Interim President Kenneth Dam asked representatives of the local chapters to show under standing, saying a series of cost cutting measures are already in place. Many of the nation's 1,400 United Way affiliates have with held dues from the national orga nization to protest the $463,000 annual salary and generous perks given former president William Aramony. Aramony resigned under pres sure over reports that he rode in chauffeured limousines and on the supersonic Concorde at Unit ed Way expense, and rewarded friends and associates with high- paying jobs. "It is extremely serious. We're living from payroll to payroll/' Dam told a national conference of United Way representatives. "I may have to preside over the dis mantling of United Wayofji ca." He said the national oil not asking for full duest right away, "but we'dliKeij consider at least partialpai^ of dues." The local chapters raise® and give grants to charils their territories.

Leaders of a conservative alliance gloated that it was the worst showing of a governing party since the current constitution was adopted in 1958. The al liance was the biggest single winner Sunday, making them the apparent favorites in next year's parliamen tary elections. Interior Ministry figures showed that with a 13 WASH ol advert fourth of the votes counted in regional as; races across France, the Socialists had won cent of the vote, below the 20 percent hoped party leaders.

Physicians counsel preg nant women to use caffeinated products only in moderation so their heart rate and blood pressure will be normal. This fact should be considered very carefully by anyone who is watching their heart rate and/or blood pressure. Caffeine is found in many products such as soft drinks, over- the-counter and prescription med ications, and many food products. Cola drinks are the most promi nent products that most of us know have a large amount of caf feine. It is generally recommended that individuals limit their con sumption to 200 mg/day, or less if you are caffeine sensitive. Caffeine can also mask feelings of tiredness and fatigue. It will not make up for declining perfor mance due to lack of rest and ex haustion. If you try to pull an all-nighter during final exam time with the help of caffeine, your memory may not be as good for your exam as it would be if you were rested. If you are reaching the 200 mg/day mark, you may want to cut back if you have observed any of the symptoms mentioned earli er.
