Hursh, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council 'HEALTH FOODS" There are no legal limitations on who can call themselves nutritionists. nutri-tionists. This is an unfortunate fact and a cause, or at least a loophole through which a great deal of nutritional misinformation misinforma-tion is spread in this country. Some authors even have professional pro-fessional qualifications and document docu-ment their statements with references refer-ences from scientific journals. But in citing only those findings or interpretations that back up their convictions, some of these people are really purveyors of unreliable information. This is the opinion of Virginia Beal, M.P.H., Associate Professor of Nutrition at the University of Massachusetts, and I must say I share her opinion. Haven't Spoken Clearly Miss Beal, speaking at a recent food writers' conference, said the reason some pseudo-scientists have been able to flourish may be partly the fault of professional nutritionists.

We have let the deceptive advocates of fad diets and wild claims take center stage by our own default," she said. She told the food writers that they should challenge professional profession-al nutritionists to provide reliable reli-able information which they can then pass on to their readers. She feels that this is one way to limit the influence of food faddists. "Organic" foods, Miss Beal said, are those foods grown without with-out pesticides or chemical fertilizers ferti-lizers and not treated with preservatives, pre-servatives, hormones or antibiotics. antibi-otics. These foods are scarce and therefore costly. There is also no supervisory agency. Therefore, there is no way to know whether foods described as "organic" actually ac-tually are. This has been a big money-making scheme for many opportunists. Miss Beal said that there is no proof that "organic" foods are superior to those grown with chemicals. Consumers need to know what terms such as "health" foods and "natural" foods mean. Additives, processed foods and "megavitamins" also need to be clarified, according to Miss Beal. About 5 to 10 percent of the population, or about 10 to 20 million people, are involved in the "health" or "organic" movement, move-ment, Miss Beal stated. Most of the people involved are those in upper income groups with higher educations. The movement is especially prevalent on college campuses. "Natural" Foods Miss Beal said that the proponents propo-nents of "natural" foods (foods with a minimum of processing and refining) are really doing no more than what nutritionists have advocated for years. "It's whgn enthusiasm for "health" is carried one step further that fraudulent claims tend to make their appearance," Miss Beal added. ad-ded. She warned that no one food or combination of foods has a special health benefit and said that such claims not only bilk the public of money but may cause persons who need treatment treat-ment for disease to rely on fraudulent fraud-ulent methods until it is too late.

(U.S. Army photo by Sp5 Greg Grosvenor) President Dallin H. Oaks of Brigham Young University has notified all teacher training colleges and universities in Utah that BYU is joining them in cutting back on the number, of teachers it graduates. BYU is the largest producer of teachers in the state. The Utah State Board of Education last April moved to reduce an acute oversupply of elementary and secondary school teachers by decreeing the state's colleges and universities should reduce teacher production by an average of 21 percent by June 1974. "As we face a period of declining opportunities for elementary and secondary teachers, Brigham Young University is pleased to cooperate with the other teacher training institutions in Utah," President Oaks wrote in his letter to the other schools. "We have already instituted a far more stringent screening for potential majors in education although we feel that the record of placement and employer satisfaction with graduates of our teacher education programs has been an enviable one." President Oaks stated BYU also proposes to reduce the number of students preparing for teacher certification by between 20 and 25 percent by June 1974, "the same target date and the same level of reduction proposed for state institutions in the McCarrey Committee's report." He referred to a report on "Teacher Education Programs in the Utah System of Higher Education" prepared by a Question I was recently released from a VA hospital after 35 days for injuries suffered suf-fered in an auto accident. Am I eligible for the special payment veterans receive when they stay more than 21 days in a VA hospital? Answer Not unless the accident ac-cident was in line of active duty and the injury was recognized as service connected. Question I an a Vietnam veteran interested in training under the GI BUI, but am not sure what courses I should take Can VA assist me? Answer Yes. If you are eligible for training under the GI Bill, you may receive vocational counseling, without cost, at your nearest VA office. committee headed by Leon R. McCarrey, director of the Academic Affairs Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education. At April meeting of the Utah State Board of Education, George C Hatch, chairman of the Curriculum and Rules Committee, said the National Education Association estimates the supply of teachers is double the demand, adding that such a surplus will exist for the next ten years. On the graduate level, he said, Utah's public teacher training institutions are producing five times more teachers than the state's 40 school districts can absorb. He noted that public school enrollment has been leveling off for several years and except for teacher turnover there are no new jobs being generated in the state's public schools.
