Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 19, 1988 Speaker links drinking, fitness BY MICAH SCHMIT If you have to take an important exam or participate in an athletic competition, don't go drinking two or even three nights before, warns Kelly Lamb, health promotion spe- cialist at University Health Services. Speaking yesterday afternoon on "Alcohol and Fitness" as part of na- tional Alcohol Awareness Week, Lamb told a sparse crowd that alco- hol has an effect which lingers more than 48 hours. Lamb said many students are aware of the irritability, hunger, aches and pains, headaches, dehydra- tion, and decreased judgment which occur 12 to 24 hours after alcohol ingestion. But suprisingly the chemical ef- fects of alcohol linger beyond 48 hours. "The effects, including decreased alertness, impaired coordination, and muscle weakness are still apparent 72 hours after drinking," Lamb said. She also said athletes need to be especially concerned. "Alcohol metabolism is preferred over glucose by the liver. This leads to low blood sugar as well as a buildup of lactic acid in the mus- cles," she said. Fatigue, which stems from lactic acid buildup - a negative by-product of exercise - impairs athletes' abil- ity to perform at their peak. Scott Grove, an LSA junior, said drinking the night before affects his physical performance during the day. "When I get really drunk it makes it hard to concentrate, makes you mind- dead.... The next day I can't study, it's like being on a partial buzz." Lamb said: -drinking after eating high carbo- hydrate or fatty foods decreases the effect of alcohol; -oral contraceptives help speed the rate at which alcohol is removed from the body; -having a drink or two a day does not decrease the risk of heart attack; -alcoholic beverages are generally highly caloric - about 80 calories for shots and light beers and over 200 calories for mixed drinks; and, -cholesterol levels rise because fat metabolism is decreased due to the presence of alcohol. Today, Bush will campaign in the state. He will speak to students at the D u k a k lsUniversity of Michigan-Dearborn in Cortinued from Page 1 "It was a good speech. He meets the issues. From Bush, it's just rhe- toric," said Peter Fanos of Flint. Even though Dukakis trails in the polls, Fanos expressed confidence that Dukakis will "do a lot better than people think." the morning. In the afternoon, the vice president will appear before students with former President Gerald Ford at Royal Oak Kimball High School and will then travel to Saginaw for a rally at a local high school. -Staff writer Miguel tributed to this report. Cruz con- Continued from Page 1 the major issue," Anderson said. "And I expect numerous concerns and objections to be raised," Committee members said discussion on that issue could begin next Tuesday, but committee chair Henry Griffin, a chemistry professor, said they will probably not reach a conclusion next week. "There's not a clear consensus on how we'll go on that issue," Griffin said. "We are very favorable to courses of this type, but there is some feeling... that requiring this specific course might not be fair to people who have already proposed courses of this type." The students and faculty who proposed the course maintain, however, that specifically requiring all LSA students to elect the class in their first two years is integral to their proposal - and to the University's commitment to fighting racism on campus. All LSA curriculum additions or changes must be approved by the LSA curriculum and executive committees before going to an LSA faculty vote. ICornerstone CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP (an interdenominational campus fellowship) Students Dedicated to Knowing and Communicating Jesus Christ THE UNDERGRADUATE PSYCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY is having its FALL MASS MEETING Wednesday Oct. 19 West Lounge, South Quad 7:00p.m. ALL INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS PLEASE ATTEND OLD MEMBERS, THIS MEETING IS MANDATORY Weekly Meetings: Thursdays: 7:00 pm 219 Angell Hall IN BRIEF. Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports ABC says U.S. rejected arms for hostages deal last year WASHINGTON - ABC News reported last night that Iran, desperate for weapons, secretly offered the U.S. government the freedom of four of the nine American hostages held in Lebanon in exchange for 16 U.S.- built jet fighters in Chile's arsenal. According to ABC, the offer came through intermediaries and set off "alarm bells" at the State Department. Secretary of State George P. Shultz "emphatically said no" and the $170 million deal was turned down. In a complicated scheme that began last December, ABC said, Iran tried to arrange for Israel to deliver 16 Chilean owned F5 jet fighters deliver in sections to Thailand. From there, they were to be sent to Iran. According to the ABC story, the proposed swap had the endorsement of Hashemi Fafsanjani, speaker of the Iranian parliament, and it involved arms dealers and intermediaries in Chile, Israel, and Argentina. 'Rust Belt' economy picks up WASHINGTON - Income growth in the "Rust Belt" manufacturing states is staging a comeback after lagging behind the national average for most of the 1980s, the government said yesterday. The administration has pointed with pride to the six-year economic recovery, the longest during peacetime since the Civil War. However, critics say the nation's heartland has not shared in the expansion. In a report on non-farm personal income, the Commerce Department said, in general, states bordering the Pacific and Atlantic coasts continue to have better income growth than the states in between, but the gap in the growth rates is narrowing. Growth in the Great Lakes region, which lagged behind during the years of the overvalued dollar and exploding trade deficit, was 7.7 percent in the 12 months ending in June compared with 6.2 percent earlier in the decade. Missile destruction begins TUCSON, Arizona - Eleven Soviet inspectors watched Tuesday as U.S. military personnel using power saws began the historic destruction of Air Force cruise missiles under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. Led by Army Major Gen. Vladimir Medvedev, the Soviets arrived at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base to watch 41 ground-launched cruise missiles, 41 protective canisters for the mobile weapons and seven transporter erector launchers be cut in half over the next few days. Nuclear warheads, fuel and guidance-related equipment have been removed from each weapon, and the warheads have been returned to the Department of Energy, which stores American nuclear weapons, said Capt. Kendell Pease, an OSIA spokesman. A total of 443 intermediate-range cruise missiles deployed in Great Britain and Europe are scheduled for destruction, all within the first three years of the treaty. Allais wins Nobel prize STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Maurice Allais, a prolific theorist whose ideas on balancing supply and demand helped rebuild the French economy after World War II, won the Nobel Prize for economics yesterday. Allais became mentor to a generation of post-war economists and to all the people who were in charge of the biggest enterprises and the state planning apparatus. He developed formulas to enable large enterprises, particularly public ones, to keep an economy in balance by regulating prices and allocating their resources. According to the citation, Allais was honored "for his pioneering contributions to the theory of markets and efficient utilization of resources." After the award was announced, the 77-year old economist said he had given up hope of ever winning the prize. "I've been mentioned so many times before. I just didn't think I would get it." EXTRAS Alaskan ad agency flips photo of Mt. McKinley JUNEAU, Alaska - Those familiar with Mount McKinley may have noticed something amiss about the photograph of North America's highest peak that graces the cover of Alaska'a latest tourist brochure. The mountain is backward, a deliberate move by the advertising agency that created 700,000 brochures for the state. "We think the way it came out was the state's prettiest cover ever. Only two or three people have noticed the switch without first being told of it," said Rod Bradley of Bradley Advertising in Anchorage. The reversal caught the attention of the Alaska Visitors Association, which awarded Bradley Advertising, the state tourism department and the Alaska Tourism Marketing Council its Oosik Award for the biggest tourism-related mistake of the year at its annual convention in Sitka last weekend. Oosik refers to part of the anatomy of the male walrus.
