The Lane County AIDS Hos
pico Services Inc . a communi
ty non-profit corporation, cre
ated the Acorn Club in May
1991.
I'inancial support for the
club comes from donations to
the Lane County AIDS Hospice
Services.
The club is run on a drop-in
basis and about 15 people at
tend each meeting, Penman
said.
Kedfield said the club serves
a dual purpose It gives people
who are HIV-positive "some
thing to come out of the house
for" and provides u needed
break to care-givers who may
be "totally run-down." Red
field said.
Willamette AIDS Council ed
m ation am! outreai h coordina
tor Doug DeVVitt said the Acorn
Club provides psychological
; an? for members, which is )ust
as important as medical care
There is a major bias to HIV
and people who are HIV-posi
tive." DeWitt said "The Acorn
Club is a safe place to lie and
talk and avoid all this awful
stuff directed at people with
HIV."
Lane County AIDS Hospice
Services’ agenda includes the
creation of an Acorn House,
Redfield said The proposed
specialized living facility will
house five to 10 people who are
in the advanced stages of AIDS
and who are unable to care for
themselves Also welcome will
lie those who are homeless or
whose family and friends can
no longer adequately meet their
care needs
Acorn House will be staffed
by health care professionals
who will be trained to provide
24-hour care to meet all of the
needs of people with AIDS

CODE
Continued from Page 1
"Should there hi; a chal
lenge to tin; University's
speech code, more weight will
probably he given to the Ore
gon Constitution than to the
federal Constitution."
Dave Fidanque, associate
director of the ACLIJ in Ore
gon. said that the University’s
speech code may indeed be
unconstitutional.
"The University of Oregon
code is unconstitutional, or
part of it. I think at least some
members of the administra
tion ure aware of that," he
said.
in Section 19 of the Student
Conduct Code, the University
prohibits harassment on Uni
versity property or at Univer
sity-sponsored or supervised
activities on the basis of race,
color, gender, national origin,
age, religion, marital status,
disability, veteran status or
sexual orientation
Section 19B prohibits hate
speech in the following cir
cumstances "Specifically in
sulting another person in his
or her immediate presence
with abusive words or ges
tures when a reasonable per
son would expect that such
act would cause emotional
distress or provoke a violent
response
Fidanque said it is this por
tion of Section 19 that may be
unconstitutional
"it's fine for the University
to prohibit students from in
tentionally provoking a fight,
but they can't prohibit all
conduct that might be consid
ered offensive.” lie said
Peter Swan, a University
law school professor and legal
aff.lirs assistant to President
Myles Brand, said the speech
code is constitutional.
"I've taken great care, and
made many revisions to make
sure it is in accordance with
till! stale and federal constitu
tions," he said,
Fidanque said that universi
ties should use education, not
punishment, to stop hate
speech.
"The attempts to punish
those kind of statements can
make it more difficult to root
it out, because it just guts
driven further underground,”
ho said.
