Editorial
As Christmas Recess approaches, it is appalling to
see h o w commercial America has t h r o w n important holidays to the waste side. Usually the day after Thanksgiving,
the stores w i l l p u t u p their Christmas decorations, and
other seasons greetings paraphernalia. N o t anymore. I
remember going to buy Halloween candy i n mid-October,
and I saw Santa Claus.
Are we going to let commercial America turn us
into thoughtless materialists w h o w i l l only celebrate holidays that we can shop for? The answer is yes! If y o u think
about i t deeply, we only celebrate heavy shopping holidays. Holidays such Christmas, N e w Years, Valentines
Day, and Independence Day, we spend countless hours i n
the malls shopping, and all for the w r o n g reasons.
We must break this w o r l d l y spell commercial
America has over us. We have already let commercial
America snatch away our day of g i v i n g thanks. As we
journey home over the Christmas recess, demand everyone to p u t d o w n their plastic long enough to give thanks to
God. We need to thank God for his son Jesus w h o was born
of the V i r g i n Mary, and sacrificed that w e might live
eternally. Thank God for food o n tables, roofs over heads,
and the ability to educate ourselves. Let us get back on the
right track and give i t for the man above. Remember:
"Jesus is the reason for every season!"
Yo-Yo...Did y o u k n o w that i n 1991, 19,900 people were killed i n alcohol-related traffic
crashes? 6,362 of these individuals were innocent victims. D i d y o u k n o w that about two
i n every five Americans w i l l be involved i n an alcohol-related crash at some time i n their
lives? D i d y o u k n o w that one out of every three people killed i n a crash was not drinking,
but was the victim of someone else's decision to d r i n k and drive? D i d y o u k n o w that Y O U
can do something to prevent this? "Friends don't let friends drive d r u n k . " If you are w i t h
someone w h o is d r i n k i n g , don't let them drive. Do whatever i t takes. Take the keys. Call
a cab. Take a stand. Taking a stand yields results. The number of intoxicated drivers killed
in traffic crashes decreased by more than 2,000 between 1990 and 1991. A n d , i n 1992, there
were 17,699 alcohol related crashes, the lowest number of alcohol-related crash fatalities
since 1962. So, the next time your friend insists on d r i v i n g d r u n k , stop h i m b y any means
necessary. Because, if he kills people w h o are innocent, h o w w i l l y o u live w i t h yourself? Take a stand. A n d remember,

Maryland study confirms need for two shots for college students to protect against measles, rubella
Baltimore, Md. - Giving two measles vaccinations builds a person's defenses to the disease much better than one shot
and lengthens the immunity, a study at a Maryland university concludes.
Debra Sivertson, student health director at University of Maryland i n Baltimore County and one of the researchers,
said the shots may also boost protection against m u m p s and rubella for college w o m e n of childbearing age.
Although the number of reported measles outbreaks on campuses is small w h e n compared w i t h the general
population, Sivertson said that colleges should still emphasize two-dose vaccination programs since many students live
in close quarters and outbreaks are often costly not only for institutions but for the students i n missed education.
Colleges also should even consider giving measles shots to students w h o had t w o vaccinations before 1980. A high
number of students at Sivertson's clinic w h o had received t w o shots before 1980 had no i m m u n i t y to measles or their
immune status had waned through the years, she said.
"From a college perspective, that second M M R is a public health issue to keep a community safe," said Sivertson,
during an interview withHealth News. "We also have a chance to protect future children because mothers w h o are exposed
to measles d u r i n g pregnancy are at very high risk, A t our school, we have 4,000 students w h o are over 25 and many are
mothers, so y o u can see how important i t is."
More than 95 percent of the 256 athletes i n Sivertson's study w h o were seronegative became seropositive, meaning
they built an i m m u n i t y to measles after each getting one more shot. A l l athletes w h o were susceptible to rubella switched
to seropositive after the shots, according to the study, which was presented recently i n Public Health Reports.
Researchers said their findings confirm epidemiological studies that show increased risk of measles among those
vaccinated before 1980. Some of the athletes had only one vaccination w h e n they were young, while some had t w o shots
before 1980, the year the measles vaccination formula was changed.
Health experts say that measles is making a comeback w i t h a vengeance. I n 1989, the number of measles cases
stood at 18,193, a twelvefold increase since 1983 and an increase that continued until the figure hit 27,786 cases i n 1990,
according to Sivertson's study.
Since 1980, nearly 4,000 measles cases have broken out at colleges, more than two-thirds i n the past t w o years on
93 different campuses, according to the National Coalition for A d u l t Immunization.
What's more, rubella is returning, especially among adults i n college and prisons, a well as i n religious
communities that prohibit vaccinations, the study said.
In the same Public Health Reports, doctors w i t h the National Vaccine Office called i n an editorial for a renewed
emphasis on vaccinations, "because the consequences of failure-preventable illness leading to unnecessary costs, disability
and death-are shared by the entire nation.
"America cannot afford such waste."

