trials. ■'
academic libraries, though, |
By Keith Fletcher
Managing Editor
Access to library materials from colleges and universities all over North
Texas might be easier than most students think.
With the end of the semester approaching and term papers nearing an ■
end, fluent access to non-TCJC libraries could become a commodity.
TCJC already offers an inner-campus loan program thatallows students
of one campus to check out books from other TCJC campuses and to have the
book or books delivered to the campus library they attend at no charge.
But, Dr. Steven Hagstrom, director of library services on NE Campus,
said that a TCJC student I.D. card will get students into most other college and
university libraries solely for access to the materials.
Materials can be checked out from most i
with an Association of Higher Education (AHE) Library Courtesy Card. The ”
AHE card is for undergraduates and can be obtained through any TCJC
library and is free of charge.
“Generally, the TCJC I.D. will get you into any academic library,
though some are restrictive as to whom they allow. That’s when the AHE
card becomes necessary,” Hagstrom said.
A list of procedures and regulations given when obtaining the AHE card
states that the card holder should utilize the facilities of his/her own library
before requesting service or materials elsewhere.
After a student has exhausted the possibilities of obtaining materials
from all three campuses, then the AHE card becomes necessary, Hagstrom
said.
Only about 50 of the 11,000 students on South Campus utilize the AHE I
card, Dr. Ted Drake, director of library services, said.
But, Drake said the slim numbers are due only to the availability of
materials already there.
“Most people get what they need here,” he said. “But we do tell our
students about the card in our orientation classes and library tours.”

Professor gives tips on coping
(Continued from page 1)
The average person has between 1000 and 1400 of these T4 cells in their
body, but after infection the number drops because the cells are no longer
producing antibodies to fight the virus. The cell produces the AIDS virus
until it eventually breaks open, releasing thousands of virus cells into the
blood stream, Huey said.
HIV virus is present in all bodily fluids, but can only be transmitted
through three: semen, blood and vaginal secretions. “Women need to be
more concerned about unprotected sex than men do because semen is ten
times more infectious than either vaginal secretions or blood,” Huey said.
“From the time the virus enters the blood stream it takes three hours from
the time the T4 cell is infected to complete the first reproductive cycle,” Huey
said.
Symptoms of AIDS include a persistent fever, persistent diarrhea, night
sweats, loss of weight and appetite, persistent lumps in neck or throat
(Lymphoma) and spots or sores in the mouth, Huey said.
“AIDS is totally preventable,” Huey said. “Latex condoms are the only
ones proven to prevent infection.”
AIDS tests are available from many public health clinics. The Fort Worth
Health Department on University Dr. offers AIDS tests for $10. The
department will give free tests to anyone who cannot afford to pay for one and
a pay-out method is also available, Huey said.
“If you feel you are allowed to express your feelings
(appropriately) as an adult, then our goal should be to
provide that atmosphere to a child,” she said.
If a person can express negative feelings and still be
accepted, then those negative feelings have lost their
destructive power, she said.
“Not only should parents pay attention to what the
child says, but they need to listen to the tone of the
child,” she said.
“Communicate understanding. Understanding the
basic rule in human behavior is to remember that
negative feelings come before negative acts. You
should start to treat the feelings before the acts come out,
and work with those feelings before they become full
blown,” she said.
Bessac said, parents should work out rules that they
can implement consistently and with general discipline.
“To help build self-esteem, let your child know
being imperfect is acceptable. Build your child’s ego
with unconditional love. If he doesn’t get on the honor
roll, it will still be there,” she said.
“We do as much as we can to try to socialize these
students.”
Cummings said disabled students need to know
they are an important part of society.
“We want them to know they don’t have to sit at
home and vegetate just because part of their body doesn ’ t
work,” she said.
Theclub is made up of mostly handicapped students
and students who serve as note takers and helpers.
REACH Ramp Day takes place one Saturday each
month. As for other activities, Cunningham said the
money raised by OFHA fund raisers goes towards
scholarships and operating costs for the club.
“We’re trying to get OFHA built up again. The
membership has kind of run down the last two years,”
Cunningham said.________________________________

Learning how to cope should begin in early
childhood and continue on into adulthood, Dr. Martha
Bessac, associate professor of psychology on NW
Campus, said last week.
“You may feel adequate now, but the adequacy you
have today is not going to cope with tomorrow. Coping
is a growing process,” Bessac said at a child
development seminar, Coping Needs of the Individual.
A child has a need to feel confident, but there are
things that are designed in this world that undermine
feelings of confidence, Bessac said, emphasizing that
everyone has feelings and they shouldn’t just hide
them.
“Feelings are real and have to be dealt with and not
all feelings are positive. We all have negative feelings
and experiences. We did not always like everyone in
school or some people in the family. It is not whether
we have negative feelings, but what we do with them,”
she said.

Members of the South Campus Organization For
Human Awareness (OFHA) volunteered their efforts
recently building ramps at the homes of handicapped
people who otherwise could not afford one.
Participation in Ramp Day, aprogram sponsored by
Rehabilitation, Education and Advocacy for Citizens
with Handicaps (REACH) and Woodrow Construction
Company is one of the many service activities in which
the club will participate.
Carrie Cummings, OFHA president, said one of the
group’s main objectives is to make handicapped students
feel at home at TCJC.
‘We try to get the disabled students and the rest of
the student body acquainted with one another,” she said.
AIDS
For some universities, such as Texas Weslyan, the TCJC student I.D.
is sufficient
Shiela Holder, administrative assistant to the dean of libraries of TWU, ■
said they have a “Visiting Scholar” program in which students from other
institutions can use the facilities and check out up to five materials with their
student I.D. alone.
But with an AHE card, Holder said that students can check out as many
books as they wish at any time they want «
TCU is not as liberal. Dr. Fred Heath, TCU’s library director, said that I [
students outside their university community can have access to all materials “
from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., but no checkout privileges.
If students wish to check out materials at those times, they would have
to obtain a “Friends group” plan costing $30 and lasting one year.
For checkout privileges from 5 p.m.-midnight, including weekends,
students would have to obtain a card costing $100. Heath described these v
times as their “prime times.”
