I Grand Valley Lanthom *11 Thursday. September 7, 2006 OPINION editonal#lanthorn com EDITORIAL EDITORIAL CARTOON Safe over sorry Nearly 3,000 Americans are diagnosed each year with a deadly disease called bacterial meningitis. Grand Valley State University ’s Campus Health Center offers a vaccine to help combat the preventable illness. When students are young, it’s easy for many of them to feel invincible. Car crashes and life threatening diseases are things they see and hear about on television. If someone is not diagnosed with or affected by an illness, they are not always driven to take preventative measures. Young adults and adolescents account for 30 percent of bacterial meningitis cases in the United States each year. 80 percent of which could have been prevented. The disease, characterized by nausea, fatigue and high fever, can kill a healthy individual in less than 48 hours if untreated.

September 7, 2006 NATION / WORLD lanthorn#gvsu edu Mexico's president-elect calls for unity White House welcomes new leader while opponents reject his legitimacy By Will Weissert Associated Press Writer MEXICO CITY (AP) — Newly declared President elect Felipe Calderon began building his government Wednesday, and his supporters called on backers of leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to end weeks of national protests over the disputed July 2 election. Calderon held a series of private meetings early Wednesday and was scheduled to meet with President Vicente Fox later in the day to discuss the transition to his new government and next year's budget, said Fox's spokesman, Ruben Aguilar. Aguilar said President Bush called Fox early Wednesday to congratulate him on the end of a lengthy electoral process and the “strength of Mexico's democracy.** But weeks of angry rhetoric and tensions were likely to continue, as Lopez Obrador vowed to never recognize Calderon as Mexico's leader and said he would instead create his own parallel government.