His U O I Y H O

We are appealing to y o u and to other colleges
and universities around the country on behalf
of Linda and Elle Kelly of Englewood, N e w
Jersey, to help save their six-year-old son,
Elliott, w h o has been stricken w i t h leukemia
and needs a bone m a r r o w transplant to survive.
Because bone marrow matching is ethnically
tied, the Kelly's best chance of f i n d i n g a
matched donor for their son is f r o m another
African American. Due to the fact that the
National Registry has a very small number of
African-American participants, Elliot and his
family must resort to recruiting potential donors, hoping for a "miracle match." That is
w h y we have come to y o u for help.
By contacting the H L A Registry Foundation,
Inc., 70 Grand Avenue, River Edge, N.J. 07661,
you can host a donor recruitment drive on
campus for Elliott and other patients stricken
w i t h potentially fatal blood diseases. TIME IS
OF THE ESSENCE, and we need your participation N O W . We w o u l d greatly appreciate
any assistance y o u can provide i n the exhaustive search to f i n d a compatible donor to help
save Elliot's life.
To arrange a testing session for the Kelly
Family, please call H L A at 1-800-336-3363.
ELLIOT
D I D YOU K N O W
Help!
In most cases, African-Americans can only receive donors of their o w n race. However, only 50,000 of the 951,000
donors registered w i t h the National Marrow Donor Program are African Americans. African-Americans should be
eager to participate i n health tests because of their high rates of high blood pressure, glaucoma, and heart complications.

EVENTS
A FAMILY MATTER
by Regina Gibson
O n November 6-8, the Philander Smith College Drama Department p r o u d l y presented " A
Family Matter", a combination of the best i n Gospel music. Comedy, and Drama i n t w o acts. The play
was written b y our o w n , M r . Darius Nelson, and it featured, Ms. Kaya Isabel, Purity, T r i u m p h a n t , and
Ms. Carol Brockman. A l l proceeds f r o m the production benefitted former Miss Philander Smith College,
Ms. Jujuan Chantele' Williams, w h o has been diagnosed w i t h Lupus.
Darius Nelson, along w i t h the Drama Department have out done themselves on this magnificent
production. A Family Matter was based on the Jefferson's, a religious and holy ghost filled f a m i l y , faced
w i t h a problem. The problem being a runaway daughter, mother, sister, Ms. Joanna Jefferson, played b y
Carol Brockman, w h o returned to join the family after 18 years. A l t h o u g h the Jeffersons are religious
people, Joanna's return is not w a r m l y welcomed. Mother Jefferson also k n o w n as " B i g M a " , played by
Kaya Isabel, is the grandmother and the dominant one i n the household. Her stubbornness to l e t t i n g
Joanna back into the house was heart touching yet comical also. Donald Dupre, played b y Darius Nelson,
was the son of Joanna left behind to be raisecfby Big Ma. Donald has been w a n t i n g to met his mother for
a long time,however when he finally meets her, Donald turned her away. The only Family member w i l l i n g
to help, and who has actually kept i n touch w i t h Joanna, is her brother, Reverend Joshua Jefferson pastor
of Z i o n Temple Church, played by Reverend M a r k N o r m a n . The finale of the play took place i n Z i o n
Temple Church. The Jefferson Family and friends accepted Joanna back into the f a m i l y .
From the opening act this play was phenomenal i n every way. Besides the Jefferson f a m i l y , the
added characters like Deacon Sneaky, played by Carl Taylor, and W i l m a Jenkins, played b y Kathy
Cannon, were exceptional and added countless laughs. Let s not forget the melodious choir, comprised
of our o w n college choir members, Triumphant, and r u r i t y . N o t only was the story line, acting, and music
excellent, but the set design also, by Amber Tweh.
" A l t h o u g h the play was to benefit Ms. Jajuan Chantele Williams, I received personal enlitement. This
play helped me mend some of m y o w n problems." -Kaya Isabel
"This play brought out m y total emotions. It just felt good being back home. " - Roshunda L y n n M i l l e r ,
Miss PSC 91-92
" I t was an excellent production. I ' m just sorry that our administrators, faculty, and staff d i d n ' t have the
opportunity to enjoy the production as well as I d i d . " - Terry Esper

