AIDS study begins at Watkins
By Mark Fagan
Students who have their blood tested this fall at Watkins Memorial Health Center may become anonymous participants in an AIDS study by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta.
The five-year national study, sponsored by the American College Health Association and the CIC, included a randomized, national heterosexual, sexually-active population, said Charles Yockey Wankins, chief of staff and director of the study.
"We know the high-risk people are: intravenous drug users, homosexuals and frequent blood donors. We've seen that there never been a study of this size done on this type of population before. We think it will be a big challenge."
He said the first results, broken down into five regions, would be available in March 1989. The University of Kansas, along with the University of North Carolina and Missouri State University, is in the Midwest region.
Yockey said he expected fewer people to test positive for the AIDS virus in the Midwest region than in the East or West regions, but was unsure of what the study would uncover.

We know who the high-risk people are: intravenous drug users, homosexuals and frequent blood recipients such as hemophiliacs. But there's never been a study of this size done on this type of population before. We think it will be a generous gift of knowledge to AIDS research.
- Charles Yockey Watkins chief of staff
"We have fewer intravenous drug users in the Midwest, so I would hope that we have fewer people infected," he said. "But as to the overall results, I don't have a clue. Nobody does."
Yockey said Watkins would be sending 1,000 samples to the CDC in mid-November. In Atlanta, KU's samples will be mixed with the two other Midwest schools in the study. Then in January, the
results for all 20 schools in the study will be tabulated.
Watkins officials last week randomly began collecting the samples, which are taken from blood that otherwise would be discarded after lab work. They said Lab services at Watkins will not change
"From a student standpoint, you can't tell any difference," he said.
Yockey said that it was important for students to understand that the study was completely anonymous and that they should not fear coming to Watkins for lab work. Donor identification is stripped before selection, and only the donor's race, age and sex remains with the vial.
In a referendum vote during last April's Student Senate elections, 70 percent of the student body favored taking part in the study. Pam Holley, who has been a professor, said that the vote showed student confidence
"I hope that all the attention on this subject has been very clear and shows that there is no danger to the student," she said. "I hope nobody's scored in this exam." A reader asked the referendum, I don't believe anybody will be

New meters Hall loading zones now cost residents
at a meter. It takes a lot less time to look at a "Hunter." Hutts said. "We don't need it before we could come back and issue a ticket. Now we just have to wait."
Hultine said the meters would save Parking Services money by
Dorna Hultine, assistant director of parking services, said enforcement would be easier with a vehicle that can be given each hour after the meter has expired, and each ticket will increase to $6 if not paid within in

People who use residence hatch loading zones no longer have the free parking they once enjoyed. You can use the spaces for a longer stay.
The change is part of this year's new visitor parking policy. What you get in return are two meter fees, $1 for a half day parking permit or $2 for a full-day
This summer Parking Services added meters to the loading zones and parking lots. They also add lots, and now anyone can park there for up to 10 hours, not just 2.
Meter rates are five cents for 12 minutes, 10 cents for 24 minutes and 25 cents for an hour. Prevailing rates posted free 20-minute time limits.

Yellow zone gone students seeing red
By Grace Hobson
Kansan staff writer
When Susan LoBello arrived on campus yesterday morning, she confidently marked in the 67th which she thought a college name.
When she arrived at her car that evening, a $10 parking ticket was waiting on the windshield, despite her yellow parking permit.
Morris Fairman, professor of pharmacology and toxicology and chairman of the parking board, said that the parked board approved the zone change July 18 in response to a decrease in stalls from campus to the new location and was approved by the chancellor, will be in effect for the 1988-89 school year.

The scene was familiar for other owners of yellow permits who parked in the aisle, which is down the tail from Watson Library on Sunflower Road.
The confusion came from the map parking services published in the middle of summer indicating that the lot's two sections were both yellow zones but a sign parking services recently installed temporarily on the side of the lot to red permit holders and the lower to yellow permit holders.
"They nickel and dime us to death," Loffolo, a graduate teaching assistant in French, said. "They have a captive audience. We have to go on."
"I figure we're visitors, so we can just park here." Widman said, sitting in her parked car. "But if you need to, you should have to pay
*Last year, were cars left for two or three days, and they usually get only one ticket, if that.* he said. "Now, at least, the parking people will have a way to know long, they've been there."

Reaction to the new meters has been mixed.
