The Circle K Club and Alpha
Sigma Phi fraternity are
planning a door-to-door canvass
of Wilson Nov. 16-17 for Multiple
Sclerosis. These groups are
working with Dr. W. R. Parker
Jr., chairman of the Psychology
Department.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a
chornic crippling disease that
affects the nervous system. It is
rather common organic disease
affecting almost 500,000 people
in the United States alone. The
symptoms appear most often in
young adults between the ages of
20 and 40. In the disease, the
protective covering of the nerve
hbers deteriorates, leaving
scars. With the formation of scar

tissue, nerve impulses may be
blocked so that muscles do not
perform their functions properly
or at all. It is termed "multiple”
because it affects many parts of
the nervous system, and is
frequently characterized by
periods of remission or relief
from symptoms followed by
periods of partial or complete
recovery.
Multiple Sclerosis has no one
infallible sign, with almost part
of the nervous system being
involved. The spinal cord is
probably the most frequently
affected; its involvement may
cause periods of partial to
complete paralysis of the legs
and sometimes of the trunk and
arms.
Quite often the patients are
unusually cheerful in spite of
their symptoms. They continue
to hope in spite of progressive
impairment.
Unfortunately, the cause of the
damage done has thus far eluded
medical science. The National
Multiple Sclerosis Society, the
only voluntary health agency in
the nation engaged in supporting
research to find the cause of MS.
All of the programs, research,
professional education, public
information, and community
and patient services ar sup
ported with funds entirely and
voluntarily contributed by the
public. It is in this way that you,
as young adults and a target of
MS, can contribute and help in
preventing MS.
Please support the volunteers
when they pay you a visit — any
amount will help.
SGA Meet
Held
■'A new library is the largest
single component of the current
fund-raising efforts," stated by

SGA meeting. A member of the
Library Committee, Jimmy

discussed plans and outlook for
the new library with the com

inadequate) for a new building
which will be constructed on
contraversial location. Several
sites have been proposed, in
cluding the parking area in front
of the administration building.
“At the meeting the comment
was made that the college should
not sell the Whitehead Annex
House, so it could be used for
parking,” continued Adams. The
