“We want people in the commu
nity to know that big cities have tak
en steps to reduce the problem,”
Triplett said. “But just because you
live in a small town does not mean
you are not at risk.”
With the news former Los An
geles Laker Magic Johnson is tak
ing medication that has made his
HIV almost undetectable, Triplett
warns people not to think there is
a cure for infection.
“A lot of people believe that they do
not have to worry anymore,” Triplett
said. ‘The media has hyped it up, but
these medications are not a cure.
“This hype is nothing new. The
same thing happened with AZT in
1987. They thought it was a cure,
but the virus has beaten everything
we’ve thrown at it.”
Griffith warns there are no
promises or guarantees one will not
contract HIV
“The first thing people want
to do is blame the partner,” Grif
fith said. “They say, ‘It is their
fault, they gave it to me.’ But if
you are not protected, you’re
willing to receive the gift. It is
everyone for themselves.”

“There is something for everyone
to eat at every restaurant in Bryan-Col-
lege Station,” said Rippa, a senior nu
trition major. “In the U.S., eating is a
very social event. You don’t have to
limit yourself to Souper Salad — you
can go to a variety of restaurants and
know what to order.”
Brandee Etheridge, a junior educa
tion major, said she has lost seven
pounds since she bought Kapusniak’s
book three months ago. Although the
guide includes nutritional informa
tion for nationwide chains such as Mc
Donald’s and Olive Garden, Etheridge
said the inclusion of local restaurants
like The Dixie Chicken and Hullabaloo
makes the guide unique.
"It is concentrated here in the Bra
zos Valley, and I have never seen any
thing like it,” Etheridge said. “It has
practically every restaurant in town
(listed), and it is really accessible.”
The book is on sale at Hastings, the
MSC Bookstore, The Brazos Valley
Women’s Center and a number of area
health clubs. Kapusniak said she is al
ready working on a second edition,
which will include updated versions of
entries in the first book, along with
restaurant coupons.
Gina Stella, a graduate student
who helped Kapusniak research
restaurant information for the book,
said the guide is user-friendly and es
pecially appeals to college students.
She said many college students are
concerned with their health, and Ka
pusniak’s book offers advice to help
them stay on track.
“We’re not in a day and age when
we can find the time to sit in the
kitchen and cook—we all have class
es and jobs,” Stella said. “The book
alone is not going to solve all your
problems, but it is definitely a step in
the right direction.”
Cruise dressless
for new thriller
NEW YORK (AP) — Tom Cruise
won’t say exactly what he’s doing in
Stanley Kubrick’s new psychological
thriller Byes Wide Shut, but he’s not
wearing a dress.
“I’ve read a
lot of stuff. No
one’s gotten it
right. They’re
reaching,”
Cruise told the
New York Daily
News when
asked if
Kubrick had
him dress in
women’s cloth
ing for the film.
The actor and his real-life wife,
Nicole Kidman, play out a variety of
sexual fantasies in the film, current
ly in production in England.
He admitted that “it can be gru
eling” working with Kubrick, the di
rector of Dr. Strangelove and A
Clockwork Orange.
“He rehearses, we work on the
scene, then he rewrites again,” said
Cruise, nominated for an Oscar this
year for Jerry Maguire.
But, he said, “as an actor, you
have to support the director. It’s
his vision.”

More importantly, it parallels
the story of moving on from a
community that provided for and
protected his family when the rig
ors of his mission made that im
possible for him.
“The community has been very
good to me and my family,” he
said, “and that is something I will
not forget.”
Giner said that leaving the de
partment will not be painful, but it
will be difficult. He said it will be a
challenge to leave without burning
bridges. Leaving his home also will
be somewhat disturbing for him.
“Saying goodbye to the commu
nity, that will be painful," he said as
he paused to wipe away tears.
Giner will take a sabbatical be
fore he returns to teach at A&M, but
he only will remain until his daugh
ter graduates from high school.
He will not direct at A&M again.
“[The Cherry Orchard ] is a
process of retrieving my spirit
from the task — bringing it back
into myself,” he said. “The job is
done. Now you’ve got to gather
your tools.”
Now that the work is done,
Giner is taking the time to pay his
dues to those who helped shape
his vision. His students are
among the few who are respon
sive to his modernistic view of

Saturday Night Live is starring in
Soul Man, a new sitcom that pre

Aykroyd plays a motorcycle

“People usually think of me in
wilder or unconventional roles,”
Aykroyd said in Tuesday’s USA To

The show is only slated to run
