The parade will also honor two of the first five black cadetswho attended VMI. The two men who will be taking the review are Lt. Col. W. Gore Jr. USAF, and Richard E. Valentine, both from the class of 1972. Gore and Valen-tine will meet cadet Third Classman George Fountaine, and Cadet First Classman Adam Strickland in the Rare Book Room. There they will review the procedures for the parade. Following the pa-rade there will be a reception on the 400 level of Lejeune Hall. General John W. Knapp, VMI's twelfth Superintendant, will deliver a speech at the Lejeune re-ception. Cadet Fu^t Classman J.P. Lynch, President of the VMI Promaji club, will also give a short speech on the significance of black history month. Cadet Third Classman Benjamin Bennent is then scheduled to introduce Gore and Valentine, who will each deliver a brief address. The entire corps is welcome to attend the reception.

With an estimated 1 in 500 college students in-fected with the HIV virus, students are becoming aware that they must leam how to protect themselves from get-ting AIDS, health officials say. The startling fig-ure was found in a study con-ducted by the Centers for Dis-ease Control and the Ameri-can College Health Associa-tion. The experiment was conducted by testing 20,000 blood samples drawn at 35 college health centers. The blood was drawn for pur-poses other than AIDS test-ing, and the non-identifying demographic samples were drawn between September 1989 and December 1990. AIDS cases are expected to increase because risk factors associated with Air\S are evident among col-lege students. Risks, such as having sex with a number of partners and not using a condom during every sex act, exist for students on campuses nationwide. Information from university health centers also indicates that students use al-cohol and other drugs that may impair their judgement when it comes to sex. "It may take 50 times before they're infected, or it may take once," said Sharon Douglass, director of the HIV-AIDS Institute at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. "But it's going to happen." HIV infection and AIDS are the sixth-leading cause of death among 15-to- 24-year-old men and women in the United States, accord-ing to CDC statistics. The only way for college students to protect themselves from becoming infected is to be-come aware of the risks and take precautions, officials said.
