Health Tips
Ways to shed pounds have become hot topics in soci
ety. 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.

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

can get would

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.'
