By John Hargleroad 11, M.D. Director, University Health Service About this time every year, the lawns, roofs and pool edges are crowded with men and women in various states of dress or undress soaking up the spring and summer sunshine. They are seek ing that nice golden tan that compliments their clothes and makes them look so alive and healthy. Healthy? Well yes, sunshine does help in the production of vitamin D and the prevention of rickets, but that’s not really a problem today. Nope, our culture has decided that cream complexions are out and tan is in. The more the better” is the motto and that applies to the tan, not the bathing suit. The only trouble is that the tan at 20 is often wrinkles and skin cancer at 40, and that’s not pretty. forum It used to be that skin cancers were seen in farmers and fisher-folk who spent their lifetimes in the sun. Of course, the cancers then were seen on the backs of the hands, neck and faces because that is where old sol hit them. Somewhere in the electromagnetic spectrum between x-ray 9 and visible light lies the region of ultraviolet radiaion. In general, the shorter the wave length, the greater the energy or potential energy. Fortunately, the ozone layer and atmo sphere filter out the shorter, more dangerous rays of the sun, so ultraviolet rays are the &4 * reader opinion Be a columnist! Don’t waste your summer.

Paper degrees Thursday’s editiorial on commeneifhent speakers con tained some valid points, but the suggestion that Penn State consider giving honoraTy degrefl* is not one of them.

This is clearly shown by Seton Hall’s award to President ;Reagan, Temple s award to Julius Erving, Harvard’s award to Lech Walesa, shortest rays that strike'the earth’s surface in any appreciable amount;?. Ultraviolet radiation has both acute and long term effects when it strikes the body. The acute ' effects are sunburn, drug-induced photo-sensitiv ity and tanning. The long-term effects on skin are dermatoses, basal and squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melamona, altered immune respones, lichenification or aging, and actinic keratoses. Ultraviolet is also damaging to the retina of the eye. ; Even though these harmful effects are known to occur, many people are going to be exposed to the sun either voluntarily or of necessity. What can be done? - . Basic to a discussion of the sunburn reaction is - an understanding of the MiE.D. (minimal erythe ma dose). The M.E.D. isthe amount of ultravio let energy required to produce a minimal perceptable redness without pain on unprotected For the average white person, this translates to 10 to 20 minutes of sunlight exposure, depending on latitude, altitude, cloud cover, wind velocity and other envirionmental factros. More sensitive individuals (those of Celtic origin, blonds, red heads, light colored eyes,or freckles) are known to have much lower M.E.D.’s and are therefore particularly susceptible damaging effect of solar radiation. If the fr|?E.D. is exceeded, the customary signs and symptoms of a burn (ede ma, pain, blistering, etc.lfollow. If however, exposure more limited, melimn is mobilized in the cells of the skin and are deposited in the epidermis, increasing the MED. for that individual. This tanning process takes three to seven da#; on average.

There are also physical sunscreens that are opaque that can be applied to the skin, such as titanium oxide, - zinc oxide and ferric chloride. These are often messy and unacceptable. There are other colorless sunscreens that can be applied that are more acceptable. These are Chemicals that absorb ultraviolet rays, and they protect the skin.

He screams about the need for democracy, yet he supported elections that included only the right half of the political spectrum. The United States is contributing daily to the suffering of Central Americans by supporting wealthy status quo elements and by waging a war against the reform-minded 'people of Central America. The poor of Central America support a socialist form of economic development because the free market path has failed to produce results. In a land where the wealth and resources are controlled by a rich elite and foreign multi-na tionals, it is only commonsense for workers and peasants to want a socialist form of government. Unfortunately, Reagan wants to destroy these progressive people because Americans naively believe that all leftists are Russian controlled. Because many poor Central Americans have chosen to fight for the socialist choice denied to them, they are being oppressed by Reagan and his. military machine. More and more U.S. aid and forces are going to Central America in order to impose our free market economy on these people. Soon U.S. combat troops will be sent because of an unwillingness on the part of Salva dorian troops to fight anymore. Reagan is so rabidly anti-communist that he is willing to arm murderers Ike the Somocistas, the corrupt Salvadorian military, and the dictators in Guatamala regardless of their human rights Via oo jotva , q c noi ?, ' s 1 " ' ;OCCC ' eo mmenA» i6 fctU runt'^* P er«'a 1f ' eT lp e to^.

The United States has “loaned” helicopters and jets to El Salvador, complete with U.S. pilots. Reagan has the U.S. Salvadorian advisers running the civil war by making up the battle plans and giving the orders, and he has increased our military presence in neighboring states. It is only a matter of time before U.S. troops go to Central America to fight Reagan's holy war. Perhaps soon after he wins the next election, you will get your papers ordering you to kill your Central American brothers. The question is not whether there is a “Marxist threat” in the region (whether El Salvador choses a socialist or a capitalist economic system is none of our business). The question is, why is our military in the region at all? Reagan s real reason for the war must be to impose our free market system (read economic exploitation) on the people of Central America. We must stop Reagan’s escalation of the war before we fall into another Viet Nam war. For those concerned about the U.S. war against Central America there will be a national demon stration in Washington, D.C. on July 2. The demonstration is being coordinated locally by John Black and 1199 P of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Workers. They are sponsoring round trip bus tickets for $l5. If you are concerned with peace and justice in Central America, please come out on July 2 and show your opposition to Reagan’s militarism. s Xper ience , Septe *be r , ,1 t 0 Present 1 ' Une - 1980 to September, , 98l / u u " e ’ 1979 to June . 1980 Pe *soh al °fiJECTIVE ‘9Bl-1983 197 5-1979 fiacf, eio TofA l ‘ nla Slate Uni ,att sf * *■» ■ , - h -^!52«-^SSSr Pr esently Sylvania s *a
