NUTRITION AND FITNESS SEMINAR
If you are trying to change your body, you should see a difference
every four weeks. If you don’t, more than likely you are spending
wasted hours exercising and/or dieting. Whether you work in an office
or are a full time athlete, everyone reaches a plateau when trying to
lose fat or gain muscle, or both.
So what do you do?
There is only one alternative and that is to create a healthy lifestyle
which will enable you to obtain your ultimate fitness objective.
Neal Spruce, world renowned Nutrition Expert will arrive from Los
Angeles to conduct the seminar at Gold's Gym in College Station on
Thursday, October 15. Neal has appeared on several talk shows
including Jenny Jones and Good Morning America. He has written
articles for virtually every fitness magazine (including Shape, Flex, and
Muscle and Fitness) and has lectured all over the world. Neal currently
works with movie and T.V. celebrities, top fashion models, professional
athletes, and pro bodybuilders.
ABOUT THE SEMINAR

1. How the human body works in response to nutrition and exercise.
2. How to gain muscle while losing body fat.
3. How to lose weight without rebounding.
4. Reasons why conventional diets fail.
Every workout should make a difference. However, a certain
knowledge of nutrition and exercise is required for each individual to be
able to continually make the desired alterations in appearance and
body composition.
Each person is unique in regards to age, weight, height, sex, activity
level, body composition (% fat, % muscle), rate of metabolism and rate
of oxidation. At the seminar you will receive all of the information that

State orders Texas Water Commissioi
to prevent MERCO sludge dumping
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — The state attorney
general told the Texas Water
Commission Tuesday to immedi
ately revoke the permission it
gave a company to spread New
York City sludge on a West Texas
ranch.
The demand comes a week af
ter the water commission imposed
a 75-day moratorium on all new
and pending applications of
sludge, a by-product from waste
water treatment plants.
MERCO Joint Venture is
spreading the sludge in West
Texas and the water commission
approved the spreading. The
sludge does not meet all New
York standards.
Attorney Geheral Dan Morales
said in a news release that state
regulations prohibit the spreading
of out-of-state sewage sludge in
Texas if the sludge does not meet
the more stringent requirements
of the two states involved.
"We have conducted an inde
pendent review of the MERCO
project and determined that the
revocation of its permit is clearly
warranted and we advise the
commission to do so," Morales
said.
Ed Clark, water commission
spokesman, said the agency will
consider Morales' request.
"The Texas Water Commission
is absolutely determined to ensure
this project is fiot a problem for
the environment and never threat
ens the public," Clark said. "If we
ever discovered we had issued a
registration or any other approval
and it was not in accordance with
the law and didn't meet the letter
of the law then we woul
solutelv take action."

American, Frenchman win
Nobel Prize for inventions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STOCKHOLM, Sweden-
An American won the Nobel
Prize in chemistry Wednesday
for theories explaining such
phenomena as how plants store
energy from light, while a
Frenchman won the physics
award for an invention allow
ing a closer look into the heart
of matter.
Rudolph A. Marcus, 69, of
the California Institute of Tech
nology — a Canadian-born nat
uralized American — was hon
ored for work involving the
transfer of electrons between
molecules.
Georges Charpak, a Polish-
born Frenchman, was cited for
his development of elementary
particle detectors.
Both discoveries were made
in the 1960s and are used by re
searchers worldwide.
Charpak, 68, suspected a
prank when the Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences called to
say he had won the $1.2 million
prize.
Not until an academy mem
ber who had met Charpak took
the phone and confirmed the
prize did he believe it.
Charpak (pronounced Shahr-
PUCK) told The Associated
Press he had not expected to
win the Nobel Prize for "a little
thing" he invented 24 years
ago.
Since 1959 he has worked at
CERN, the European Laborato
ry for Particle Physics, near
Geneva, Switzerland.
His invention, the multiwire
proportional chamber, "revolu
tionized the way to register ele
mentary particle reactions" al
lowing researchers to see in
much more detail the behavior
of the smallest particles of mat
ter, academy member Per Carl
son said.
The detector also made it
possible to monitor reactions on
computer screens and track
down single particle trajectories
within a pattern of a billion re
actions.
Earlier equipment only reg
istered the occurrence of parti
cle reactions without revealing
where they happened.
Carlson said Charpak's in
vention opened the door to
some of the inner secrets of
matter.
"Today practically every ex
periment in particle physics
uses some type of track detector
that has been developed from
Charpak's original invention,"
the academy said.

