Price, 24, often suffers from an 'identity crisis' because his fans confuse him with his television character alter ego. Skippy was the fliiintpwntial 'Rfk nprrl nn thp hit NBC television series "Family Ties." He has dazzled crowds in comedy clubs across the country and has appeared on numerous television shows including "Comic Relief," "Comic Strip Live," and "Catch a Rising Star."

The son of legendary funnyman A1 Bernie, Price is a veteran of the comedy circuit. At the age of eight, Price was working with his dad on such historic stages as Grossingers and the Concord. He was the kind of kid who spent his formative years swapping jokes with the likes of Sid Caesar and Milton Berle. After being on the road with his father for many years, Price joined a troupe of young performers known as the Too Short For Prime Time Players, a kids' version of Saturday Night Live. The show was staged at various nightspots before settling in for a long run at er to V 1-93 football season/these ?wfr!

It occured to me that 111111 erhaps a lot of people have ques- t0 1 ons about this disease. 11011 HIV stands for Human Immuno 1 ificiency Virus and AIDS stands bod >r Acquired Immune Deficiency cut yndrome. blo< The two are related, but are not tect le same thing. You don't have to so c ave AIDS to have HIV. E There are four spectrums of the sex IV disease: acute infection, tear symptomatic (clinical latency), is t hronic symptoms and finally cou IDS. The HIV virus is transmit- viru d through bodily fluids such as A 1^1 I 1/ LKsLJ the Roxy. At the age of 14, he got his first shot at the big time by appearing on "The Merv Griffin Show." Soon Price appeared on such sitcoms as "One Day at a Time," "Archie Bunker's Place," and, of course, "Family Ties," where Skippy eventually became a recurring character. Price starred in the feature film Trick or Treat with Ozzy Osbourne. He also appeared in The Rescue and Killer Tomatoes Eat France. He has been a host on Disney's Teen Win, Lose, or Draw for four seasons. Price's ability to improvise coupled with his strong grasp of current issues among college students will make his show a hip alternative to his years as Skippy. llll^ mg I TlTta An!!! | sponsors have i games of the )onsors and a n the Monday's na Tech ! icate I YOUR name an i ft *, p < Sr; ( Zinemas 10 Center Athletic Club r. igue Lanes /er Rd. ;le Lanes ^ :a, Cayce Jl s Una! cation a modern od, semen and vaginal fluids. stream, it attacks T4 cells, whicl Uthough these fluids are consid- are special cells which work for th i to be most capable of trans- immune system.
