“ORAL BASED IS better for those
students who have to take the test,
which is primarily for those students
/going out to teach,” he said. “How-
ever, this affects a very small number
of our students.”

Daily Reporter
The special courses will empha-
size the oral basis for students who
have to take the test, but no tests have
been given to NT students yet, Crow-
der said.
Texas Woman’s University will
slowly make a change from grammar-.
based teaching methods to oral based,
said Dr. Frank Longoria, chairman of
the TWU English, speech and foreign
language department.
“The process is not complete, but
even when we do change we’ll still do
both,” he said. “We’ll emphasize the
oral and at the same time emphasize
the grammar and culture because we
feel language needs to-be taught this
way.”

Special courses will be designed
for students who have to take the
Texas Oral Proficiency Test, the chair-
man of the foreign language depart-
ment said Wednesday.
Since Nov. 1 the Texas Education
Agency has been administering the
oral proficiency tests to students seek-
ing foreign language teaching certifi-
cation. The test emphasizes the oral-
based teaching of the language.
NT’s foreign language department
offers a mixture of oral-based and
grammar-based teaching, Chairman
Douglas Crowder said.

The United Way of Denton County pledge drive
officially ends today, and its goal has almost been reached.
The United Way originated 104 years ago in Denver
by four religious leaders at the request of a woman,
according to a pamphlet written by Calvin E. Green,
chairman of the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
United Way agencies.
Protestant ministers Dean H. Martyn and the Rev.
Myron Reid, Catholic Monsignor William J. O’Ryan and
Rabbi William S. Friedman perfected an idea developed
several years earlier by organizations across the country.
Frances Wisebart Jacobs, a welfare worker nicknamed
the "mother of charities” because of her unselfish devo-
tion to charity work in Denver, urged the ministers to join
forces for the good of Denver’s unfortunate citizens.
The ministers sought to form an organization to coor-
dinatefund raising as well as organize services. Founded
in December 1887, this was the earliest United Way. Its
initial fund-raising campaign took place in November
1888, collecting $21,700 for 22 agencies.
According to Green, the history of industry in Amer-
ica shaped the history of the United Way.
The idea that all people could have a better way of life,
coupled with American initiative, ignited the explosive
era of progress known as the Industrial Revolution in the
late 1800s.
Green stated that with the invention of the steam
engine, electric light and telephone, America experi-
enced the greatest array of job opportunities of any nation
ever. The Erie Canal and the opening of the transconti-
nental railway united the coasts and made goods acces-
sible’ to all.
Masses flocked to die cities where populations doubled
and tripled, leaving behind the rural and agricultural way

West Hall wins
West Hall came out on top in the fall Gift of Life Blood
Drive with 48 of the 2,425 pints of blood donated. Four
residence halls competed to see which could donate the
most blood.
An awards luncheon for the blood drive was held
Wednesday in the University Union Golden Eagle Suite.
Of the sororities and fraternities that participated,
Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Pi took
home top awards.
“ You ’ ve got the resources to give to others, use them,”
said Garland senior Steve Wentz, president of Kappa
Alpha. “We sort of tease ourselves about being the best
bleeders on campus.”
Other groups recognized were Golden Key National
Honor Society for the Honorary/Service Award and
Arnold Air Society and Angel Flight for the Spirit/
Acclaim/Professional Award.
Waxahachie senior Victor Kylar of Arnold Air said
that the blood drive is a tradition that his organization
takes a lot of pride in.
Good Count Awards, a special recognition award,
were presented to Kerr Hall and the Talons along with
faculty members Dr. Olivia White, Dr. Chris Littler, Dr.
Tom Irby, Dr. Paul Jones and Dr. Bob Insley. Rob Poole,
Dallas graduate student, also received one of the awards.
The Dave Fitch Award, named for the founder of the
NT blood drives, was presented to Alpha Phi Omega for
its work in entering the data into the computer on those
. who donated during the drive.
Dr. J.B. Spalding, organizer for the blood drives, said
that next spring’s drive is scheduled for March 2-6, two
weeks before spring break.
He said people who served in the Middle East during
Operation Desert Storm will be deferred as blood donors
until 1993 because of a potential deadly blood disease
carried by an insect found in the Middle East.

DALLAS — To say AIDS Services of Dallas oper-
ates an AIDS house would be to sell the program short.
According to a February 1990 study by the New
York AIDS Consortium, AIDS Services of Dallas oper-
ates the largest AIDS housing in the nation, housing 60
AIDS victims and having the capacity to house 97.
But for Vanessa, 26, and Michael, 30, the Revlon
Facility in Oak Cliff is more than a place to live. It is
home.
“Our philosophy is living,” said Don Maison, execu-
tive director of AIDS Services of Dallas. “There is a lot
of life and happiness here.”
Vanessa, who requested her real name be withheld;
has a 5-year-old daughter named Maxine. She also is in
the ninth month of her pregnancy and is expected to
deliver her son within one week. Because Vanessa is
HIV-positive, her son will be bom HIV-positive as
well. But Judith Powell, residents’ manager for AIDS
Services of Dallas, said 70 percent of all infants born
HIV-positive revert to HIV-negative.
Powell said Vanessa will be the first resident to have
a child while living in the house, and Vanessa said the
future for her son is more promising today than before
