NCCU TOURING CHOIR
.-To entertain at Little Rock
The NCCU Touring
Choir is made up of stu
dents from the tradition
ally black state-supported
university in Durham. Its
repertoire includes
black culture: spirituals,
popular music and gospel
music.
Dr. Gilchrist, who nas
directed the choir since
1968, has won national
acclaim with his arrange
ments of gospel music for
choirs. While the older
spirituals had become
standard items for choral
groups, the music current
in the black church has
been less familiar.

Dr. Gilchrist has in his
arrangements captured
much of the rhythm,
power and spontaneity of
gospel and made that
music accessible to trained
vocalists and choirs. Se

’ “Their size makes it

Y “Luckily, many viral

ffect children,” said Dr.
N. MacCormick, head of

branch of die Division of
Health Services. “Vaccine
preventable viruses have
all but been wiped out in
North Carolina.’’
There have been no cases
of polio reported in the
state since 1968, and last
year for the third year in a
row, there were fewer cas
es of measles reported.
Only a single case of red
measles was reported in all
of 1983.
“In recent years, we
averaged 64 cases of
mumps in the state an
nually,” said Dr. Mac
Cormick, “but last year we
received only 14 mumps
reports.
“While that’s certainly
good news, we must not let
down our guard,” said the
health official. “We must
continue to vaccinate our
children for preventable
viruses. Hoptfully, some
day we’ll be able to do the
same thing for other
viruses; certainly we may
have more effective means
of treatment.”
Some research pediatri
cians across the country
are cTUTifiiay'ttSBfl^aSiti

Katz, but thebe’s nothing
available yet at the neigh

As treatment, Dr. Katz
advised clear fluids and a
day or two of rest for most
youngsters The use of an
aspirin substitute or aspi

advice, he said. “If your
child has very raspy re-,
spirations or a fever soars
or does not break within a
few hours, call your phy
sician,” he said. “Some
cold viruses can lead re
latively quickly to a more
serious ear infection or
pneumonia.”
He also warned parents
to be particularly careful
with infants who have in
