With special support from UK men‘s basketball players
Joe Crawford and Ramel Bradley. the students had the ad—
vantage in the Black Student Union vs. the Black Faculty
and Alumni basketball game last night.

Dome Drake. a communications junior. sank a three—
point shot at the beginning of the game. putting the BSU

on the board with the first points.

The BSU and faculty/alumni battled on the court to get
possession of the plaque awarded to the winner of the

game .

The faculty/alumni team has a history of winning the
plaque. but the BSU won last year and now they've won

this year as well.

“It feels good to win two years in a row. it gives us
bragging rights over the faculty." Drake said. sporting his

Michael Menifec. a UK and BSU alumnus and shoot»
ing guard for the blue jersey faculty/alumni team. said the
students' winning streak is something new to the lo—year-

old rivalry.

“The only time that the students have come close to
winning prior to last year was the last year I played." he

said.

Although the RSV squad pulled through. the halftime
score was tied at 13. and the game was tight until the final

Supporting both sides was Kairise (‘onwel|. assistant
director for the CARES health professions office at UK.

(‘onwell is a UK alumnus and has worked with some of

the students who participated in and watched the game.
“It is a tradition." she said. "It is a good way for the

alumni to come back and bond with the young ones that

are still in school.“

The alumni get the chance to bond. but the students get

their share of perks from the game as well.

“We get to network with them. We can get internships
and job opportunities." Drake said.

HIV screening could be part of routine check-ups

By Shannon Muse!
smasonakykernetcom

Screening for the Human Immunode-
ficiency Virus could soon become a part
of routine physical exams. based on a rec-
ommendation from the Center for Disease
Control.

Last month. the CDC updated its rec—
ommendation that health care facilities
discuss the option of including HIV
screening in routine physical exams.

“This is a recommendation. not a
mandate for the health care system or for
people." said Glyn Caldwell. assistant
professor and vice chairman in the depart—
ment of epidemiology at UK‘s College of
Public Health. adding that he thinks most
health care facilities will gradually adopt
the recommendation.

The recommendation is being dis~
cussed at UK. but it has not been imple4
mented. said Richard Greenberg. a UK in«
fectious disease doctor.

According to the CDC‘s website.‘pa—
tients should be informed that the test will
take place. but have the choice to opt out.

Routine screening for HIV. as suggest—
ed by the CDC, could result in many ben»
efits, Caldwell said.

“(Routine HIV screening) could iri-
crease early detection and treatment. dc«
crease the spread of the disease. and it
may save money for the health care sys—
tem in general.“ said Glyn Caldwell.

Caldwell said it is especially impor—
tant for students to get tested.

Almost half of adolescents and young
adults are sexually active. and a large per-r
centage of those have unprotected sex.

putting them at a higher risk to contract
HIV. Caldwell said.

“The only safe sex is no sex." Cald-
well said. “The next stage is a mutually
monogamous relationship. but a lot of
people don't follow those rules.

“Students should be tested."

Greenberg said he is in favor of the
CDC's recommendation for all patients in
the health care setting.

“Treatment is a benefit." Greenberg
said. "This disease is no longer a death
sentence."

Greenbcrg said people might object to
HIV screening because of the stigma of
how the disease is caught.

“This is a disease of heterosexual
transmission." Greenberg said. “There are
a lot of countries where more women

UK students are helping
undecided voters find a place
on either side of the fence this
November.

The American Judicial
Process class PS 463 created
an online voting resource for
Kentucky judicial candidates at
http://kyjudges2006.wiki-
spacescom.

Jennifer Miller. an attor-
ney who teaches the course.
said the Web site was created
to better inform voters on the
candidates for judicial elec-
tions.

“There‘s not a lot of infor—
mation for voters to make ed~
ucated decisions." Miller said.
adding that lack of details on
candidates initially made
compiling information for the
web site difficult.

In addition to providing
facts to voters. the class in—
tends to raise student aware-
ness in judicial politics. espe»
cially in Kentucky. All but
two judgeships in Kentucky
will be decided on Nov. 7 by
nonpartisan election. includ—
ing three contested races in
Fayette County.

The website. a wiki. has
even been chosen as the Octo-
ber 2006 wikispace of the
month. said Miller. A wiki is a
Web site that allows registered
users to create and edit infor-
mation to be viewed by the
public.

Judicial politics is more
difficult for average voters

than other forms of politics.
said journalism senior Lauren
Price. People want to consider
the personal values of a candi-
date instead of how fair they
would be as a judge.

“If you‘re charged with a
crime. you want the judge to
be fair and impartial." Price
said.

Although students in the
class have many different po—
litical ideologies. Miller em-
phasized that the wiki is non-
partisan. Students use infor-
mation from outside sources.
like blogs. newspapers and
non-profit groups. and do not
share their personal views of
candidates on the site.

The wiki presents infor-
mation in a variety of forms.
In addition to information
compiled by students. the
website has links to outside
resources and a video of an
Oct. 4 debate between state
Supreme Court candidates
Mary Noble and John Roach.
hosted by the class.

