he rearcomequences - by marla sherrill - icy used fun and games to educate others about sex. STD, HIV AIDS Peer Educators, or SHAPE, spon- sored a program to educate members of the Black Student Union about diseases caused by unsafe sex. During the Sept. 26 presentation, BSU members participated in activities like the Risky Behavior Game in the K-State Student Union. We each had a different color of postcard that ended up like a chain, and we were all having sex with each other, Ametria Tate, BSU member and sopho- more in sociology, said. Basically the game taught us that if you had sex with one person, you have sex with all the people they have had sex with. More than 60 BSU members attended the event. We learned about diseases that some never think about, Tate said. Most people don ' t research all the facts, and I think it is cool to remind us about all the diseases. SHAPE was established through Lafene Health Center. Reita Currie, student health education repre- sentative, said the program started as a volunteer peer education program. Three years ago, the program became SHAPE, and was offered as a three credit-hour class. The statistics are continually changing, so we have to educate ourselves, Shannon Yust, SHAPE, member and senior in psychology, said. One out of every 250 college students are HIV positive. The group put on programs for fraternities, sororities, University Experience classes and other organizations We gear it towards specific needs, Yust said. The black heterosexual women from rural communities are at the top of the list for being HIV positive. Jawwad Abdulhaqq, BSU president and sophomore in political science, said his organization benefited from the SHAPE presentation. Being African Americans, HIV and AIDS affects us, Abdulhaqq said. Everyone learned something and hopefully took something from it. The games and activities added to SHAPE ' S presen- tations, promoting positive attitudes and reducing fears related to sexual health. You are never too old to be reminded, and you can always learn something new, Tate said. You never know what type of diseases will be out there in two years with everyone fornicating. Members of Black Student Union trade different-colored cards during a presentation by SHAPE Sept. 26. The cards helped to demonstrate how easy it is to spread the HIV virus through unprotected sex and IV needles. (Photo by Jill jarsulic) -SHAPE- 2 I 9

Mariah Tanner, Chimes vice presi- dent and junior in human ecology, explains to Emily Simpson, junior in music education, how to write messages on the Valentine ' s Day candy grams. The group had diffi- culties finding a place to sell the candy grams. Because Smurthwaite was selling a similar product, Chimes members could not sell candy grams in the residence halls. Instead, they went to the greek houses and took phone orders. The new project only resulted in the sale of about 15 candy grams, which forced the group to plan more profitable fund raisers for the future. (Photo by Scott Ladd) On Feb. 13 members of Chimes prepare candy grams for delivery. The candy grams were sold on Feb 7-9, and were delivered to stu- dents on Valentine ' s Day. The candy grams were sold for $5. Each contained messages and Valentine ' s candy such as Russel Stovers Can- dies, peppermint nuggets and heart-shaped chocolates. Three dol- lars from each sale went to Chimes scholarship funds and new member selection, which required extensive paper work. (Photo by Scott Ladd) bj Jessica white - Vhimes junior honorary got into the Valentine ' s Day spirit by having a candy-gram sale. The candy grams, which contained sweets accompa- nied by a message, could be delivered anywhere in Manhattan on Valentine ' s Day. There is a total of seven heart-shaped candies in a variety of flavors in the package, Justin Kastner, junior in food science, said. They write down a cheesy message for their sweetheart and we will send it to them on Feb. 14. Candy grams cost $5 and $3 from each sale went towards Chimes scholarships and new member selec- tion, which involved a lot of paperwork. Hoping to market the fund raiser to a large number of students, members came up with a strategy. The week before Valentine ' s Day, members visited greek houses, promoting their candy grams. They planned to sell the candy grams Feb. 7, 8 and 9 in Kramer, Van Zile and Derby dining centers, Mariah Tanner, Chimes vice president and junior in human ecology, said. Unfortunately, not everything went as planned. Because of conflicts with other fund raisers, Chimes was not allowed to sell its candy grams in the residence halls. We could not sell in the residence halls because Smurthwaite was selling something similar at the same time, so we could only sell to the greek houses, Tanner said. The group only sold about 15 candy grams, Tanner said. We are going to have to look at another fund raiser, she said. Things look a little bleak right now. Toby Rush, Chimes president and junior in me- chanical engineering, said the group had not sold candy grams before. This is a pioneering idea, he said. We wanted to do something that would be fun for the whole group. Before deciding to do the candy grams, members had considered selling singing telegrams. That ' d be a lot of singing, and we aren ' t that good, Tanner said. Chimes 221
