The month will bring together the campus' 13 Hispanic and Latino student groups and will feature activities and events that highlight the diversity in the stu dents' cultures and countries. All students are encouraged to take advantage of these activi ties and cultural programs, said Cynthia Roman, president of Sigma lota Alpha Sorority Inc., Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. "We want people to learn about our culture," Roman said. "In our culture, the groups have a lot of diversity." Sigma lota Alpha hosted its first event Friday. "Viernes Gigante" was a variety show filled with contests and games that explained different areas of Hispanic culture. "Throughout the year, people aren't aware of what is happen ing in Hispanic countries," Tere sa Perez, Latino Caucus treasur er, said. "This helps make them aware." Roman said Hispanics and Latinos share the Spanish lan guage but have many differ ences. "We're all united through the same language, but at the same time there's different aspects to each culture," Roman said. "But that's the beauty of it we're always learning from one anoth er." Members from Hispanic and Latino groups are involved with this month's activities.

PSU, Michigan State to draw blood By ROBIN SMITH Collegian Staff Writer Before Penn State and Michigan State compete on the gridiron, they will face off in the blood-bath known as the fifth annual Penn State -Michigan State Blood Donor Challenge. Today, the first of 15 blood dri ves will be held at Simmons Hall. Locations will change from day to day, and coordinators hope to see more than 2,000 students donate during the next 12 days. The winning school will be announced in a special ceremony during the Nov. 28 game. Penn State has won the last three chal lenges. Penn State faces an obstacle this year because of HUB renovations. In past years, blood drives at the HUB have been especially produc tive because of the number of donors attracted, said Edwin Chan, drive coordinator of the Penn State Newest Initiates $5BB PIZZA Expires: 11/30/98 Student Red Cross Club. However, construction has displaced those HUB drives. "We'll attr ict less walk-in donors," he saw. The challenge was created as a way to prepare for the final six weeks of the year, a time when fewer people donate blood because of the holidays, said Connie Schroeder, campus coordinator for American Red Cross blood ser vices. Penn State's goal of 1,830 pints of blood will offer a two-day supply for 85 regional hospitals. "To me, the winners are the peo ple who get the blood," Schroeder said. The challenge was developed 15 years ago between Penn State and its football rival, the University of Pittsburgh. The series ended when Penn State joined the Big Ten and Michi gan State was chosen as Penn State's new competitor because ~:• Everyone Is Welcome to Attend GIREIEU SING 1198 13VCAIDWAY MEETS HCI_MVOCL lil ,i-..........-- 7.0 .. - ........ / 7 : , [ 7, 7 7 ,r m, 7 1-- i r i .--, , \ ..,,,,, __-• --„, ~.._....., , __. • ____- i ...-,-,. • ~ ____ _ _: • _ • IE ILI 0 -__ -4 P - 1 3' Sunday Nov. 115, 1998 CN I ? 2:00 p.m. at Eisenhower Auditorium • 4,..„ ,-• S 4 Tickets are available in the I-4113 f? from Nov. 4-13 and at the door 4-H11%.1 *- 4 "Reminder to organizations: Urns Rehearsals will be held in the HUB Ballroom Nov 10th and 12th 4- Plata 11 Fibroid Tumors • 1 in 5 women will develop fibroid tumors, and the condition is more common in Slack women breast Cancer • 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime and it is the 2 04 leading cause of death due to cancer in Black women Endometriosis • 1 in 9 women will develop endometriosis, and it is commonly misdiagnosed BLACK WOMEN.

Sponsored by the Cross-Cultural Health Program their football game falls near the end of the season and the schools have similar demographics. In addition to university compe tition, honors are awarded to cam pus organizations that compete in three categories small groups, large groups and greek organiza tions. "(Because of the competition) we got a few hundred pints that we wouldn't have had," Schroeder said. In addition to demonstrating school spirit, participation in the challenge allows students to learn about their health and save lives. Schroeder urged first-time donors and people who are unsure if they meet donation requirements to come to the drives. The challenge is a community effort involving various student groups and area businesses. Most of the food and raffle prizes given to donors are donated by area businesses. S ir A • 4 i i ' s r-+ ee
