Republican Party.

The recommendations for tougher
admissions and course requirements
for teaching schools being discussed
by the Joint Committee on Teacher
Education will not greatly affect the
UNC School of Education, according
to officials.
"What we are trying to do is
improve the quality of teachers in
conjunction with the curriculum,"
said committee member Cary Owen
of the State Board of Education.
One of the recommendations
involves raising the overall grade
point average required to 2.5 for
admission to a school of education.

Experts discuss emotional effects of AIDS
By ANDREA SHAW

Venereal disease and pregnancy
were once their biggest fears, but
AIDS has become a top concern for
women, the fastest growing group
with the disease.
Suzi Perry, AIDS coordinator and
educator at North Carolina Memor
ial Hospital, accompanied by Dr.
Paul Becherer of the infectious
disease department, mapped out the
physical and psychological aspects of
the disease at a public forum Thurs
day night.
"We're no longer just looking at
pregnancy," Perry said. "We are
looking at our lives."
' Perry said part of understanding
AIDS is acknowledging it as an
emotional as well as physical disease.
."There are few support groups for
women because few - people realize
what their needs .are once they get
the disease," she said.
And part of that support begins
with prevention, Perry said. Once
,known as sexually passive, women
are taking a more active role in sex.
; She said many women are buying
condoms and suggesting condom use
; as part of sex.
"A jar sits on my desk and people
don't get candy any more they get
a condom," Perry said. "It's no longer
free-love 60s; it's the fear-of-AIDS
80s."
Becherer said the combined use of
condoms and a spermicide is most
effective against the virus, with a
maximum effectiveness rate of 90

The lawsuit said the election
process violates the First and 14th
Amendments to the Constitution,
said Alan Foster, attorney for the
firm of Foster, Conner, Robson &
Gumbiner, who are handling the suit.
In some districts, there are enough
Republicans to elect a Republican
judge, but a Republican has not won
a judgeship in state-wide election in
this century, Minton said.
The N.C. General Assembly will
fight this lawsuit, said Jim Wallace,
assistant attorney general for the N.C.
Board of Elections, named as a
defendant in the suit.
"Our basic feeling is that any law
passed by the General Assembly is
improve N.C. teaching schools
already requires students seeking
admission to the school to have a
GPA of at least 2.1.
William Burke, associate professor
for the School of Education, said the
UNC education school began raising
the required GPA before a task force
made the recommendations this year.
Another of the recommendations
requires that universities eliminate
basic undergraduate courses offered
only for education majors. For
example, teaching students should
not be offered a math course less
difficult than the one other students
are required to take.
"We want to get rid of courses that
assume education majors are not as
apt as other majors and that they need
percent.
But many men do not know how
to use condoms properly, Perry
added. She said she instructs at least
one male each week on proper
condom use.
"All women should know the
proper use of a condom," she said.
"It can be difficult to use, but you
can be creative or experiment with
different brands."
Even precautions sometimes do
not work. For those who get AIDS,
admitting that they have the disease
is the hardest part, she said.

"North Carolina is a state of minds

watered down courses," said Donald
Stedman, associate vice president for
academic affairs.
This recommendation will not
affect UNC students, Burke said,
since the University offers no such
courses.
The most controversial recommen
dation involves requiring undergrad
uate teacher education students to
complete a second major in one of
the basic academic disciplines or in
an interdisciplinary major. At Tues
day's meeting, several of the commit

this recommendation.

Two tests, ELISA (enzyme linked
immunosorbent assay) and the West

four weeks to about three months
after infection, Becherer said. Anyone
testing negative is re-evaluated within
six months.
But for those testing positive,
AIDS counseling begins. "You want
to let them absorb the information
and help them face the disease before
the real therapy begins," Perry said.

students favor a user's fee, which
would allow students to pay each time
they use the' system;
Lanier said he proposed a user's
fee when he began investigating the
purchase of the system, but officials
rejected the idea.
Student Congress Speaker Rob
Friedman said he didn't think a user's
fee would be feasible because the
intake of money would be too slow,
and the fund being used to buy the
system must be repaid.
"You can't dictate totally where
your money's going to go," Friedman
said. "It's just a fact of life.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People won
a suit last year, forcing some re
districting, which provided opportu
nity for election of black judges,
Wallace said. But the General Assem
bly did not change the election
process, he said.
A 1981 precedent-setting case in
Indiana said districting must be based
on population and political affilia
tion, Minton said.
The case, Davis vs. Bandemer,
established that discrimination
should not deprive a political minor
ity of its influence on the state as a
whole, said Foster, who handled the
case,.
"The majority cannot be blatantly
the proposed requirement because it
would require a five-year instead of
a four-year education.
"What I am saying is that we not
pile on top of what one is taking now
an additional major that's another
20 or 30 hours," Robinson said. "That
is not a service, but in my opinion
a disservice to the youngster."
But Burke agreed with the
recommendation.
"I think it's a good idea," he said.
"First, teaching is the fundamental
transmission of knowledge. It is also
important that they have a coherent
major, and that there is a definite
scope and sequence to courses in a
major field."
For women, accepting that they
have AIDS is difficult. Living with
partners, children and family is a
small but crucial part of acknowledg
ing the illness, Perry said.
"Many don't want to tell their
children or families for fear of
isolation for their loved ones," she
said. "And that's just the beginning.
It is hard to find physicians or
counselors who will meet their
needs."
Members of the community must
be educated about AIDS before they
can offer support. Providing accurate
AIDS information is a primary goal
of the Women's Health Counseling
Service, which sponsored the forum,
said volunteer Susan Julian.
To date, about 42,000 cases of
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn
drome have been reported in the
United States, and seven percent of
those people arer women. By 1991,
that number will increase to about
270,000.

"The suit raises the question of
gerrymandering and manipulating

secretary for the governor.
Martin supports the change in the
election process and is routinely

Foster will try to win an injunction
to force the 1988 elections to be held
in districts, he said.
