By Robert O'Hare State and city officials are working on a program to distribute hypodermic needles to drug addicts. The move is expected to help reduce the spread of AIDS among the city's 200,000 addicts, who spread the disease through the practice* of sharing needles and then passing the virus on to their sex partners. The plan calls for needles to be dispensed from several health-care facilities throughout the New York City area. Ad- dicts will be registered at these facilities; the requirements for registration are currently being worked out by city and state officials. Addicts will then be issued a number of needles and after using them, they will have to return the empties in order to'receive a new batch. The returned needles will then be tested to see if they were shared and if they contain the virus. This is a rough draft of the program—until approved there can be many changes, accor- ding to a Health Department source. In any case, officials believe that they will be able to determine the rate at which the virus is spreading among the addicts, and through the is- suance of needles they feel they will be able to slow down the transmission of the disease among this group. For those of you not familiar with New York State law, possession and sale of hypodermic instruments without a perscription is illegal. In reality what they are doing is throwing in the towel on drug use. They are saying, "Okay, we know you are doing drugs but we can't do anything about it." An "if you can't beat them join them" attitude is prevailing. Officials are giving them empty guns and allow- ing the addicts to load these weapons with heroin and co- caine and shoot themselves up. If state and city officials think for one minute that this practice will help curtail the spread of AIDS they are sadly mistaken. The very nature of an addicts' character is the main reason why this plan will fail. Like many public policies, it looks good on paper but the practical application is impossible. The drug addict is a satanical person. They are possessed by the need to inject into their bodies a foreign substance that renders their mind and body incapable of doing anything thinks a junkie is going to be in the right mind set to pick up for their drugs, the addicts in this program will also become reliably except getting high.

By now, you've realized that the outer pages of this issue are a part of the Observer's second annual April Fool's parody, which encases the "real" edition. The stories contained in the overwrap are meant, of course, as a joke, a satire on the way things are at CLC and hi the University as a whole. The same, unfortunately, could be said for daily life at Ford- ham: we constantly shroud ourselves hi platitudes while, deep down, we all know of the "real" issues that remain unspoken. The only difference is that, in this case, it's no joke. No matter how many administrators try to tell us that there is "one Fordham," we know from experience that the divi- sions between the two campuses are many and deep. We hold "open forums" that provide no straight answers; we try to recruit new students, but have no place to house them; we lodge our protests through the standard channels, knowing full well that they have little chance of being heard. We've been keeping up a good front for some time now, assuring ourselves that the dorm will be built and the faculty will stay and students will enroll — next year, maybe the year after, if only we can continue trying. It's hard to maintain a happy facade when you've got nothing to smile about, but we hope this issue helps. All we ask is that, as you read the parodies, you recognize the underlying truth that supports each one.

Want to see something different, incredibly funny and touching with wonderful Camera shots? Then you'll love Percy Aldon's latest work, Bagdad Cafe. The film has already won awards in Brazil and Germany for "Best Comedy of '87" and it will soon be opening here in New York. The setting for Bagdad Cafe is the edge of the Mojave Desert—a no man's land crossed by Highway 66 where, according to the director, The American Express* Card can play a starring role "dozens of filling stations stand, melting in the virtually anywhere you shop, from Tuba to Thailand sort of heat you might expect from purgatory."

Another interesting character is Rudi Cox, a retired Hollywood set painter played by Jack Palance, who falls in love with Jasmin.
