Red ribbons around campus cut do
By Melissa Jacobs
The Battalion
Several of the ribbons tied
around campus trees for the
Red Ribbon Drive for AIDS
awareness have been cut down,
and those responsible for the
campaign feel that people do
not understand the reason for
the ribbons.
Lambda Sigma, a service-ori
ented sophomore honor society,
and AIDS Services of Brazos
Valley, worked together on the
Red Ribbon Drive.
Melanie Jones, service co
chair for Lambda Sigma and
chairperson for the campaign at
AIDS Services, said she is con
cerned that the efforts of the
last two months have failed.
“They have failed in their
goal to educate the Texas A&M
community,” she said.
Jones said $150 to $200
worth of ribbons have been cut
down.
“The money was donated by
Aggies and members of the com
munity,” she said, “and that is
why I will press charges if any
one is caught cutting the rib
bons.”
Jones said if the money had
been hers, she would not press
charges.
“I’d really rather just talk to
the person (if anyone is caught)
and try to make them under
stand why the ribbons were put
up,” she said. “My biggest con
cern is that people don’t know
what is going on.”
Brian Thurston, director of
AIDS Services, said he would
suggest that the individuals in
volved in cutting the ribbons get
educated about HIV and AIDS
and what AIDS Services does.
“We are trying to educate
about a health issue,” he said.
“There is no hidden agenda and
no secret attack.”
Thurston said the goal of the
drive was to raise awareness
and let people know that HIV is
a problem in this area.
“You are not immune just be
cause you are an Aggie,” he
said. “We want people to learn
as much about HIV as possible.”
The University Police De
partment has been notified
about the incidents, but so far
no one has been caught.
Jones said if anyone sees the
ribbons being cut, they should
contact UPD immediately.
Jones said it baffles her to
think that someone could find
the ribbons offensive.
“The ribbons are to remind
everyone to protect themselves
and their loved ones against
HIV, to show support for those
who are HIV positive and to en
courage people to get informa
tion on how to improve the
quality of the last few years in
life,” she said. “How can show
ing passion and concern be of
fensive?”
Thurston said he really does
not know why someone would
cut the ribbons down.
“Perhaps someone didn’t
know why the ribbons were put
up,” he said. “I think it was
probably done out of ignorance.”
Jones said from her experi
ence, the person removing the
ribbons is the one who most
needs education.

Several of the red ribbons put up around campus during
months for the Red Ribbon Drive for AIDS have been cutdo«
“The friends I have who are
HIV positive or have died from
AIDS encourage me to do all
that I can to educate,” she said.
Jones said the ribbons them
selves do not actually educate;
they are to promote an aware
ness so people will realize how
real HIV is.
“Only after realization will
someone get help, or educate or
protect themselves and others,”
she said.
Jones said anyone
ucated on the issue
AIDS should be invohei
helping others.
“I can’t think of
would knowingly let
eat a poisoned apple,”
“Until we do haveacurt
HIV we need to take can
each other. Whatiswn
about that?”
