"I had gonorrhea"
The first few days my urine was burning I didn't take it
very seriously. I passed it off -a slight irritation or something I
drank. About a week went by and the burning got a lot worse.
It hurt like hell.
Well, I never thought that I
would get it. It's like a lot of things,
you never think it's going to happen
to you. But there it was, no question
about it. I had the clap. I was
worried. I didn't want to admit it to
myself, but I was a little ashamed.
I had to find a doctor. My
family doctor was out of the question.
I knew too many people there, and I
didn't want a lecture. Maybe one of
the guys at school or at work would
know someone to go to. I was
worried they would laugh their heads
off. I finally found a clinic. Well what's really terrific is how it
all worked out They were great. Nobody stared at me, no one
questioned me, and I didn't have to give him any personal
information.
The cure was simple and painless. Just a couple shots of
penicillin. It was easy.
So, if you think you have it don't kid yourself or wait
around. Get treated. Don't be ashamed. Anyone can get V.D.

ASCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS: PUBLIC ADVERTISING SYSTEM
PAS is an unusual undergrad-
uate program at the School of
Visual Arts, one of the country's
leading art schools.
The Public Advertising System
(PAS) was originated during
the late '60's as an alternative
to what many students felt was
the overly materialistic orientation
of advertising.
If you have an organization with a cause. if you represent
a movement, a human rights group, a consumer group, you can
probably use our help.
We'll inform the public about you, help von to raise money
and volunteers, by advertising your message.
And we'll do it for free.
We're a group of advertising professionals and students;
who can work with you to produce ads. posters, pamphlets,
booklets, leaflets, commercials-even films.
Let us put our talent,enthusiasm and production resources
to work for you.
We'll give you everything we've got,

"I had syphilis:'
Yes, you're reading right. I had it, I was cured, and I'm fine.
You know, we have a very uptight attitude about venereal diseases.
I'd heardabout syphilis but I always thought that you had to be
a prostitute or dirty to get it.
Well you can imagine my reaction,
one morning as I was showering, when I
noticed a sore right on the side
of my vagina. Zap!
I thought that maybe it would go away
if I took some aspirin or better yet,
some penicillin pills.
But a week or so later that damned
sore was still there. I knew I had to be
treated. The infection wasn't going to
pick up and leave all by itself.) also knew
that the longer I put it off, the worse it
would get, but I was very uptight about it.
I thought of my family doctor, but how
can you sit down and tell your own doctor—a staunch believer in virginity-
till-marriage—who's known you all of your life....
So I called the Health Department and asked fora V.D.
treatment center near me, and I went.
I thought it would be a drag, but it wasn't. Nobody hassled me,
or pressed me for information.
And they didn't notify my parents, or anything.
I got a couple of shots of penicillin. It was really cool
and it was free.
So if you have even the smallest suspicion that you have
VD., please, don't sit around thinking "what ir or "suppose they"
or "it couldn't be me: Stop jiving! Anybody can get V.D.

Students were given the opportunity
to use their creative
skills in making ads for clients
and causes they believed in,
such as public agencies and
needy non-profit groups.
The flexibility of the school
has enabled the idea to carry
through and PAS is a highly successful
contemporary agency
that is beneficial on many
levels. It provides students
with real life experience and
printed portfolio pieces as well
as supplying the clients with
first rate work for a very
nominal fee.
The students actualize the
ad from the concept through
the entire production process
and then turn over the finished
piece to the client for media
placement. The work has been
so outstanding that it has won
major creative awards such
as the New York Art Director's
Club Awards, Andy Awards,
Creativity '74 and Communication
Arts Awards.
