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

surveyed about 100 resident advisers last semesi
as part of a needs assessment, and the R.A.s
dicated a reluctance on the part of students
educate themselves about the disease.
"Students need to know that while you may r
become infected, you will be affected by AIDS

Student Services of USC is sponsoring the trip.
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."

and face painting. 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." The Second Annual Student
AIDS Conference is in the works for next semester,
