Page 6 The Voice March 25, 1983 Hypertension Workshop In March By Marion Crowe Have you seen the following Physical Education Majors, Karen Randall, Katrina Bullock, Dino Russell or Marion Crowe? If you haven’t you need to see them right away. With “Your Future Is In Their Hands” as its theme, members of the Physical Education Majors (PEM) Club and the Health, Physical Education and Recre ation Department (HPER) are taking blood pressure readings of students resid ing on and off - campus during the month of February and March. The purpose of the pilot program, the first at a predominantly black institution is to develop a comprehensive hyperten sion educational and screening program that can be easily and successfully dup licated on other black university cam puses across the state of North Carolina. The program will screen students at Fay etteville State University for hyperten sion, referring those with pressure greater than 140/90 (as determined by three readings) to the Fayetteville State Uni versity health center for diagnostic follow-up and possible treatment. The physical education majors attend ed a hyypertension worksho p conducted by Ms. Judith Britt of the E. Newton Smith Public Health Center. The work shop was held February 15 and the stu dents received training on the physiology of hypertension, risk factors and current treatment and hfe-style modification. In addition, the students received training on blood pressure measurement techniques using the aneriod sphymo- manometer (an instrument used to take blood pressure readings). Starting date for the actual reading will be March 1. However, students are receiving readings now. Sites where physical education majors will be taking students readings on March 1 are the Butler Building, Music Room B, Rudolph Jones Student s Center, the Multi-purpose room and in the Women’s Gymnasium every Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 P.M. until 4:00 P. M. If you haven’t seen Karen, Katrina, Dino or Marion, now is the time. If you are over age 21, chances are you may be the one in seven that have high blood pressure. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE is some thing YOU MUST TREAT FOR LIFE. Broncoette Selected Officer Of Quarter Lt. Kimberley Brisbon a 1982 gradu ate of Fayetteville State University has been selected Junior Officer of the Quarter at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. She was selected for this award for her leadership and manage ment ability, performance of duty, mili tary bearing and behavior. Lt. Brisbon s Commanding Officer say’s, “she dis tinguishes herself above her peers.” Lt. Brisbon is a graduate of the United States Air Force Personnel Officers Course, and is assigned as an Assessment Officer for Classification of enlisted per sonnel coming into the Air Force. She is an active member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. Law Bans Sex Discrimination Campus Digest News Service Victims of sex discrimination in ed ucational institutions are no longer weak voices crying “unfair.” They now have the bark of the federal government. A recent Supreme Court decision up held a 1972 law banning sex biased employment in educational institutions from nursery schools to colleges. The ruling means federal aid may be cut off from a school that does discrim inate in its hiring practices. Justice Harry A. Blackmun, who wrote for the 6 to 3 m^ority, said federal funds would be cut off from only those programs in which the employment discrimination occured. The cut-off is clear in some instances where programs receiving federal monies are distinclty defined, such as at colleges, but at elementary and high schools, the ruling could mean a complete retraction of all funds. The court, however, did not define “pr ogram.” The 1972 law which was upheld is Title IX of the Education Act Amend ments. Under the law, persons discrimin ated against can report their complaint to the Education Department. The Educa tion Department has the right to investi gate ancf if evidence shows in favor of the victim, the federal government will step in. Before this law, sex-biased victims were protected by the 19 64 Civil Rights Act. Complaints were filed with the Ecjual Employment Opportunity Com mission which did the investigation and gave the permission to sue. The Supreme Court’s ruling will now force the Department of Education to complete investigations of more that 214 sex discrimination complaints that have been pihng up. Justice Lewis F. Powell, writing for the minority, said the six justices in favor of the ruling shunned all common sense in their interpretation. Justice Blackmun, however, said the broad language of the 1972 law author ized broad federal power. The justices made their decision in two cases from Conneticut where a teacher from the North Haven School District, Elaine Dove, had been denied her job back after a year of maternity leave, and Linda Potz, a guidance counsellor em ployed by the Trumbull Board of Educa tion, had been given duties different from those assigned to her male co-work- ers.

McCalop A native of Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Fouquet received her BS Degree in His tory from Barnard College in New York. In 195 3, upon graduation, she married and moved to California where she con tinued her education at the University of California. She received her PHD in 1972 and began teaching at the University of California in European and Modern Chinese History. When jobs became scarce. Dr. Fouquet began to seek elsewhere for employment. “When I started in 1966, there was a tre mendous demand for PHD in History— so I thought no problem finding employ ment.” In 197 3, she taught at California State University, in Long Beach, for three years, before she had to search for other employment. Meanwhile, the job market for PHD’s in history had dried up, and the search for employment was difficult. In 1976, she carried out a nationwide job search, and in December, she attend ed the American Historical Convention that was held in Washington, D. C., where she was interviewed by the University of Nebraska. She received a tempor'ary posi tion at the University of Nebraska in 1977. During her nationwide job search, she had applied at FSU. In May, 1978, she received a phone call from Dr. Shia-Lim- Lieu, (then acting head of the department of Social Sciences), offering her a posi tion at Fayetteville State University. She accepted the position and began at Fay etteville State University in the Fall of 19®. Her plans for the future include more traveling and teaching. She enjoys both and would be content doing just that un til she retires. This summer she and her husband plan to lead a tour to China. (She lead tours on all of her previous trips). Dr. Fouquet has traveled to many European countries in the past. Her travels include trips to Spain, Greece, Rome, Italy, Germany and France.
