ADVERTISING 8772201 Georgetown high students have no problem with explicit AIDS video By BEN DUMMETT Herald Staff Eight Georgetown District High School students say they have no qualms with a new Acquired Im mune Deficiency Syndrome video that explicitly depicts how to pro perly put on and remove a condom The eight Grades 11 and 12 students talked candidly about the new Canadian Public Health Association AIDS video entitled the New Facts on Life and AIDS in general after viewing it in the school library Friday morning The controversial scene depicts an animated man putting a con on his erect penis When asked their impressions of it all said it was no big deal There no point telling us teenagers to use condoms unless we are taught how to use them one student said Besides we ve seen this the proper use of a con in our Grade health class he added The names of the students quoted in this article have been withheld at their request The Halton Board of Education co ordinator of Physical and Health Education Sue Amos agrees with the realistic attitude Ms Amos said AIDS is a life and death issue and so the video better show how to use a con properly Students valued the video so much they suggested the video should be shown in homeroom so that all students could see it The film is presented in a magazine format by students who talk about AIDS statistics safe sex and how the disease is transmitted It was shown as part of the AIDS awareness week Oct by the Halton Regional Health Department during lunch period in the library last Monday and Friday The group agreed students were too distracted in the library to real ly pay attention to the film s message They also said if anyone had any questions there was no one to ask The school nurse Ann French who supervised the film s screen said the video will probably become part of the Grade health education curriculum which is compulsory for all students The students said AIDS is a pro blem but they said it doesn t have to be if people take the proper precautions They estimated between and per cent of the students graduating from Georgetown will have had sexual intercourse at least once They said most students use condoms and it only the few stupid ones who don t The students claimed they pro knew more about AIDS than their parents The disease t exist when they were in high school they said But they think the school should make a condoms more readily available About half wanted to see condom dispensing machines in the school washrooms Those didn t argued they d be van dalized The other half thought the school nurse should give them out This way if a student had any questions there would be someone to answer them They speculated some students don buy condoms at the local drug store because they are afraid someone would recognize them You never know who knows your parents one student said rhetorically Another said it em barrassing asking a store for them But one student jumped in and said if you re not going to buy them then you shouldn be having sex The board director Bob Williams said the issue condom dispensers in the schools has never been brought up by the board He said unlike the Toronto board which has introduced dispensing machines in its schools Halton students are not into the same that some Toronto students are Students agreed the abstinence from sexual intercourse is an unreal solution It s a fact of life everyone does it one student sa d Although of the students personally know an HIV carrier most agreed an affected student should be allowed to attend school But when asked whether a stu dent should know tie it identity their opinions e should know because want to get near the per son one student said But another interjected and said you can t catch AIDS from a drinking tain Another student said Its their business it s an invasion of privacy However all seemed to agree with one student who said I don think we can say what our reaction would be because we have never confronted it But for all the talk about AIDS students said they worried more about pregnancy RECYCLING Ilonl Please Remember to Recycle This Newspaper mi Clears Out The Garage LET US DO IT
