ASUO president Geneva
Wortman spoke at the event and
cited the importance of having
awareness of women’s health is
sues.
“We need to leave here tonight
knowing we have the power and
the tools to take care of our
selves,” she said.
Wortman urged students to
use the on-campus health facili
ties, mentioning the fees stu
dents pay to the health and coun
seling centers every term.
Mark said the decisions stu
dents make now can have far
reaching consequences.
“We are not immune to dis
ease,” she said. "... We have to
be careful. We need to protect
our health.”
Although the event focused
mainly on women’s health,
Mark said she also hopes to get
the word out to men. Many of the
issues being discussed are ap
plicable to men as well, she said.
She hopes a similar program
in a different format will be
made available to men so they
can learn about women’s health
issues.

Continued from Page 1A
Wushu became a standardized
art in China during the 1950s,
Tamimi said.
“What makes up wushu is the
individual form,” Tamimi said.
“Forms focus on flexibility, bal
ance, and stretching.”
Wushu became a club sport on
campus in 1995 when Dan Wu be
gan teaching the Chinese martial
art. In 1997, the University hosted
the first intercollegiate wushu
tournament.
Wushu had been practiced at
different colleges, but had not
been organized at the collegiate
level.
Members of the club have been
successful in competitions, Wolf
said. Tamimi and Wolf respective
ly took first and third places in a
tournament last year at the Uni
versity of California at Berkeley.
At competitions, performers’
two-minute routines are judged
based on the accuracy of their
movement.
Anyone is welcome to join the
club, both coaches said. The
club’s attendance varies between
20 and 30 participants.
“From any level, anyone can
enter and learn wushu,” Tamimi
said. “One thing we emphasize is
consistent improvement.”
International Representatives are on campus now recruiting
