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.
Don Snyder
Chairman, Social Affairs

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withdrawn by the White House.

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.

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.
