4. Here is your health fact of the week, brought to you by the BHSHC
Youth Advisory Board:  Marijuana smoke is harmful.  Because marijuana
smoke is pulled deeply into the lungs, it can cause more lung damage
than tobacco.  It is heavier than tobacco smoke and it is harder to
get out of the lungs when exhaling.  Smoking one joint is equivalent
to the health effects of smoking 10 cigarettes.

5. JOBS:  Café Rouge, 1782 Fourth Street, Berkeley, is looking to hire
one or two students. 
The openings are: Friday evening from 6:00 - 9:30 pm as a food runner,

runner.  No experience necessary.  Bring a resume including
information on the high school activities in which you participated or
any work experience, as well as, an unofficial transcript to the
restaurant, addressed to Kip.
