This will allow the fat to drip to the bottom of the pan and not saturate the dark meat. Remember that the skin and dark meat contain the most fat. Steam your yams or sweet potatoes and leave the skin on. They are good source of vitamins and fiber. Use a lot of fresh vegetables to compliment your turkey. Try the low fat or non fat cream cheese and sour cream available at your supermarket for your pies and casseroles. And remember Moderation, Moderation, Moderation! Enjoy your Holiday!!! 12/2 Power Walking with Michelle Combellick *NOTE LOCATION CHANGE: Meet at Student Recreation Center and wear comfortable clothing and bring an extra pair of workout shoes. 12/9 Cross-Country Ski Maintenance with Paul Beberg, UAF Ski Coach 12/16 Ergonomics in the Work Place with Scarlett Hopkins ****************** ATTACHMENT 38/2 UAF GOVERNANCE COORDINATING COMMITTEE #38 OCTOBER 20, 1997 1998-99 Academic Calendar Options Ann Tremarello, Registrar, submitted three options for the 1998-99 academic calendar. Each option incorporates a "make up day" for the Alaska Civil Rights day. The first option suggests beginning instruction one day earlier, on Wednesday instead of on Thursday. The difficulty is that it would be very confusing to students and everyone else to begin the semester with one day and call it something else and would be impossible to make certain everyone understood the swap. Option two suggests beginning instruction at the beginning of the week and adds three more days, including a Monday, to the calendar. The spring semester already more than meets the minimum number of contact hours required. This proposal would shorten the time between the end of the fall semester and the beginning of the spring semester. Option three suggestions adding a Monday class day at the end of the semester and push final exams back one day. This creates a problem in that the study day would be eliminated. The deadline for submitting senior grades would be one day later making it impossible to certify all graduating students available in time for publication of the commencement program.
