From Staff Reports
Marc Price, the comedian best
known as television's Skippy, will
perform at Homecoming Comedy
Night in the Russell House
Ballroom, 8 p.m. tonight.
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

tries to cut j
comedian for the annual Comedv
Night celebration, and Marc Price's
popularity and recognition made
him an ideal choice.
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

sked a question about HIV in relaon
to AIDS. 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

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

symptomatic (clinical latency), is t
hronic symptoms and finally cou
IDS. The HIV virus is transmit- viru

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.

There is no one known who has

^ There are people with the HIV
^ virus who are living because they
are careful and take care of themi
selves, thereby slowing the
progress of the disease.
There is no confirmed cure or
vaccine for HIV, but you can lower
your chances of getting it by using
condoms and by not sharing nee-'
dies.
If you have any other questions,
feel free to contact the Thomson
Student Health Center or write in.
The National AIDS hotline and
DHEC can also answer your questions
about AIDS.
