condoms, some bought with his own money. These days, he said, many people wink at him as they acknowledge their switch to safer sex. But some people in the fraternity system "are living in the dark ages, still," Shultz said. "They're not waking up to smell the coffee." At the U@versity of San Dj_.ego, AIDS education starts with freshman orientation, said student affairs vice president Tom Burke. "A lot of students are surprised when they learn a lot of women are getting this (from sexual inter- course,)" said Jeanne Elyea, campus nurse at Southwestern Community College in Chula Vista Nationwide, nearly 1,100 women and 900 men diagnosed with AIDS have contracted the disease through heterosexual activity, according to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. Three to 10 times that num- ber are believed to be unknowingly infected with the virus, which may take as long as 10 years to damage the body's immune system enough to cause the symptoms known as ac- quired immune deficiency syndrome. Of the 690 people diagnosed with AIDS in San Diego County since 1981, eight women and one man caught the virus through heterosexual activity. That might not seem like many, but seven of the nine were diagnosed in 1987. Nationally, one-third of the men and half the women who contracted the disease heterosexually were di- agnosed last year. UCSD student body president David Marchick said that many stu- dents "will try to practice safe sex, but still, people at UCSD do not be- lieve that other students are in a high-risk category, so they're not that concerned." "Guys talk about AIDS a lot more, and joke around about being care- ful,'' said David Fish, president of the UCSD Intrafraternity Council. "But I still think if there's a big party and a girl is flirting with them, it's not going to stop them if they don't have a condom." Tony Marshall, an AIDS educator for the county Health Department who has .s.wke.n 0,000 college stu-
campuses need trained people to "go out every day and talk to student groups, eyeball to eyeball, giving honest answers to questions." Depending on posters to do the job, he said, doesn't work. "We're not talking about the four basic food groups here. This is life and death." Marshall also advocates quizzing students before a talk and then giv- ing the same test afterward, so they can see how much they didn't know. "Students, especially the younger ones, have a real hard time admit- ting they might be at risk. It's a beautiful sunny day, and they can't conceive it could ever happen to them," said Marshall. City College's Liska sees three basic student reactions to AIDS warnings. One is overreaction, with a com- plete misunderstandmg of how the disease 1s transmitted. "People still think they can get AIDS by shaking hands with people who are infected or breathing the same air space," she said. The second is denial or indiffer- ence. Many continue to have sex without protection. The third is a serious cornmitment to changing behavior, which she said often comes after students are diag- nosed with another sexually transmitted disease. Erica Schatz, an educator for the San Diego AIDS Project who fre- quently speaks to college groups about AIDS, noted that college days ''are a time of real exploration about sex. "If they're infecting each other, they're not going to get sick for many years. And they don't have confi- dence about talking to each other about using condoms. My guess is that students are listening intellectu- ally, but they aren't taking it very serious!y in their own lives." Wessel and Dr. Kevin Patrick, SDSU student health services direc- tor, are seeking a state grant to hire a health educator to do campus AIDS education at SDSU and at San Diego City, Mesa and Miramar community colleges. "What we need is not all these media blitzes, but peer counseling, role playing, using people to talk to each other to help people feel more comfortable talking about AIDS," / Wessel said. /

population. If students were using condoms, they wouldn't be getting sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia," Wessel said. SDSU has been working hard on a campusw1de AIDS education effort. "But there's a huge difference be- tween knowing about safer sex and actually practicing it," he said. Student leaders and campus health officials said the fear of AIDS ap- pears to have prompted some stu- dents to alter their sexual behavior, reduce their number of partners and discontinue one-night stands. But many students still are choos- mg not to hear all the information they get about AIDS. Paula Liska, San Diego City College director of health services, estimated that 10 to 30 percent of college students deny that AIDS is a problem for them, or are still ignorant about how AIDS is transmitted. Rick, for example, thinks AIDS is heterosexually transmitted only if partners engage in anal intercourse, which he doesn't practice. Therefore, he said, he's home free That's an incorrect conclusion - but one that college health officials say is all too common among stu- dents who consider AIDS a gay dis- ease. It's an error that could prove fatal. "Students still think AIDS is a dis- ease for older male homosexuals. that it's not something that could af- fect them," said SDSU student body president Larry Emond. 22 and a member of a fratermty. "And since students are often in their most exu- ally active time, it's frightening that the; don't realize they are very much possible targets." Most colleges offer condoms through their health centers. As of last fall, UCSD allows condom dis- pen ers in restrooms and some cam- pus stores. Several schools offer con- doms m campus pharmacies. Bvron Shultz, 22, a health sciences graduate student at SDSU and for- mer fraternity member, has been nicknamed "Dr. Whopee" after a Doonesbury comic strip character who runs a condom delivery service. As part of his work in the health promotion department, Shultz has sooken .tn •m<::n '•n•~--ities and
