Events promote
HIV awareness
University residence halls
and the HIV Alliance of Eugene
are sponsoring five days
of events, including a vigil

Every day, about 6,000 people be
tween the ages of 15 to 24 become
infected with HIV, according to the
National Institute of Allergy and In
fectious Diseases. To put it in per
spective: One college-age person is
contracting HIV every 14 seconds —
every minute of every day — and
there is no cure.
This week, the University resi
dence halls and the HIV Alliance of
Eugene are sponsoring five events
to raise awareness about the threat
of HIV. Resident assistant Matthew
Strickland said HIV has not been
widely discussed on campus dur
ing the past few years, and he
added this year’s events are espe
cially important.
“HIV is still a very threatening dis
ease, and it’s changing,” Strickland
said. “The statistics are staggering.
People under 25 now account for
half of all new HIV infections in the
U.S., and as many as one in three
Americans living with HIV or AIDS
do not know they have it.”
Events will include discussion
panels, movies, games and a candle
light vigil commemorating individu
als who have been affected by HIV or
AIDS. The goal of the week is to raise
awareness of HIV, but Ruthie Rivera,
another RA involved in the week’s
events, said it takes more than
awareness to guard against HIV.
“The only way people can truly
protect themselves from HIV is
through education,” Rivera said.
“And it seems there is not much ed
ucation about this disease on- or off
campus. Students need to be open to
learning about this disease because
education will be their biggest de
fense against contracting it.”

ability to fight infections and certain
cancers by killing or damaging cells
of the body’s immunity system ac

through only four bodily fluids: sem
inal fluid, vaginal fluid, breast milk
and blood. It is not spread through
saliva, urine or tears.
“Most people feel like they are
pretty knowledgeable about HIV,”
HIV Alliance gay/bisexual coordina
tor Curtis Borloglou-Boyd said.
“Yet, most people can’t name the
four fluids that transfer HIV. People
need to be more than aware that
this disease exists; they need to un
derstand the disease in order to
protect themselves.”
HIV can be spread through unpro
tected sex, contact with infected
blood, injection with contaminated
needles or syringes, or from mother
to child during pregnancy.
HIV doesn’t just affect one demo
graphic — half of all HIV carriers
are women, according to a Decem
ber report from the National Insti
tute of Health.
Borloglou-Boyd added that the
college-age population is seeing an
increase in the spread of the disease.
“It’s not to say only people in col
lege are susceptible to HIV, but it’s a
good area to tap into and work on
education,” he said.

Assembly
continued from page 1
after several assembly meetings
drew scant attendance, University
archivist Heather Brinston said.
“They were afraid that they
would violate public meeting laws if
they kept governing authority with
the assembly,” Brinston said.
According to Brinston, the 1995
meeting was attended by less than
one-third of assembly members.
Prior to the 1995 meeting, the
assembly had met with full author
ity once in the previous 30 years,
Brinston said.
On May 6,1970, just two days af
ter the Kent State massacre, the as
sembly gathered to discuss a resolu
tion opposing the war in Vietnam.
Because of the huge number of peo
ple wanting to attend and speak at
the meeting, the congregation met
at McArthur Court. After several
speeches and discussion, the facul
ty senate passed a resolution against
the war.
University President Dave Frohn
mayer has said repeatedly he does
not believe passing resolutions is
part of University business. He
called Friday’s meeting only after a
petition circulated by Concerned
Faculty for Peace and Justice was
signed by more than 508 members
of the University voting faculty.
The success of the petition has
given students and assembly mem
bers hope that the resolution will
pass regardless of the administra
tion’s position.
“This shows a really important
separation between the faculty and
the administration,” Students for
Peace member Philippa Anderson
said. “The administration is not rep
resentative of the University.”
