KFSR will provide audio speakers

Jennifer Shockey, one of the
event's organizers, wants to get
students' attention by theincreased
sound system power for Monday' s
rally.
"We want people to come listen
and not just walk by," she said.
Later that night, a lecture will be
held in Room 162 of McLane Hall
titled "Understanding AIDS and
HIV" beginning at 7 p.m.
On Tuesday, the focus will be on
"Race, Ethnicity and Social Class
in Fresno." The presentation will
be held in Room 161 of McLane
Hall, also at 7 p.m.
Wednesday's highlight will be
facts on hospitals in the area near
CSUF presented on the University
Student Union balcony.
The evening presentation in
McLane Hall Room 162 will have
a panel discussion with persons
who have AIDS and HTV.
Shockey was unable to deter¬
mine the exact number of partici¬
pants for Wednesday's panel.
Women and AIDS will be
Thursday's focus. "Women and
AIDS Day" programs will be high¬
lighted by a woman who has been
tested HIV-positive.
Shockey will speak at two
sessions in Room 200 of the Up¬
stairs Cafeteria at noon and 7 p.m.
The week of presentations will
close on Friday, April 30, with^an
AIDS information table available
in the Free Speech Area. .
Shockey said the table will have
several brochures about AIDS for
people who "don't like to ask ques¬
tions."
Extra credit may be available for
attending any of the lecture ses¬
sions this week, but Shockey, a
senior community health major,
advised students to check with their
professors first.
"Some health courses will be
offering extra credit and I know a
professor who teaches human sexu¬
ality will be, also, but you should
ask your professor if^the topics^
relate to the course being taken,"
she said.
Shockey also said the purpose of
this^eek's events is a basic one.
"We want to make students aware
of the intensity of the disease.
"It's not a disease of just gays,
drug and IV users, it's everyone's
disease," she said.   *'-
Shockey also knows a close
friend who is HIV-positive.
She believes the activities will«
serve an important purpose toward
people's attitudes about AIDS.
"The week will give people the
opportunity to see normal people
with the disease, and get the mes¬
sage out to everyone," she said.
Simply put, Shockey said AIDS
is a deadly disease that "won't go
away any time soon." I
