Health fair
provides 7—7
options, goals
By Todd Heth
Staff Writer
Health was on the minds of students yesterday
who attended the annual Health Fair held in the
Residence Dining Hall. Students were measured,
poked and proded as theywere tested in a variety
of screenings.
Sam GItchell. a health educator from the Health
Center, said this is the sixth year there has been a
health lair on campus.
"It's another option for students to learn about
their health without going to the doctor," said
Cltchell. "It also reflects our Interest in preven¬
tion."
GItchell said one of the goals of the lair was to get
students thinking about Health.
The whole Idea of a health fair is to promote a
positive state of health," he said. "You don't have
to be sick to go'to the health fair. We realize that
most people wont come in until they are sick."
The event, which was sponsored by the Student
Health Center and the School of Health and Social
Work, usually draws more than 500 people, ac¬
cording to GItchell. /
Booths were chosen by what students had shown
an Interest In in the past
"We have a good idea of what students think Is
most important." he said. "We like to highlight
health factors people can control. "
Some of the screenings were cholesterol tests,
AIDS risk assessment, body fat ratio, cardiovascu¬
lar fitness and stress assessment
Senior Jose Diaz felt tlic fair was a help.
"I came to learn more about my health condi¬
tions," he said. "Also I came to see the technology
in health. It's making me aware of the programs
that exist When you see how much fat Is in foods
tike pizza, you think again about it"
Sophomore Elizabeth Delatorre came mainly so
she could find out about her cholesterol level.
"Also 1 found out about my lung capacity along
wilh some other good lnformaUon," she said.
Gilchell said the short term health usually con¬
cerns students, but that another goal of the fair is
lo help with lifestyles. s~
"We feel part of our mission Is to help students
develop healthy lifestyles that will carry on from
here," he said.

Take A Break!
What would you do if someone
offered you the chance to get away
from it all. To leave school, your
parents, everything behind — and
do something you've never done
before. Like white-water rafting,
mountain climbing, or cave
exploring.
And what ifyou knew you'd
come back stronger, more con-
fiaent, and with a dozen friend¬
ships that would last you a
lifetime?
seems quite as daunting
Most Outward Bound courses
center around such activities as
canoeing, sailing, mountaineering,
and backpacking. Some last a
week, others more than three
months. All are designed to foster
leadership skills, self-reliance,
teamwork and respect for others.
But don't worry. You don't have
to be the captain of the football
team to experience Outward
Bound. Most of ihe almost 20,000
people who go each year
are in average physical
shape and have little or
no experience in the
wilderness.
Typically, there are
eight to 12 students and
two to three Outward
Bound instructors in

you are. Because once

lenges that nature can throw

each group. Instructors are all
uniquely qualified in their areas of
wilderness expertise. They're able
leaders, with substantial training,
and safety is their number-one
concern.
There are over six hundred
Outwjjd Bound courses in twenty
states to choose from.
No matter what
\
your age, interests,
or outdoor experi¬
ence, there's one
just right for you.
