and information
By IMarlene Bryant
StaffWriter
Students attending the AIDS
Awareness rally today in the Free
Speech Area will receive a condom
and information concerning the
Anonymous Testing Service from the
Fresno County Department of Heal th.
4 Donna Evans, ASI senator and
liberal studies senior, said that post¬
ers and word-of -mouth were used to
pass information around campus
about the >MDS Awareness rally. T-
shirts and someone dressed up in a
"full-aSized body condom" were tech¬
niques used to get the attention of the
students focused on the topic of AIDS.
"We hope that people will stay
around and listen to the speakers.
The reaction by the majority of those
who have heard about the rally has
been excellent Some professors are
offering extra credit to .students who
come to the rally," she said.
Evans said that the purpose of the
rally is to get people to educate them¬
selves about AIDS. AIDS affects
people in the age range of 20 to 30
years of age, normally the generation
which attends universities. Students
are encouraged to ask questions at the
rally. *• \
Don McBride, ^39-year-old AIDS
patient, said ,"I have AIDS and I want
to share that experience with people.
We must stop the transition. Hetero¬
sexuals believe that AIDS is just a
homosexual disease. Not true. Eve¬
ryone is susceptible. It .strikes every¬
one. People can avoid getting AIDS
by changing their behavior."
Sandy Campros, of the Loving
AIDS Management Program of Mer¬
ced, said, "Based on education, we
still keep seeing new cases of AIDS.
Families are devastated. The prob¬
lem is that sometimes tlie families
don't find out until the person is sick.
There is no time for the family to
prepare."

"El Hajj Malik' a symbolic look of Malcolm X
By Leah Perich
StaffWriter
Long before the movie will be refegAd,
Fresno State students were already acting in
a play about the life of Malcolm X.
The play "El Hajj Malik", was presented
on campus from Oct. 9 through 18 and will
hold one final performance at Fresno City
College Nov. 20.
Thomas-Whit Ellis, the professor in¬
volved with the play said it is based on the
autobiography by Malcolm X and a book
entitled Malcolm X Speaks.
He said tbe play is "symbolic, where the
movie is literal." He said another difference
between the two is that in the play, several
people portrayed the character of Malcolm

Lisa White, a mem ber of the cast, agreed.
"No one person has the lead in this play, we
all get a chance to play Malcolm. Women
and men."
- White herself played a "human clock, a
prison guard, Malcolm's wife, a gossip
queen and a lady with a whip."
. White also feels that the play is an expe¬
rience for all to learn from. ".Any culture can
extract from his life. He [Malcolm X] was
involved in so many things. He was con¬
cerned with human rights not civil rights,
which apply to any minority or any op¬
pressed people," she said.
She has learned a lot as well. "I learned
