Is “Beauty Of The Week”
By Teresa Simmons ■ t
Post Managing Editor
Each of us has a purpose
in life...much like the
various parts of our body
have their specific func
tions.
People, however, when it
Aoes to choosing a pro
fession or exploring their
purpose on Earth, have
perogatives. There are so
many choices in fact that a
few of us never see our
worth in society.
Greta Eygngeline Miller,
however, is » person who
his revealed to herself and
to God the role she will
undertake. Her prepara
tions have begun and are
backed.by sincere prayer
and strong family ties.
Ms. Miller is presently a
student at Winston-Salem
State University. A sopho
more with a 3.0 grade point
average she has found her
interest lies in the business
arena. "My major is busi
ness administration with a
concentration in business
information systems," she
began. "I love my major
and college life. I’ve
learned a great deal of
responsibility. This style of
life requires disciplining
yourself.”
“Following graduation 1
hope to obtain a job at IBM
or Southern Bell working iff
a position that involves
computer operation and
programming,” Ms. Miller
continued.
Besides ambition and
intelligence, Ms. Miller
also possesses heart. Her
recent Induction into tM
Delta Sigma Tpeta Soror
ity, Inc. at.Winston-Salem
University will give<her A
chance to be active civic
allfPshe feeUf.
“My concern for my
fellow man caused me to
pledge. I feel that by being
an active member of the
sorority, I will be able to*
meet more people and to be
of more servief in the
community.”
Also through her church
activities, Ms Miller
expressed that she popes to
encourage other young
people to become more
concerned about the wel-.
fare of ethers*

Park Baptist Church where
her father Rev. Robert
Miller pastors, our beauty
is involved in.several acti
vities. She is still active in
the Youth Missionary De
partment and the Voices of
Trinity Choir when in
Charlotte.
Even while she attends
college in Winston-Salem
she continues to attend
church each Sunday. “I
think that attending church
regularly enlightens one’s
spiritual life and God
sends His blessings in this
way.”
Ms. Miller most admires
both her father and
mother. Rev. and Mrs.
Robert Miller.
“We enjoy spending time
together, especially during
the summer months. They
have been successful in
leading my brothers, Eric
and Terrence, and me in
the right direction. They
are always there when I
need them and I love them
very much. They have been
a great influence on my life
by showing their love and
concern for me.”
Perhaps because con
cern had been shown to our
beauty throughout her life
when.time came for her to
return that concern it be
came an easy task.
The rising unemploy
ment and crime rates are
two perils of society Ms.
Miller would like vanished.
“Unemployment and the
crime rates parallel. Cryne
increases because of unem
ployment. And unemploy
ment causes people to do
devilish things. If unem
ployment can be solved
then crime will decrease,”
she summarized.
In a more relaxing tone,
our beauty enjoys music,
especially gospel and the
tunes of Michael Jackson,
watching the WSSU Rams
football and basketball
teams in action, reading,
meeting people and swim
ming. (

CIS Offers

Hows A Day
By Karen Parker
Post Staff Writer
According to a fact sheet
released by the staffs of the
Cancer Information Ser
vice (CIS), cancer is the
most feared of all diseases.
That's probably most un
derstandable when one
considers "cancer is a
name given to a cluster of
more than 100 different
diseases. For example,
leukemia is a far different
disease from cancer of the
breast," the fact sheet
stated. “During their life
times, one of four persons
will develop cancer, and it
will affect two of every
three families."

Dr. Diane McGrath, direc
tor of education and com
munication programs ai
the Duke Comprenhensive
Health Center - Duke Uni
versity), explained there
are many people who diag
nose themselves as cancer
victims because they have
a few of the symptoms
"Many times they are too
afraid to contact their doc
tor. and they spend a great
deal of mental energy
worrying unnecessarily
about having cancer," she
pointed out
North Carolina's CIS of
fice, located at Duke Uni
versity in Durham, has a
toll free number for all
North Carolina residents
who prefer contacting a
professional cancer coun
selor before contacting
their doctor The number is
1 800-4-CANCER. Dr. Mc
Grath stated. "The number
should make it easier for us
to help North Carolinians
since it is so easy to re
member." If a person dials
the old number listed in the
white pages of the tele
phone directory under the
heading Cancer Informa
tion. a recording will pro
vide them with the new
number

ceives about 800 calls a
month "Most callers have
concerns about symp
toms. ' emphasized Dr
McGrath. We discuss
symptoms with these call
ers and help them realize
that most cancer symp
toms can also be signs of
other, noncancerous
medical problems We en
courage every caller who's
concerned about symptoms
to see his or her doctor."
CIS seeks to bridge the
communication gap which
often exists between the
physician or medical insti
tution and the cancer pa
tient or family, or the
public at risk to cancer
nuwji §m ui uie
population of the United
States lives in regions
served by regional CIS of
fices. According to Dr
McGrath, the program
started after congressional
members decided more in
formation about cancer
needed to be disseminated
to the public The North
Carolina CIS office opened
in May, 1976.
Residents in any of the
state's 100 counties can get
information related to can
