Med Center honors past, celebrates future

‘Birthday party’ rekindles
memories of 30 years ago

4,000 copies
of new guide
are distributed

By MYRNA MARCA
Staff Writer

About 4,000 copies of a new UK Student
Health Service handbook are being distrib-
uted to residence halls in hopes of educating
students about contraceptives, Acquired Im-
mune Deﬁciency, self-esteem and stress.

The need for a new handbook was real-
ized a year ago and since then, SHS staff
members have worked to write one that is
educational and yet “user—friendly,” said
Jean Cox. SHS administrator.

Cartoons and light reading help to make
the handbook a fun educational tool.

“We tried to put in serious information
but we tried to keep it lighthearted, because
we’re addressing it to students. That's the
reason for the cartoons (and) the light
touch,” Cox said. “It’s a serious business
but we don't take ourselves too seriously.”

The purpose of the new handbook is to
expand on topics from the old brochure,
which included administrative information
such as the beneﬁts of a health fee, the im-
portance of health insurance, and SHS’s
hours.

“We felt like we wanted to go beyond
that," Cox said. “We decided this was an
opportunity to get something out to the stu—
dents that we wanted them to keep infor-
mation that tells them what to do when a va-
riety of things happen to them or that
they’re concerned about.”

In the major section of the handbook,
Taking Care of Yourself, there is informa-
tion about STDs (sexually transmitted dis-
eases), diet. mental health and self-
examinations. It also stresses the impor-
tance of prevention.

The book is geared towards practicality,
said Mary Brinkman, SHS director of health
education.

One advantage with the current handbook
is that the material won‘t be outdated too
soon.

All of the medical information will be
just as accurate today as it will be in a few
years, Cox said.

The guide is meant to be a reference
book for students, Cox said, adding that she
gave each of her three daughters a copy.

So far, feedback has been positive, Bn'nk-
man said.

People from all areas of the Albert B.
Chandler Medical Center contributed to the
book including inﬂuence from Public Af-
fairs and a clinical therapist.

Ian Vincent had a nightmare last week.
He was sitting next to his roommate on a
plane bound for Iraq. They tried to convince
everyone that they didn't belong on the
plane, but no one would let them out.

Their yells for help were drowned out by
the sounds of war and of people dying.

Vincent, an accounting junior, said he is
never going to see that nightmare come
true.

dren of US. diplomats, left Baghdad by car.

three unidentified white males were de-
tained. The women were forced to leave
their husbands behind because Iraq says the
envoys have lost their diplomatic immunity
and will be detained as hostages.

meet Thursday in Jordan with Iraqi Foreign
Minister Tariq Ali]. “to engage in a full ex-
