The sophomore career
awareness program is a three
step project aimed at helping
students develop an "overall
picture of what their career
potential might be," says
Dorwin Lovell, BMCC counse
lor and one of the coordinators
of the project.
The first step of the project
is to test the sophomores on
their interests, abilities and
attitude's. The test results are
evaluated in terms of career
potential in the interpretive
phase. The third phase of the
program is for the sopho
mores to visit the college and
meet with BMCC instructors.
College instructors will talk
with the students about course
requirements for a college
degree as well as career op
portunities in the students'
chosen field. Additionally, the

Have you succumbed to that
bright bunch of sunshine, yet?
I always know when spring is
here, the daffodils are offered
in the produce departments
and they do seem so cheerful
and bright. Especially if the
weather has been rainy or
dark, they talk their way into
my grocery cart. It's not quite
as tempting, this year, be
cause my new husband has
lots of delightful daffodils in
the yard, but they still call to
me. This brings up one of the
general principles about the
cost of food. Not everything
vou buy at the grocery store is
food.
A couple of years ago, I was
standing in line at the grocery
store behind a woman who
was complaining about the
cost of food. She was loudly
talking aboaut how small the
sack was that held $20 worth of
food. As I looked the things
over in her cart. I noticed a
pair of panty hose, some light
bulbs, some wine and cat
food all part of her food
budget.
More than 20 percent of the
money spent in grocery stores
isn't spent on food at all. It
goes toward soap, paper
goods, magazines, health and
beauty aids and household
cleaning supplies. Even such
items as pet food, alcoholic
beverages and soft drinks
can't really be considered
food.
One-stop shopping is very
convenient and sometimes
less expensive than going
from store to store. It's very
helpful to me to pick up that
pair of panty hose I need when

The sophomore career
awareness program at BMCC
was funded this year by a
$7,984 grant awarded by the
Northwest Area Foundation of
Saint Paul. Minn. The grant
was one of 14 awarded
throughout the United States.
The program will continue
next year, according to BMCC

I'm shopping for food items.
There's even a brand or two
that I find is cheaper at the
grocery store than anywhere
else, but I try to remember
that the whole bill isn't just for
food.
If you're shopping at one of
the stores equipped with elec
tronic scanners, your grocery
tape is very complete, giving
you the information you need
to separate out your non-food
items. It is interesting to add
them up and see how much
you're actually spending on
non-foods. If the cost is very
high you might look for ways
to cut down on the use of some
of these items.
One thing we do at my house
is use cloth napkins. I'm a
needlepoint addict and made
napkin rings with our initials
on them so we can use the
napkins more than once unless
it's a really messy meal. My
new family has had some
adjusting to do to this system.
My own kids just assumed
that was the way everyone did
it or at least that they had to
accommodate their mom who
is a little strange about wast
ing paper.
Another thing you can do is
check the unit pricing tag on
the shelves. Paper products
can be especially difficult to
decide which is a bargain.
Some stores will give a dis
count on case lots of such
items, too, so if you have
storage space it might be
worthwhile to shop in
quantity.
Remember, it may be handy
to buy your baking pans,
mops, shampoo and even
plants along with your food
but it can't really be consi
dered as the cost of feeding

I think it is very important
to continue on about pharma
ceuticals - how they're used
and where they come from.
The more I read and research
for these articles, the better
versed I become on the vast
usage of cattle. We certainly
must learn to look at many
facets, not just the negative
comments produced in maga
zines, ads and television.

Heparin is an important
anti-coagulant. It is used to
prevent blood coagulation
during operations and to pre
vent blood clots within the
circulatory system which can
lead to heart attack. Heparin
is also used as a gangrene
preventive in cases of frost
bite and as a burn treatment.
Pancreas
Insulin is perhaps the best
known pharmaceutical de
rived from cattle. It is used to
treat diabetes mellitus (sugar
diabetes). There are five mil
lion diabetics in the U.S. alone
and 1.25 million of them re
quire insulin daily.
It takes the pancreas from
26 cattle to provide enough
insulin to keep one of these
diabetics alive for one year.
Chymotrypsin is an enzyme
used to cleanse wounds and to
remove dead tissue where
ulcers and infections occur. It
can be used in the treating of
serious injury or following
surgery when localized in
flamation and swelling result
due to excess fluids.
Glucagon helps counteract
insulin-shock resulting from
an overdose of insulin or when
a low blood sugar episode is
caused by alcoholism. It has a
specialized use in the treat
ment of some psychiatric dis
orders. Trypsin is a pancreatic by

to produce one pound of this
valuable pharmaceutical.
Thyrotropin (TSH) is a
hormone that stimulates the
thyroid gland. It is used as a
disgnostic tool to determine if
a patient is suffering from
hypothyroidism caused by an
enterior pituitary failure or by
complete failure of the
thyroid gland. (In the event of
anterior pituitary failure, the
drug will stimulate proper
functioning of the gland.)
Vasopressin is used to con
trol cases of excessive urina
tion or in testing of renal
functions. It is also employed
to stimulate proper movement
of material through the intes
tinal tract following opera
tions and to dispel "gas
shadows" for abdominal
x-rays.
