In his proclama tion. the eovernor stated that a comprehensive public health system combined with good health habits are the major defenses North Carolinians liave against disease, chronic illnesses and their resulting personal and financial burdens. According to state health director Dr, Ronald Levine, North Carolina has an excellent public health system that provides health care to thousands of adults and children each vear. "But the real key to living happier, healthier lives is prevention," he said, "Every year, thousands of people fall victim lo heart disease, accidents, environ mental problems, and chronic illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease. Many of these problems could have been prevented or better controlled through good health practices." Levine said that a healthy lifestyle includes nutritious food, regular exercise, and periodic checkups for potential health problems % -/■ Dry ice does not melt.

That’s why health education and Public Health Week are so important.” wm CHARLOTTE - Like so many of his counterparts across the nation, Johnson C. Smith University admis sions director Moses Jones is sitting on the hot seat. The baby-boom generation has graduated into the working world leaving a smaller pool of students for colleges to recruit from for the next 15 years. For Jones, the challenge is even greater as Johnson C. Smith University initiated the first of several steps that upgrade the admissions standards of potential Smith students. “We are being very ag gressive in going after the quality student,” explains Jones. “The money available for academic scholarships alone has been increased by $250,000 this year.” Much of the increase came from the support of the Duke Endowment scholars program as well as an increase in support from the Charlotte business community. A major boost in scholarship funds will come with the final phase of the JCSU Master Plan that calls for an academic en dowment campaign in the fall., Money alone will not guarantee success in the highly competitive recruit ing wars waged , for post baby boom students. “Support in recruiting students comes from all areas of the campus,” pointed out Jones, "Our historic strength has always been the genuine family setting. Students are impressed by the alumni actively involved in recruiting as well as the support our faculty and staff show once they arrive at Smith,” While the family grape vine has always served a vital role, the admissions office has initiated an ex tensive recruiting plan that included revising bro chures, developing search pieces, producing audio- vifjual recruiting shows and targeting potential students through the SAT and ACT Student Search lists. The strategy has shown dramatic benefits. "Last year we received 850 applicants by the end of June,” explained Jones, "We have 1,150 now in hand with a healthy number arriving daily. But what is most important, the overall quality of the applicants is up measurably.” Part of new President Robert L. Albright’s plans for JCSU involved re cruiting a strong core of out standing students to act as a stimulus for both student and faculty efforts. “We’ve cast a critical eye on all academic programs with the view of making the necessary adjustments in the curricula to better prepare Smith students for the needs of today’s highly competitive workplace,” pointed out Dr, Albright. “Our new era of academic excellence must be based on reality with an eye squarely on the needs of the ap proaching 21st century,” “We've succeeded in attracting the gifted core,” said Jones of the next fall’s freshman class, "We’ve never had as many recruits score 1100 and better on the SAT,” 1 VJiS' nary oanenaers, stage- CASINO WORKERS ON STRIKE-Las Vegas, hands and musicians picketed three dozen hotel-casinos April 2 In a massive gambling Industry walkout.
