One in 300 college students in the
United States is carrying the AIDS
virus, according to preliminary results
publicized by the federal Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) and the
American College Health Associa
tion (ACHS).
"This is very, very preliminary
data," said Anne Sims, public affairs
specialist with the CDC. "What was
mentioned represents less than a
quarter of the samples issued. It's part
of a family of surveys to determine
HIV (human immune deficiency
virus)."
About 5,000 students nationwide
have been tested. The findings will
mean more after the study finishes
; testing 20,000 students in February,
Sims said.
The study tested anonymous stu
dents from schools across the coun
try. There was no identifying infor
mation on the students who had been
tested, she said.
;X UNC was not among the 20 cam
puses tested, said Dr. Judith Cowan,
director of Student Health Service.

UNC must provide the funds
necessary for the expansion of Vic

center can serve the child care needs
of students, faculty and staff, speakers
said Thursday in a forum sponsored
by Victory Village and the Student
Action Union's N.C. Child Care and

University with day care service for
35 years and is licensed to care for
65 children, said Susan Whitenack,

Instead of last year's random
distribution, the first students in line
will be given lower-level tickets,' in
random order. When those are taken,
seats for the upper level will be
distributed on a first-come, first
served basis, beginning with the
lowest rows.
If the results are accurate, it would
mean that 60 UNC students are
carrying the virus, she said.
"I don't think we have any way to
know that these statistics apply now,"
Cowan said. There is a regional
distribution of AIDS, and it is more
prevalent in urban areas, she said.
Cowan emphasized that these test
results do not represent a random
sampling of students. The blood
tested was taken from students who
had a reason to go to their campus
student health service.
UNC's Student Health Service is
working with the AIDS Control
Program in Raleigh to set up an
anonymous HIV testing service.
"The service provides a place where
students can come in in a totally
anonymous fashion and ask about
AIDS testing," Cowan said. The
service should be in operation within
the month, she said.
The service is the first of its kind
to be offered by a state university,
said Kathryn Kerr, health educator
with the AIDS Control Program.

are 120 families on its waiting list,
which is often six months long,
Student Action Union (SAU)
member Joel Segal said.
The waiting list only includes
families who have actually made a
deposit. It does not include parents
who call to inquire about child care
services who may also need day care,
said Mary Bridgers, director of
Victory Village.

clients are students, and the rest are

"We basically put the ball in the

are sexually active have some tough
, choices to make now."
By Oct. 3 1 , there were 650 recorded
AIDS patients in North Carolina,
Kerr said. About 25 percent of those
were between 20 and 29 years old.
Since AIDS takes nine or 10 years
to surface, the majority of those
infected probably contracted the
virus in their teens and early 20s, she
said.
One in 17 teenagers in the state has
a sexually transmitted disease, and
this number only represents a portion
of sexually active young people, she
said.
"Each person who has sex without
a condom is potentially at risk for
contracting AIDS or other sexually
transmitted diseases," Kerr said.
The increase in intravenous drug
use is also partly responsible for the
high number of college students with
the AIDS virus, she said.
said.
Victory Village is one of the best
day care centers in the country but
must be expanded because all families
should have the right to inexpensive,
quality day care, Segal said.
"Students need day care so they can
go to school without worrying about
whether or not their children are
safe," he said. "Child care is not a
privilege; it's a right."
The issue of child care should not
only be of concern to women, but

it's nice that they're probably going
to get a lower level ticket," he said.
The old system discouraged stu
dents from attending games, Geer
said, because even camping out didn't
guarantee a good seat. "There was
a really negative attitude," she said.

Phofojoumalist encourages
sty deots to love what they do
By DANA CLINTON LUMSDEN
Staff Writer
Life is a series of struggles
against adversity, and success is
filled with the agonies of won
dering if you have lived up to your
potential, so life's greatest achieve
ment is to love what you do and
be happy with your own accom
plishments, Gordon Parks told a
full house in Hanes Art Center
Auditorium Thursday night.
Parks, a distinguished photo
journalist for Life magazine, as
'well as a novelist, movie director
and poet, spoke as part of the
UNC School of Journalism's semi
annual Reed Sarratt Distin
guished Lecture.
Success took a lot of motivation
and discipline, Parks said. "I
worked hard at whatever I did, be
it photography or film," said
Parks. "In case something failed
me, I would have something else
to do."
He faced adversity at a very
early age. "When I was 15, my
mother died and my brother
kicked me out in 35-degree
weather. I realized very soon that
I had been shielded," Parks said.
The adversity included racism
and bigotry, he said. "As I look
back on it now I realize that I was
fortunate," Parks said. "Instead of
using a gun or a knife, I used my
talent. I have reached a lot more
people by my choice."
The key to his success was being
aggressive. "Nothing I did was
conventional," he said. "Every
thing was like a beautiful
nightmare."
Parks said he became interested
in photography while watching a
war clip in a theater. "The filming
was over and there was an
announcement on the intercom for
the photographer to stand up, and
there was this man in a white suit
who stood up," he said. "I thought
that was so glamourous."
Soon Parks had his own exhibit
and was living in Paris where he

People all over America woke up
Thursday morning to a Carolina blue
sky, broadcast live from the UNC
campus in Chapel Hill.
Although the weather was down
right chilly, ABC-TV shot portions,
of its morning news show "Good
Morning America" live on the quad
in front of South Building from 7 a.m.
to 9 a.m.
The UNC program, which focused
on education, was one of a five-part
series hosted by Charles Gibson. The
series, called "Charles Gibson Across
America: The Vote and The Voter,"
focused on one important election
issue during each broadcast and was
broadcast from a different state each
morning.
The series began broadcasting
Monday from California with a show
focusing on defense. Other shows
higWighting defense issues and the
nation's economy were shot from
Texas and Illinois, respectively. On
"I don't blame them. They had no
control over the situation."
The change is part of the CAA's
continuing effort to improve distri
bution, Geer said. "We really hope
to make it fair," she said. "That's why
we keep changing it."

Friday the show, broadcast from
Philadelphia, will focus on the
candidates pet issues.
After the broadcast, Gibson said
North Carolina was chosen for the
broadcast because ABC wanted a
Southern state in its series, and
because the Democratic party had
targeted it as a crucial state in the
election.
"We wanted to visit the South
because it was targeted by the
Democrats," Gibson said. "With the
focus of this show being on education,
that brings us naturally to Chapel
Hill."
The show began with an overhead
view of the UNC campus, but because
of audio difficulties, the voice-over
was not heard.
The show included taped inter
views with Michael Dukakis and
George Bush, focusing on their views
of educational issues.

seats will be occupied by people who

the way. In the poem, Parks
