Page 2 To The Editor NOSTALGIA WEEK To the Editors, I'd like to formally thank all the people who made Nostalgia Week a success. The Capitolist and WZAP did a great job in publicity and creating the atmosphere for the week. The Student Activities Office provided guidance and moral support when needed, which was pretty often. Housing and Food Services and Public Information Office gave us a helping hand in several events. However, the week would not have run as smoothly or been as enjoyable as it was without the help of all the Social Committee members and the many individuals who volunteered to help. Congratulations to Mike and Donette for winning the dance marathon. The five other couples also deserve credit and recognition for their great endurance, especially Jim and Maureen (who finished second). The WZAP DJ's didn't get much sleep that week-end either, but they did an outstanding job to make the marathon successful. Of course, the week really depended on the participation of the student body. I'm glad to say that the apathy that exists on campus wasn't present during Nostalgia Week. I hope this enthusiasm and cooperation will continue through the rest of the year.

Cm GAMMA lOTA NEWS by Bob Chaapel According to U.S. Senate staff analysts, the Nixon Administration, in its drive for economy, has impounded, cut, or otherwise blocked a half-dozen congressionally approved programs aimed primarily at health, job, and school benefits for Vietnam veterans. The Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, headed by Sen. Vance Hartke, plans to relaunch one such program that was vetoed by President Nixon last October. The program, a $lO3 million VA health care expansion act, is designed to enlarge VA hospital staffs, give free care to dependents of the totally disabled, and boost care to black veterans suffering from sickle cell anemia. One particular cut, ordered by the Office of Management and Budget, was a proposed $l6O million reduction in physical disability payments, primarily affecting disabled Vietnam veterans, including amputees. This reduction could have cut benefits for some Vietnam amputees by as much as 60%. Amid public uproar and dismay, this proposed cut was withdrawn by the White House.

I:I 11191 ti ;I a 54711; I ( 4. * it p UELEZO WEUSI by Deloras Garrison The members of the Black Student Union of Penn State Capitol Campus would like to introduce to the Capitolist reader a new weekly column "Black Expression." This is the first of many articles to be presented by the Black Student Union. The basic intent behind this series is to further acquaint you, the reader, with the intricacies of black expression. The phrase which is found under the insignia "Uelezo Wa Watu Weusi" is Swahili meaning the expression of black people. The bird is called the Phoenix, a mythical Egyptian bird which has high spiritual value. This bird was to have been consumed in fire by its own act only to rise in youthful freshness from its own ashes. Here it symbolizes black people rising out of thier own ashes, being reborn, possessing new life. In the middle you can see the ankh, the Egyptian symbol for life. These symbols are joined together to protect the land from which it came, the continent of Africa. Another way blacks have expressed themselves is through the Black Peoples flag, symbolized by the tricolors of red, black and green. This flag was designed in 1920 by Marcus Garvey as part of the Declaration of Rights of Black People of the World. Each color has a special meaning: red stands for blood sacrificed, black - stands for the People, and green - stands for the Land that they toiled. Each week we will give the reader a different view of black expression. All comments are welcomed. ** * * B.S.U.

"We'd like to see your face in the place!" Soul Food Called Good For The 'Soul' By Medic The following article is reprinted with permission of John H. Johnson, editor & publisher of "Jet" Magazine. A new wrinkle has been added to the chitlin' controversy. Dr. Derrick Jeliffe, professor at the University of California at Los Angeles School of Public Health, concluded a study last week noting that "hog jowls, chitterlings and catfish are not only inexpensive, but perhaps are more nitritious than higher-'status cuts of meat." Jeliffe said the typical corn products (grits and corn pone) provide the proper protein and amino acid balance when combined with the traditional legumes, pinto beans and black-eyed peas. It has been said by other physicians that soul food, because of its high salt content, causes high blood pressure.
