United Way acting president asks local chapters for understam
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Unit
ed Way of America's acting presi
dent warned Sunday the national
organization may be dismantled
unless affiliates forward the dues
they withheld to protest his prede
cessor's lavish spending.
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. Theycusto
send 1 percent of funds thetj
to the national office in Aisj

PARIS (AP) — President Francois Mitterrand's
Socialists captured less than 20 percent of the vote in
regional elections Sunday as disillusioned voters
shifted away from mainstream parties toward ex
treme right and ecology movements, according to
partial results.
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

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.
The results confirmed the Socialists' steepdiracing car

also been researched very thor
oughly. 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
