The Student
Health Center
There was always a student health
center but before it was in much smaller
quarters.
The student health center, located on
the northeast corner of Barton and
Shaw avenues, has been serving Fresno
State students for 7. years. Its director,
Dr. John A. Vandrick says, "The utiliza-
\ tion (Health Center) is greater at Fresno
State than most of the other facilities
in the State University system."
$25-530 of your student fees go to the
Health Center each semester. This fee
entitles the registered student to a
variety of medical services' under a
basic plan. This basic plan includes:
treatment of acute and sub-acute ill¬
nesses, basic X-rays and !''-> exams,
contraceptive counseling, medicines at'
basic cost, and family planning (which
was under the augmented program last
year), treatment of simple injuries for
Workman' s Compensation.
The additional 58 health fee entitles
the registered student to the services
available under an augmented plan
These additional services include:
physical therapy, special x-rays, im¬
munization clinic (for travel), clinical
lab tests (cholesterol levels, High
Density Lipoproteins or HDL), physical
exams (for jobs), and access to 3 spe¬
cialists: a dermatologist, radiologist,
and an orthopedist.
Last year a health education task force
was established to study health care at
Fresno State Many of the different de¬
partments were represented on this task
force. The task force will evolve into a
student advisory committee which will
need two student advisors One of the
representatives will be from the Dorm
Community. Students, with interests in
health-related fields, interested in serv¬
ing on this committee can contact either
Martha Davis (the current student rep¬
resentative), 294-2657, 10 00-4 00 or
Dr. Vandrick (director of Student Health
' Services). They also welcome sugges¬
tions and/or comments.

September is the first month of the
year, the school year, that is. Time to
unpack those notebooks and pencils in
preparation for another long academic
grind of notes and exams and research
projects and notes on top of notes.
Time for many hours of study Mrtfe.
This is commonly referred to as 'the
life of the college student."
On the other hand. I sincerely hope
you manage to experience what is
commonly referred to as 'college life.'
It is a very important and fulfilling
phase of the university experience
which greatly encompasses the social
aspects and values of college
To spend your college days exclusively
in the books without having socially
intersected with "the' various person¬
alities around you or at least occasionally
become involved in some of the many
student activities on campus; you have
not experienced 'college life." If you
have not made acquaintances well
worth cherishing; you have not ex- .
perienced 'college life." If wiring the
course of your college days you fail to
realize a better person within yourself;
you my friend, have not experienced
'college life.* It cannot be learned
through lecture. It must be experienced!
Learn, but also enjoy all you can now,
knwoing that college won't last forever
and beyond it is a degree of respon¬
sibility you have not yet experienced.
Chances-are that when it's over you'll
wish you had enjoyed college to the
fullest. So, stop and take a minute to
realize that these, are the best years of '
your life. HAVE A GOOD YEAR!.

'The problem is greed. Man has put
forth his own greed over mankind. In
the exploitation of natural resources,
man has forgotten the fundamentals of
life, which is based on getting along
with one's fellow man. It is difficult
to combine all of man's diversified
backgrounds and cultures to correct this

POETRY
The Foreman At The Packing House.
The foreman cefmes, tiptoeing
Towards our zone like a hell gate usher
Swinging his bow<urved hands.
You would think him a ghoul,
A shovel at hand
To dig through our hearts.
Squaint-eyed
His Oriental ancestry since long ago
Etched a crushed-can expression on his face,
His whiskers stick out like quills
When he points his finger at
Exhausted men and women.
' His sabre-like hands sway back and forth,
Conditioned to packing boxes
And signing dismissal notes,
But more swarthy than a mortician's.
You would think
He touched corpses at funeral homes. .
Splinters on his lips.
Contours in his mouth
Traced by saliva betray
The dead victims he may have kissed goodbye.
He smiles.
Crates a lunch sandwich, drooling.
But a baby watching
Would swoon on his feet with convulsions.
The three black men
Dread him like a mortar bomb;
They may be weak
But would still kneel before him
So he wouldn 't write six forty-five
When the wall clock dearly shows its hand dead at seven.
'Written for Rommy and Hep*
I reach out with my heart to touch your affection, i even spend endless
moments hoping that the world will stop turning and let us off. We'll
live a life that only you and I will rule. We'll walk hand in hand through
life's episodes. We'll be the only couple in the world with a perfect re¬
lationship.
When I first met you my heart was spell bounded, my emotions doubled,
and my life suddenly took on a new involvement that made me grow an
inch Inside when I first met you — Sandra.
- Whenever I go go the beach I see your face In every tide. Chilled, I
become and suddenly the wind has brought about that moist, tenderness
weather affect given to me by just a though of you.
And if Cod allowed me the power to keep you alive, I would make love
to you every day. I 'II charge your energy source of life — with spontaneous
eruptions of pure love.
Remember back when time seemed so long and the dreams so perfect
That all you had to do was have that most ultimate dream — which *—'
you —dream girt.
Sandra, you 're my inspiration given to me by your exisfc-nce. You'remy
happiness that I longed seeked. You're a shadow to me. That doesn't need
the sun to cast a reflection, You'remy 'WorldCiri.*
But most of all, I want you to know that my life has made a drastic change
toward your world. I want you to knew, that because of you, I'll be success¬
ful in life.
I want you to know that I'll always love you. I'll always be here for you,
Sandra. And if I have to, I'll stop time so you and I can get involved toget¬
her.
For you, I'll do, for you, Sandra

ChakaChan
I am sure that most of my readers have
heard of Chaka Chan: a-super star in
the music world. I am also sure that
many of you listen to her records, post
her picture, read about her in maga¬
zines, and consider yourselves fans.
As a result, I know you would like to
know who Chaka Chan considers her¬
self a fan of? The answer is Queen
Chaka!
Chaka was a great African Zulu Chief¬
tain. Through her extraordinary military
strategies and brilliance, she united
many tribes in Central and South Afri¬
ca into what became known as the Bantu-
Nation, during when this nation oc¬
cupied two-thirds of the African contin¬
ent.
These people, who varied in color
from the black of the Amaswaza to the
yellowish-brown of some of the Bechu-
ana, are collectively called Zulus. The
name was given to them by Chaka,
whose original tribe membership was
Zulu, but who conquered most of the
other territories and formed the nation
that played such an important part of
the political history of South Africa,
during the nineteenth century.
Chaka united the entire Zulu nation
against the Dutch and English 'with a
military genius unique in history:*

Valediction
We swam far across
The dark, coloured rivers.
We walked through the
Evergreen vegetation
To the light, milk-rich land.
Our burdens strapped
To our shoulders
Like babies carried on their
Mother's backs as they planted cassava on the farms.
Wet of wings.
Some water traced down to our toes
As signals to go further
Congratulations!
Forever Ugo Egbuziem
In our world, 1977
Do your best.
Going Away
Now you must move on.
You must leave your friends.
The friends you danced with 'a/May, all night.
The friends who shared sadness and foy under /
sun and rain.
You must leave your friends and go away.
Going away I
To places cold an unfamiliar.
To cultures strange like dark graveyard,
confusing as the politician's stand.
To people speaking in different tongues.
To lands far away from home.
