were a couple of disappointed fresh
men that said they think the pro
gram is a nice idea but they do not
have a lot of participation; in other
words their big Sister did not come
by to see how they are doing. But
generally the program has worked
well.
Big sisters say they love the
fact that they are being looked up to
and respected. Tara Gross, a junior,

perience very rewarding. In fact, who
else were they expecting to get the job
done right and well?
Civil rights is a subject that
McKissick-Kemp has eaten, slept and
breathed all her life. She accompanied
her father, a former national member
of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality
from 1966 until 1968) to marches and
protests. McKissick-Kemp was
involved in the intergration of southern
elementary schools. She has been the
hostess to many black leaders at her
home, such as Martin Luther King Jr.,
Jesse Jackson and Malcolm X.
McKissick-Kemp plans to
chronicle a book on her father’s
experiences during the civil rights
movement. She also gives presentations
on civil rights, med'and leadership in the
90’s to keep her father’s legacy alive.
ADVICE COLUMN
Don't be scared: Get tested
DEAR ROXI,
I am a happy go lucky person.
I have a sometime relationship with a
guy that I love. We are both sexually
active with other people. When we are
together we have unprotected sex. A
month ago he told me he was HIV
positive and to show him how much I
love him, we are together as a couple
and not just strangers in the night.
Lately I have been having symptoms
of illness. I think I now may have the
HIV virus also but I am afraid to get
tested. Can you tell me what to do or
where to go to get help.
Signed Afraid
Dear Afraid,
The only thingl can say is that
you go to the local Health Department
and get an anonymous HIV test and go
every six months. This is your health,
you need to look out for you, you still
can live a normal life.
DEAR ROXI,
I think my friend’s boyfriend
beats on her. I don’t want to bring the
subject up around her, but I want to
know if he does so she can get help,
What do I do?
Please see Roxi, page 6
