'U' breast cancer program aims to promote awareness."

By Maggie Weyhing
Daily Staff Reporter
The American Cancer Association reports
that less than one and a half percent of women
under thirty years of age have breast cancer.
However, statistics also show that one in nine
women will eventually develop the cancer
between the ages of 35 and 85.
As part of growing trend to promote safety
for woman, as well as to promote awareness
of cancer, University Students Against Can-

cer is sponsoring its first "Breast Health
Awareness Day" on April 3.
"Our main goal in sponsoring this program
is to raise awareness on campus about breast
cancer and to show students how to detect it
early." said Lauren Fox, USAC vice president.
USAC President Ed Hoopman said that
goal of breast health awareness day is to
educate students about cancer in general.
"A lot of people think that breast cancer is
only something that happens to 40-year-old

women, but that's not true. There are a lot of
people our age who have found tumors, and
although most are benign, we want to inform
the college crowd that it is possible to get
breast cancer," Hoopman said.
Most of the activities for the breast health
awareness day will take place in the Michigan
Union's Kunzel room. Beginning at4:00 p.m.,
there will be a speaker from University Health
Services, a panel of students who have all had
experience with breast cancer, a fifteen minute

video and a self-breast exam demonstration.
Pam Bledsoe, registered nurse and co-
coordinator of the gynecology clinic at UHS,
will speak at the event. "I want students to be
aware of what breast tissue feels like so when
they hit 35, they will be able to know what to
look for to detect the cancer," Bledsoe said.
Bledsoe pointed out that eighty-five per-
cent of cancer detected is in patients over the
age of 45, but it is never too early to check.
Although statistics from American Can-

cer Association show that only one in 150
victims of breast cancer are males, both
Bledsoe and Hoopman said that men should
be aware of the disease.
Hoopman said that one of the three speak-
ers on the student panel is a male, who re-
cently had a tumor in his breast removed.
"The male speaker will hopefully prove
two points to students," Hoopman said, "One,
that young people do get breast cancer and also
that some of those young people are males."

CCRB offers courses to
help in reducing stress

By Stephanie Jo Klein
Daily Staff Reporter
As stress mounts and finals ap-
proach, students can unwind while
taking exercise classes in the Central
Campus Recreation Building.
Fitness-minded students can take
classes like "Butts & Guts," weight
training, step aerobics and hip-hop
for any semester through the Adult
Lifestyles Program.
Kerry Buck, Kinesiology lecturer
and program training coordinator, said
that approximately 2,000 participants
enroll in classes at the CCRB during
each semester.
"Mostly Michigan faculty, staff
and students sign up, due to our loca-
tion (in the CCRB)," Buck said. She
also added that non-students can en-
roll, but must pay an additional $20-
25 per course.
Students can enroll in most courses
for an average fee of $60, Buck said.
"We offer classes that meet twice a
week. We also offer one-day classes,
at a cheaper price, if that is all you can
fit into your schedule," she said.
Classes that meet once a week,
like "Butts & Guts," tend to be popu-
lar, Buck said. "You totally work
out your abdominals and your butt.
People like it because those are what
most people view as their problem

areas."
Program Director Pat Van
Volkinburg said that class times vary
throughout the day, but the bulk of
the classes are after 3:30 in the af-
ternoon.
"We have a real steady, faithful
following," Van Volkinburg said,
adding that the majority of those en-
rolled tend to be women.
The classes are taught by certified
aerobic instructors, who are trained in
CPR and first aid, Buck said.
LSA sophomore Rachel Ermann,
a past participant in "Butts & Guts,"
said she enjoyed the class.
"At $45, it was affordable, but I
wish it was less expensive," she said.
"If you want to really get into it and
take classes a few times a week, it gets
expensive."
Although listed in the University
time schedule, registration for Adult
Lifestyles Program courses cannot be
done during regular class registra-
tion.
"You have to come to our office
in 3050 CCRB to register," Buck
said. Those interested can sign up
for fall term before leaving for sum-
mer break.
Buck encouraged people to regis-
ter, saying, "Come join us, we're he,
for spring and summer!"

Pans-Asian
program
attracts
big crowd
By Spencer Dickinson

Daily Staff Reporters
Last night;more than 1,000 people
gathered in the Power Center to see
the University's first pan-Asian cul-
ture show.
Generation APA, a United Asian
American Organizations production,
combined elements of the several
cultural events that the University's
Asian ethnic organizations hosted
The Thai, Indian, Filipino, Taiwan
ese and Hawaiian student groups all
pertormed dances retlective of their
cultural heritage.
"I'm very impressed with all of
the dances, and I also think that this
event is an excellent opportunity for
everyone to get a taste of Asian cul-
ture and heritage," said Engineering
senior Virasack Nanthavongse.
"Being white,'it was a really gooa
experience for me to be exposed to
this," said LSA junior Reese Vogel.
"I would not have ever been aware of
Asian culture without going out of
my way."~
Students were not the only ones
who were impressed with the APA
Generation. Vice President for Stu-
dent Affairs Maureen A. Hartford said,
"It amazes me how much talent thes
kids have, especially because the
aren't performance majors."
"... because they're all pre-med
and pre-law," addedEngineering Prof.
George Hartford, Hartford's husband.
Though the evening wentoff with-
out a hitch, it was pulled together on
short notice. "We began playing with
the idea in a UAO meeting just before
spring break," said Tait Sye of Mi nor
ity Student Services.
"Originally, I was thinking of a
few acts in the (Michigan) Union
Ballroom, but then it grew, we started
talking about the Power Center, and a
month and a half later, here we are,"
said Marie Ting of the Office of Aca-
demic Multicultural Initiatives.
The ethnic organizations were
joined by Asian American a capella
group 58 Greene; Lambda Phi Epsi.
Ion, the University's Asian fraternity,
the Asian acting troupe Point of View;
and the Chinese and Korean Christian
organizations.
The Generation APA show also
created two new groups. International
Funk, a jazz/hip-hop group repre-
senting the changing face of today's
APA youth" and InCh, a group com-
bining Chinese and Indian traditional
dances were both custom-made fo
the evening.
"It all wouldn't have gone down
without everyone's help," Sye said.
"This is a good example of the Asian
community coming together."
One highlight of the show was the
array of costumes featured in the
dances. Nancy Chen, mother of InCh
dancer Loui Chen, said, "I just fin-

ished these costumes today, just be.
fore the show," pointing to her
daughter's dress. Chen also made
Taiwanese tribal costumes for the
TASA dance.
