A Portland w om an's song praising
monogam y has won the national com peti
tion of “ W omen and A ID S -R eaching Out
Through Songs and Stories.”
"W ild O ats,” the winning entry, was

interest of kcepin' this little hope alive/
D o n 't go sow in' your wild oats in any
pasture but m ine.”
The com petition was created to help
raise awareness of HIV/AIDS as it affects
women and to foster AIDS education, lead
