Lecture stresses positive outlook
By Deborah A. Lorenzen
Staff Writer
Keep a close watch in the next few days for signs pop¬
ping up on Fresiw lawns everywhere that read, "Attended
Bernie Siegel lecture: Now I know how to live."
Dr. Bernie M. Siegel, author of Love. Medicine A
Miracles, spoke in the sold out Satellite Student Union
Tuesday night as part ofjfce University Lecture Series.
Siegel stressed that people should not wait until they
have cancer or AIDS to begin to live. The first step to
living, Siegel said, is recognizing that everyone dies.
"Lovers, joggers, vegetarians and seat belt users all
die," Siegel said.
He had a message to all of those people who get up at
five a.m. every morning to jog and then eat ruffage to
stay healthy: "Sleep late and have ice cream tomorrow.
Don't do anything to not die."
Siegel, who practices surgery in New Haven, Conn.,
said he believes that the mind can have a great effect on

cream tomorrow. Don't do
anything to not die.

the healing of the body. One day a lady sat down next to
him in his office and said that she needed to know how
to live between office visits.
That, Siegel said, "changed my outlook from failure-
oriented, helping people die, to success-oriented, helping
people live."
Siegel told another story about a young woman whose
husband died and she fell in love with another man. She
waited a year instead of marrying right away because she
was afraid what the neighbors would think. Right after
the weddjng her new husband was killed in a car accident
"Don't waste a year of your life for the neighbors,"
Siegel said. "If you accept your mortality you will think
more about your timing."
Holllstic  love,  medicine and  miracles were the topics covered by
Tuesday night in the SSU.
The first question asked by patients with a
"sentence"—a time limit on life—is "Why me?,"
according to Siegel.
To answer that, he said the patient must answer two
questions, "Am I alive?" and "Am I in the species?

when they get sick," Siegel said.
He added that there are people who choose to be
happy, not so much that life has been so good to them.
The difference is between a basement janitor who smiles
all the time and the businessman who walks around with

was not in the species.
He said that he spends a lot of his time in hotel rooms
and the one book that seems to be left there quite often
is the Bible. "What Jesus was saying is if you healed
your life there is often a by-product of that, your health.
"I ask people to look at what is wrong with their life
Siegel said to watch out for "spiritual flat tires" in
life. When you have to wait two extra hours in the wait¬
ing room of a doctors office, try to think that perhaps
the wait saved you from being caught in a 20-car

Frat relations with blacks uncertain
Greek system looks for more involvement, but blacks remaining cautious
By Alita Loe
Staff Writer
Skepticism and cautious optimism
have met the Interfraternity Council's
efforts.to invite predominantly black fra¬
ternities to Greek functions normally
attended by white fraternities in an at¬
tempt to bring the entire Greek system at
CSUF together.
Ron Wells, EFC president, said he
believes the Greek system breeds leader¬
ship quality, and, "what better way to
strengthen it then to have all of us
According to Wells, on two or three
different occassions he sent letters to the
predominantly black fraternities to let
them know "that we want them there,"
but added he hasn't been able to get
together and speak with the members or
advisers yet.
Samuel Morgan, assistant dean to
Kappa Alpha Psi, said he wondered why
Wells was having trouble contacting
black fraternity brothers.
"Is he that out of touch that he can't
visually see one of us?" said Morgan.
"What's this 'tried, attempted?"
According to Wells, the student affairs
office's fraternity list is not up to date
concerning fraternity advisers and officers,
and he said people were "really difficult to
get a hold of."
Morgan said when he saw the ad in the
Daily Collegian for the Greek picnic
today, he looked for his fraternity's let¬
ters.
"Why couldn't they put our letters in
the newspaper ad?," said Morgan. "They
could easily get in touch with us that
way."
Robert Gardenhire, president of Kappa
Alpha Psi, said it would take com¬
munication to bring traditionally white
and black fraternities together, but said he
wondered about the motives of IPC.
"It seems when they want something
out of us...they need something, they
contact us," said Gardenhire.
According to Tracy Turner, president of
Phi Beta Sigma, the UC has gotten in
touch with his fraternity in the past.
"We have been approached by them
before when they need something" said
Turner. "But we don't see anything they
can offer us, if it's not for real"   -
Wells said IFC "just wants to make the
