Campus visitors provide entertainment and omuser • Pdtti McCabe • When it came to music we were offered entertainers from every possible category. The bubble gum crowd en- joyed a visit from the Beach Boys at Homecoming. Lee Wade, Freshman majoring in General described the Greg Allman, Beach Boys concert as being jam up and jelly tight. For students who enjoy folk music, Arlo Guthrie was a favorite. Laura Davis, a freshman who ' s majoring in Social Work, said the thing she liked best about the con- cert was the way he talked to the audience. I liked the anecdote about his trip to Washington for Jimmy Carter ' s inaugura- tional ball. Chip Carter came up and told Arlo that he found a copy of Alice ' s Res- taurant in the Nixon library. Maybe that ' s where the blank spot on the tapes came from, she said. The Stanley Jordan concert was a must for anybody who enjoys listening to a unique blend of classical music, mixed with rhythm and blues. Rusty Lee, a junior ma- OUCK, DUCK, CHICKEN — As these lucky children follow behind the (amous Son Diego Chicken they amuse the crowd at the GeorgiaLSU basketball game with their little chick antics. joring in Ag. Mech. said he thought the concert was out- standing. The comedians that came to campus brought humor of all sorts with them. Jeff Cessario lifted our spirits with his jokes about life on a college campus. Lana Berman, a sophomore majoring in Busi- ness, thought Cessario was a great performer. He performed for a really long time, which was nice. His show lasted for over two hours, she said. The San Diego Chicken was constant entertainment at the Georgia-LSU game. Gina Bagnulo, sophomore, major- ing in Education, said the Chicken was amusing. I loved how the San Diego Chicken got the kids involved by dressing them up in little chick costumes and taking them out on the floor to make fun of the refs., she said. Tom DeLuca treated his au- dience to a show with a come- dian and a hypnotist all in one. Dixie Mills is a sopho- more. Dance major who thought the show was abso- lutely hysterical. The best thing he did was when he told some people that they would become pro- fessional dancers when they heard the word Las Vegas. Af- ter they were back in the au- dience for a while, he casually said Las Vegas. They booked it up to the stage and immedi- ately started dancing, she said. 20 CAMPUS VISITORS

» m Are students changing their sexual habits? • Bill Holt • A revolution is going on, said Nancy McNair, health center educator. Two years ago no one wanted to even at- tend our AIDS lectures. Now, we have so many requests that we can ' t get to all the res- idence halls, fraternities, and sororities. With an estimated 90% of the campus sexually active, AIDS has become a concern to many but hasn ' t stopped sexual activity. I ' m only sex- ually active with my boy- friend, remarked Debbie, a senior. We feel that in our monogamous relationship that we can ' t get AIDS. John, a freshman, is in- volved with numerous part- ners. Sure, I ' ve thought about AIDS, but when I get a girl back to my room that ' s not something I would ask her. It just doesn ' t seem ro- mantic, expressed John. Although John doesn ' t bother about protection, this trend is not reflected on cam- pus. This fall we sold more condoms than we sold in all of last year. Besides condoms, we also have birth control de- vices and gynecological ex- ams available at the Gilbert Health Center, said McNair. Many students at UGA think AIDS is a ' gay disease. ' They should realize that more and more cases each day are turning up in the heterosex- ual population, remarked McNair. We ' re individuals like anyone else, stated Scott, a senior who is gay. The cam- pus is very homophobic. Some people who know I am gay have started avoiding The AIDS Athens group was formed by a group of for- mer UGA students in cooper- ation with the Athens Gay Lesbian Society. AIDS Athens sponsored a discus- sion panel in the Colonial res- idence halls. There was so much honesty and openess. The program attempted to bring people with different sexual orientations to discuss the problems of AIDS, STD ' s (sexually transmitted dis- eases), and Prejudices, re- plied McNair. Since 1980 Health Services has distributed condoms at the annual health fair. For the past two years we have held AIDS Awareness Day at the Tate Center, mentioned McNair. This year people stopped to look at the display. In 1986, students wouldn ' t even take a pamphlet. At the Health center we have the resources and coun- seling to back up peoples ' de- cisions, said McNair. We ' re there not to scare people but to help them. Nancy, a junior, sumed up the campus ' attitude on AIDS. Nothing is going to stop me from having a good time, but I ' m not going to jeperdize my future, remarked Nancy. BE PROTECTED — The Gilbert Health Center sells condoms and other birth control devices at cost to students. AIDS 19
