Have you ever wondered
where to go if a sickness or
cold comes upon you?
Well,the students of ECSU
are proud to say that we have
a Health Center, originally
known as the Infimary, to aid
in cases of sickness.
The Infirmary consists of
four special features which
are Planned Parenthood,
Transportatio, Physical
Examination and Equipment.
These features are operated
under the supervision of Mrs.
Jean Robertson, a full
dedicated nurse who is
available 24 hours a day if
necessary to help you in
anyway possible. Mrs. Bonds
and, Mrs. Mullen, two full
time nurses aides are on duty
during the day; Mrs. Shirley
Williams a full time nurse’s
aide is on duty until mid
night; and Mrs. Griffin a fuH
time secretary will help you
with your insurance claims
and will also help you in
making appointments with
other health facilities.
The Planned Parenthood
Program is concerned with
students in making pr-
paration for wanted and
unwanted parenthood.
The Transportation
Program is provided to
transport students to and
from the hospital in case of
emergency. It is also
provided to transport
students to other health
facilities.
The Physical Examination
program provides
examination for atheletic
teams, student pledgees,
kindergarten, nursery
students and for emergency
situations in which the doctor
will make a special ap
pointment to see you.

materials to conduct tests
which are known to be very
expensive in an outside
physician or hospital. The

Theldine Baldwin a memeber
of Army ROTC is 21 years of
age. Her major reason for
going into ROTC is because
she felt she needed a
challenge. When asked how it
feels to be a female in Army
ROTC, she responded“Being
a female in Army ROTC is
more than just being a
woman. You’re a leader, a
thinker, decision-maker, and
one who is ready to take
charge of any situation. All
these things are a valuable
experience. ROTC gives me a
chance to achieve my career
goals. It also produces the
practical training,
challenges, and respon
sibilities of a fulfilling ex
perience. I would encourage
all qualified women to join
ROTC.

Leggy Looks
By Lynette Gutridge
“Nothing beats a great pair
of legs” or so a certain ad
vertising jingle goes. And it’s
really true. Gorgeous legs
have intrigued all for
decades. But come winter,
you might think showing off a
great pair of gams as strictly
summertime stuff.
Not so! This season,
legwear has come on stronger
than ever. Sassy sockS, pretty
pantyhose, knockout knee-
highs, wonderful leg warmers
and tights in colors that offer
endless possibilities. The
really great thing about the
latest leg fashions is you can
get by without spending a
bundle and it helps to bring
your current wardrobe into
fashion focus.
So with your imagination
and a few tips you can give
your wardrobe a lift.
Start off by layering one
pair of socks over another.
Next you can put on a pair of
patterned socks with solid
tights. The extra layers will
help to keep feet warmer too.
Look for socks with novelty
trims and details.Then try to
dress to focus attention to the
leg area. Pull legwarmers
over skinny pants and then
add your boots. For a coor
dinated look, try matching
legwarmers, socks, mittens,
or hats.
Textured stockings come in
a variety of everything from
herringbones to stripes and
tweeds. Texture helps to add
balance to winter wools. Tone
your pantyhose to your
shoes the lines are
automatically slimming.
For holiday parties, try the
glittery ‘ metallic hosiery.
They come in gold, silver, and
copper. It helps to dress up
any outfit. The opaque tights
are as popular as ever
especially with black patent
pumps.
Just remember the accent
is on your legs. As the saying
goes...
