2 Journalism co students with By TIM SWICK Staff Writer The College of Journalism and Mass Communications recently had four students selected to receive honors. Three students were selected for Dow Jones Newspaper Fund editing internships this summer. "It's unusual for a program to have one student participating," said journalism Professor Henry Price, who teaches the copy editing class and recommends students for the internship. "It's rare for a program to have two. Three puts us in an elite that you could count on the fingers of one hand and probably have one or two fingers leftover." More than 800 students from across the nation competed for the editing internships, Price said, and 60 were selected. Journalism junior Chris Muldrow and journalism graduate students Allison Fraternity poster By College Press Service Officials at Pi Kappa Phi's national headquarters were frustrated: The message about AIDS just wasn't getting through to young college men and women who were putting their lives at risk by having unprotected sex. so tne rraternity decided to do something to illustrate the danger in a more graphic and humorous method, and the result is an eye-catching wall poster designed to startle students into action. Subtle it ain't. The 22-inch-by-28-inch color poster, , taken from an ancient Indian painting and first published in 1883 in the Kama Sutra of Vatsyavana, shows an amorous couple locked in a rather athletic sexual position. A strategically placed warning box says, "If you think this looks dangerous, try doing it without a condom." , Smaller print reads "No sexual act is more death-defying than sex without protection. Don't put yourself in that position." Copies of the posters were mailed to the fraternity's 140 chapters throughout the nation. < Durward Owen, chief executive offi- I Mow If All V #1 . . acl# *t rjfo t??rr ??- .*> i?fjv<yi?> quest Student Government ele ' the corner and the ball who claim they are th Now's your chance to ; agendas really are all abc [ Come to the SGA debate for president, vice presid what's on your mind.

Additionally, the Direct Marketing Educational Foundation selected advertising senior Michelle Klingman as one of 32 U.S. students to attend the Direct Marketing Collegiate Institute from Feb. 5-9 in Denver. "I'm excited about being able to go," Klingman said. "I'm hoping to be able to meet students from other universities and network a little with them. "You have to make the best of an opportunity like this. Hopefully, if everything goes well, the institution will even help me get a job." During the institute, leading experts in the field of direct marketing will teach sessions on direct marketing media, lists and database marketing, direct marketing applications and resume/career information. combats AIDS cer of the national fraternity, said Pi Kappa Phi officials knew they would catch some heat for the poster, which he frankly admitted "borders on pornography," but he said the importance of the message ultimately outweighed questions of taste.

In a letter that accompanied the posters, Owen wrote: "This is a poster which will undoubtedly be controversial. It is our sincere hope that it gets your attention. If it does not... then it has been for naught." The letter further points out that "Sex was never safe, and it is less safe now than it has ever been. Sexual lovemaking between humans is not, and cannot be, the thoughdess instinctual coupling of animals; it is not safe." Before mailing the posters, many different people, including feminist groups, were consulted about its graphic message, Owen said.
