  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday Sept, 27, 1973 page 5 »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦< »♦♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦»< THE DOCTOR 'S BAG i(f Mtxoll i/i)ana, %.!b. QUESTION: My wife and I are expecting our first child soon and because of this we were attending pre-natal classes of instruction and preparation. In all the literature for the course, we keep seeing statements such as: "The baby emerges from the mother's body in any of a variety of shades from blue to red, but soon the baby's coloring changes to a soft rosy pink or white." We were wondering if this was true of babies born of black parents or of parents belonging to one of the darker complexioned peoples of the world? Are their babies born blue or red, then turning to rosy pink? If not, then we feel that there most be some revision of the prejudiced prenatal literature distributed by a variety of companies. ANSWER: Babies born of black parents have a much lighter skin initially which becomes darker in a few weeks. At birth, a black baby is often a very deep pink or red and if the parents are light complexioned might actually be the same color as a baby born of white parents. The development of skin pigmentation for all infants continues to take place after birth and may actually extend for a period of several years. However, the differences in appearance at birth of the child from black parents compared to a child from white parents is sufficiently distinctive so that one would imagine that prenatal literature would comment on it. That such literature might exhibit the peculiar form of prejudice known as ignoring the existence of non white people, does not surprise me. I think it would be a worthwhile venture for you to write to the company distributing such literature and confront them with your observation. * QUESTION: I buy meals in a dorm on campus where I can usually get unlimited seconds. Therefore, I tend to eat only one meal a day to save money. At that time I stuff myself, often eatingfor well over an hour and having five to six main servings. After eating, I often will fall asleep in class, or feel worn out. I am questioning whether it is harmful to eat so much at once and why I often feel so fagged out afterwards. ANSWER: From a physiologic point of view there is no pressing reason why one should eat three fixed meals a day. Some people contentedly consume the vast majority of their calories at one setting. In the animal world, species that hunt other animals typically consume food in massive amounts at irregular intervals for obvious reasons. These animals are often adapted to hold a very large amount of food in their stomachs and to digest it over long periods of time. While I can assure you that your engorging behavior is unlikely to result in harm, I cannot give you an entirely satisfactory explanation about the sleepiness. There are theories regarding this ranging from decreased cerebral circulation due to pooling of blood in the gastrointestinal tract, to secretion of sleep inducing substances by the lining of the gut. There are fallacies in all the theories. My only suggestion would be to try making the one large meal a day your supper meal, which you can follow by a brief nap which would not interfere with classes. "fr QUESTION: A cosmetic clerk told me recently that if I don't wear make-up, my skin will age and wrinkle early. Is this true? I have always thought that make-up was at best harmless and on occasion, harmful. ANSWER: The vast majority of cosmetics sold do absolutely nothing to enhance the quality of one's skin. In some cases they serve the purpose of creating a more attractive appearance, which obviously deals with culturally determined preferences such as eye make-up etc. The cosmetic clerk might well believe what she told you, but considering her economic stake in promoting the sale of her product I would hardly expect her to be objective. Many cosmetics are incredibly overpriced for the dubious value they have. Aging and wrinkling of skin is generally determined by genetic factors, extensive exposure to the elements, in particular sunlight, and one's nutritional state. It is sheer nonsense that the use of expensive cosmetics is going to delay the inevitable. Some cosmetics are quite allergenic and sensitive people can have a hard time with them. *************************** Address letters to Dr. Arnold Werner, Box 974, East Lansing, ML 48823. Allman Brothers In Review by K. H. Boutelle The new release by the Allman Brothers Band, "Brothers & Sisters", is a gift and I have worn it out listening in total admiration. The Allmans are once again on two feet and finally receiving the international ear. It's about time, world. With the loss of brother Duane on lead and slide guitar a couple of years ago, the group from Macon, Georgia crumbled helplessly. Slowly reorganizing, they began touring with minimum nationwide recognition. One year later bassist Berry Oakley died and the band again practically disappeared from the scene. This year they constructed yet another puzzle and the pieces miraculously fit. Lady Luck obviously turned her cheek, for the addition of Chuck Leavell, one of rock and roll's best pianists, and Lamar Williams on bass, introduced a new dimension to the already dynamic talents of the remaining Allmans. This album contains the familiar driving sound of past recordings and also serves as an introduction for lead guitarist Dicky Betts, who is credited with writing four of the seven songs. One of them "Ramblin' Man", is sitting high on charts all over the nation. An almost hidden country and western influence on Betts has at last surfaced, opening new and unlimited possibilities for their music. I feel safe in saying that "Jessica", the only instrumental cut on the album , is one of the best examples of this influence, and is also extremely powerful and decidedly more beautiful than any of the other songs on the L.P, With the use of over- dubbing, Betts parallels two guitars in harmony complimented by an excellent melodic line. The result is honey sweet, "Wasted Words", by Gregg Allman is atypical of their earlier boogie with commendable lyrics and vocals by Allman and respectable slide guitar work by Betts. "Southbound", a rollicking song about the road and performances reveals the desire of any touring band: to be home. Chuck Leavell displays some of his best piano work along with Betts on guitar. The two blues cuts on the album are decent. "Come And Go Blues" is different for the Allmans and is an amazingly tight recording, despite the somewhat lacking lyrical quality. "Early Morning Blues" is a standard progression leaving the field open for solo performances by Allman on organ, Leavel on piano, and Dick Betts on lead guitar. I found it very satisfying. The remaining song on the album, "Pony Boy", features Dick Betts on vocal and dobro and is simply a "good time" song to sit down with. Throwing leads back and forth to one another is difficult business, but Betts on guitar and Leavell on piano accomplish the task with ease and professionalism. There you have it, With "Brothers and Sisters", the unusual for the Allman Brothers is very quickly becoming the usual, They have struck hard and proved quite successfully that they can stand back up. Welcome home. "All Right, You've Wallowed Long Enough. Let's Get On With It." ATTENTION SENIORS.' THE folcoco/mG- "RcPK^seNriTiv/es Loilc Tie on Cflmpws Fok -Jog m m % Rose's Stores Inc.