Fashion Criminals

The older lady w h o was spotted on the sidewalk, November 3, 1993 at
3:05 p . m . ; Y o u were totally out of order. N o t only should the book be
t h r o w n at y o u , but a stay of execution should by issued. Violations
include: Blue & White Labor Day checkered picnic suit, w i t h a dead of
the winter blue 1963 poet blouse. Let's not forget that sporty 1985
plastic Salem cigarette bag y o u got for free at the 911 liquor store.
The male teacher w h o insists o n wearing daisy dukes and crop tops. If
you dare wear short shorts, Nair those legs and french braid your chest
hairs! You scare y o u r class werewolf.
The female freshman i n the cafeteria at 12:11 p . m . , November 29,1993
d u m p i n g her tray. What possessed y o u to p u t on a l o u d yellow smock
over a white t-shirt, w i t h Sunkist orange pants, and b r o w n and burg u n d y suede and leather oxford shoes?
The male greek w h o wears his G.I. Joe vest wherever he goes. Son, the
war is over! O h , let's not forget y o u r girlfriend at the Monday night
basketball game. She wore a white sweater, aqua suede shorts, w i t h off
white stockings, and cream shoes. "What's really going o n ! "

Spirit
by Velda Hunter
"Here we go panthers, here we go w o o , w o o ! " Here we go, yeah
right. Right out the door w i t h our spirit. What spirit y o u ask, I figured
you w o u l d because Philander Smith College doesn't have any.
What a shame, what a shame. We have a school population large
enough to accomplish anything we want, and yet, we can't get enough
student support to show u p at a talent show, basketball game, etc...
If PSC was r u n n i n g on spirit alone, there w o u l d n ' t be a PSC.
Spirit is_Students Putting Intelligence and Recreational f u n I n Together.
But, for some reason they are separate. Either people are to intelligent
to have recreational f u n or they are having to much f u n elsewhere. Let's
now p u t them together. Let's go to class and basketball games. Let's go
to our major advisor and get help, and attend school functions. TRUST
M E ! It can be done.
Let's get a hard earned education and have some f u n at the same
time, n o w , and as the next semester approaches lets be eager to get into
our studies and our school activities too.

SPORTS
U n t i l y o u learn exactly what w o r k s for y o u , t r y the following:
- About three hours before game or match time, eat a moderate-size
meal.
* N O T A FEAST, BUT D O N ' T STARVE*
-Be sure to include carbohydrate foods, such as breads, potatoes, pasta,
cereal and fruits.
ATHLETIC APPETITE
by A n n C. Grandjean
(Novemeber 1993 DFA)
Because eating before competition affects every athlete differently, i f s impossible to
make hard-and-fast rules about the "pregame"
meal.
If I could give y o u one tip, it w o u l d be:
Learn what works for y o u . Don't copy other
athletes, no matter h o w successful they are.
Experiment d u r i n g practice and training. Listen to y o u r b o d y , because the best
precompetition meal is an i n d i v i d u a l matter.
Some world-class and professional
athletes eat large amounts of food as close as
one to t w o hours before competitions. Others
don't eat a thing for six hours before.
Research has shown that while consuming a l i q u i d or solid meal as close as 30
minutes before an event may result i n a full
stomach feeling, i t has no negative effect on
performance. The best time to eat before competition varies f r o m athletes to athlete.
You should eat foods y o u like. Before
a big game is definitely not the time to eat liver
and onions or spinach if y o u don't like them.
You also need to learn what foods do
and don't "set w e l l " w i t h you. Precompetition
stress can cause your stomach and intestine to
act u p , and this can affect how you react to
foods and beverages. Stick w i t h foods you're
accustomed to eating. Competition day is not
the time to t r y new foods, because they may
cause nausea, cramps or diarrhea.
H o w do y o u determine your perfect
precompetition meal? Keeping a diary can
help. Write down what and how much y o u eat
and drink and how many hours or minutes
before your event. Note h o w y o u felt just before
and during competition. Then adjust.
(Continued Next Column)
-Go easy on fat. Stay away f r o m fried foods and lots of butter or
margarine.
-Don't forget fluids. Water, m i l k or juice should be part of the meal.
Then adjust accordingly.
