Sauntering through the halls of the Human Development Building, men and women in search of good physical health traveled from area to area anticipating their next test of blood type/Rh factor or visual acuity. On Friday and Saturday, the nursing department, in collaboration with the College of Human Development and area health agencies, sponsored a health fair that offered free health screenings and other health consciousness promoters. "There's a lot of areas in health that you should keep tabs on," said Cyril Kapinus, a health fair participant and a University financial officer. Kapinus said he came to the health fair "to take tests that you would ordinarily : have at check-up time." The health fair featured diagnostic .tests intended to assess participants' physical condition. Volunteers from health professions reviewed the results and recommended marginal testing, said Laurie Gunter, professor of nursing and human development. Walk-A-Thon participants raise $6OO for local March of Dimes By ANDRIJA SILICH Collegian Staff Writer Yesterday afternoon 12 people started the Walk America Walk-A-Thon sponsored by the March of Dimes. Several hours later all the participants crossed the finish line, successfully _completing the 12-mile loop. • Aided by Gamma Sigma Sigma service sorority and Circle K, • the charity raised at least $6OO, said Jack Lux, area chairman • for the walk-a-thon. "Without their help we would have been lost," Lux said Although the number of walkers was a disappointment, Patty Owens, president of Gamma Sigma Sigma service sorority, 'said, "It wasn't such a disappointing thing because it was the first year. There's a lot to be learned from a first year at least it got started. Now that we have all the details like setting -up checkpoints and forming the route ; we .can concentrate on getting more participants." William Gahret, area chairman for the March of Dimes, said, "Next year we want to concentrate more on the Centre County area rather than just the University. Lux said next year's walk may start in Bellefonte and finish in State College. This may help generate support from sur .l<punding areas, he said. • People may have thought it was a University fundraiser af•filiated with local fraternities or sororities, he said, and the '•lylarch of Dimes wants to make it clear for next year's walk ;that it is not exclusively for University students but is open to ?,all Centre County citizens. One thing that all participants seemed to agree on was that humor magazine Published by students . of The Pennsylvania State University Penn State's founded 1909 'Next year they should go to the high schools for support.

"We just found out about other events, the Special Olympics, other walk-a-thons, Movin' On, etc.," Gahret said. "It was just too late to do anything about it." Among the participants was Lynn Friedgen, a member of Gamma Sigma Sigma. Friedgen ran about half of the course and walked the rest. Next year she hopes to run the whole course. She said she was very disappointed to see such a small turnout of participants. "Nekt year they should go to the high schools for support," she said.

Contests wind up dairy exposition By SHARI MARCUS Collegian Staff Writer Dressed in white, participants in Saturday's Dairy Exposition "Show Day" silently led their cattle into the ring to be scrutinized by the judges. The next few minutes concluded six weeks of preparation. The students were evaluated on fitting, the appearance of the animal and showing, or the presentation of the animal. Past showing experience and breed variety were also taken into account. More than 100 University students, including many non-agriculture ma jors, competed in the fitting and show ing contests at the campus dairy barns. The event was sponsored by the Dairy Science Club. A month and a half ago; the partici pating students drew lots for cows from the University dairy herds. Long hours were spent preparing the animals for the show. Prior to competition, each animal had to be washed several times, brushed heavi ly to remove excess winter coat hair and bleached to remove stains. All hoofs had to be cleaned and polished and each animal had to be carefully On Sale Now Nittany News Book Shop 108 W. College Ave. Graham's 103 S. Allen St. Kaye's Korner 200 S.

"The more you do it, the more you learn," said David Livermore (9th dairy production), who participted in the show. Each cow had to be trained to "set up" so that the foot nearest the judge was slightly forward allowing the fore and rear udders to be seen. Showing cattle "takes\ the will ingness to put in some time," Liv ermore said. Five breeds of dairy cows were shown: Aryshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein and Jersey. Win ners from each showing set of eight competed again in the all-around competitions that. afternoon. The Amateur Champion Showman was Linda Webster (6th-dairy produc tion) and the Amateur Champion Fit ter was Sue Brandt (12th-marketing). An amateur is defined as a showman without experience in competition. Jim Harding (9th-agriculture busi ness management) was the All- Around Grand Champion winning • both the All-Around Showing and Fit ting competitions. Expo judge Peter Witmer, of the class of 1974 said, "It came down to some really tough decisions. The win ners put in a lot of hard work, and it was obvious." The 57th annual Dairy Exposition was dedicated to John 0. Almquist, a professor of dairy science at the Uni versity who was recently awarded the Wolf Foundation Award for outstand ing research. "Show Day" also featured several special events including celebrity, sorority and independent milking, fra ternity milk chugging and calf dress ing contests. Joel Johnson and Bob Thomas, members of the University. wrestling team, won the celebrity milking con test with four pounds of milk in five minutes. They just slightly edged out their opponents, Heather Carmichael and Jon Almquist, members of the University track teams. "I had a slow start," Almquist said The sorority milking contest was won by Kappa Kappa Gamma sorori ty. Kappa Alpha Theta sorority came in second and Kappa Delta sorority placed third. "It was a lot easier than I thought it would be," said Lowrie MacDonald (13th-spanish), a member of Kappa Delta. tibiimde Photo by Mlcah Grabonsteln Fght Muscular Dystrophy ex ua,cula ir GeW °.\\4'\\4 5112' Science, Technology, and Society Program Illich is known throughout the world as a provocative, innovative conceptualist.
