Effects of exercise are addressed
By ANN Mr.NELLIS
Slaff writer
‘Thinking tends to he
facilitated when there is a
general increase in muscle
tone.' according to the former
head of the physical education
department at a Canadian
university. Remaining physi
cally fit and mentally alert will
hold hack the onset of those
characteristics we usually
associate with aging, accord
ing l‘> Earle Zeigler, former
dean of the faculty of physical
education and sport at the
University of Western Ontario
in Canada.
Zeigler. on study leave at the
University, expressed concern
over the role of sport and
recreation in society today.
He said lack of strength,
flexibility and endurance may
result from lack of condition
ing.
HOW EVER. THE value of
exercise encompasses more
than increasing or maintaining
one's strength, flexibility and
endurance. It also gives a
person more energy and may
increase the lifespan. Ziegler
said.
In addition, Zeigler recom
mends each person learn how
to swim and know some water
safely techniques
Moreover, “everybody ought
to have some knowledge of self
defense."Ziegler said. The,
thin veneer of civilization may
crack at any time, all should
be prepared
Advice on assisting a
poison victim discussed
By W AYNE LEWIS
With all the household
poisons in the home today
there is always a chance of
someone accidentally poison
ing themselves. A poison
control center or a hospital is
the ideal place for such victims
to lx? taken, however, pharma
cists can also be trained lo
handle such cases.
Addressing the Student Phar
macculical Association Tues
day. Or. Douglas Johnson,
professor of pharmacology,
told the group what a
pharmacist should do in the
case of a poisoned victim.
Under four conditions a
victim should not lx* induced to
vomit, Johnson said. When the
patient is unconscious, the
vomit it likely to asperate into
his lungs, he said The second
condition is when the patient is
convulsing. Third, when the
poison ingested is corrosive
which will damage tissue and
“could result in a rupture of
the esophagus or stomach.” he
said. The fourth condition is
when the poison is kerosene or
a related substance which is an
irritating substance. In the
lourth instance there is “ex
treme danger of asperating
kerosene into the lungs," he
said.
After the pharmacist is
“sure none of the four
problems are involved.” then a
person can induce vomiting.
Johnson said
Johnson said two ways are
normally used to induce
vomiting One way is to tickle
the back of the patient's throat
with a finger or blunt object
and the other is to give the
patient ipecac syrup, he said.
The latter method is the
preferable way to induce
vomiting, he added
The main disadvantage of
tickling the bock of the throat
is it “tends not to be
extensive.“Johnson said “It
may not get all the poison
out." he added.
When ipecac syrup is being
used, one full tablespoon of the
syrup should lx* followed by a
cup of water, he said.
"You need enough water to
bring the poison hack up
with." Johnson said. But a lot
of water should not lx* given to
the patient ahead of time, he
added
If water is not available h
clear liquid should lx* used to
Ih* able to examine the vomit.
Johnson said.
He said this procedure may
he repeated only once. The
disadvantage to using ipecac
syrup is it takes about 15
minutes to induce vomiting, he
said.
"Ipecac syrup is the better
choice, even at the hospital."
Johnson said The quicker you
can get it down the better, he
added
Johnson said alter \omiting.
the patient should Ih* given a
non-oily demulsion to dilute
any poison remaining in the
stomach Examples of this
demulsion are milk, egg-
white. or a mixture of flour
and water, he added
An alternative to the demul
sion is activated charcoal
which is a good absorbing
agent, he said
The pharmacist can give
information about transporta
tion to a treatment center.
Johnson said. The fastest way
is by car which will "always
be suitable unless the patient
has a physical injury or
respiratory failure." he said.
In these cases an ambulance
should he summoned, he
added.
When going to the treatment
center “take an example of the
poison," Johnson said Keep
(he poison in the original
container or any available
container or if the poison is
unknown, take an example of
the vomit us. he said.
These steps should lx* done
as soon ;1j< |W«sihr»*. Johnson
said.
“Hopefully all that can be
accomplished in 15 minutes,"
he said.
A person who knows first aid
should stand by in case of
respiratory failure, Johnson
said. But there is no need to
scare the patient or his parents
by telling him why this person
is needed, he added.
The first things the pharma
cist should do when called in
the case of a poisoning is to
identify and evaluate the
person who called, Johnson
said.
Then the pharmacist “needs
to decide whether the caller is
competent enough to receive
instructions" which should lx*
kepi simple, he said
The pharmacist should aiso
trv to make some evaluation of
the potential danger of the
incident, he said.
Follow-up treatment for the
patient is necessary unless the
material ingested is positi-
vely identified as non-toxic,
Johnson said
“You will develop the feel of
some materials that are
non-toxic," Johnson said.
If the patient is unconscious,
Johnson said, he should be
placed on his side with his
head low. In the case of
convulsions, the patient should
he laid on the floor with a
handkerchief in his mouth so
he will not swallow his tongue,
he said.
Johnson said home remedies
that involve drugs should not
he given to the patients.
Instead of giving home reme
dies. it is better to know how to
handle the situation, he said.
“Fifteen years ago it was
(xipular to hand out material
that was complicated and had
home remedies," Johnson said.
In addition, everyone who
can should participate in some
sport in which people must
cooperate, such as a team
sport
ZEIGLER ADVOCATED
developing one indoor and one
outdoor recreation skill, in
addition to “a movement
experience of a rhythmic type.
The kinesthetic sense has been
ignored throughout history."
Ignoring this aspect tie.,
learning to use the body) may
result in hesitation in using it.
he said.
Unfortunately, physical edu
cation—never in the vanguard
in history, according to Zeig
ler—is inadequate.
Instead of providing a
general program of sport and
recreation for all people, an
intramural program built on
that base, and a highly
competitive program for those
at the very top. "we have
turned the triangle upside
down." Zeigler said Sports for
the few accelerated persons
are out of proportion to the
training and opportunities a-
vailable for all.
Not only are priorities
reversed in terms of the
physical education set-up. but
priorities are reversed in
dealings with the individual
athlete. According to Zeigler.
winning is a higher priority
than an individual and his or
her development.
MOREOVER. FORCING
athletic programs to pay for
themselves through gate re
ceipts and fund-raising activi
ties has spun the program out
of control. Zeigler said.
Because sports must pay for
themselves, sports that do not
draw funds are dropped. As a
result, the number of sports
offered decreases and the
development of intramural and
recreational sports for all
students is negated, he added
To alleviate these problems.
Zeigler recommended making
PE co-curricular if not
curricular and supporting ath
letics by state and federal
funds just as other areas of the
curriculum are supported
He also recommended that
no scholarships be given
“unless there is proven finan
cial need. I don’t think we
should give scholarships to
men or women unless we are
depriving them the opportunity
to put themselves through
school.”
HE ADVOCATED decreas
ing the emphasis on competi
tive sport for the very few In
that manner, pressure would
be lessened on coaches giving
them more energy to devote
toward teaching students
Another observation Zeigler
made about the field of sport
was that the professional in
sport is different from any
other type of professional.
Rarely does the professional
athlete promote his sport and
bring the benefits to as many
people as possible. Zeigler
said. Instead, the individual
athelete is all-important.
Moreover, athletes do not
stay in the sport when not
competing; they go into other
fields.
The exception is Billy Jean
King, who has stayed with
tennis According to Zeigler.
King has done much to
promote women’s sports and is
publisher of the magazine
“Women’s Sport."
