College Notes Top 10 party schools oppose photos University of Miami ? School officials have refused to let the Miami Hurricane run a Playboy ad asking women to pose nude. Playboy is on its annual hunt for publicity and women from the nation's "Top 10 party schools" to pose nude. Officials at Mercer University, the Baptist school named ninth most active party campus by the magazine last month, also said thpv hnna Kn i.?v/ mv/jjv uiv ^iiutugia^ncn uun i tunic (U lllCll CctllipilS.

College declares milk crate amnesty Concordia Teachers College, Neb. ? In response to an arrest made about stolen milk crates, CTC officials declared an amnesty for crate felons who turn in their contraband. As one teacher put it, they hoped to remind students "of the Seventh Commandment." The amnesty earlier this month brought in 143 crates, or more than one for every ten students at the Lutheran campus. Plan prices tuition according to major SANTA FE, N.M. ? New Mcxico Gov. Garrcy Carruthers has suggested a plan to make students pay tuition according to how much they expect to earn after graduation. Under that plan, engineering and medical students would pay more to go to state colleges than English majors. Critics have said it would force low-income students who couldn't pay high tuition to major in areas that ultimately be worth less money. Football fans get sexual suggestions University of Mississippi ? The Daily Mississippian student newspaper printed a 900 telephone number advertised to tell callers which football recruits Ole Miss signed on national letter-of-intent day earlier this month. But the number belonged instead to Penthouse magazine, whose phone service is a taped female voice making sexual suggestions. Ole Miss's sports information office, which provided the number, apologized. "All we can do is undergo the embarrassment :* n j i T ? ? - ui ii, aaiu sputicMiiaii J^angsion KOgcrs. ' Smell; building causes demonstration North Adams State College, Mass. ? Forty students and professors demonstrated and chanted "To hell with the smell" in an effort to force the university to repair a campus building. Years of roof leakage have created a sludge that runs down the walls and emits what Professor Neil McLeod calls an "emitic" smell. College President Katherine Tisinger's office replied that the state had delayed repairing the roof to fix other "emergency" status state buildings, but may get to the campus building this summer.

"The purpose of the panel is to educate people about the present situation with regard to the medical facts about AIDS, the support systems for caring for patients who are living with AIDS and also to give the sort of Christian context to how we should deal with persons who arc living with AIDS," said Father Edward Robinson, USC's Catholic chaplain. The panel discussion also featured Dr. James J. Gibson, associate professor of preventive medicine; Bill Edens, executive director of the Palmetto AIDS Life Support Services; and Catherine Rossiter Hackett, PALSS volunteer. The speakers also answered questions from the audience of about 30 USC students and community members. Gibson began the discussion on AIDS by describing what the disease is and how it works within the human body. "Basically what happens in AIDS itself, of course, is that people get recurrent and really serious infections, life threatening infections or certain kinds of cancers because this virus and perhaps other things that have happened to them have destroyed their immune resistance to infections," Gibson said. "This is a very new event as far as we know in human history," he said. T rustee_ Continued from pago 1 executive members, including the Alumni Aj governor and chairmen of the board.

FIN / sses problen Gibson showed a series of slides on the AIDS dilemma. "The first problem, of course, is that there has been an irrational wave of fear, a real fear in people for their own personal safety or the safety of their children and loved ones," Gib nuii saiu. Gibson then discussed the stages of the disease, which begins with contraction of the immune deficiency virus. The most popular target of the virus is the t-lymphocyte cell, he said. The t-helper lymphocyte is the conductor of all the immune cells in the body. When thelpcr cells are destroyed, the body loses its ability to fight off infections, Gibson said. Gibson said there are three ways to contract the disease: through sexual contact, blood transfusion, blood products or through an affected woman who bears a child and passes the disease on to the child. The disease goes through stages. The first stage is an acute infection, much like mono with swollen glands, rash and fever. The next stage is the asymptomatic infection when the virus is in the latent state, which can last for months or years. The final stages lead to the development of increasing clinical illness which the body is unable to fight. The body is weakened so badly that most of the victims who reach this stage die, Gibson said. Gibson also presented figures on the impact of AIDS in society over the past six years. ssociation to sit on the USC student governm >user said this defeats dent would become the ;ident James Holder- ecutive member.

M The next speaker, Eden, discussed PALSS and how the organization is working to help AIDS victims and their families. "We have two programs," Eden said. "The first is peer counseling, where our volunteers work one-on-one with people who have been diagnosed with the virus. We have a buddy program which is designed to help people with full-blown AIDS provide practical and emotional support." In addition, the programs provide referrals to governmental services and legal service such as preparation of wills and educational services on safe sex and the AIDS virus, he | ) said. Eden also discussed the problems AIDS victims face in getting health care when their insurance has been cancelled or when they did not have insurance coverage, and they were r\ 1 * /lipnKililtr }7ui v/xi unauiiiiy sji lvicuiicuu. "The health care of AIDS is expensive. I don't think they realized the magnitude of the problem ? a cost of $150,000 just for hospitalization," Eden said.
