“Healthful Hints” “Running down? Run on down — to the Health Fair!” Complete with balloons and popcorn, the 3rd annual Queens Student Health Fair featured 14 health categories and was held on February 5 in the Irwin McKay Student Health Center. Volunteers from agencies such as the American Red Cross, Planned Parenthood and the American Heart and Lung Associ- ation brought brochures and tested stu- dents on different aspects of health aware- ness. Students could visit “Health Sta- tions” as varied as the American Lung Association’s “Healthy Habits for Healthy Lungs,” College Chaplain Jennifer Burns’s “Living Wholly Holy Living,” and coun- selor Linda Diebold’s “How Do You Rate? Test your Stress” booth. For the first time, the Charlotte Dental Society was in atten- dance to check students’ teeth and describe gum disease prevention. Written up in the Charlotte Observer, the Health Fair was publicized on campus with posters by art professor Marbury Brown as well as with the antics of the WBCY Chick- en. A large turnout of 225 students attend- ed. “The purpose of the Fair is strictly educ- tional,” said Health Center Nurse Eileen Kulp. “We want to expose students to as much health care information as we can.” RIGHT: Before going to check out the individual booths, Marian Huntley, Mary Holland, Susan Dykema, Elizabeth Andrews, Gina Rogers, and Cathy Pope sample the free popcorn in the Health Center lobby. ■ ABOVE: Making the rounds at the Fair, Diana Williams discusses the Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness and Testing Program with representative June Gill.
