Students feel free to make deci
sions and choices for themselve
once they tire in college. As trivia
as it seems, a proper diet is one c
these very important decisions.
September is Cholestero
Education Month, intended to hel
Americans become aware of th
health risk high cholesterol level
can be.
Along with high blood pressur
and cigarette smoking, a high bkx>
cholesterol level is one of the thre
major modifiable risk factors fo
heart disease ? the leading caus
of death in adults.
Another important factor i
Heredity. Any person witn a nistor
of heart disease or high cholesterc
should get themselves tested regu
larly.
Cholesterol is carried through th
body by lipoproteins. There are tw
types: high density lipoprotein
(HDLs) and low density lipopro
teins (LDLs).
HDLs are good because the
take cholestrol from the blood ani
carry it to the liver. The cholesterc
is then eliminated from the liver.
The more HDLs you have, th
better off you are. HDL levels ca
be raised with increased exercise.
LDLs, however, carry choles
terol straight to the body's cell
and artery walls.
One in every four college stu
dents has high cholesterol level?

And they're off!
The cast of Workshop Theater"
"Lend Me a Tenor" gallops suces:
fully through Ken Ludwig's mat
eap farce set in Ohio in the 1930s.
In "Tenor," playwright Ludwi
reworks the age-old lov? stor
premise of boy gels girl, boy lost
girl, boy gets girl, but in this ca.^
tenor has no voice, tenor borrow
voice, tenor gets voice and assurt
a happy ending.
With 20 years as a USC theatt
professor, director Jim Patterso
can direct a farce when he set
one.
This aerobic cast leaps ta
couches in a single bound, runs ;
break-neck speed through slarr
ming doors and flies through th
air with the greatest of ease.
This witty play is loaded widi a
the elements that make a farce irr<
sistable.
Along with rollicking action at
a rich asortment of comedic cha
id to control
olesterol intake
~ have hean disease associated wi
high levels of LDLs. But hean di
ease is a disease of lifestyle.
You can change it.
I So what do you do if you ha1
high cholesterol and want to low
your percentage of LDLs? Look
your eating habits,
s The biggest problem college st
tl dents face is eating ipo much f<
if food. Fast food appeals to studen
because it is cheap, easy and last
il good.
p Avoiding high-fat foods, such
e gravies, sauces, butter and dies
s ings, as well as cake, pie, cooki
and doughnuts can help to low
e cholesterol.
d Does this sound impossible? It
e easier than it seems. Lean cuts
>r skinless, trimmed meat, skim mil
e whole wheat breads, vegetable
fruits and low fat desserts are tl
s building blocks of a healthier diet

According to sophomore Shawn

Service Project Award out of six
states at die Regional APO conference.
The service consists of about 60
people who work separate shifts as
dispatchers, drivers and people to
accompany the drivers for safety
and support.
"By the charter, everyone (in the
fraternity) must serve a minimal
amount of escort time," said the
chairman of APO, Kevin Dismuke.
APO members must be cleared
by the Highway Department. The
