HALO to kick off Cinco de Mayo
Mexico's independence fun focus of festivals
By Will Lewis Kansan staff writer
The Hispanic-American Leadership Organization will hold its fifth annual Cinco de Mayo festival tomorrow at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., to celebrate Mexico's independence and have a little fun.
HALO. "Anyone who wants to just go crazy and dance, I think this will be a golden opportunity to go and release some stress."
From 8.p.m. to 1:30 a.m., those who attend the event will gain a taste of the culture through the rhythms of salsa, meringue, ballads and Tex-Mex music. For those familiar with the culture, it will be a time to reminisce.
"I just want everyone to have a good time," said Octavio Hinojosa, Hutchinson junior and president of
Tickets for the event are $5 in advance and $6 at the door. Tickets are available at the Office of Minority Affairs, the Spanish department and from members of HALO. Those under 21 must sign up on a guest list because
of contract restrictions with the hall.
The festival will serve as a fund raiser for Hispanic Heritage Month, which will be from September 15 to October 15 and feature speakers, presentations, films and music related to the culture.
"We're just hoping a lot of people attend this because this is a major fund-raiser." Hijosa said.
Cinco de Mayo marks Mexico's victory after France's intervention in the 19th century, when the European nation attempted to gain political power in Mexico.
Every city has its own parade, and

celebrations are similar to those on the United States' Fourth of July, he said.
Enrique Rodriguez, Durango, Mexico, junior, said he hoped tomorrow's celebration would increase people's awareness of the holiday.
"I hope parties like that will start teaching people more about our culture," he said. "It will encourage people to learn a little more about their neighbors in the South."
Too many people confuse the day with Mexico's Independence Day, he said, when it should be recognized as the nation's retention of sovereignty.
Badge puts sunbathers on yellow alert
Indicator changes color to warn people of possible sunburn
By Vicki Bode Kansan staff writer
A yellow street light indicates caution for cars, and now yellow also may caution people that it is time to get out of the sun.
In March, Xtronxyx Inc. introduced a sunburn indicator called the Sun Alert Ultraviolet Warning Badge. The badge is designed for the longer skin is exposed to the sun.
Xytronys Inc., said the badge could be placed either on skin or on clothing. The badge has a chemical filter that changes from blue to green after a short time in the sun.
He said that when the badge turned yellow, it meant the person was in danger of getting a sunburn. If the badge changed to orange, the person had a sunburn.
"It doesn't prevent you from getting a burn, but it tells you if you are getting one," he said.
But there are other ways to prevent sunburn if you do not want to buy the badge.
Jim Ross, national sales manager at
Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said a base tan helped prevent sun-
burns.
"You increase your pigment resistance when you tan." Yockey said. "You keep adding to your tan. This toughens up your skin and increases the resistance to burn."
A person can get sunburned when they have a tan, but it takes longer to burn, he said.
too late."
Yockey said that it was safe to use a taming bed to get a base tan but that people needed to realize they could burn quicker in a bed than in the sun.
"People know how long they can stay in the sun," he said. "But in the tanning booth, they don't know until eight hours later that they have gotten burned. People don't notice until it's
Tanning lotions that temporarily dye a person's skin do not protect against the sun, Yockey said. The lotions are simply cosmetics.
Also, some medications and perfumes cause reactions and rashes in the sun.
And skin cancer is always a concern for sunbathers.
He said melanoma, a type of skin cancer, had the fastest growing incidence rate in America.
"Americans' tendency to get more sun is causing a phenomenal increase in skin cancer," Yockey said. "Melanoma is expected to be an epidemic by the year 2000."
