AIDS Foundation will provide information " How societies deal with AIDS will measure to what extent they have the right to call themselves Dr. Mathilde Knm, civilized. one of 12 Ms. Magazine Women of the Year. By Judy B. Rollins Assistant Lifestyle Editor Dr. Patty A. Reagan, as founder-directo- r of the Salt Lake AIDS Foundation, may have jumped in where angels fear to tread. Its part of her academic training find humanitarian concern, she said, to provide accurate, information about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, a medical condition first discovered in the United States in 1981. AIDS attacks groups on the margins of society gay men, intravenous drug users, certain immigrants from Haiti leaving them vulnerable to diseases healthy people ered since there are individuals and groups, a lot within the gay mens community, doing everything from collecting money, to providing emergency food and housing, to forming AIDS support groups. The need for education remains. "For example, the social implications for mothers, families, extended families, significant others need to be addressed. The Salt Lake AIDS Foundation can help people like the woman whose son was hospitalized with AIDS at the UCLA Medical Center. He was within three days of death. He hadnt told her until then because he didn't want her to know he was gay. Part of what the foundation does, through an AIDS telephone line, is provide accurate health information and referral. AIDS myths abound, Dr. Reagan said. If people generally deal poorly with sexuality, they deal even less well with a sexually transmitted disease. Adding to the misinformation is a social system hostile to gay men. On the patient's side is a concern for the right to privacy while dealing with illness. "In addition to a concern for physical illness, gay men face a whole new set of social stresses growing around AIDS loss of job, loss of housing, loss of support, in and out of the gay community. Member of Family According to a National Gay Task Force study, one fourth of American families has a gay member. Dr. Reagan said in a four-yea- r study conducted in her classes, 8 percent of students surveyed said they were gay. The data remains the same in Utah with national figures begun with the Kinsey studies of 1949. What that means is that here, as elsewhere, the chances are not good for wiping out lifestyles that people dont like. She said there is a large Utah community of bisexuals, the least studied of sexual variations. She said she has anecdotal evidence of Utah men, contractBy background and training, Dr. Reagan is a University of Utah asso- rarely ' land Dr., where space is donated. Dr. is director. Sandra Wiens-BagleLori Gregory, a clinic health educator, and Kristine Wimmer, a graduating senior in health education at the U. of U., answer calls. Media attention to AIDS seems to trigger concern and questions. Dr. Reagan pays the $70 a month to maintain the phone My concern, coming back to Utah, was that no one was doing anything as far as AIDS education. I've discov- - ciate professor of health education who this fall began sharing half her professional time as the new director Of the Womens Studies Program, succeeding Dr. Margo Sorgman, who left to become associate dean of education and professional studies, Centre! Connecticut State, New Britain. Dr. Reagan has shared information On womens health, sexuality, women's issues and health issues on and dff the campus. Shes a frequent and popular community speaker whose topics now include AIDS. She was recognized for her concerns as a recipient of a Susa Young Gates Award, each year presented by Utah Womens Political Caucus for service to state women and for a commitment to human rights . Transfer of Information Dr. Reagan returned to Utah in May from a years sabbatical at the University of California at Berkeley doing postdoctoral work in public health. It was hard not to be involved with AIDS as a health concern while there. The Bay Area is at the hub of the AIDS crisis and has a million dollar grant for AIDS epidemiology study. I y line. Public Not at Risk Ms. Gregory said half the calls come from the worried public not at risk. The rest are from those probably at risk, seeking referrals for testing andor treatment. Questions from the public indicate the caller is misinformed, often asking ridiculous, but serious, questions. On a Friday by 1:45 p.m., she had juggled 12 AIDS questions with Wasatch Womens Center calls. Sometimes someone calls, asks a question, hangs up and then calls back two or three more times, Ms. Gregory said. It seems that one question unleashes a whole lot more concerns. Some days, I get calls from a university student who may have seen our number published and whos concerned about a contact he may have had two years ago. She said the numbers of calls from men and women are about the same. By Erica Tribune Sloff Photo by Von Porter Dr. Patty A. Reagan founded the Salt Lake AIDS Foundation to provide accurate, information to Utahns. sometimes married, active sexually with women and men. That puts Utah AIDS women, generally in a low-ris- k group, at risk in a bisexual community- Its my job as a sex educator to help eliminate or eradicate the AIDS myths. The most serious is that AIDS is easily communicable. The medical research and now history say that is not true. A person really has to work hard to get AIDS, with repeated encounters as the passive recipient of multiple, anonymous partners.

