In addition to the required 88 credit hours of course work, the faculty now requires that "... anyone who wants to all himself or herself a Tulane lawyer vill have to complete a minimum of 20 hours of legal service to the indigent."

Steve cheated on an exam. Obviously, he is not alone. Forty percent of stu- dents cheat, according toa recently con- ducted Daily Illini poll, and 40 percent also said it was easy to cheat on uni- versity exams. The unusual thing about Steve's case is that he got caught. Even more un- usual is the way in which he was disci- plined-he was dismissed from the uni- versity. From the moment he got caught- Steve declined to say exactly how that happened-he told the truth about the incident. He admitted it. Now, however, Steve regrets his decision-not because he thinks what he did was right, but because of the way the university's Sen- ate Committee on Student Discipline handled the situation. Steve said that if he was able to come up with an alibi, there may not have been a strong enough case against him. "I could have said it wasn't me," he See Cheating, Page 6 Students protest CIA recruiting The CIA's presence on campuses across the country disturbs many students who charge the agency with violations of international and national law.. Above, three U. of Vermont (UVM) security officers carry away graduate student Jay Weedan. Weeden was a member of the "Waterman 19," a group of UVM students who occupied the president's office in protest of the university's complicity with CIA recruiting. DEALING WITH AIDS Two million of us are 'ticking time bombs' By Shari Chadwick and Michael Koretzky The Alligator U. of Florida There is no such thing as "safe sex." "Safer sex" requires more than a condom. And even if you read every news- paper, watched every television show and picked up every pamphlet you could find in Gainesville, you still wouldn't know enough about AIDS to avoid dying from it. That's because AIDS is a virus that thrives on sexual activities that make many people blush. Because it kills, it means people not only have to hear over and over about homosex- uality, anal sex and oral sex, but they also must learn about them and understand them. It is no longer enough to know that AIDS stands for "Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome," the virus re- sponsible for a total breakdown of the immune system that leads to deadly infections and rare forms of cancer. Now anyone who wants to avoid "The Plague of the '80s" must study everythingfrom safer sex to IV drug use. Since it was "discovered" in 1980, AIDS has killed 41,766 people in this country. The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta estimate another 2 million Americans are carriers- walking, ticking time bombs that may never explode into full-blown' AIDS cases but are dangerous enough to pass the disease on to others. In Florida, 2,774 people have died from AIDS, ranking behind only New York and California.

Though still in the data acquisition phase, this technology may someday help doctors prevent serious natal injuries. In births where the baby's shoulders lodge against the mother's pelvis, called shoulder dystocia, doctors have about five minutes to complete the delivery before the baby suffocates, Sorab said. "The immediate response is to pull harder" to get the baby out, he said. That response can damage the baby's brachial nerve, which runs from the neck down into the shoulder. Injury to the brachial nerve can lead to paralysis, retardation or speech defects. See Glove, Page 2
