The only sure way to prevent AIDS is to not have sexual contact. There is no cure for AIDS, but scien- tists are doing research to find a drug to control HITLV-III without harming the person carrying the virus. Scientists hope that a cure can be found, but until then, prevention is the only solution. p - 4 a . .-. 4 -. . . . . . . . . . . . . - ., . . a if f . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,fre . . . . . . . . 4 . . . .

According to Newsweek Magazine, March 1985, at least one out of ten teenage girls be- comes pregnant before she reaches the age of twenty. There are more than one million babies being born to teen- age parents. In March of 1985, the Alan Gut- tamcher Institute demonstrated that the problem is more common than we realize.

Girls who know who they are and where they want to go in life are less likely to become pregnant, explained Nancy Hopkins, Director of TAPP tTeenage Parenting Program! in Tempe. You need to have goals for yourself and decide what you want to do with your life. As Dr. John Ashton, a British expert puts it, A country such as the U.S. is way ahead in the prevention of phys- ical diseases-why not in the preven- tion of pregnancy? -By Karen Kinzie Suicide: A Cry For Help! .....-.........-.o ...........'-'--'-Q- suicide attempt occurs every two-and-a half minutes. Most of the teenagers who attempt sui- cide DO NOT want to die, the attempt is often a cry for help. Feelings of worthlessness, failure, and lack of purpose are common emo- tions that lead teenagers to suicide. Expections for success are often placed beyond attainability, causing depression and a sense of failure. Un- stable relationships with friends and family may produce neglect, loneli- ness, or lack of understanding. Death, divorce, and breakups also cause de- spondency and grief. - Indications of a possible suicidal teenager may involve unexpected changes in behavior, followed by dis- ruption in sleeping and eating patterns, - giving away valued possesions, and above all, taking dangerous chances - with his life. Actions may be taken to prevent a - suicide. Being positive and encourag- ing the person to talk about his feel- - ings, without passing judgement on him may help, moreover, offering other al- - ternatives, such as help, is vital. Last but not least, one must let the unstable - teenager know someone cares! ithin the last few years, many changes in society's attitude to- ward marijuana and other drug! alcohol use among teens have appeared. Penalties have been minimized, and in some states, marijuana has been legal- ized. As a result drug abuse by America's teens is on the rise. Many teens may think that drugs are harmless, drug awareness will help curb the abuse.

lowcin Coucuses 'V ' Mft' ,,,,,,..,,, . Choose Ccinclidotes ' u The people of lowa again had the awe- some responsibility of selecting candi- dates who will serve their country well. These citizens of Iowa influence many other people's votes in other states indi- rectly by choosing certain winners and losers. ln the Republican caucus, the voters simply vote by secret ballot, and candi- dates were ranked by the number of votes. The Democrats, however, formed groups within their towns, and the small groups were disqualified, These noncom- mitted people were then asked to join other groups: those who didn't, formed their own. A quota of delegates from each group was sent to the next level to start over. Both sides did their best to insure that a good future Chief Executive won. il ..

It all start- ed with flight 255 from Detroit to Phoe- nix, where the plane crashed into an overpass. The crash killed all the pas- sengers aboard except for Cecilia Sheehan, a young girl traveling with her parents. Cecilia received burns on her skin but recovered quickly. This was fol- lowed by several crashes involving smaller planes. Finally, there was a large crash near a rural town in Califor- nia in which the entire plane exploded, scattering debris all over the ground. lt was said that this crash was caused by a bullet shot into a cockpit of the plane by a disgrunted former employee. Yes, this was the year for plane crashesg hopefully, there won't be any more. Stock Mcirket Plunges, 508 Points rig., he stock market may not appeal too much to high school students, but it has an extreme effect on the adult population. While some invest in stock for speculation, others take it far more seriously. When one invests, a high risk is taken. Although the stock market had been steadily rising during the past few years, there always existed the possibility of a fall. In October of 1987, the stock mar- ket plunged. Stock owners paniced and sold stocks, causing the Dow-Jones ln- dustrial Average to sharply decline. Monday, October 19, 1987, was the biggest one-day point loss in history, dropping five hundred and eight points. The frustration of the crash was so dev- astating that fifty-three-year-old Arthur Kane went into an office after finding out about the crash and shot his two brokers and himself. President Ronald Reagan said the stock market plunge has alerted us of potential dangers on the economic hori- zon. Continued instability characterized the American exchange for several weeks as American and foreign inves- tors waited for Congress and President Reagan to take steps toward reducing the nation's deficit. Tenatively, inves- tors regained confidence, and growth seemed promising. ..,... In eo ard ..,. Having won a majority with only 4O0lo of the vote, a newly-elected Governor. Evan Mecham immediately faced prob- lems. An initial lack of support bal- looned, when he rescinded the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday established by ' former Governor Bruce Babbitt. With ' the growing lack of cooperation with . the media and haphazard slurs against ' blacks, jews, women, and homosex- . uals, to name a few, the alienation ' grew until a recall effort successfully collected enough signatures for a May ' 17 recall election. As if that were not enough, Mecham was indicted on ' charges of campaign fund fraud, and after a 46-14 vote in the State House, - faced an impeachment hearing by the ' State Senate. This decision brought - great controversy even by recall sup- ' portors. - While awaiting the Senate's im- peachment decision, the law dictated - that Governor Mecham step aside and . the Secretary of State function as act- - ing governor.

One out of every 74 Americans will eventually die from someone who was drinking while driving. Most who are convicted have no previous crimi- nal record. More than half have report- . ed incomes of 310,000 or more a year, and about twenty percent had attend- ed college. Following is an example of how dangerous drinking and driving can be. On May 3, 1980, Carrie Lightner, her way to a school carnival, was struck and killed by a hit-and-run drunk driver. He had only been out of jail on bail for two days from another hit-and- run. Laura Lamb of Maryland is a quadra- plegic. When only five months old, she and her mother were on their way to the grocery store when their truck was hit head on by a drunk driver.

The three types of skin cancer are Basal, Squamos, and Malignant Mela- noma. Basal and Squamos got their names from the cells that create them: approximately 300,000 cases of Basal and Squamos are found every year in the United States. Basal skin cancer can be recognized by pale, waxy, pearly, nodules or red scaly, sharply- outlined patches. Squamos skin can- cer can be recognized by scaly patch- es and nodules. Both may accelerate and form crusts. Malignant Melanoma can be detected by dark brown or black pigmentationg it most often ap- pears as a mole or as a protrusion from a mole. Initially, it starts out small but increases in size rapidly and may ul- cerate and bleed easily when slightly injured. Skin cancer is marked by uncontrol- lable growth that can spread through other body tissues and organs, called metastisizing. If left uncontrolled, the results can be fatal. Five thousand cases of Malignant Melanoma are fatal on an average per year, while only 1700 cases of Basal and Squamos re- sult in death. Approximately 6,500- 7,500 deaths from skin cancer occur every year in the United States. To avoid skin cancer, the following D.
