The Student Health Center held a “Wellness Day” event Thursday in the Library Quad to offer Sacramento State students free measles and rubella immunizations, dental health advice, chlamydia screening, and body fat and fitness testing.

Candy, brochures and even free immunizations shots were not the only highlights of the event. For a few hours, the “Blood Alcohol Educator Truck” rolled onto campus. The Blood Alcohol Educator’s purpose is to help promote responsible decision-making regarding underage alcohol consumption and drunk-driving problems.

“We travel all over the country to stop the drunk-driving problem,” said Crystal Bishop, a promoter and traveler with BAE. “There have been 100 students who have stopped by to check out the BAE CD-ROM program.”

The BAE CD- ROM educates the users on how their personal blood alcohol concentration level rises based on their gender, weight, and number and type of drink. The BAE is a national program and is currently on a nationwide tour with the BAE truck.

Along with the BAE truck, there were booths displaying other health issues. Dental assistants were also available to answer students’ questions.

Darlene Spencer, Sac State Health Center nurse, said that there wasn’t much promotion of the event but there was a handful of students getting measles and rubella shots.

“We are trying to promote our Satellite Clinic that will soon open in January 2001 in the University Union.”
