It is especially important that University students be aware of AIDS because young people often feel invincible, Dochnahl said. "One of the present burdens of college campuses with the spread of HIV is people's feel ings of invincibility." she said. "People, particularly young peo ple. are try ing to convince them selves that they are going to be OK because otherwise they'll be scared to death. 'The AIDS virus is not dis ■ riminatlng. and it spreads to whoever comes into intimate contact with it." she added Joanne Frank, director of health education, said feeling invincible can lead people to not take actions that prevent the spread of AIDS, such as the use of condoms. There are segments of the University that do think about preventive measures when twing sexually intimate." Frank said. "But there is a larger seg ment that doesn't " The disease affects everyone, she said, but added that in -i America, AIDS is the number one filler of men ages 25 to 45 It is the fourth largest killer of women ages 25 to 45 "The numbor of men who are HIV positive is higher, but the rates of infection for heterosexu al women is increasing faster than it is for men,” Dochnahl said. “The disease is quickly enter ing young heterosexual popula tions, which is no surprise since they tend to be sexually active with a lot of partners.” Frank said "The reality is that HIV and AIDS affects us all, whether we know someone with HIV or not. It's multi-layered in its impac ts soc ially, culturally, eco nomically, politically and indi vidually " Outreach and HIV Coordina tor. Najhmeh Moshtael, said AIDS has gone from being an issue that is too private to be dealt with publicly to one with a wider, more public, audience. "Hint was the argument in the ‘80s. It's a private matter, so don't do anything about it.'" Moshtael said. But now what was considered a private bedroom topic is being discussed on the Senate floor, Moshtael said. Frank said it is important for people to attend the- events and he port of a collective voice demanding a cure for AIDS. "We need to realize os indi viduals that something needs to be done because IAIDS) is not going away," she said. "Just because we’ve been hearing about it since 1983. it doesn’t mean (the disease) is self-correcting,” Dochnahl said. “If people remain impassive, it will simply continue to esca late.” Dochnahl said that some peo ple may wonder how going to a World AIDS Day event will make a difference. “Instead of feeling helpless and hopeless, people should come to show that they c are.” she said. "It's about empathiz ing. It's not a disease that any body wants and it is a tragic: one.” I Gifts for Artists... ♦ Airbrushes# Fountain Pens# Easels# ♦FRIENDLY HELP# Brushes♦ ♦ Portfolios# Sketch Books# Inks# ♦ Art Books ♦ INFORMATION ♦ ♦ Calligraphy Sets #Color Pencils# ♦ SELECTION ♦ Handmade Papers# ♦ Paint Sets ♦ Furniture ♦ ♦ GIFTS FOR ARTISTS# ® 683-2787 720 Ecu* 1 3»h Ave upstairs in the University Center Building 8 30 7 00 Mon 1000-5 30 Sot 1200-5 30 Son Fn limited to ftocfc on hand WUNPERIAND ***** 1 c I VIDEO 'GAMES Stfi STREET PUBLIC HARKET 683-8464 VMO APVEimJR^ VALLf V RJVCR f^LAlA ilTiTiTiTi' l,tm Iqtt* • »3MII
