Smokeout coming next month
By Beth Horne
Mike is a 22 year old college
student who has been smoking
for five years. He says •he can
quit anytime he wants.
On November 15 he and all
other puffers will have a day to
prove their willpower at the
Great American Smokeout by
quitting "cold turkey" for 24
hours.
The national Great American
Smokeout is the culmination of
the four-week Fresh Start Quit
Smoking Program created by
the American Cancer Society
(A.C.S.). This year's goal is to
get at least one out of five
smokers to quit smoking fom
midnight to midnight.
"Just under 36 percent of
American smokers attempted
to give up cigarettes on
Smokeout Day 1983," the
A.C.S. reported. Eight percent
of the 36 quit for 24 hours and
over four percent quit for bet
ween one and eleven days after
the program ended, according
to the Gallup organization.
As A Navy Pilot,
The Sky's Your Only Limit.
Nothing else comes close to the excitement of Navy flying. And no other
job gives the same early leadership opportunities and
management responsibility.
As an officer and pilot in the
U.S. Navy, you get immediate
decision-making authority as well
as the practical experience and
technical training you need to make your
career take off.
It starts with Navy flight training which includes
state-of-the-art navigation, aerodynamics, and
computer know-how. It goes on to be one of the
most rewarding careers you can choose.
Those rewards include good pay, over $30,000 after onl
four years, and generous benefits: 30 days' paid vacation e
each year, medical and dental care, low-cost life insurance
coverage, and many other tax-free allowances.
To qualify, you must have a BS or BA, be no older than 28, pass physical
and aptitude exams, qualify for security clearance and be a U.S. citizen.

The Fresh Start Clinic dates
for the Capitol Campus are Oc
tober 18 and 25, and November
1 and 8. Sign-up sheets are in
the nurse's office. The fee is
five dollars for Penn State
University students, faculty,
and staff, and $lO for general
public. Clinic events will take
place in the B.C.A.C. Lounge
-- W-132 Olmsted -- from 7-8
p.m. on those days. These
events are designed to help
Mike and other puffers "kick
the habit."
Actor Larry Hagman, in his
fourth year as National Chair
man, stressed the "Adopt a
Smoker" theme. With this pro
gram any non-puffer or ex
inhaler can sign adoption
papers and help his "adoptee"
quit smoking. Anyone in
terested in this program should
see Jean Kresge or Peg Matin
chek in Health Services, W-102
in the Olmsted Building.
The Great American
Smokeout, first observed in
1977, is an annual nationwide
celebration in its eighth year.

The idea has spread to other
countries such as Canada,
Great Britian, France and
Sweden. The program may turn
into a worldwide no-smoking
day by the end of the 1980 s, ac
cording to the A.C.S.

drums, stream sediment and
water, and establishing a
"hazardous control perimeter"
if additional drums are found.
The Fruehauf sampling will
use ground penetrating radar, a
15 by 4 foot test pit, a "bedrock
monitoring well south of the
site, and testing the stream that
drains toward Capitol Campus,
the report says.
Representatives of Weston
Environmental Engineers, the
West Chester based supervising
contractor for the work, could
