(POKER, continued from page 5) 2. If you are susceptible and want the vaccine, go to the pharmacy, order it, and sign the release form. The charge can go on your student account, or you can pay for it then. 3. When the vaccine arrives, sign in; the clerk will then send you to the nurses station. You can receive the three shots in the arm or buttocks. The second shot is given a month after the first, and the third six months after the first. Last week I went in for my second shot. While I was lying there waiting, the nurse asked if I wanted it on the other side this time. It was the only refreshing moment in the whole experience. Hepatitis B is nothing to play ostrich with and ignore; every homosexual male who is, plans, or wants to be sexually active should do something about the tests or the vaccine. Gay Men*s Health reports that, "In many American cities, between one- third and one—half of new infections occur in gay men. Studies show that between 50 and 75 percent of gay men have or have had hepatitis B." As a physician friend of mine pointed out, if you have the mildest case pos sible, you'll be in the hospital for a week, miss out on school or work, and run the risk of becoming a carrier or of damaging your liver. $109 is a lot of money, but if you are or will be "homo- sexually active," you're playing a costly game if you ignore the potential for getting the disease. -Bill ... and he-e-e-r’s Johnny (Lee and I were not entirely suc cessful in our attempt to secure an orderly transition to next year's Lambda staff, so here we are again with the school year's last issue.) I would be most remiss if I did not thank Lee Mullis most heartily for all of his energy given to Lambda this year, as well as for his most appre ciated even-tempered friendship. Second, a thank you to the people who worked on advertising, particularly Jerry. The issues would not have appeared without their work, and the importance of the job shouldn't be lost in phone calls and ad sizes. And a final thank you to the staff for their infinite number of suggestions for future articles and their hard work on their own. In the past two years I have often felt better about CGA's newsletter than about CGA itself. I am hapy to say that Robert Pharr as chairperson has made CGA more visible, more visibly concerned with racism and lesbian issues, and more vital this term. Next year will be Lambda's 10th anniversary—no small feat on a campus surprisingly hostile (for its liberal reputation) to the freedom of choice about affectional/sexual orientation. Let's hope Robert gets his "banner year" and Lambda it's 10th anniversary of issues next year. Thanks, Bill Crook’s Comer Gourmet magazine says our cooks are "taking pride in cooking regional dishes, preparing them with a verve that makes them newly appealing." Food and Wine selected our chef, Bill Neal, as one of the 60 best American chefs in 1983. Macy's Department Stores featured our recipes in New York and California. Now you can have great food at reasonable prices in Chapel Hill. Come try the specialties that win rave reviews from national food critics. Dinner entrees from $4.50; late night menu until 11:30. Lunch: Monday - Friday; Dinner: Every night ALL ABC PERMITS CROOK'S CORNER/CAFE AND BAR/610 WEST FRANKLIN ST.
