To your health Convenience can be dangerous Jufla K.Ro.lIng, R.Ph. ContibutJng Writer A little more than a month ago, the public was shocked by reports of deaths and illnesses caused by some of t>.^ over thecounter (OTC) medications we all It is a sad day when quality products such as Tylenol are used to hurt people when their original intent is to relieve suf¬ fering On the other hand, much more harm will occur if large numbers of people stop taking pain relievers because of fear Now that mass hysteria has died down, we should discuss the facts surrounding the poisoning incidents, and what is being done to protect the pubBc from the crimi¬ nal tampering of OTC products. First of all, to put the episode in proper perspective, the poisonings were just a few isolated incidents: I) Those in Chi¬ cago caused by the adulterated Tylenol capsules, and 2) Those "copy-cat" inci¬ dents in other parts of the country involv¬ ing different OTC products. Secondly, the FDA immediatley con¬ ducted a thorough investications of the- manufacturing plants where Tylenol is made. They have gone on record saying the adulteration did NOT occur at the manufacturing level and was the result of Human Continued from page 1 in that country, is scheduled to lecture on Tuesday at 12;45 p.m. in room 200 of the main cafeteria Hugo Zorralla will speak Wednesday at noon on the "New Testament and Human Rights" in the College Union, room 308 at CSUF Zorralla is a Columbian with a Ph D in Theology from Salamanca, Spain. He taught at Latin American Biblical Seminary in Costa Rica and currently is professor of the New Testament at Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary. Human Rights Week, is being sponsored by th Lutheran Campus Ministry, the St Paul Newman Center and the University Religious Center. "This is by far the most ambitious thing we've done," said El Hoffman, director of the University Religious Center "We wanted to make a statement of what we're trying to do We felt the bigger need was an emphasis on human rights," he said An ec umemc al team composed of all three sponsors, representing over seven denominations. Methodist, Baptist, Presbytenan, Congregation, Catholic, Epis j:opalian and Lutheran, planned the program. Anyone interested may call 222 37% for further information tampering with the capsules, most Bkely- once they reached the store shelves. Obviously, if the problem had occurred at the manufacturing level. The poisonings would have been nationwide, and not confined to the Chicago area. Thirdly, not all dosage forms of Tylenol were contaminated. Extra-strengh cap- su/es were targeted for adulteration be¬ cause of the relative ease with which they could be tampered. The tablet form of the drug has not caused any problems, and it cannot be tampered with in the same Now, what is being done to prevent this type of incident from happening again in the future? Government and manufactur¬ ing are working together to provide tam¬ per resistant packaging for OTC pro¬ ducts. The proposed regulations will take erect as follows: 1) By Feb. 7, 1983, tamper-resistant packaging will be required for all non¬ prescription drug products (except oral tablets, vaginal tablets, and rectal suppos itories), packaged on or after this date. 2) By May 5, 1983, distinctive indicator or barrier to entry wfll be required, and tamper resistant packaging will be re¬ quired for oral and vaginal tablets and for rectal suppositories. 3) By Feb. 6, 1984, tamper-reai*fant packaging will be required for aD products subject to the regulation and available for sale. Some manufacturers are already re¬ tooling and will provide the tamper-resis¬ tant packaging immediately. These tam¬ per-resistant closures will be more expen¬ sive to manufacture, but the cost is only expected to result in an increase in price to the consumer of a few pennies...'A small price to pay for safety. Unfortunately, even these^rtew safe guards cannot guarantee protection against everything a sick individual might devise. So, the rest is up to you as a consumer. When you purchase any OTC products, or even grocery items, check them thoroughly to make sure the con¬ tainers have not been opened or dam¬ aged. Do not open sealed containers in the store, but once you're home check the product inside the package for any signs of tampering. Report all problems to the store where the product was pur¬ chased. By using common sense and a little extra care n our parts, we can con¬ tinue to use and trust OTC medications. Letter Continued from page 2 First of all, she stereotypes all pro-life inority who want to return society to 'ittonan principles. This is far from the uth She backs her assertions by using thai supposedly show a majority in of legalized abortions But, the one¬ sided wording of these polls reveal why the results come out pro-choice. Also, pro-choice people like to employ the term, "civil liberities" in defense of their views, but how about mentioning some civil liberities for the unborn child? Have we become so selfish that to avoid discomfort we can call a helpless child subhuman and then eliminate it like an appendage? The simple mindedness of the abortion on demand thinking frightens me.

Karla believes that many students have turgotten her sister's death, and new stu¬ dents often are not aware that it hap¬ pened. As a result, she said, students are lulled into thinking that it's safe to'go out on the campus alone at night. ...when I finish this year of school I will have surpas¬ sed what Krista had done.' 3 people say happened.

"1 wanted someone to do thing* with but I didn't want anybody to try and step fan and tafie her place," Karla said. "I had the sort of an attitude where 1 didn't want anyone to try and fill a space that wasn't there to fin.", The loss was especially painful, she said, because her sister had become more than just a sister to her. "For her to be kiBed down here was not like losing my sister who may have been going to a different college and me just hearing it over the phone. I lost her as a sister, a* a best friend and as a roommate too. Overnight, three people, three per¬ sonalities, three categories of my daily activities were missing." It was often difficult for students aware of Karla's loss to express their sympathy. Even now, in trying out for the CSUF women's so ft ball team, she encountered the same problem. "I was talking to one of the girls from the Softball team, mentioning that two years ago on Dec. 3 my sister was killed," Karla said. "And she looks at me and says, "All the girls on the softbail team know that it was you and that it was your sister and nobody knows what to say to you.' So I just told her that I don't mind talking about it." Perhaps one of the reasons Karla doesn't mind talking about her sister, she said, is because Karla has no regrets about not spending enough time with her. "A lot of people, when someone is killed close to them regret not spending time with them," Karla said. "They'll say 'you don't know what you've got till it's gone.' In my case I can honestly say there's not one thing 1 regret." Karla, who tried out for the women's basketball team her freshman year but didn't make it, did make the squad the*" year after Krista died. Karla said one of Krista's dreams was to see her sister play on the Bulldogs' basketball team. "I have to say that in the back of my mind «i«e the 1 did this one for Krteta' *ort of thing because thi* (making the team) wa* one thing ah* aauaya w«ntad to **e me do, or she knew I could do it and so did L" . .
