"It is a pleasure to join PSU's fine faculty and administra tion." Robinson comes to Pem broke State with plenty of basketball experience. At Mars Hill, she was selected as the top woman college basket ball athlete for the state of North Carolina in 1977 and was awarded the prestigious June P. Galloway Scholarship Award by the NCAIAW (North Carolina Association of Inter collegiate Athletics for Women).

"It's like a dream come true to have the opportunity to be the head of PSU's women's cage team. Ever since I first went to college, I knew I wanted to coach and teach and that's where I set my goals." Football Injuries It's that time of year again; the annual fall rites of the American male. The game of running, jumping, tackling, falling, bruises, cuts, sprains, pains - collectively known as football ? is played everywhere by everybody from "peewees" to "pros." While most of the injuries aren't serious there are some things you can do to help pro tect yourself and make your participation in the game more enjoyable.

Anderson will serve as assistant registrar for voters and will have registration books available from 9 a Jii. until 5 p.m. in Hot Springs. He will also register voters by appointment through Sept. 3. amination is a must before preparing to go out for football to make sure there is no physical condition that could prove harmful. That is to pro tect your health. Second, proper physical conditioning, getting in shape, hardens the body and allows you to play longer without tir ing, helping to prevent injury. Coaches and team physicians agree that many injuries oc cur when a player is tiring and less alert. A minimum of three weeks exercising and condi tioning is recommended prior to the first game of the season. Third, precautions should be taken ?** ost the extreme heat of the early days of prac tice, usually during the "dog days" of August. Many teams now schedule their hot weather workouts in the early morning and late afternoon to avoid the hottest time of the day. Water should always be available during these ses sions because it is necessary to replace the body fluids lost through sweating. Salt is also important to replace, either through salt tablets or by salting food heavily during meals. One of the most important reasons these precautions are necessary is to prevent heat stroke which can be extremely dangerous. Heat stroke occurs when the body's cooling mechanism, the evaporation of sweat from the skin, ceases to function. When this occurs, the body temperature can rise as much as 7.4 degrees (from a normal of 96.6 to 106) in 20 minutes and can cause kidney, liver, or brain damage. Football can be an en joyable game but proper con ditioning is important to enjoy the game to its fullest.
