I want to personally thank you for your editorial “NIU can lend hand to AIDS education” which was printed Feb. 2, 1987. It was well written and sesitive to the problems which face many college campuses. Your point is well taken. We all need to be educated about AIDS and know the facts. A college campus is indeed an upcoming “high risk” community.

Students and faculty should know that NIU Campus Ministries are doing our part to lend a hand to the NIU education about AIDS. On April 13 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., several campus ministries and university departments are co-sponsoring a “Forum on AIDS.” Three speakers from the Chicago area will come to DeKalb and talk about AIDS from three perspectives: medical, sociological and pastoral care. We hope there will be a large, diverse audience to hear these speakers, ask questions and discuss AIDS and its impact and prevention.

For further information, please call 758-8177. Watch for ads and posters and tell your friends.
