7 get THE “411” ON SERVICES AT THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT By Pamela C. Smith This is th0 tjeginning of a new school year at Fayetteville State University. Students start each school year with aspirations of meeting new people, getting involved in various organizations and activities, and, of course, getting through those classes. The ultimate goal, however, is converging on that arduous task of obtaining a degree! Although these aspirations are wonderful, there is always the chance that mishaps and misfortunes can intervene and deter us from achieving our college education. Pregnancy, AIDS, and communicable diseases can occur during our college years if we do not take necessary preventative measures. If you are sexually active or think you might want to be, remember the "5 P's"--Prior Planning Prevents Premature Parenthood!
