Vegetarian dieting
but protein levels :
By LISA MOHN
Guest Writer
People choose to be vegetarians
for a variety of reasons, health being
only one of them.
However, the information here
will focus on the health-related
issues. A vegetarian diet may be
very healthy.
On the benefits side, vegetarian
diets usually are low in fat and
high in fiber, conforming to the recommendations
of the American
Cancer Society, American Heart
Association and various other
widely-accepted dietary guidelines
for Americans. Few vegetarians
are overweight, another problem
plaguing the health of many adults
in our country.
However, the vegetarian diet is
not completely rosy. The problems
associated with a vegetarian diet
arc related to the care one gives to f
eating healthily and the degree of
strictness one keeps in staying on
the diet. A person who eats absolutely
no animal products is going
to have a harder time getting the en<
required nutrients than one who ve,
eats eggs, dairy products and even mc
fish occassionally. yo
ire
The most common deficiency po
associated with vegetarianism is wi
the lack of complete protein, iron an
and Vitamin B-12 vegetables sir
supply to the body. The following fo<
guidelines provide recommenda- wi
lions on how to get the most from bo
your vegetarian diet: ire
Fttf ;i varietv of foods. Al
though most carnivores assume Vi
there's nothing for a vegetarian to to
cat, there are literally hundreds of Di
choices with fruits, vegetables, we
grains, cereals and legumes. Those fo<
eating a wide variety of foods will tia
have the greatest chance of con- av
suming all necessary nutrients. no
Combine certain foods for an
complete protein. While only ve
foods from the animal sources con- ch
tain complete proteins, one can get lai
complete proteins by combining ne
certain foods. A vegetarian should Th
learn about complementary pro- dis
teins and how to use them to plan lin
meals. For more information, read pa
up on the subject. Debbie Board- ha
ley, Open Door graduate assistant sel
(and registered dietitian), recom- be
mends "Diet for a Small Planet"
by Francis Moore Lappe, as an in- Lis
expensive and informative book on Op
the subject. Pn

'Apache'

Editor in Chief
Imagine having the power I

one with a wave of your arn
And imagine having the power I
utter a word and have that dc
lie still to be petted.
What is the mysterious lin
between a trained dog and i
master ? a link that uses dee
instincts in an animal ? to a
tack, to protect, to hnd, and a n;
tural instinct in man, to control.
It's all about obedience ar
patience, said Richard Scott, wl

Scott, who works for the US
Police Department, said his do
Apache, helps in many areas i
police work, from apprehendir
a suspect to patrolling to findir
narcotics or missing evidence.
"I could take a small key ar
throw it into a field of 12-inc
high grass and he'll find it
Scott said. "He just smells f<
something different, that humz
scent."
But how do you get a dog i
do that, to understand what yc
want and do it?
"Time and patience," Sco
said. "And you can't be hard c
a dog or beat it."
Typically a trainer spends tv
hours a day during the first tv
years, and six to eight hours
week from then on, Scott said.
Like people, dogs are easier

started training Apache when tl
puppy was eight weeks old. "V
start with obedience early," 1
said.
In the case of searching f

,g the dog worked up, Scott said.
Jim Miles, a USC police ofk
ficer who works with Scott in apts
prehension demonstrations, said
he trusts the link between Scott
t- and Apache.
i- "That's part of the reason I'm
not so afraid when he's attacking
1(j because I know the lieutenant's
10 there, Miles said. It s like your
g adrenaline tops out when you're
waiting for him to hit."
Communication is the crucial
ie element in the mental link between
dog and master.
q "I do all my commands in
g German," Scott said. The reason,
so no one else can control Apajg
che, he added.
^ But there are silent commands,
. too. "If I don't want to make any
noise I can command him by
hand and I don't have to say a
word," Scott said.
3r Though the mechanics of
training a well-disciplined dog
are important, there is another
equally important element that is
not rooted in ability or discipline.
"I just love dogs," Scott said.
"I love the way they perform and
how they care for their owners."
He said having an affection for
/0 animals makes up half the link.
/o
Scott has been working with
a dogs for nearly 30 years. In the
early '60s he had a sled team of
to Siberian huskies. Before Apache,
)tt he trained two rottweilers. Scott
he said he's in the process of trainee
ing an 18-week-old black Gerhe
man Shepherd for bomb
detection.
or The training can pay off in
to more ways than one. In June,
