3/26—Student Collapses

A student collapsed in the Freudian Sip at about 12:30 p.m. and left the campus by ambulance. The cause of the collapse is unknown.

3/25—Fire Alarm

Pedro Prieto, HIV counselor from AIDS Healthcare Foundation, said prevention is a critical aspect of HIV/AIDS education.

“Part of staying alive and being healthy is getting checkups, and while HIV is something that might not affect everyone, it could without them knowing,” Prieto said.

BIENESTAR HIV Counselor Sandra Medina emphasized the importance of safe sex.

“We’re here for prevention,” Medina said. “We give a lot of information to students, we give them condoms, and talk to them about how important it is to use them.”

Bolan said that because the disease is out of the headlines, some people have become complacent.

“We need to let people know it’s still out there, just waiting to pounce,” Bolan said.

HIV/AIDS Awareness Week is expected to return next semester.

A fire alarm sounded at about 2 p.m. in the CFS building, and continued for 10-15 minutes. The cause is unknown, but a faculty member said it may have been a false alarm.