Germany lowers
on incoming refugees
Coalition to propose immigration la
(
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BONN, Germany— In a move
to stem violence and outcry over a
heavy influx of immigrants, lead
ers of Chancellor Helmut Kohl's
three-party coalition government
agreed Tuesday to change the
constitution to limit the number
of refugees.
Under a proposal to be intro
duced in Parliament on Thursday,
the coalition also said the country
must consider adopting its first
immigration law. Germany is bur
dened with supporting hundreds
of thousands who fled ex-Yu
goslav republics, the former Sovi
et bloc and the Third World while
it struggles to revamp post-Com-
munist eastern Germany.
"We want Germany to remain
a foreigner-friendly country," the
coalition said in obvious reference
to the rise in right-wing attacks on
foreigners that have left over a
dozen people dead since unifica
tion two years ago.
The coalition promised to re
spect international conventions on
accepting political refugees, but
proposed new regulations naming
countries where political persecu
tion would no longer be consid
ered a threat, such as Poland and
Romania.
The plan also effectively n

U-Act creates mock university at retrea
Prc
By TANYA WILLIAMS
sity.
Reporter of THE BATTALION
Over the past weekend, 41 student leaders
enrolled, took classes and earned their degrees
from a university other than Texas A&M. At
U-ACT University, students learned a lesson
in diversity.
U-ACT, which stands for University
Awareness for Cultural Togetherness, con
ducted its third annual student leader retreat
at Brazos Valley Camp in Snook, Texas.
The camp, which was transformed by the
10 member U-ACT core committee into a ficti
tious university, mirrored any university in
enrollment statistics.
Color groups, representing four different
cultures and their hierarchical levels in society
and on college campuses, were given different
characteristics by the staff.
Each retreat participant was given a color,
the descriptions of their culture, and the free
dom to develop any extra characteristics that
the color group wanted.
What each group did not realize was that
other color groups, or cultures, were given
stereotypes and misconceptions, much like the
ones held today against many cultures.
These stereotypes caused dissension when
later that evening, the cultures combined to
create student organizations at U-ACT Univer-
Eventually, the cultures found that they
must work together to get any work done in
their organizations.
The preconceived notions held against any
group were completely, in most cases, un
rounded.
This activity, created by the U-ACT staff,
enlightened many participants about racism
and stereotyping in a university and in organi
zations.
"The purpose of the exercise was to put
many in the position of experiencing many as
pects of racism on a university setting," said
Erin Taylor, a senior political science major
and U-ACT core committee member. "It forced
people to look at themselves and reevaluate
their beliefs, and realize we're all victims and
perpetrators of several forms of discrimina
tion."
"The retreat helped me realize that there are
a lot of diversity issues that aren't addressed
which we overlook in our organization," said
Aimee Barefoot, a senior accounting major and
member of the Class of '93 Council. "It's given
me a chance to plan some goals for our organi
zation and hopefully make a difference.
"It was needed because some people don't
realize that there are problems with their orga
nizations, I never would have thought that
Class Council could be different," Barefoot
added. "But, we realized some problems4
we have and we're going to try to chat!
them."
Edward Munoz, Jr., who is a memte
S.T.E.P. O.N.E. (Starting to EliminatePrejii^
Offering New Experiences) which promo 1 -
racial understanding, also felt the retreat•
fered an understanding of different cultures
"I believe it was an awakening to quit
few people, and that's something we neei
Munoz said. "The winds of change are up:
us. Multiculturalism is the way of thefutuie
"I learned to start seeing people witte
open mind, and not colorwise; to beute*
standing and to be patient and to listen top
pies views," said Connie Smith, a senior®
ing construction major.
The retreat also offered networking opp
tunities for student leaders. Recently-elty
freshman class president, Todd Rice,
offered him the chance to interact
student leaders.
"As a freshman, I haven't gotten a chartf
interact with a lot other people," Ricesai
"This retreat weekend allowed metheclw 1
to understand other organizations on camp
and interact with people of other culture
understand them."