Megan Howard. a com-
munications senior. said the
best part of the class is that in
stead of just having a profes—
sor say what‘s going on. the
class hears what‘s going on
from the people who make de-
eisions.

Price. who helped design
the project. said the class has
“done great stuff." and said
she hopes the wiki will con—
tinue to be a valuable resource
after the November elections.

"The longer it goes on the
better it gets." Price said

Freshmen get advice
on college survival

By Jenisha Watts

news@kykeinel com

A motivational speaker
emphasized to a group of
freshman the importance of
attitude and self~worth in col-
lege last night at the Student
Center.

“You can always tell what
grade at student is going to get
by where they sit in class."
said Betty Griffin. Phi). “To
survive in college. you must
first believe that you can."

Griffin spoke to the stu—
dents as part of a freshman to
cus workshop hosted by the
Office of Multicultural Acader
mic Affairs.

The workshop was dc~
signed to prepare students to
deal with situations and con
cerns that may arise as they
work through their first year
in college. said Joyce Beatty‘.
director of the William C.
Parker Scholarship Program.

“We truly believe that we
should teach students to aspire
to higher achievement." Beat-
ty said. “These workshops are
one way that we can acconr
plish that task."

Griffin. a native of
Dany‘ille. serves as CEO of
The Griffin Group. a national
professional development and
public speaking consulting
agency. She received her
bachelor's degree at Fisk Uni~
versity. earned a master’s of
education and a doctorate of
education at Oregon State
University.

“Somewhere between
kindergarten and freshman
year in college somebody
made you feel dumb." Griffin
said to the students. “Some of

you have been crumbled and
stepped on. and some of your
friends bet that you would not
make it in college.

“You've got to belieye you
have not lost your worth.” she
said. “Get rid of some of the
demons that will hold you
back "

(irrfttn said that the inabil
ity to fit in is the number one
reason why students do not
make it to their sophomore
year and that social activities
should come second.

She advised the students
to make a pledge and develop
a self- motivating attitude

“Pledge today. I will not
miss class." Griffin said. "You
have to get your own batteries
charged up in the morning so
you're ready."

(iritfin encouraged stu-
dents to not settle for an aver
age outlook on life.

“One thing I pray. when I
fly. is that the pilot received
higher than a ‘C" average in
his (classes). I do not want
(anything) ayerage." Griffin
said. “I want you to leave here
knowing you're not ayerage."

Some students at the
workshop enjoyed Griffin's
speech.

“She was real and did not
try to sugarcoat anything."
said SiSi Bright. an unde-
clared freshman. "(The) work-
shop helped out a lot and was
very relevant.”

“Everything was point—
blank. If you did not like it.
then oh well." said Stephanie
Dillon. a marketing freshman.
“It was what we needed to
hear."

Borat revealed

Sacha Baron Cohen. 35.
who stars in Borat (out Novem-
ber 3). rarely does interviews
out of character (he has three:
Kazakh reporter Borat. gangster
wannabe Ali G and flamboyant
fashion reporter Bruno). so Us
uncovered some facts on the se-
cretive star.

He developed Ali G at 12!
The London native break-
danced as a kid. and he based
the character on people he met
in the hip-hop scene. The Uni-
versity of Cambridge grad‘s big
break came in 2000, when he
appeared as Ali G in Madonna’s
“Music" video.

Borat is based on a Russian
doctor he met on vacation “His
way of speaking English made
me laugh." Cohen has said. It
took him six weeks to grow the
character‘s ‘stache. and he's said
he never washes Borat's suit so
he'll smell more “foreign.“

have the disease than men.

”The taboos should come
off.“

Caldwell is also in favor of
routine screening. but said he
knew of a few reasons some
people might choose to opt out
of it.

“Some people just don‘t
want to know (if they have
HlV). they don‘t think they are
at risk, or they are afraid to
know what's going to hap-
pen-they have a fear of the
disease." he said.

Other possible reasons to
opt out are that people are
afraid to confront their part-
ners, afraid of experiencing vi-
olence or abuse. concerned
about their insurance or they
have tested negative before,
Caldwell said.

Caldwell said this last rea-
son does not hold true. be-
cause it can take anywhere
from a few weeks to a year for
a test to change to positive.

Caldwell said some people

think early detection of the
disease would result in spend-
ing more money on health
care.

”It's actually a reasonable
trade-of Caldwell said. “It
could cost less in the future."

Greenberg said he did not;

know the cost of the actual test
but said the test is offered at
health departments.

According to the Lexing-
ton-Fayette County Health De-
partment‘s website. HIV test-
ing is free to the client. and no
appointment is needed. The
health department currently of—
fers anonymous testing. refer-
rals for infected individuals
and safer sex counseling.

Greenberg said only good
can come from being tested.

“My question is. why
not?" Greenberg said. “Every
sexually active individual
should be tested.

“It's like in the old days
with syphilis. which is very
like-spread. We don't see
much of that anymore because
we can test for it. But syphilis
we can cure. HIV we cannot.

“But with proper treat—
ment, people don't have to get
sick."
