:..P ^m? ,<. o FRIDAY, May 26,2000 The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 112 Issue 17 Bellingham, Washington Rally garners gay pride support By Siobhan Millhouse THE WESTERN FRONT The theme was self pride, forming a community and giving a voice to people that don't follow mainstream ideas regarding sex- - ual orientation. The Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/ Transgender Alliance hosted its second annual <*ay Pride Rally Thursday in the Performing Arts Center plaza for a crowd of approximately 90 people. The rally is part of the events for Gay Pride Month. "(The rally) is to create an. awareness that there are queer people on this campus," said Darci Teveliet, Radical Queer Cheers cheerleader and LGBTA volunteer, adding, it's "to celebrate and be thankful for the communitywe have." Western students are fortunate to have the LGBTA and See PRIDE, page 7 Jonathan Simmons/The Western Front The "Radical Cheer Queers" pump up the crowd at the beginning of the rally. Committee appointments anger students Foundation's committee for socially responsible investing slap in the face' Bronlea Hawkins /The Western Front Victor Cox, Patrick Taylor and Shane Powell discuss the Western Foundation's newly-formed committee. By Bronlea Hawkins THE WESTERN FRONT Associated Students President Victor Cox is angry. So are Western students Patrick Taylor, Seth Vidaiia and Planet editor Shane Powell. They are upset about the Western Foundation's choice of Dennis Murphy,' Dean of the College of Business and Economics, to serve on a three-person Finance and Audit subcommittee in charge of deciding whether or not to implement a policy of socially responsible investing. "We already know Mr. Murphy's position on this," Powell said. "It seems like a slap in the face that he is on the committee." In the Winter 2000 edition of the Planet, Powell wrote an article questioning the nature of the Western Foundation's investments, which Murphy responded to by saying, "I am taken aback by the tone, language, assertions and outright mistakes of the publication." Murphy said the problems See COMMITTEE, page 6 Women with HIV focus of conference Terrill Simecki/ The Western Front Michelle Dever of the Evergreen AIDS Foundation. By Stephanie Kosonen THE WESTERN FRONT An estimated 160,000 women in America have inV, according to HIV Plus, a magazine that covers HTV treatment. The Evergreen AIDS Foundation put on a conference providing information on HIV and women Thursday at St. Luke's Community Health Education Center. Jonathan Hoskins, executive director of the Evergreen AIDS Foundation, welcomed about 70 women and men to the conference. He said the purpose of the conference Was to educate women in rural areas about HTV and AIDS. "By 2002 or 2003, everybody will know somebody who has HIV or AIDS," Hoskins said. Artwork by women, living with HIV was displayed at the conference. A colorful painting of a naked woman lost its seductiveness when the red lettering along the border was read: "What will I do without you? Your death is my inspiration." Women can progress to an AIDS-defining illness at a lower viral load than men. Viral loads measure the number of reproductions the virus has made in the body. Women are also more likely to develop rashes from drugs like Virimune, and when they do get rashes they are usually worse than the men's. Speaker Brian Colledge gave information on treatment options for women called Highly Active Antiviral Retro Treatment. The options include several combinations of drugs. Short-term side effects of most HIV drugs are nausea, diarrhea, rashes, depression, fatigue and flu-like symptoms. Diarrhea is especially dangerous because it can flush out drugs that a patient is taking before they are fully metabolized. Long-term side effects of HTV drugs include fat accumulation, fat loss, blood fat increases and hair loss, which sometimes causes patients to lose their toenails. Impotence among men is also common, so Viagra is frequently prescribed for men living with Hrv. Colledge said women should See HTV, page 6 ATUS tests software to limit pages per student By Liam House-Doyle THE WESTERN FRONT In an effort to control "wasteful" and rising volume of printing in campus computer labs, Academic and Technology and User Services is testing a software program that will limit the number of pages students can print per quarter. "We need to put a lid on it," said Rob Galbraith, assistant director of ATUS. The page-counting software is being tested on an offline server to determine its compatibility with Western's environment. The system could be used as soon as fall quarter, Galbraith said. "I think we have found something workable without being onerous to students," Galbraith said. The University of Idaho implemented a print quota in fall 1997 with the same computer software — called P Counter — that ATUS is testing. U.I.'s technology services studied the amount of printing in labs after the first year and found less than 2 percent of users printed more than their allowance. Students who used more than their 500-page-per-semester limit were asked to pay 5 cents per page in increments of 20 pages. The students could monitor their page usage.

Macaroni Mama Pat Oleszko, world-renowned performance artist, displayed "pedestrian sculpture/' which uses her body as a medium for fanciful interpretations of dress. See page 10.
