One quarter to one third of Americans are overweight, and as many as 40 percent of women and 24 percent of men are trying to lose weight. People search for easy, quick weight-loss gimmicks. With all the weight-loss programs and “diet aids,” de termining which are valid may be difficult. A person must decide if losing weight is the right de cision before starting a diet. Height and weight charts provide guides in determining a desirable body weight based on height and frame size. A.P Beutel Health Center offers a six-week weightcon- trol series beginning Oct. 13., on Mondays at 4 p.m. in Room 16 of the health center. Although the series is free, students must reserve spaces by calling 845-1341. Contributed by Dr. Jane Cohen of the A.P. Beutel Health Center. Festival stresses Hispanic unity By Colleen Kavanagh Staff writer Dog Continued from Page 1 Lara said the Kirschnev apparatus op eration must be done in the next seven to 10 days to ensure improved re covery. Otherwise, Mar lin’s recovery may take up to 12 weeks. “The bone is set as best as it can be right “Anything that we can get would help.” KRISTI ELL0R TECHNICIAN KINGDOM ANIMAL HOSPITAL now,” Lara said. “We don’t know if it will heal. If we can get help in the next week, it will be the best.” Lara said the opera tion may cost $500, and extended care could cost as much. “At this point, we are looking for someone to care for him,” she said. “He is doing great right now. He is eating despite his jaw surgery. When he came to us, his hair was matted and [he was] mal nourished. He will prob ably be neutered within the next week when I have to sedate him to change his splint.” Kristi Ellor, a techni cian at the Kingdom Ani mal Hospital, said dona tions can be made to help with expenses for the sec ond surgery or for the care Marlin already has received. “Anything that we can get would help,” Ellor said. “Marlin is a pure bred dog.” Lara said the hospital has contacted the Great Pyrenees Association for financial assistance for the second operation. “I raise and breed dogs,” Lara said. “Most rescue organizations are willing to help.” Roubion, who paid $150 to have the dog cared for and treated at a clinic in Waco, said he en courages students to help Marlin. “It’s obvious that Dr. Lara’s office has taken good care of him and they are working on finding a good home for him,” Roubion said. “If there is anybody out there with a good heart who is willing to help him out financially or willing to provide a good home for Marlin, that would be great.” For information about helping Marlin, contact the Kingdom Animal Hospital at (409) 823- 5495. Hispanic Texas A&M students continued to cel ebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at the Caliente Fes tival Saturday. The Hispanic Business Student Association spon sored the festival, which was held in front of the Academic Building. Other Hispanic organi zations assisted HBSA with Caliente Festival. Enter tainment was provided by a mariachi band, break dancers, Ballet Folklorico Celestial and the Aggie Wranglers. The festival concluded with a Mr. Hispanic Her itage Month pageant orga nized by the Kappa Delta Chi sorority. Chris Wallingsford, HBSA member in charge of organizing the festival and a junior business analysis major, said almost all the Hispanic organizations at A&M participated. “Caliente is a social thing to bring people to gether and increase His panic awareness around campus,” he said. “Hispan ic organizations on cam pus have different cultures, and Caliente brings us to gether to inform others about our cultures.” J I e l Daniel Volk, president of HBSA and a senior ac counting major, said turnout this year is the i biggest he has seen. “We thought the foot ball game and cut would interfere with Caliente,” he said. “But I think moving Caliente in front of the Aca- O demic building helped in- f~\ crease participation.” . ill Teresa Gomez, a Kappa ^ Delta Chi member and a se nior industrial distribution major, said the contestants were judged in categories such as best-dressed, con geniality, community ser vice and academics. Jose Sanchez, a senior marketing major, repre sented Sisters For Cultural Awareness and won Hispanic Heritage Month "It feels good to be cho sen because people appre ciate what I am trying to j' accomplish here at Texas 1 ' A&M as a Hispanic stu dent,” he said. Sanchez said Caliente shows unity among His panic organizations growing. “All of these groups gare a lot of time and energyto come out and celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, he said. “It gave everyone in the different organize tions the chance to get to know each other better.'
