Bits N’ Pieces ECSU-Day by Harold Stokes Saturday, March 19, 1983 h^s been designated ECSU Day at Southgate Mall. Dr. Edward A. lanni. Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs-Special Programs and Coordinator of the event, stresses the need for such an affair. “We should not isolate ourselves form the public,” advises Ianni.“The purpose of this program,” he adds,“is to inform the community what the university, is about and what it has to offer.” lanni also adds that such an event would be an excellent means of recruiting new students. Faculty, ad ministration, staff, and students are encouraged to par4;icipate by having some type of display. Dr. lanni has already enlisted the services of the Concert Band, the Choir, the Dance Band, and the University Players, which has agreed to perform ex cerpts form the play “Hot 1 Baltimore.” He is anxious to point out that the Math Department will demonstrate the use of two computers, while the Biology Department will conduct tests for high blood pressure. “We had a similiar effort at having ECSU Day last fall,” he recalls.“Things were not organized and the par- ticiation was poor.” As a result of ample time, detailed planning, and publicity, lanni promises a triumphant return to the Southgate Mall, March 19, 1983. Christal Gresham as Cherie and Steve Bly as Bo Decker rehearse a scene from the romantic comedy ^‘BusStop.” m ECSU Reaccredited “We congratulate you on this attainment,” stated Dr. Gordon W. Sweet, Executive Director of the Commission on Colleges, and Dr. Joffre T. Whisenton, Asspciate Execuative Director after notifying Chancellor Marion D.Thorpe that Elizabeth City State University’s ac creditation had been reaf- firmend by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. ECSU was last re accredited in 1971, one year before becoming a con stituent institution of the University of North Carolina system. This means that in 1991, when the University observes its Centennial, it will again be undergoing the re-accreditation process. Based on information and data provided by SAC’s Visitation Team, the Re affirmation Committee was highly complimentary of the quality of ECSU’s programs. the quality of its ad ministration and faculty, and of the overall operation of the university. “While re-accreditation naturally strengthens our request for increased federal, state, and private support, it also undergirds a fine foimdation from which we can now move into new areas,” Chancellor Thorpe stated in making the an nouncement. “As we continue to’fneet the needs of the citizens of nor theastern North Carolina, it is encouraging to know that we will be able to reassure our constituents that our academic programs and other support programs have been reaffirmed in terms of the national standards by which all colleges and imiversities are judged,” Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins, Vice- Chancellor for Academic Affairs, stressed. He took the occasion to indicate that several academic programs are now preparing for ac creditation by the ap propriate specialized ac crediting associations. Herpes: Plaque of the Sexual Revolution Ray Robinson, who won fame as one of history's greatest boxers, got his nickname "Sugar Ray" when a sportswriter de scribed him as the "sweet est fighter...sweet as sugar, Over the past decade, herpes, a highly contagious incurable venereal disease, has emerged and exploded into a full-fledged epidemic in the United States. This highly controversial disease can affect a cross section of Americans, in- cluding students, professionals, and married couples. Herpes has treniendously altered sexual attitudes in America by delivering a numbing blow to our so-called “sexual freedom.” The fear and danger of the risks in volved in getting herpes and having it forever outweigh promiscuity for many people. On a national level herpes is estimated to affect 50 million people in America. However, fortunately at Elizabeth City State University, the epidemic is not a serious problem. Mrs. Jean Robertson, RN for the campus Health Center (In firmary) states that, “It's by Lynnette Watson possible that only four out of every 1200 students at ECSU will develop herpes; there is no major problem here. Consider that ECSU has less than 1600 students on campus and the numbers appear even less significant at ECSU. In many cases, males are less informed than females about the herpes simplex virus. Some students aren’t in formed enough about herpes and are reluctant to go to the health center and ask questions.” There are two types of herpes simplex virus, genital and labial. Associated with genital herpes are itching and/or burning accompanied with inlense pain, making any sort of movement a torture. Labial herpes take the form of sores on or around the mouth, or face, and also is quite painfjjl. The first attack may be the most painful but the severity of the attack can vary from person to person. Many urinary infections are often associated with or mistaken for herpes, so if in doubt go to the campus Health Center (all in formation is kept strictly confidential and cannot be released without the consent of the individual), or see a doctor immediately; he can make an accurate diagnosis. Herpes is extremely dangerous and can cause cancer in women, eye damage (herpes keratitis), emotional trauma, and is often fatal to newborn babies. It is important to take precautions to avoid herpes, so ask questions and become well informed on both types of herpes. Because herpes is subject of much controversy among the students, the Health Center under the supervision of Mrs. Jean Robertson, will host a series of films, lec tures, and open discussions about the herpes simplex virus in an effort for a more informed student body.
