To share the intimidate details of one's life with anyone is a hard task. So. opening oneself up to public examination of these details should be a courageous act by anyone's measure. This Tuesday, the Ithaca College AIDS Working Group will pre­ ~ent the "Living with AIDS" panel discussion at 7 p.m. in the Emer­ ~nn Suites. The panel, an annual part of campus life for the past 13 years, will again give all members of our community an opportuni­ ty to listen to and question a group of men and women about their experiences living with HIV and AIDS. HIV and AIDS remain a very deadly reality in this country and, perhaps more importantly, around the world. Although AIDS has be­ come an epidemic throughout much of the Third World, as a news story the disease has been overshadowed by the politics and enter­ tainment that are the main feeds of our world's 24n news culture. That 1s why the AIDS Working Group, and especially the annual panel 11 sponsors, 1s so important. While the ongoing AIDS epidem­ ic may no longer be deemed front page news, millions upon millions of people have to live with this still incurable disease every day. By opening up to our community in so visible a·way, the "Living with AIDS .. panelists are able to demonstrate that the disease still has a ~erious impact on the human race. AIDS' impact 1s not limited to distant African or Asian nations ei­ ther; It affects people right here in our own community. The disease does not discriminate, nor has it gone underground. It still affects moth­ ers. fathers, sisters, brothers, children, adults, blacks, whites, co-work­ ers, friends, gays and straights. Letters Although the AIDS story has already slipped to the back of our national consciousness, it should have remained in the forefront. The brave panelists coming to our campus next week will tell their sto­ ries. and we should all take the time to listen to them. Wtlcox lacked evidence founded diatribes to meaningful tion.

When she first came to Ithaca, senior gymncU,t Stacey Cole­ man did not know whether or not the gymnastics team was any good, all ~he knew was that there was one. Four years later, it appears that her decision to come to Itha­ ca has paid off. The Bombers are currently ranked No. l m the nation, and Coleman her­ self 1s No. l m the country m the all around. "A lot of people peak right when they come to college," she said, "But I am peaking now in my senior year." The Walpole, Mass. natJve has been mvolved m gymnastics smce she was lO years old, and she participated m both high school and club gymnastics. COLEMAN Coleman said she was the only one on her high school team that really took gymnastics senous­ ly, and that competitive nature is something that she attribut­ es to her success at Ithaca. "Freshman year we had a ton of leadership," Coleman said. "All of the seniors were really great. and they were so com­ petitive that any of us were really lucky if we could even break into the lineup." Coleman also credits her success to her coach, Rick Sud­ daby. "Before I came to college, I really just had clean good ba­ sics," she said. "Rick is really good at teaching someone with good basics how to apply them to high difficulty tricks." Suddaby said he believes she has had such great success because "she's a solid competitor, and she just keeps improv­ ing and getting better and better all the time." Coleman's teammates have also noticed her improvement. "We've gotten to see Stacey improve over the years, and she's really a product of the system," senior Melissa Kucich said. Last year Coleman was an All-American on beam and in the all-around. She was one of three Bombers named to the All-America team, and it appears that she is well on her way to accomplishing that again this year. In the Bombers' first competition Jan. 13 at Springfield, Cole­ man won the all-around with a career best score of 37.075. "She's No. l in the country right now," Suddaby said. "When she's beating some of the kids that beat her last year, that's just a good thing." In addition to being a great competitor this year, Coleman has also been a great leader for the younger girls on the team. She is one of the two team captains, and she has shown many good leadership. skills so far, her coach said. "Her work ethic is amazing, and if one of the kids is off base, she will tell them what she thinks," Suddaby said. Coleman is providing the same type of leadership, and help­ ing to create the same type of nurturing environment that she encountered when she first arrived at Ithaca. This is both no­ ticed and appreciated by the younger girls on the team. "She's a great person, and she's been a really good role mod­ el for me this year." freshman Sue Lawall said. She has been winnmg various awards since her high school days, and her fiery competitiveness and seasoned leadership qualities have vaulted Coleman to the top, but No. I m the na­ tion is something that she never even imagined would happen KRISTIN SAMPIERE/THE ITHACAN All she had to say when asked about this achievement was,"!
