Since we are coming into the season
when most of us spend as much time
as we can outdoors in the sunlight, we
need some hints to help us avoid the
discomforts and dangers of over
exposure.
Chronic exposure to sunlight has an
aging affect on the skin and some of
the changes to the damaged skin are
disturbing, ft is important that we are
particularly careful not to exceed our
tolerance to the sunlight.
Persons differ greatly in their
PRING WEEK
Contests! Prizes! Music! All this and
much, much more as the Hazleton
Campus held Spring Week from April
16 through April 20. Spring Week is a
series of events sponsored by the
Student Union Board (5.U.8.) This
year, the First Annual Jello- Slurping
Contest was held in the Commons on
Monday, April 16. The contest was run
as a relay race with 3 teams consisting
of 10 members each.
Each person on the team had to
"slurp” 4 ounces of jello while them,
hands were behind their back. The
team that completed this feat in the
least amount of time was the winner.
This year the winners were 3rd floor
guys with Doug "Ku Klux Klan”
Wright the captain. Other team
members were Mike Good (wino),
Craig Warner (fireman), Brian Winter
(judge). Dale Garges (lumberjack),
Dave Fulmer (sheik), Jim Dunnie
(fisherman), Bill Snyder (sailor), Bob
Chulock (construction worker), John
"Killer" Zawatsky (intellect), and
Brad Altemose (spirit of death). The
2nd place captain was Megan Kresge
and 3rd place captain was Mr.
Concannon. Third floor guys won a

important that we knowour skin type
and give it as much protection as we
can. Commercial, preparations are
meant to give at least partial protec

repeated particularly after being in
water.
Gradual exposure to the sun will
also prevent burning. At noon the sun

prizes.
On Tuesday, April 17, a Brass
Chorale was featured in the Commons.
The chorale was run by James
Benshoof, Assistant Professor of
Music at University Park. About
twenty people made up the chorale
and they played both classical and
contemporary pieces.
Wednesday, April 18 was Apathy
Day and a concert featuring “Fly By
Night." Apathy Day, for all of you who
didn’t know what it meant, was a day
when you were not supposed to go to
class. Apparently, though, many
instructors must have been pleased to
know that we have such dedicated
students on campus.
The highlight of Spring Week
proved to be the concert Wednesday
night in the physical education
building. The group featured was "Fly
By Night.” a rock band from Southern
Pennsylvania. The five-member band
played selections from ZZ Tp, Pure
Prairie League, Little Feat, and many
other performers as well as several of
their own songs. They currently have a
sunburn and it is true that you might
burn severely on a hazy or overcast
day, when a surprising amount of the
sunburn rays may filter through.
Persons taking certain medications
should be cautious about the initial
exposure. Diuretics and Tetracycline
are two of such photosensitizing
drugs. Some deodorant soaps also
contain photosenstitizing materials
(Safeguard, Phase 11, Lifebuoy, Zest
and Irish Spring).
Mild sunburn may be relieved frith a
dusting of talcum powder or with cool

single out entitled “Wrecked My
Room” which has been played in radio
stations throughout Maryland and
Pennsylvania.
Some of their other songs include
“Troubadour," “No Sweat," “Face
the Muzak," and “Rockers Lament."
The band has won several awards and
is definitely building a solid reputa
tion.
The Student Union Board would like
to thank Kathy Peters for her efforts in
making the concert possible. It was a
great success!
Thursday, April 19, was the
infamous Agony Hill Climb. The
competition started at the bottom of
the hill with 17 participants. The object
is to be the first one at the top of the
hill in the least amount of time. Finals
for the competition were held on
Friday. The winner was Chris DeFusco
(3rd floor guys) with a time of 15
seconds. Chris won an. “1 Survived
Agony” t-shirt.

Cultural Series" presented the movie

Hall lobby. Immediately following the
movie was an RHC sponsored dance.

Preparations with an anesthetic,
applied locally, for relief of the bum
discomfort, should be used sparingly,
since they are sensitizing agents and
may increase the severity of the
resultant burn. Applications of
compresses of cold whole milk should
give relief for the more severe bum
