stay within the state's projected revenue and would re quire no new taxes, lawmakers said. However, legislators said, it also would cost the state about $4 billion in lost federal matching funds. Thus, the total shortfall below current spending would be about $8.5 billion. "That's what the people want. All my cards and letters say no new taxes," said Rep. Jim Rudd, D-Brownfield, chairman of the tax-writing committee. "I would hope the people of Texas can truly see ... the truth of what this can do. But if they don't, they don't understandf, then I don't know what will hap pen," he said. The committee's vote was only the first step in a lengthy budget writing process.
