Good evening. I'm Jean Jadhon.
The new, tougher policy will go into effect this fall as one way to discourage freshman drinking.
[DOUBLE BOXES=JEAN/TERESA]

Teresa Hamilton joins us from our Blacksburg newsroom with details.
[ANCHOR=Teresa]

Jean, the policy grew out of a forum held in December in which students were asked what would cause them to think twice about drinking...
As you might imagine-- parents were at the top of the list.

Bruce Burslie is one of several parents we talked with who support the school's new alcohol policy.
It's NOT designed to impact the entire campus population-- rather freshmen, who're under age 21, and financially dependent on their parents.
Those who fall into the above category, and violate the school's alcohol policy twice or drug policy just once, their parents will be notified by the university.
Student reaction was mixed-- although most we talked with were in favor of the policy.

Eldridge Cleaver died this morning at a California hospital.
Cleaver was one of the original members of the Black Panthers- which was formed in Oakland in 1966.

They promoted militant revolutionary and survivalist tactics- but later became a national organization that ran food programs and schools for underprivileged youth.
Cleaver wrote the book "Soul on Ice."

The rare "autotransplant" was performed Monday on a 20-year old college student.
The doctors removed a tumor the size of a lemon from inside Gary Altman's heart.
The tumor was blocking the blood flow into his lungs.
Doctors knew the tumor would not respond to chemotherapy or radiation.
So they removed it and rebuilt the heart using parts from a cow and a pig.
Doctors used the rare procedure to avoid the problems of heart transplants.

IT WAS A CONTROVERSIAL MOVE: TEST EVERYONE, AND WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED, LOCK UP ANYONE WHO TESTED HIV POSITIVE IN CONVERTED MENTAL ASYLUMS. IT WAS A PUBLIC RELATIONS DISASTER. HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS WORLDWIDE CONDEMNED THE SYSTEM. BUT STATISTICALY IT WORKED.

IT'S EASY TO SEE WHY. THE DECLIING ECONOMY HAS PRODUCED A GROWING PROSTITUTION BUSINESS, DESPITE GOVERNMENT CRACKDOWNS. AND EVEN WITH THEIR PAST SUCCESSES, PRIVATELY HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE WORIED ABOUT A POSSIBLE HIV EXPLOSION. PUBLICALLY THEY REMAIN CONFIDENT IN THE SYSTEM.

(( NAT SPANISH (6) 12:38:50 ))
"I DON'T FEEL LIKE A SICK PERSON," THIS MAN SAYS, "I FEEL LIKE A WORKER."
STILL, MEDICINES ARE HARD TO COME BY, TO SAY THE LEAST. AND THE PATIENT'S SEXUAL PRACTICES AND PARTNERS ARE AN OPEN BOOK. PRIVACEY IS NON-EXISTANT, AND ALL THE RESIDENTS ARE BRANDED FOR LIFE.
