The study examines the social distance subjects put between themselves and ten categories of stigmatized individuals. Subjects were 232 randomly selected undergraduates of the University of Ife, Nigeria. Data for the study was gathered through self-administered questionnaires. The results indicate that the stigma repulsing the subjects most were quadriplegia and epilepsy and the stigma to which they responded most favourably was ugliness. There was a significant rela tionship between sex and social distance with females forming a larger percentage of subjects with high social distance scores. Social distance was also found to be related to functional limitedness of the stigma and the degree of projected intimacy between subjects and the stigmatized. The study concludes by suggesting that further research in the area of attitude towards the stigmatized should differentiate between the cognitive, affective and activity components of the normal's reac tion to the stigmatized.

EFUSE DISPOSAL poses increasing problems for developed countries; but problems for . under-developed nations, though not apparent, will become real. In the U.K., disposal problems are becoming critical. However, it is our contention that I municipal refuse, far from being considered an embarrassment, should be considered as a valuable resource containing recyclable products of our high-technology society (e.g. metal, glass) and as a valuable source of fixed solar energy (cellulose, carbohydrate, plastics). The technology being developed in Manchester for the conversion of this organic waste, if successful, could in the long term offer the attractive ability of U.K.exported technology to produce oil from biomass on a global scale.

IN THE last five years there has been increasing official enthusiasm for the notion that all of us could and should improve our own health by changing our life style. This paper argues that this initiative will not only fail to lead to any significant improvement in people’s health, it is also profoundly anti-health. By ncouraging people to see their problems as their own ult, attention is distracted from the social and conomic roots of ill health and people’s confidence to challenge the societal causes of illness undermined. Lay people are interested in their own health, but will not be encouraged to take greater control over it while medical practice maintains them in a position of passivity and ignorance. If health workers want to help people to take more control over their own health, they

Whatever sport is considered the basic requirements of speed, strength, endurance and skill are common factors; each may be hampered by a prolonged absence from sport through injury. Recent advances in treatment are based on the following principles: injuries should be seen as soon as possible, diagnosis should be accurate, immobilisation should be for as short a time as possible, treatment should be intensive.
