Meredith Health Fair
Sparks Awareness
was
by Linda Sellers
Delores Jackson
surprised.
"I came in at 10 and it was
just one person after another.
It’s been very busy all day."
Ms. Jackson was one of the
many community volunteers
who contributed their sen/lces
April 23 to the Meredith Health
Fair, which was co-sponsored
by WRAL-7V.
Ms. Jackson, who
performed anemia testing,
volunteered because she Is
anemic herself. “I feel a lot of
people avoid medical testing
because of expense. I vi^ld
come here my^f because of
the great variety of tests
Screenings w^ glveri:. In
height, weight, podlaUy,
blood pressure, vision,
anemia, and blood chemistry
analysis. There was also a
demonstration of CPR, a
puppet show, and an exhibit
on nutrition.
Many Meredith students
attended the fair. One
Meredith student, Martha
King, reflected, *'l liked that
they told you if you were
overweight or underweight for
your size.”
To visit the screening
booths was an easy
procedure. Visitors filled out a
form on their medical history
and turned a test result form
in before leaving so that their
results could be sent In the
nrBll.
According to Ms. Helena
Allen, campus site
coordinator for the fair, things
went smoothly during the day.
“The health fair would not
work without so many
contributors and volunteers,”
she commented.

Albert Long Speaks
by Karen Ann Carlton
How many people listen to
the lyrics of their favorite
songs - I mean really listen?
Chances are that those people
who were at MCA’s Spring
Forum on Tuesday night, April
20, pay better attention to
their music now. Albert Long
spoke on the demonic
overtones present In some
rock music.
Long graduated from the
University of North Carolina in
Chapel Hilt In 1957 with
athletic letters in four sports.
A professional speaker, he
travels around doing various
types of seminars. For the
past eight nx)nths he has been
researching the subject of
Satanism as portrayed In rock
music.
After a brief Introduction of
himself, Long said, “I am
scared.” He is scared because
these so-called harmless
-songs which concentrate on
violence and sexual
perversion, among other
things, are taking this country
by storm and no one seems to
care. He has decided that it is
his job to care, and he intends
to fight both the music itself
and the people’s attitudes
toward it. Long stresses the
fact that he Is not leading a
crusade to get people to burn
all of their albums. His
purpose is merely to expose
the facts and inform, so that
people can make up their own
minds.
Convinced that Satan is

Grubbs Receives Doctorate
Carolyn Grubbs, professor
of history, has completed her
doctoral work and will
graduate May 15 from North
Carolina State University.
Her degree is a Doctorate of
Education in the area of
curriculum and instruction
with specialty In history
education.
She began her doctoral wor1
six years ago while wording
full-time at Meredith. She is
grateful to Meredith for
allowing her time off from
committee assignments while
working on her doctorate.
Dr. Grubbs received her
undergraduate degree from
Meredith College and her
masters degree from Duke
University. She came to teach
at Meredith in 1963 with plans
to work on her doctorate at
that point. It was during this
time, however, that she met
Dr. Frank Grubbs and
marriage plans took the place
of doctoral studies. She
waited on her doctoral work to
have two children, who are
now in public schools.
