whether Williams had robbed
Takao Hirata and whether Wat

deadly weapon against another

rioting, Denny was pulled from

intersection of Florence and
Normandie avenues and beaten
bloody.

other tapes for jurors, focusing
again and again on the sight of
Williams apparently doing a
dance over Denny's battered
body.
I The judge removed one pan
elist for lacking the common
sense to deliberate; another juror
left for personal problems. The
panel had to restart its talks
three times, and the final jury
talked only 21/2 days before re
turning verdicts. The final jury
had four blacks, four Hispanics,
two whites and two Asians.
A Williams family spokesman,
Don Jackson, said, "We are elated
with the fact that the jury came
back and did not find guilty on
he most serious charges. Damian

Health Tips
Fluid intake important part of exercising
By Cheryl Jo Slinkard
A.P. Beutel. Health Center
Sport drinks were developed primarily for use
during and after exercise. The composition of the
drinks varies, but most range from 5 to 10 percent
carbohydrate with a trace amount of electrolytes,
usually sodium and potassium.
The most important considerations in choosing
a sport drink include: (1) rapid delivery of the flu
id to the tissues, (2) adequate carbohydrate source
for the endurance exerciser, (3) a low level of elec
trolytes, (4) palatable and refreshing during exer
cise and (5) not related to any stomach upset.
Consider these seven major guidelines before
drinking a sports drink:
1. In sports of less than 60 minutes, a sports
drink is not necessary. However, the sports drink
is unlikely to hinder performance either. If an ath
lete refuses to drink water, a sports drink may be
come an advantage by encouraging voluntary fluid
intake.
2. Fluids should be consumed at a rate equiva
lent to heat loss. A fluid loss of just 2 percent can
impair circulatory and heat regulatory functions
and decrease performance. For replacement, one
pound of sweat equals two cups of fluid.
3. Fluids should be taken in early in an event to
prevent dehydration. By the time the athlete be
comes thirsty, the effects of dehydration can al
ready be seen. Thirst is not an adequate indicator
of water need.
4. Fluids should be consumed at frequent inter
vals. Drink a cup of water every 15 minutes. Sip
cups may not provide enough water.
5. Beverages should be kept cool, not cold, to be
refreshing and to aid in temperature regulation.
This will not cause cramping. Cool water is more
quickly absorbed.
6. If you choose a sports drink, select one that
tastes good and refreshing because a sports drink
does not serve its purpose unless it is used.
7. Concerns about fluid intake should not be
centered solely on competition day. Fluid replace
ment should be practiced.
Emphasize re-hydration during all exercise.
Weight lost during practice is mostly loss of fluids.
To avert effects of dehydration, weigh before and
after practice. For every pound lost during a work
out, drink two 8-oz. glasses of water. From prac
tice to practice, beginning weights should be al
most identical to prevent dehydration.
Fluid intake is an often overlooked area in prac
tice and training regimens, but can significantly al
ter performance. For more information about wa
ter intake, contact the Health Education Center,
Room 016, at Beutel Health Center.

Transformer
Continued from Page 1
Emergency generators have pro
vided some power to the buildings
for equipment that needs it.
One of the transformers will be
replaced immediately with a trans
former the University was going to
be put in another building, Sugg
said.
The Physical Plant has made an
emergency request for another
transformer and may have it re
placed by Monday night, he said.
"If there's one in Texas, we will get
it here."
Sugg said he doesn't think the
Physical Plant will ever know what
caused the outage.
"The good news is that it didn't
knock out everything else on the
West side," he said.
