2- The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 8, 1993 Vegetarian students eat their greens and smile By JENNIFER SEARS FOR THE DAILY Mary Madill has meat dreams. The first-year student became a vegetarian this summer. She chased animal flesh from her menu, but that won't stop hot dogs from haunting her. "I feel sick about it," she said. But that doesn't mean she'll back down on her principles. Madill is one of a rapidly growing number of vegetarians popping up on college campuses across the country. They're replacing beans and tofu for ground beef and pork and forcing institutions like the University to ac- commodate their needs. As a result, residence hall cafete- rias have adopted garden burger cui- sine, vegetarian bars and spreads of beans, greens, stir fries and pasta. University nutritionists are also available to help students formulate diets and provide information.These options help students like Madill con- tinue leading non-carnivorous lives. "It's easy in the residence hall to eat vegetarian food because there is always fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. It's more difficult to not eat meat at a restaurant," said LSA junior Alexandra Hambright. While some students have been vegetarians their entire lives, others avoid meat for religious reasons. Also, a trend toward environmen- tal consciousness and animal rights has led some students to forsake the cows. "I just didn't believe that the eat- ing of animals was humane, and it wasn't that hard to become a vegetar- ian because I didn't like the taste of meat anyway," said Tracy Suykerbuyk, afirst-year LSA student. "It is also more healthy if you sustain your diet with beans and other products so you can get your protein and other vitamins." Nutritionist Paula Herzog agreed, adding that meat-free eating can be SafeWalk changes hours, leaves Angell Hall center The University of Michigan School of Music Sun.

"Some are under the impression that being a vegetarian is just giving up meat. But it is also trading other things for meat," Herzog said. "If you leave out the (nutrition provided by the) meat group, then you don't have a balanced diet." She suggested vegetarians replace meats and eggs with nuts, beans and seeds. The body needs nine essential amino acids. One serving of beef or poultry provides all nine of these re- quirements. Vegetarians, however, must take in these amino acids by complementing their proteins. If a vegetarian fails to meet the protein requirements they risk mal- nutrition and reduction in hormone production, Herzog said. "I do see some protein malnutrition because vegetarians haven't complemented their proteins," she added. WEEK Continued from page 1.

I've seen women who have so little estrogen that they have facial hair." But malnutrition is rare among people who plan ahead.In general, it's a healthy lifestyle that's gaining popularity. Many students are introduced to veggie diets while in college. And while some merely experiment with the lifestyle, others change eating habits for life. She attributes the popularity of experimenting with vegetarianism to peer pressure and weight conscious- ness, among other things. "An awful lot of the time students have friends who are vegetarians, or they are counting fat grams," she said. Herzog, who heads nutrition edu- cation for the University, said that while about 50 percent of students are vegetarians at the beginning of the school year, the figure decreases sub- stantially as the year continues. She estimates that only about 25 percent of any given residence hall remains eating green by the end of the year.

