Sandra Juarez, director of per sonal health at the Brazos County Health Department, said in a Feb. 22 article in The Battalion that the mea sles symptoms are similar to those of the flu. The measles are also character ized by the appearance of a red pin point-like rash that could easily be confused for another rash, Juarez said. The immunization schedule for measles is a two-dose routine with the first vaccine administered at age 15 months and the second dose be tween ages 4 to 6. According to the Centers for Dis ease Control of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Texas State Department of Health, the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee has certain guidelines for immunization. Anyone who has had the measles and has recovered and anyone who was born before 1957 is probably im mune from ever contracting measles again. Persons who have never had the measles or have not had a second dose of measles vaccine since 1980 are strongly advised to come to the health center or see another physi cian for consideration for a dose of the measles vaccine as soon as possi ble. Students have the option to re ceive the measles-only vaccine for $12 or the combination of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine for $26.

The explosion and damage caused from the explosion have not affected daily operations in the building, he said. is an important part of freedom in American society. “Not everyone succeeds, but the opportunity is there,†Biles said.

The five were accused of defacing a synagogue and chasing African-Americans and Hispanics from a park named after a Confederate general in 1988. “We’re gratified that the American judicial sys tem is working and that the people have affirmed that they will not accept hate crimes or violence directed at any group Dased on race or religious beliefs,†said Morris Stein, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas. “When the civil rights of groups are protected, the civil rights of all are assured,†he added. The trial drew' national attention from such groups as the Anti-Defamation League, which is sued a statement from New York calling the ver dict “a major victory in the continuing battle against hate-inspired violence by skinheads around the country.†Skinheads, characterized by their closely sha ven heads, espouse a white supremacist philoso phy. All five skinheads were charged in two counts of the indictment with conspiring to violate the civil rights of minorities in the synagogue and parks incidents. A third count of the indictment charged three of them with firearms violations. One man, Mi chael Lewis Lawrence, 22, of Tulsa, Okla., was cleared of the Firearms charge but w as convicted with the others on the other counts. 'The defendants are Jon Lance Jordan, 19, of Garland; Sean Christian Tarrant, 20, and Daniel Alvis Wood, 20, of Dallas; Lawrence, 22, of Tulsa, Okla.; and Christopher Barry Greer, 25, of Irving. U.S. District Judge Barefoot Sanders said the earliest possible sentencing date would be April 19. All five remained in custody. Rabbi Kenneth Roseman, whose Temple Sha lom in North Dallas was vandalized, praised the jury’s verdict, but added, “Just because five peo ple have been convicted, that doesn’t mean there aren’t more radicals and bigots around.†Don Robinson, president of the Dallas chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, agreed. “Racism exists without a doubt,†he said. “Most of it’s been quiet and discreet. This (skinhead ac tivity) was just an outward expression of the way some people secretly feel.†’^ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ^ZZZZZ Si s Si si s Si 3 TEXAS HALL OF FAME Your #1 Live Country Night Spot!

OR CARL AT 693-4279 Coming March 7 to the MSC AggieVision's Paid Advertisement Memory course helps students boost grades By Anthony Rao Former University of Houston football coach Jack Pardee said it best: “This was so helpful to several of my players, I am now making the whole football team take the course.†Pardee read about a memory seminar held by noted memory expert Alvin Jackson and sent three players who needed to pass some important tests in or der to stay in school. Pardee sent athletic department aca demic advisor Dr. James Berlow as an observer. In one three-hour session Mr. Jackson took three college freshmen, whose college en trance exam grades were so poor they are not allowed to practice football, and trans formed them into students who can perform studying and recall tasks as well as the brightest students on campus. Since Dr. Berlow took part in the class, he admits his recall and memory increased sixfold. He wishes Jackson’s course was available when he studied for his doctorate. This reporter attended the seminar and personally wit nessed the athletes use mem ory techniques to master French, Portuguese, anatomy names and faces. What impressed this writer the most is how memory tech niques are used in reading and listening. “Contrary to popular belief people are not born with good memories, it can be taught, I have taught thousands. I have taught it to those wanting to use it to increase their G.P.A. to those with perfect G.P.A.s who wish to cut down on study time while maintaining high grades,†Jackson said. “Our present educational sys tem gives high grades to those who can memorize. If you re member more of what you hear in lectures and remember all of what you read, you will get higher grades,†Jackson added. “I know many techniques and teach my students the one that fits them best. Right now all stu dents use the “Rote†memoriza tion system taught in school. Under “Rote†you have to go over and over what you want to learn. As far as I am concerned, “Rote†is the worst. What stu dent has that much time to re peat information enough times to get top grades?†says Jack- son. Jackson will be in College Station at the College Station Community Center, Monday, March 5, for two sessions. One in the afternoon at 2:00 PM. and a second session at 6:00 PM. The tution for the S-Vz hour ses sion is $55.00 for pre-registra tion, or $100.00 for two registra tions. Jackson is only accepting 30 persons in each class on a first come first served basis. His guarantee is strong and he means it unconditionally. He guarantees, at the very least, to double your memory. Make taking tests easier, and remember more of your educa tion. Registration is easy.
