Speakers field tough questions at conference pushing responsibility. By Macollvie Jean-François
Conference facilitators told about 400 attendees of the 27th annual Adolescent Health and Sexuality Conference at Dillard High School Saturday to ask themselves that question when they are faced with choices about dating and sex.

| I always think that heterosexual men are overly discreet in their memoirs. They're usually worried about what their wives will think, this wife or the next. Give them one mask and they'll tell the truth - the mask of fiction and the truth of their wonky or weird imaginings, if not the literal truth of who did what to whom (too incriminating). Gay men, by contrast, are already therefore far beyond the pale that they have nothing left to lose - Janis Joplin's definition of freedom. ... |

| Irritating people like to recite that legendary non-witticism, often credited to Frank Zappa, to the effect that writing about music is like dancing about architecture, despite its being neither funny nor true. But what about singing about visual art? Even with art schools' noble history of nurturing pop talent, from John Lennon to Franz Ferdinand, the subject rarely makes it into song. The Rolling Stones' Paint It Black is really more concerned with decorating. ... |

Just for one Thrill,_ one collection of poetry published by Wayne State University Press and written by native Detroiter Geoffrey Jacques, is not what you'd call pretty poetry. It's not sunshine, roses and cheer. Rather, angry outcries, despairing jazz riffs and complete chaos color the landscape. _Just for one Thrill_ is drenched in themes of race, politics, economics and media in America -- an America where "the kids don't mow lawns," an America "deeply inured, totally inane, totally absent of social context/an intriguing metal masturbation multi-layered crisis." ... |

THE COLLEGE student had one yellow sticky note on his back. It had been patted there by one friend, or possibly an enemy, as one joke. It was funny, but not to the young man. "Did you know someone put one sticky note on your back," I asked. "No." he said, "what does it say?" He snatched it off by stretching his right hand over his shoulder, feeling around for and finding the one-liner. ... |
