^4 real story about the real Health Fair
Erin Yasuda
Staff writer
Pink and blue balloons
adorned the entrance to the Resi¬
dence Dining Facility Tuesday to
highlight CS'JFs Health Fair 1992.
Twenty colorful booths were
set up to adress subjects that
ranged from campus and dormi¬
tory safety to vision and hearing
assessments.
Students circulated around the
RDF Tuesday afternoon to check
out the booths, which offered a
variety of health tests, screenings,
assessmentsand brochures related
to health issues.
Sam Gitchel, health educator
from the Student Health Center,
said that the fair was designed to
make students aware of measures
they can take to maintain their
health such as blood pressure
checks and lung function screen¬
ing.
'The research shows again and
again that prevention pays," he
said. "People who play an active
role in maintaining their health
have longer lives.
"We want to encourage all
Fresno State students to be active
in maintaining their health," he
said.
Peggy Gish, lecturer in the
health science department, said
that students need to be aware of
issues relating to preventive
health.
"The fair is a great way for
students to access preventive in¬
formation to make use of in their
lives," she said.
She said that the fair, which
has been held for seven years, is
not designed to replace the serv¬
ices offered in the Health Center.
"The whole idea of the health
fair is that students will not need
to go to the Health Center as of¬
ten," she said.
Gish said that the most popu¬
lar booth among students typi¬
cally is the stress booth.
"By lowering the stress level
there are not as many flus and
colds," she said.
The stress booth contained an
assortment of quizzes and an in¬
strument designed to measure
stress levels.
Gitchel said that the cholestrol
collusion a secret agreement
between two or more persons for
a deceitful or fraudulent purpose
screening and cardiovascular-fit-
ness testing booths have also
proved to be very popular.
Another popular booth con¬
cerned alcohol awareness, which
offered an assortment of soft
drinks and included posters warn¬
ing about the dangers of alcohol.
While booths related to nutri¬
tion and fitness may be popular
among students, Gitchel said that
the booths relating to fire safety
and safety on wheels are the most
important to student livelihood.
"Accidents are the No. 1 lead¬
ing cause of death for college stu¬
dents," Gitchel said.
The fair coordinators have tried
to tailor the fair to college stu¬
dents in the last few years, Gish
said.
She said that while there has
been a decreasing number of out¬
side agencies involved with the
fair, there has been an increasing
number of school dubs involved.
Gitchel said, "The emphasis is
on student involvement Students
a re in vol ved in presenting a ma¬
jority of the displays."
For example, the students in
Gish's alcohol awareness course
coordinated the alcohol awareness
booth.
An additional boo t h on bicycle
safety was coordinated by the
CSUF Safety Club.
The health fair, which brought
in between 800 and 1,000 students,
was coordinated by CSUF Stu¬
dent Health Services and the
School of Social Work.
