Dr. Jane Cohen, assistant health educa tion coordinator of A.P. Beutel Health Cen ter, will provide information about herbal remedies in order to help students make in formed decisions when using natural reme dies today at 5:30 p.m. in room 281 of the Student Recreation Center. Cohen’s lecture will be part of the Healthy Living Lecture Series sponsored by the Department of Recreational Sports. Cohen said people use herbal medications for cultural and religious reasons. Also, peo ple believe an all-natural alternative may be healthier than a prescription drug. “There are also some people that believe any pill approved by the Federal Drug Ad ministration (FDA) is completely safe,” she said. Cohen will identify herbs used to man ufacture over-the-counter remedies. Some of the herbs she will discuss include Mah- gang, Echinaccea and St. John’s Wort. Cohen said she will address quality con trol and safety when taking medications. “Students need to be aware of possible risks that can occur when medicines inter act in the system and also the possibility of allergic reactions,” she said. Cohen will also talk about aromathera py and natural seasonings. Plants, aro matherapy products and seasonings will be given away as door prizes. “We will offer recommendations for us age and also information on the side effects of these herbal remedies,” Cohen said. “We also will recommend discussing op tions with a health care professional before self diagnosing an illness.” Cohen said a handout will be available with Web sites that offer additional infor mation concerning herbal remedies and medications. “The population is examining their op tions when it comes to treatment, and we want to give them information so they can make informed decisions,” Cohen said.

Leader says Yugoslavia ready to fight to d to carry pa: BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) — Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic insisted Thesday that NATO attacks stop before he moves toward peace, declaring his forces ready to fight “to the very end.” NATO answered with new resolve to wreck his mili tary with a relentless air assault. More than six hours of talks with Russia’s prime minister yielded a statement by Milose vic that he was willing to rein in a harsh campaign against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo and re sume peace talks if the NATO strikes stopped. His proposal was rejected by NATO leaders including Presi dent Clinton, who warned that atrocities against ethnic Albani ans would weaken Serbia’s claim to the separatist province and increase NATO’s determi nation to destroy Milosevic’s army.
