By Young boyang A pilgrimage to the archives of History has always been a journey in quest for knowledge of self and environment. From February 1, to 23, the Black Students' Union in liaison with the Student Activities Office at Capitol Campus, organized a Black Arts - and Science Festival in celebration of Black History Month. The festival was described as a "Journey Into Enlightenment"; a journey in search for, and in promotion of, black awareness on campus and in the surrounding community; a journey to bridge the gap between races. Indeed, such a journey took the organizers to different parts of Pennsylvania, Alabama, Virginia, New York, South Africa, and Nigeria. About 15 activities ranging from lectures, concerts, and dinners, to dances, art exhibits, and film shows were presented. Dr. Vernal G. Cave, a New York physician, spoke on the "Tuskegee, Alabama Syphilis Testing on Black Males." This was an incident in which black males in Tuskegee, Alabama were used without their knowledge or consent as "guinea pigs" in experiments on syphilis. They were left untreated after the experiments, Dr. Cave said. Topics of other lectures included: "South Africa" by Mr. Clem Gilpin, and "Education" by Commissioner Edward W. Robinson. The Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Hon. C. Delores Tucker, also spoke on the "Role of Women." The internationally famous Hampton Institute Choir presented a marvelous concert on black heritage in American music. Hepatitis Reported Two Capitol Campus employees - a dishwasher in the Dining Hall and a library worker - have contacted cases of infectious hepatitis, according to the Campus Health Service and the Office of Student Affairs. However, an investigation into this matter by the Campus and the Pennsylvania Department of Health has concluded that there is "no relationship whatever" between these two cases. According to Dr. Jerry South, Director of Student Affairs, _Campus officials first learned of the cafeteria worker's illness on Tuesday, February 15. A memo was sent to all residence hall students informing them of this fact, and warning them that they may have had contact with this person. It stated, however, that "there is very little need for concern about the spread of this disease", and requested ihat students who wished an examination or innoculation contact their personal physicians. Dr. South said that the Department of Health recommended against a mass innoculation program because transmission of hepatitis is through "close physical contact", which, in this case, was unlikely. On February 16, however, another memo was distributed to residence hall students, informing them that, if they wished, they could obtain gamma globulin shots for hepatitis at the Nurse's Office. These shots were being provided in response to requests from students who wished to obtain them, but were unable to see their own physicians, Dr. South said. The second case of the disease was discovered this past Tuesday, February 22. However, it has been concluded that the two cases are totally unrelated, and as yet there has been no report of any spread of the infection to anyone else. So far, the Campus Health Service has acquired approximately 350 doses of gamma globulin. About 250 students have received innoculations. The Health Service is charging students two dollars for these shots, which, Dr. South said, is below the cost of obtaining them. He said that the same shots, at University Park, would cost five dollars. According to Dr. South, student reaction until now has been limited, mostly confined to requests for information or innoculations. Anyone needing any information about this should contact the Campus Health Service, at 787-7769.
