Disal Open Door coi By SUSAN NESBITT Features editor USC's Open Door Health and Wellne organization has undertaken a Campus All Education program and is sponsoring a poster co test with a $50 prize to get students involved. The winning poster will be used in the campt wide AIDS education media campaign to be lau ched later in the semester. Two major messages ? the focus of the campaign, but posters need not a dress both. The messages are: The sexual spread the AIDS virus, HIV, can be prevented; and A quired immune deficiency syndrome is everyoni problem. "One problem we've found is that students ji don't want to hear about it (AIDS)," said Patri Barresi, a health education graduate student w cpn/pc qc Dnpn Hnnr'c oraHnafp rrinrH in a tnr JVI T VJ UJ v/pvit VV/1 J gl UMUMbV V\'V/I VtlJ.lMl.Vl campus AIDS education.

Tom Morton, coordinator of the College of it to Humanities and Social Sciences' Center for ival Enhanced Computer Applications (CECA), said the college of humanities and DSS hope to sponsor i af- a similar arts festival at USC this spring as part of the the Year of the Arts. in- "CECA's emphasis is on technology to assist the nal, physically challenged," Morton said. "In this Year ress of the Arts at USC, the university wantS to focus bled on abilities, not disabilities, and emphasize arts by and for the physically challenged. This festival in Ladson can give people an opportunity to see what can be done." The festival offers a non-competitive atmosphere for both the physically challenged and the able-bodied to share the joy of participation in the arts. Many local arts, civic and business organizations support the festival, and more than 3,000 people are expected to attend. Included will be artwork, performances and craft projects by professionals and amateurs, disabled and non-disabled people. There will be something for all ages, from dance, the U.S. Navy band, wandering minstrels and glassblowing to pottery spinning, basketry, woodcarving, storytelling, cookie decorating, body and thumbprint art ntest to increase people infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the numbers growing all the :ss time, the likelihood is that everyone will have to DS deal with someone who is either infected with the m- virus or actually has the disease. People need to form for themselves an intelligent and a compasis sionate response ? because we will all live with in- AIDS as a social fact," he said, ire id- The poster contest stems from the Campus AIDS of Education program's goals for this fall: to increase lc- awareness of AIDS on the USC campus; to ine's crease knowledge of AIDS facts regarding prevention of infection with HIV; to increase knowledge ist about the disease itself; and to increase awareness ck of the dynamics of sexual relationships and their ho consequences, as they apply to AIDS as well as of other sexually-related issues such as other sexually >or transmitted diseases, acquaintance or date rape, ter and premarital sex. in- "We could have bought the posters for our camto paign from some outside source," Barresi said, "but by having students design them, we're lot creating publicity, getting those we're trying to i," reach to take an active part in delivering the on message."

There will be an interpreter for the hearing impaired. The festival will also feature a booth at which art for the blind ? tactile art ? will be displayed. T. H. Woody of the art department said some of his 3-D art class students' work may be displayed there. Students were instructed to imagine they were blind and create works of art blind people could appreciate. The artists sculpted roughsurfaced shapes with clay ? human forms, balls and abstracts with undulating surfaces and depressions for fingers to explore, and imbedded in them materials with sensory qualities such as feathers, fur, pipe cleaners, coins and marbles. Sighted individuals at the festival may be blindfolded at the tactile art booth so that they can interpret and appreciate the art from the perspective of the visually impaired. The work of Woody's students will be displayed later on campus. Those interested in the trip should call Seema at 777-6742. DSS will help with transportation. "There's a picnic area, and refreshments are provided," Morton said. "Bring the family and make a day of it." He added that Very Special Arts is looking for additional art submissions and performers for the festival. [IDS awareness The contest is certainly not limited to art students, Barresi said, stressing that good ideas and slogans count, too. Posters will be judged on the ability of the artist(s) to address one (or both) of the above messages in a unique, original and tasteful manner. -Rules and information about the contest are available at Open Door, room 307 of the Thomson Student Health Center, or by calling 777-7619. Deadline for entries is 5 p.m., Oct. 7. Besides the poster contest, Barresi said, Open Door has several other ideas to get the word out, such as scheduling programs in each of the residence halls. Barresi said Open Door has several good videos on the subject of AIDS, but that effective programs would have to involve more than just plugging in the videocassette recorder ? perhaps discussion with members of a dorm housing the opposite sex or even role-playing. "Fall semester is a pilot for us," Barresi said. "We're testing several things out, seeing what response we get, then deciding what approach to take in the spring."
