Letters to the editor
Hunting foes a threat
Editor.
1 would like a show of hands — who
gives a rip about sport hunting and
fishing? Narrow-minded
abolitionlstsare excused; but hunters,
fishers and the undecided may please
read on.
On Thursday, Sept 6. the Outdoor
Sportsmen's Coalition of California
held its second meeting. The topic of
the meeting was The Committee to
Abolish Sport Hunting and other
groups that crusade to save. In their
words, "Bambi" and "Yogi Bear."
The Coalition hoped to gather
support from different outdoor clubs,
and over 30 participated, including
Ducks Unlimited, Fresno Fry Fishers.
Fresno Bow Hunters and the National
Taxidermy Association.
Representatives from outdoor
lobbies and the Department of Fish
and Game gave reasons for the loss of
mountain lion and bear hunts, and'
for battles won for tule elk. quail and
dove hunts in California. Their
worries were clear — "Without the
formation and support of sportsmen's
clubs. In a consolidated effort to fight
the 'anti's' in the legblature and
courts, hunting and fishing could be
outlawed." Moreover, anti-hunting
and anti-fishing groups are strongly
in favor of complete gun control.
Before this meeting. I thought the
anti-hunting movement was simply a
fad of misinformed people, but their
actions are real. Think your right to
hunt and fish is tn the constitution?
Wrong. Think the DFG will protect
hunting and fishing? The DFG Is
practically broke and on the verge of
becoming the Department of Fish and
Wildlife (a body of environmentalists
would be part of the newDFW).
I propose to form a campus-based
group of the above coalition to help
protect our recreation,

The second Wednesday of the
fall semester and 1 get up the
nerve to take the HIV (human
Immunodeficiency virus)
antibody test- also known as the
AIDS test - at the Student Health
Center.
One of my concerns as I walked
over to the Health Center was that
I had only had a couple hours of
sleep in the previous 48 hours and
was filled with coffee and No Doz
— thanks to Collegian production.
I waited all summer for the
Health Center to resume the free,
anonymous testing. I was leery
about getting tested at the Health
Department (which provides
testing throughout the year). I
knew the Student Health Center
better and was afraid the person
who would draw rny blood at the ,
county heal|h department might '
be less compassionate. The
county health employee who
administered the test at the
Health Center totally wiped that
misconception away with her *
kindness.
As I approached the Health
Center, I realized I didn't want to
go through this test without some
preparation. I didn't want to
weigh on my family or friends
and rernembered reading tn the
health center newsletter how
Health Educator Sam Gttchel
advised students about safer sex
and AIDS issues as well as other
health Issues. The time I called
the center over the summer to
inquire about the test, the
receptionist said Mr. Gttchel saw
students on a walk-in basis only,
sol took a chance he would be in
his office Wednesday.
Before I could face Section p .
where the recep t ionlst said the
tests are administered,! had to
talk with Mr. Gitchel.
The second door on the left, the
receptionist told me.
I passed one on the right,
another an the left, then there
was the second door open with the
light on. I was relieved to see Mr.
Gitchel seated at his desk. I had
met him in the Free Speech Area
during the Students AIDS Task-
Force's condom and safer-sex
inibr.-nat.ion. distribution the first
week of Classes.
He rernembered me and asked
me to have a seat. I told him I had
a few questions about the AIDS
test arid that I planned to take lt
that afternoon. I was afraid and
needed to clarify some tilings, I
told htm. He asked me what had
caused mc to want to take the test.
I was as honest as I could be with
him— less honest than I was with
Maria Torres who later drew my
blood— and he assured me that
taking the test was good and could
help put many of my worries at
ease. I explained to him howl felt
I had put rny health at risk with a
couple of partners who I knew to
be HIV positive.
He asked me specifically what I
had done with each partner and
rated the risk according to the
situation. I was relieved by what
'he bad to tell me- that he
believed I had practiced safer sex
forthe most part. But this did not
