When funding was cut for the bowls of condoms in the bars downtown, Stephanie Stillman, a senior from Plymouth, Minn., decided she wanted to volunteer for the Douglas County AIDS Project, or DCAP, to help get the bowls back and promote safe sex.
"It's happening anyways," Stillman said. "To have condom bowls out in the open would be a good thing."
This semester, through a service learning class, Stillman and four other students had the opportunity to help DCAP raise money through last night's annual Red Ribbon Art Auction at Macell's, 1031 New Hampshire St., which is DCAP's largest fundraiser. The proceeds will help fund DCAP's educational programs, emergency assistance for clients and other services. Last year, DCAP raised about $20,000. This year it hopes to raise $25,000. DCAP is a nonprofit organization that provides AIDS-related services to Douglas,
jefferson and Franklin counties.
"The students have worked so hard and their efforts are greatly appreciated." Elena Ivanow, executive director of DCAP, said.

The class group created a project called Art for Aids to collect donated artwork from about 10 student artists. The students visited various art classes, tabled in front of the Kansas Union and
passed out fliers to encourage artists to donate their for the auction.
The group collected almost 30 pieces of art ranging from photography to paintings. Laura Greenberg, a senior from Minneapolis, donated a piece of printed graphic art th

"It's good that people know what is going on." Stillman said. "AIDS is just as pertinent as ever."
