AIDS has permeated their lives
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
has estimated that for college students aged 1H
22. the risk of infection is one in 500. However,
some universities have done their own studies and
estimate a higher risk. especially for metropolitan
areas.
Another psycho-social aspect of the workshop
involves the prejudices and stereotypes that HIV
positive people may face. For this reason, a HIV
positive panel will sham how the virus has affected
their lives. This is important. Frank said, because
"we can see it on television and hear about it in tin
media. hut if you don't know someone who is HIV
positive, it just doesn't become real."
This workshop was first offered two years ago as
a pilot project for AIDS awareness on campus. When
the Health Department was nullified by Measure 5
budget cuts, the mandatory Health 250 class that
had a portion dedicated to AIDS education was
no longer available. The coordinators for "Not Just
Another AIDS Workshop" had been guest speakers
for that class, and they organized this workshop
to help fill the gap when it was cut. Frank said
"With HIV and AIDS, you need to get down and
dirty about it. You can't just fluff it over." she said.
The two-day workshop is offered for a $20 few os
a one-credit EDPM 407 course through the Uni
versity's Educational Department of Policy and Man
agement every fall and spring term It was also
included in the summer schedule for the first time
last term. Enrollment usually reac hes full capaci

schools, and the sales tax
would be implemented on a
trial basis, scheduled to be
voted on again in 1998.
Supporters of the sales tax
say the money raised,
expected to be S953 million
per year, will help schools
already suffering from bud
get cuts that have eliminated
programs and teachers.
Colleges and universities
could also benefit from the
sales tax. because money
from the General Fund, pre
viously earmarked for public
schools would be replaced
by sales tax money. More
money for higher education
could become available.
Those who oppose the
sales tax argue that it is
regressive and bad for busi
nesses. Furthermore, some
believe schools could find
funding by decreasing the
number of administrative
employees rather than teach
ers.
