Subject   st: Using variable label in stata as you would a macro

Hello all,
I am wondering if there is a way in stata to use the labels
given to variables as you might a macro.  For example,
suppose you have a variable "state" where the values are the
state names in the US.  You turn this into a series of dummy
variables then run a series of regressions in a loop such
as:
foreach var of varlist _Istate_1-_Istate_50 {
reg x y
outreg if `var'==1, se append
}
What I'm wondering if there is a way to do this:
foreach var of varlist _Istate_1-_Istate_50 {
reg x y
(some command that gives you the variable label of `var')
outreg if `var'==1, se append ctitle(label of `var')
}
This would give you a spreadsheet where each column is
labeled with the relevant state name. 

Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance.
