The increasing need for information about women’s
health has resulted in the publication of the book Con
temporary Women’s Health by Dr. Danny Ballard, pro
fessor of health in the Department of Health and Kine
siology; Dr. Cheryl Kolander, professor of health at the
University of Louisville; and Dr. Cindy Chandler, pro
fessor of counseling psychology at the University of
North Texas.
Ballard said the book addresses rape and crisis aware
ness, substance-abuse awareness, consumer health is
sues and reproduction information. The book contains
journal pages at the end of each chapter for readers to
record reactions and personal health-status assessments.
“We decided we wanted women to examine their ex
periences and to record how they felt,” Ballard said in a
press release. “The best way to do that was to include
the ‘Journal Activity’ segment so women could record
their own emotions about that topic or chapter."
She said the book was written because many uni
versities lack an informational book for teaching
women’s health.
“Most of the women’s health books we

“We weren’t able to get as much
participation as we would like this
year, but we are really excited to try
it again.”
Crawford said the purpose of the
show is to help unite the Greek
community. A part of the proceeds
from the show will help create a
fund for a Matthew Gaines statue.
Adrian Leday, president of NPHC
and a senior biology major, said
groups have already begun to show
unity in the Greek community.
“Because this has happened, a
lot of the groups that don’t normal
ly have a chance to work together
are uniting here and competing
while they are having fun,” Leday
said. “As far as feedback I’ve re
ceived, the groups have enjoyed
their partners and it has fostered a
better understanding in the Greek
community.”

The proposed changes to the Stu

the Faculty Senate Monday night,
concerning alcohol inclusion in Uni

into effect in the Fall 1999.
Patterson said the change propos
als are based on rules used by frater
nity insurance purchasing groups
and will be expanded to impact oth
er University-recognized organiza
tions if they are approved by Presi
dent Dr. Ray Bowen. He said most
Greek organizations consult similar
groups to buy liability coverage.
“The rules set guidelines for use
of alcohol at functions,” Patterson
said. “As far as working for other stu
