Health Clinic Will Answer AIDS Questions What's new on campus? You can write the Health Clinic with your questions or concerns regarding AIDS. AIDS is a very pressing issue today and needs to be addressed. More than 28,492 cases have been diagnosed in the United States as of December of 1986. Education is the key to slowing down the spread of this deadly disease. Along with the support of the faculty and staff 1 will be arranging educational meetings, sending out information, and compiling resources in our community to help inform you, t h e s t u d e n t , of y o u r responsibility and your suceptability to this fatal but preventable disease. What really is AIDS? AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency S y n d r o m e which means the immune system does not fight off infection as it normally would. A person with AIDS is more vulnerable to infection and specifically pneumonia, meningitis, tuberculosis, and certain forms of c a n c e r . E v e n t u a l l y they become so overwhelmed with disease they die. HTLV III s t a n d s for H u m a n T Lymphotrophic Virus Type III and is the specific virus that causes AIDS. The HTLV III attacks the lymphocytes which are a type of white blood cells. Lymphocytes include several sub groups which work together to operate the immune system and prevent infection in the body. One type is the Helper T Cells, preventing them from doing their job of preventing infection. What is ARC? Aids Related Complex includes a variety of clinical conditions that may occur as a result of HIV or HTLV III infection, but which do not meet the Center for Disease Control's definition of AIDS. Symptoms may include chronic swollen glands, recurrent fevers, unintentional weight loss.

chronic diarrhea, lethargy, minor alterations of the immune system (less severe than those that occur with AIDS), and oral Yeast infection. How is AIDS spread? AIDS is not easily transmissible believe it or not. It is spread through sexual contact, needle sharing, or less c o m m o n l y t h r o u g h transfusions of infected blood or blood components. Direct blood to blood or semen to blood contact appears to be necessary to transmit this virus. There is no evidence that AIDS can be spread through air, water, food, or casual body contact. If this was the case the number of people affected would be even greater. I invite you to write me with your questions on AIDS. Each month I will publish an article answering your questions and informing you of the latest facts on AIDS. Write: Linda Dalman R.N., Health Services or call ext. 7585
Setting The Record Straight A review last week of the play "As You Like It" incorrectly spelled Chris Beazlev's name. Beazley played the role of Selvius. An article last week about kicker Duy Dang incorrectly stated that the MI A A season record for field goals was six. Doug Cooper set the record last year with eight. A story on the MIAA football players of the week incorrenctly spelled Chris Wasczenski's n a m e in the first reference. The anchor r e g r e t s the inconvenience and errors. 1

Students in need of funding for the current and next academic terms were urged today to order a free financial aid planning calendar from The Scholarship Bank. This vital planner includes critical aid deadlines, addresses and phone n u m b e r s of aid sources and tips on applying for aid. According to the director, Steve Danz, over 500 million dollars is available in private aid to college students, and in many cases can cover up to twenty-five percent of a student's annual college costs. These funds are contributed by corporations, t r a d e , civic and non-profit foundations. They are normally a w a r d e d on n o n - t r a d i t i o n a l basis, such as a c a d e m i c standing, college major, geographic p r e f e r e n c e s , and even on a student's willingness to undertake a special research A
Last year, fires were started at fraternity houses at Western Illinois University, Colorado School of M i n e s , a n d t h e Universities of Denver and Colorado, amid anonymous notes and police suspicions they were related to recent sexual assault and h a r a s s m e n t c o m p l a i n t s leveled at local f r a t e r n i t y members. Police, however, were unable to establish any connection between the arsons on the different campuses. In a p r e s s r e l e a s e t h a t mysteriously showed up at The Daily Illini offices last week, however, the anonymous group promised more anti-greek "direct action" because "local social-service agencies have received an alarming number of calls from female victims of rape occuring in fraternity houses."
