should file

health center.
Dr. Jane W. Cohen
A.P. Beutel Health Center
With the fall semester begin
ning, everyone is meeting new peo
ple and getting into a new routine.
However, with all the excitement of
rushing around, do not forget to
take care of your health.
If you eat nutritious meals, take
part in regular physical activity, get
plenty of rest, and control your
stress, you will be on your way to a
successful semester.
But if you do happen to get ill,
the A.P Beutel Health Center has
some helpful tips so you can
receive the care you need.
First, if you are ill, call the health
center to make an appointment.
Health center hours are 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Arrive 20 minutes
before your appointment to
assure that you see a
physician at your scheduled
time. If you do not have an
appointment, you may have a
longer wait to see one.
Each student should have a
medical history form on file at the
health center. If you are a new stu
dent or a transfer student and have
not turned in a form, you should do
so as soon as possible by stopping
by the health center.
Next, you should prepare for
your examination. You and your
physician are partners in your
health care.
Your physician depends on you,
as the patient, for basic informa
tion about your health. Be sure to
provide accurate information about
your health history.
Writing down the facts ahead of
time will prepare you to make bet
ter use of the time you spend with
your physician.
During your examination, do not
be afraid to mention all your symp
toms and do not hesitate to ask
your physician questions about the
examination or diagnosis. Your
physician will be able to make an
accurate diagnosis with your help.
Additional X-rays, laboratory tests
or consultations may be advised.
Your physician will also check to
see if your immunization require
ments are up-to-date.
Texas A&M immunization require
ments are: Tetanus/Diphtheria (with
in the last ten years), Polio series (if
18 years or older), Measles (two
doses), Mumps, Rubella and
Mantoux tuberculosis (TB) skin test
(required for international students).
If you do not comply with these
immunization requirements, you
will be blocked from registration.
Finally, and most importantly, fol
low your physician's instructions.
Your recovery rate also depends on
how you take care of yourself after
you have visited the physician.
Take all medication prescribed,
have any follow-up tests performed,
and call the physician if you have
any additional questions
about your treatment.
Your health is impor
tant to your physical,
emotional, spiritual and
especially your intellectual
well-being. Taking care of
yourself is a positive step
toward academic success.
The heath center provides unlim
ited visits to the ten physicians on
staff. Also at the health center is a
lab, a radiology machine, a phar
macy, physical therapy facilities,
and dietary counseling information.
Consultant physicians come to
the heath center on a regular
basis for your physician’s referral
to a specialist.
The health center has a
Women’s Clinic, Ambulance/EMS
and Dial-a-Nurse at 845-2822.
Over-the-counter medications are
also reasonably priced.
The Health Education Center at
the A.P Beutel Health Center offers
a variety of programs on health top
ics and maintains a resource file of
health information.
Tours of the health center are
also available. Aggie R.E.A.C.H.
(Representatives Educating About
College Health) is a volunteer stu
dent organization that helps pre
sent health programs to other col
lege students.
Visit or call the Health Education
Center in room 016A at the A.P
Beutel Health Center, (409) 845-
1341, if you have any questions.
One part gladiator,
one part capture fhe flag,
and one part no guts, no glory.
Its called paintball.
A million people call it fun and games.
Paintball is com*
ing to Bryan-College
Station. We're open
ing a regulation paint
ball field here soon,
and you will want to get
in on the action.
Paintball is one of
America's most exciting
sports. A million men and
women play it every week,
challenging their cunning and their
endurance. It’s quite safe (bowling and
golf have more injuries, national insurance
underwriters say), and you don't have to
be a super jock to enjoy it.
We'll offer two courses: a rugged,
brushy, outdoor field with creeks, trees
and plenty of cover plus a lighted pavilion
for arena games. There is seating for
spectators, picnic facilities, restrooms and
a snack bar.
You can reserve the field for company
'll
events, parties or
group contests or can
firm stage your own game
i I within a game during
regular sessions. We
furnish everything play
ers need including safety
masks, markers and
paint, and we have a well-
outfitted pro shop for seri
ous players looking for their
own gear.
Yes, there are rules: gaiYies are moni
tored and supervised by experienced field
judges who keep the play exciting but fair
and safe. Field insurance is a part of the
adventure and is required.
If you were too short for basketball, too
slow for football and too stiff for tennis, this
may be your game. All you need is
courage'fcnd a will to win.
Join us in the sport some call full contact
chess. Paintball — you have to love it.
