8 WCC CAMPUS VOICE - MAY 1, 1998 Students react to 20thL AIDS Seminar By NATISHA PEACOCK On Monday, February 23, 1998, Wayne Community College presented the 20th AIDS Seminar in the Lecture Hall from 7^9 p.m. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a life- threatening condition that by the latest definition is an incurable disease, according to Dr. James Atkins, lecturer for the first half of the seminar. WCC.students voiced their opinions of the seminar in writings they submitted for extra credit: Janet Hogue (ENG 114) I have been to these seminars before and found this one to have a higher attendance than others. I hope the audience became educated about this epidemic, and that this education will reduce the number of new HIV cases found in Wayne County in the years to come. Denise Sumrell (ENG 114) This was a great seminar. I wish everyone would attend a seminar on AIDS; then maybe we could start to fight the virus and educate the ignorant about it. Allison Johnson (ENG 114): Through the information provided by Dr. Atkins and the emotional testimonies of the guest speakers, the overall seminar expressed the importance of sexual safety and the effects this disease could have on anyone's life. Frances Mozingo (ENG 114) AIDS puts a fear in you that makes you want to protect yourself. I consider learning about AIDS an important part of academic knowledge. People today living at a fast pace do not take time to realize the danger in what they do. Brandi Price (ENG 113) The seminar was very productive and showed everyone the dangers and consequences of the AIDS virus. Bobby Byers (ENG 113) One of the things that hit me the hardest from the seminar was that the people on the panel affected with the AIDS virus were from Wayne County. Usually when you hear about this illness, you don't think it pertains to people in our town. I guess I don't want to accept the fact that it's really here in our town.
