So One Peanut Could Wreck Entire Diet Study By Minitte Taylor She takes off her shoes and steps on the scales. She moves the weights back and forth. "Oh, No!" she groans. "I've lost weight!" No, she's not a silly girl. She's one of eight human "guinea pigs" on an amino acid study. The loss in weight means more fo ', since subjects must stay about the same weight they were when they started the study. No Pizza More food doesn't mean more pizza, steak, or pop corn. In fact, Dr. Links wiler, head of the a m i n o acid study, said that even a peanut can wreck a whole study. Food itself means a doily lined tray with a large glass of amino acids, a con tainer of sugar, a custard cup of butter, mineral waf ers, extra wafers for some people, plastic packages of jelly (such as those often Lincoln Alum Wins Frat Title Edward Frerichs, of Lin coln, was presented the "Master Builders Award" by national Farm House Frater nity.

Carol Kucera Snacks, seen in restaurants), a beaker of cornmeal mush, 7-Up and fruit. These foods are required and all carefully measured. For anyone who never liked to exercise table manners, this is the perfect excuse. Every last crumb of food must be eaten. Amino acids glasses are rinsed with a washbottle three fees be fore guinea pigs return them to the kitchen. Sour Amino How do amino acids taste? They're sour. They're also the main complaint of subjects for the first few days. Subjects wonder at the remark that amino acids aren't bad at all are much better that wafers toward the end of Ihe study. Toward the end of the study, they begin to agree. The wafers look like cookies. They taste like them too. However, the waf ers are a bit more dry and rather flat. The sugar in the diet is carefully measured. The large quantities of butter are pure butter not mar garine or anything of t h e sort. However, the butter doesn't taste like butter. It's had the protein taken out. Some is Genuine The jelly, cornmeal mush, 7-up and fruit, of course, are real. Jelly and 7-Up are given to add calories. Corn meal mush isn't always a part of the meal. Along the fruit line, subjects are given orange juice for breakfast, applesauce for dinner, and either peaches or pears for supper. Besides the required foods, "guinea pigs" may eat a small and carefully measured amount of dill pickles and drink instant coffee. The dill pickles are some thing new: Subject Everett Crocker asked for s o m e thing sharp (such as mus tard or pickles) to kill the sweet taste left by the diet Wednesday, November 5, 1958 Phyll Bonner Martz Star Of Week Page 3 J 1 '1 Margaret Marshall Just Amino when no cornmeal is served. The pickles were carefully analyzed, and something new was added to "may have." Best Fed If the diet sounds unbal anced, it isn't. Guinea pigs have been told they're prob ably the best-fed girls in town nutrition-wise. Calci um pills and so forth supple ment the food. Amino acids form plenty of protein. Why have the diet any way? It's to find if threonine, an amino acid found in corn, can be used to help form complete pro tein as the synthetic threonine can. Why go on he diet?

Only One Student Charged for Fires Case Goes to Student Tribunal, Others Involved Being Sought Only one of the two men arrested in connection with fires in several Homecoming displays early Friday was a University student. Previous reports that both men are students are false, according to J. P. Colbert, dean of Student Affairs. To Tribunal The case of the student has been referred to the Student Tribunal and will probably come up for trial next week, Colbert said. Tribunal rules stipulate that a defendant be given at least five days notice before his trial. Fires were lighted some time between 4 and 5 a.m. Kick-off Dinner 2nd Part Of AW Stressed "To know, to care, to share". Thus Rev. Rex Knowles im parted what he termed a sec ond, most important part of AUF at the annual kick-off dinner Tuesday night. AUF is not just quotas and m o n e y-making events, he said. In this crisis year, we have the opportunity to tell every student on this cam pus what this second part is. Referring to the AUF drive, Dr. Knowles commented, "I hope you can find some very able assistence from the very fine people on the campus." He stressed the educational value of the sudden change of plans concerning the auc tion and independent drive. "All of you know that AUF must change its ways. In this crisis year we have an oppor tunity to change", he point ed out. An unexpected guest at the banquet was Mrs. Ruth Hanes Purkaple, program di rector of the Committee on Friendly Relations among Foreign Students. Mrs. Purkaple stressed tne importance of the World Uni versity Service. 'If we are to prove what American students can do about making their own stand in a world community, what better way than to give to this kind of fund," she stated. She compared the attitudes of some Soviet students to that of American students in regard to "voluntary work in building up the country." The Soviet students seemed to be more active, according to Mrs. Purkaple. Dr. Dudley Ashton, AUF advisor, noted that in the pat terns of living that are now being formed, AUF enters the pattern of sharing with oth ers. John Glynn, AUF presi dent, presided at the banquet. Friendship Dinner Tomorrow The International Friend ship Dinner will be tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. in tne union Ballroom. Between 250 and 300 Ameri cans and tneir toreign stu dent guests are expected to attend. Tickets are $1.75.

Five Involved Several eyewitnesses to the fires stated definitely that at least five men were involved in setting the blazes. Lincoln police have indi cated they will not press charges in the case. "Regardless of what the city or county does with it Student Affairs is referring the case to the Tribunal for alleged conduct detrimental to the University," Colbert said. Several students who were witnesses to the fires will be requested to appear before the Tribunal to testify, he added. Information Sought "We would certainly en courage anyone who could come in and give information to this office (Student Affairs) for transmittal to the Tribunal to do so," the dean said. Information is especially de sired on the other persons in volved in setting the blazes, Colbert said. Names of the persons al ready arrested have been withheld pending further ar rests.