"We certainly appreciate the efforts being made by both fraternities." Walter Perkle, aSigmaNu pledge, said he is running because he thinks it's a worthwhile cause. "There's a general atmosphere of wanting to help the community," said Perkle, a first-year LSA student. "And it would be exciting to run the official game ball into the stadium." Sigma Nu member Sandy Sussman also stressed the value of philanthropic events such as this one. "One of the main things a frater- nity does besides academics and so- cial is philanthropy," said Sussman, an LSA senior. "It's a good opportu- nity for fraternities to give something back to the community." Sussman added the University Sigma Nu members will stay and watch the game before coming home, if they're still awake. By MICHELE HATTY DAILY STAFF REPORTER Students used to calling upon SafeWalk, the University's student run, after-dark walking service, may have to alter the usual routine - but only a little bit. This year, SafeWalk is going to operate a tad differently, cutting back its operating time by a half an hour and shifting its place of operation from a split between the UGLi lobby and the Angell Hall computing center to the UGLi exclusively. Nadir Ait-Laoussine, a SNREjun- ior and co-coordinator of SafeWalk, said the group reviewed their statistisics and found they were re- ceiving very few calls between 2:30 and 3 a.m. so they decided to cut back their stopping time from 3 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. in order to let their volun- teers get some rest. "We believe we'll still be able to provide the same quality of service,"Ait-Laoussine said. same quality of service.' - Nadir Ait-Laoussine student "Our hours used to be from 8 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. in the UGLi and then from 1:30 a.m. until 3 am in Angell Hall, but and we had never specified when last call was." Ait-Laoussine added that under the old hours, SafeWalk volunteers sometimes didn't get home until four in the morning. "We lost a lot of first- year walkers because of that," he said. "All of this is experimental be- cause we're also moving to the UGLi. We don't know if it'll de a positive or what. If we realize that there's a really high demand, we'll reconsider our decision of cutting down the hours." *h We believe we'll still be able to provide the CLINTON Continued from page 2. and horror" provoked by those im- ages but said the United States must nonetheless see the mission to its end. He asked: "Do we leave when the job gets tough--orwhen the jobisdone?" He said more than 1 million So- malis still were dependent on the re- lief operations for food and said those efforts would crumble if the United States withdrew its military forces. "Let us finish the work we set out to do," the president said. "Let us demonstrate to the world ... that when Americans take on a challenge they finish it right." Clinton closed his 10-minute ad- dress with a tribute to the troops in Somalia and the families of those killed. "My message to you is: Your country is grateful and so is the world, and so is the vast majority of the Somali people." Senate Republican leader Bob Dole applauded the president for making clear the mission would be directed by U.S. commanders. "It seems to me the president has spoken and he's now outlined the plan." Forces loyal to Aidid are blamed for a weekend street battle in which 13 Americans were killed, 77 wounded and at least one captured. Sen. Phil Gramm (R-Texas) said such a time frame "is totally unac- ceptable to me and I believe totally unacceptable to Congress." On Capitol Hill, there were scat- tered demands for the resignation of Defense Secretary Les Aspin. The White House said Clinton was stick- ing with the Pentagon chief. Clinton met with lawmakers jn the Roosevelt Room for two hours. "The majority of American casu- alties have been because of our obses- sion with seizing Aidid on the part o* the U.N.," Sen. Paul Simon (D-Ill;) told reporters later. "I think that's been a mistake." He said that a political resolution should be the goal. House SpeakerThomas Foley said, "I think that there is a sense that the mission became somewhat distorted and personalized and that it needs to be redirected." 0. ROBINSON Continued from page 1 mentor, to speak, and I am in sole appreciation for my experience with her and the African American stu- dents." Robinson, whose first University job was as a dental hygeine instructor, received her bachelors degree from the University and her masters in coun- seling/college student personnel from Eastern Michigan University. But she said working in MSS has been an education in itself. At MSS, Robinson has reveled in the opportunity to learn about the other minority groups with represen- tatives in MSS - Latino, Asian American and Native American - but also the many sub-groups within them. As an MSS representative, Robinson's primary professors have been her students. "The main thing ... I've learned is students are individuals - they're the same, but they're different. You SERVICE Continued from page 1 Still, the service does offer some flexibility. "We're willing to go just outside our designated service area - about a block," Croel added, noting that most sororities and fraternities on Hill St. are covered. "It works out for the cab rider and for the driver," he said. Croel said that the company will offer M-Ride, which began Monday, through November 15 as a trial pe- riod. "If we have success with it, we'll keep it going," he said. The company wants to limit the service to students, and asks students to show student identification cards upon being picked up. When calling for a ride, students should tell the dispatcher they want. the M-Ride service. But in order to make students aware of the service, mrnp i ni V liimnw rh iinowhere have to be aware of this all the time. They all have basic needs-it doesn't matter whatbackground they're from. ... They need to be accepted for who they are," she said. Of the many memorable experinces working in MSS has given Robinson, the event that sticks out most clearly in her mind occured in 1985 when she brought together Afri- can American student organization leaders for a Black student leader dialogue, she said. Many of the African American student organizations were working independently from each other, and the dialogue brought the leaders to- gether so they could meet and begin communication between groups. At the time, many of the organiza- tions were planning activities for the first Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday. They all had different ideas, and after the dialogue, they decided to collaborate and execute them together. As a result, the groups together had several activities spread out over a week culminating on the actual holi- day. "It was the most beautiful collec- tive effort I've seen among students in quite a while," she said. She hopes to pass on to her own daughter, a University of Minnesota graduate student, a sense of where she has come from and a sense of pride in her heritage. "(It's important) to never forgetor be ashamed of one's past. It's impor- tant to give as much information Ol where the child has come from, and let them know about the contributions (of their ancestors), and how we got here," she said. After retirement, Robinson's ma- jor goal is to travel to all of the parts of the contiguous United States that she has not been to, as well as Africa and the far East. She hopes to be remembered as* person "who was the same with ev- erybody who didn't change my demeanor for anyone with regard to where they are located on the social or economic structure ... as someone who appreciates the fact that every- one has something to offer, and takes the time to find out what it is," she said.
