Graham and Wright took more than 1,000 letters from students to the delegation. "They were impressed with (the letters)," Wright said. He estimated that Congress hasn't received this many student letters on any other issues this year. One letter said: "I believe there is no other location on campus which provides a more ideal envi- ronment and natural setting for student housing (and an Olympic Village) than Fort Douglas. Furthermore, there is no other function that is as compatible and appropriate for the Fort as student housing."

Over 200 schools in Utah will arm HMJGEn V themselves with weapons like the fork, knife and spoon to combat their risk of developing certain kinds of cancers. "This event will send a serious message to students in the Utah school districts that good nutrition could play a very important role in reducing the risk of developing cancer," said Carla Marr, Director of Communications at the ACS. A similar event, the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout, took place recently. It encouraged students not to smoke. Winning With Food Day, March 28, will urge students to choose a strong diet of healthy foods, resulting in the adoption of lifelong habits that will reduce their risk of cancer. The ACS has . :"p enlisted every school district statewide to' equip students with foods rich in vitamins A and C, low in fat and high in fiber. Research has indicated that nearly 80 percent of "all cance'rs may be attributed' to 'lifestyle choices and. .35 percent may be attributed to diet alone.

"The ACS recommends high-fibdiets to help avoid cancer; vitamin A to reduce the risk of developing cancers of the lung, larynx and esophagus; and low-fa- t diets-tlower the risk for cancers of the breast, prostate and colon," Marr said. "These recommendations comprise simple, er colo-rcct- inexpensive, yet delicious changes in eating habits." "We hope to raise the public's awareness about how to protect themselves against cancer," Marr said.
