Remember Mom always telling you
to eat your greens? Well, many stu-
dents have decided to take her advice
by switching to vegetarian diets.
But higher food costs and a lack of
places that serve vegetarian foods on
campus are giving some students sec-
ond thoughts.
For Gavin Ward, University College
sophomore, being a college student
and maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle
isn’t the easiest thing to do.
“Being brake and being a vegetarian
means you don't eat as much," Ward
said. “A lot of times, I find myself eating
one meal a day. It’s definitely hard.”
Many vegetarians buy only organi-
cally grown vegetables, which cost
more than vegetables grown with
chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Students like Ward are finding it dif-
ficult to afford such foods. Ward said
he is considering giving up a vegetari-
an diet.
“In a way, the cost is a problem for
me," Ward said. “1 might not keep
going with it."
Nancy Bacon, community dietitian
for Norman Regional Hospital, said
students like Ward might not realize
there are alternatives to expensive soy
products.
“You can have a veggie diet, and it
can be quite healthy by using veg-
etable sources of protein," Bacon said.
“You don't have to use specialty prod-

Killian said Millben's withdrawal of the suit
will allow student government to refocus on Grossman. I withdrew the suit filed based on
helping students.
“I think it evidences that

so far this year, and the
action that [Millben] has
taken has shown evidence
that people are starting to
