Hi'' ht''"'j' ''^' C^c^^‘'v6i'''sj!^''■^‘‘\/V3fv^'Oi 'N'' ‘.c 'Q. r»' FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1977 THE BENNETT BANNER Page Three /# "• '# In Christian Feminism Course Non-Sexist Language Emphasized (Continued from Page 1) “Emphasis was placed on the de velopment of non-sexist language for worship, the participation of women in church and the relation of feminist concerns to Christian and Biblical heritage,” said Tro- bian. Various books, films, tapes and journalism articles were used in teaching the class, including an original speech written by Dr. Trobian on feminism in religion. But more important in conducting the class was the interaction among the students. Stephanie Thomas, a junior, business administration major from Georgia said, “The class was like a general conversation, very relaxed and filled with intense emotional feelings. The most in teresting thing about the way the course was taught, was that we taught each other.” Agreeing with Stephanie was “Kathleen Fears, a junior soci ology major, also from Georgia. “There was constant arguing, but we learned from it all. We dis covered hidden talents and wid ened our views on women in re ligion. The program we presented was our view of sexism in re ligion.” Helen Ferguson, a junior pre- med major from Pennsylvania had this to say about the class: “We became particularly conscious of sexist language, and avoided us ing it. Women have a vital part in the church today because of the changing values in today’s so ciety.” The majority of the class felt that the following topics had been covered extensively: (1) The contribution of women to creative change in theology. (2) Women’s changing attitudes toward church and society. (3) The nature of sexist lan guage. (4) Ways women can retain tra ditional (Christian and/or Hindu) concepts and still work toward “Banner” Staff Honors Athletes by S. Marie Brown The “Bennett Banner” staff is organizing and hosting the first Banner Athletic Appreciation Din ner Monday, Nov. 21 at 6 p.m. in the David D. Jones Student Union dining hall. The purpose of the din ner is to act as a morale booster for the athletes and the student body. At this time certificates and words of appreciation will be given to the ath letes — the volleyball and basketball teams — by Shawn Humphries, student government president and senior biology major from Ft.

Dinner will be served in its usual manner. Tuesday, Nov. 22 is des ignated as “Blue and White Day.” Everyone is expected to wear blue and white to show school spirit. liberation. It was generally felt that the program “Cry for a New Birth” was the highlight of the course. “It was somewhat of a happening,” said Dr. Trobian. “Helen had writ ten a litany and Elizabeth Adams wrote an original poem. So through combined efforts, this program was born. The message, given by Rose Hudson, was also a joint effort of class members.” Every aspect of the program was decided upon by the students. For Belles Only Music was supplied by class mem bers also, with a little help from Earch, Wind and Fire. The thing that proved most dis appointing was the lack of faculty attendance at the program. Next semester the Women’s Studies Program will offer a course entitled “Feminist Re ligion.” This course will be the fifth in a series of courses deal ing with the nature of cultural changese in religious conscious ness and theological formulations. Vaginal Infections: Professional Treatment Should Be First Move (Continued from Page 2) used throughout the entire pre scribed period which is usually 15 to 30 days. Trichomoniasis, which is harder to kill than Candida, is caused by a microscopic one-cell animal called the trichomonad. The symp toms of “Trich” are like those of Candida and also produces a thin, yellowish or yellow-green, bad smelling discharge.

Treatment is usually with the drug Flagyl, which is taken orally for at least six days. Although this type of treatment is nearly 100% effec tive it may cause nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and dizziness. To lessen your risks, take the drug with food and avoid alcoholic beverages. Your mate will also need treat ment to prevent reinfection. Not nearly as common as Can dida or trichomona, Heniphilas va ginalis vaginitis (h. vaginalis) is caused by a germ of the same name. H. vaginalis causes no red ness or soreness. The only symp tom is a sour smelling, grayish discharge. This infection usually clears up with a sulpha prepara tion or another bacteria-fighting medication applied locally and/or the antibiotic ampicillin taken orally for at least six days. Your partner should be treated with oral antibiotics. Herpes genitalis, often called herpes simplex or Herpes 2 is not actually a vaginitis, but a sexual ly transmitted viral infection. Symptoms include painful blisters resembling cold sores on the vagi nal lips, lesions of the vagina, vulva or Einus, and possible fever. Sexual intercourse may be ex tremely painful. There is no total ly effective cure for herpes. Still, if you suspect you have herpes, see a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment. Herpes will event ually disappear by itself within 14 to 21 days, but it will recur. Your very first move if you suspect a vaginal infection should be to see a gynecologist. Trying to scrub or douche vaginitis away is more likely to aggravate vaginitis than to cure it. Here are a few suggestions on what to do. —Keep the area clean and dry. —Ask your sex partner(s) to be examined, and if necessary, treated. —If you have intercourse, have your partner to use a condom. —Wear cotton panties and stop wearing panty hose until the in fection clears up. —Take showers, not tub baths, to avoid getting reinfected. —Disinfect douching apparatus and diaphragm with hot water and soap each time you use them. —Tell your doctor if you are preg nant or suspect you might be as some forms of vaginitis should be treated differently during pregnancy. —Don’t feel guilty about your in fection. The thing to do is to seek immediate medical atten tion. Information taken from Cosmo politan, March 1976. Addressers Wanted Immedi ately! Work at home—no ex perience necessary — excellent pay.