Dr. Reagan said the AIDS crisis has brought into focus some philosophical questions. For instance, school districts may consider policy on children with AIDS. Boys with hemophilia (a hereditary blood disease, occurring in males, transmitted by AIDS females) are another high-ris- k group. Although theres no evidence that boys with hemophilia present an infectious health risk, some school districts are setting policies keeping those children from attending public school. Tricks with vinyl The public health question is when to terminate the civil liberties of a few for the rights of many. AIDS is transsexually or intravenous-needl- e mitted. Medical evidence says AIDS is not passed by tears or saliva. The ability to spread AIDS diminishes over time. There arent many kids with AIDS. This is a chance for people to be advocates for those who need advocacy. Information Line Besides the information line, the foundation publishes a newsletter, keeping volunteers and interested persons informed. Funding is an ongoing concern. Dr. Reagan said telling AIDS jokes, as telling ethnic and religious jokes, is a form of bigotry and prejudice. It shows insensitivity and personal insecurity, she said. Besides, theres a danger in telling AIDS jokes. You can never be sure to whom you are speaking and for Todays vinyl tablecloths are fashionable, sophisticated. They are a true example of trompe doeil the art of deceiving the eye into seeing something that does not exist. For example, a flat wall may be painted to look like it has a built-i- n staircase, or a vinyl tablecloth may be embossed to look like real lace. But it does not require the delicate care of lace; cleaning vinyl is a snap. Simply wipe clean with a damp sponge, or launder in a washer on the delicate cycle and dry in a dryer on the air setting. Vinyl tablecloths never need ironing. . HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY RUTH L. KROESCHER L Kroescher is being ton ored by her lomily on her 90th Birthdoy, January 14, 1986.

Even children as young as 3 should be taught information. For instance, parents can role-pla- y emergency situations and teach kids to dial key phone numbers using a toy telephone.

Create an English snuggle -- fit scarf very warm little scarf that is fun to knit comes all the way from England, where chilly winters make this sort of thing a practical necessity. The two ends are heart-shape- d and a double, narrow band (made like knitting a pocket) attaches the two ends to the main part of the scarf. This enables you to tuck one end right through the other, fitting the scarf firmly and snugly around your neck. Begin as follows: Using No. 8 needles and two-pl- y knitting worsted, cast on one stitch. Row 1: Increase by knitting first into the front then into the back loop of this one stitch (two stitches on the needle). Row 2: Increase by knitting in front and back of each stitch (four stitches on the needles). Row 3: (x) Increase by knitting in front and back of first stitch. Knit to the last stitch, and increase by knitting in front and back of this last stitch. Repeat between (x)s for 25 rows. Now knit even for 14 rows. Row 4: Knit two together, put two stitches on a holder, knit two together, and repeat across the row. Next 10 rows: Kl, PI evenly across the rows. Now put the stitches from the holder on to a needle, and Kl, PI for 10 rows. Bring the two separate pieces together and knit them alternately onto one needle, joining the two separate strips as one. Knit even for 90 rows or as long as you want the scarf to be. To make the opposite end, repeat whom it won't be funny.

She said there was a lot of interest among professional health care givers as to the role of women and AIDS. Women are playing a special role in the AIDS crisis. Not because we are biological nurturers. Men are that, too. Women are the best possible ones physically and emotionally to deal with AIDS. We are at least risk. Women are at a unique place to turn their energy and personal resources against AIDS. To contact the Salt Lake AIDS Foundation, write P.O.
