World AIDS Day emphasizes vigilance
By Brent Briggeman Kansan staff writer
in the time it takes for one 60 minute class period, 625 people will be infected with HIV.
In the United States alone, more than 100 people are infected with the disease every day; half of those people are under the age of 25.
Local organizers of the 14th annual World AIDS Day, which takes place on Dec.1, hope to curb these alarming numbers through education. The Douglas County AIDS Project and Watkins Memorial Health Center will work together to bring attention to the epidemic and answer questions.
The theme of this year's World AIDS Day is "I Care ... Do You? Youth and AIDS in the 21st Century."
Bill Smith, Watkins health educator, said the message needed to be reiterated to students.
"With the advances in medications, it seems that people don't take the disease as seriously as they used to." said Smith, adding
that one in 500 college students carries the disease. "That's unfortunate, because the medications are great and are helping to prolong lives, but nobody seems to know about the side effects, and there is still no cure to HIV and AIDS."
Smith will assistataninformation table from 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. today in the
Kansas Union. Volunteers will be downtown from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow at Ninth and Massachusetts streets handing out red ribbons and hot chocolate.
The Campanile will sound its bell 20 times at 1 p.m. Local churches will join in the ringing of the bells. The 20 rings symbolize
the number of years the world has been fighting AIDS.
On Sunday, Douglas County AIDS Project will have the ninth annual Red Ribbon Art Auction at the Marriott's SpringHill Suites in Lawrence's Riverfront Plaza, Sixth and New Hampshire streets. A preview with hors d'oeuvres and drinks begins
the live auction beginning at 7 p.m.
The organization hopes to raise $12,000 from the event.
"Like a lot of nonprofit organizations, we've really taken a hit since Sept. 11," said David Morrissey, office administrator for the AIDS project. "There is a lot of competition for charity money now, so we can use all the help we can get."
The Spencer Museum of Art will display the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. This year's event will feature quilts made in memory of Greg Barker, KU alumnus and former employee of the KU Libraries, and Robert Granberg, a former KU professor.
The Spencer Museum display began on Nov. 17 and will continue through Sunday, Dec. 9.
John Roth, Queers and Allies co-director and Honolulu junior, said the group supported the activities but would not be participating.

Donation creates new business professorship

2411 Cedarwood Ave.
By Paul Smith Kansan staff writer
The School of Business gained an endowed professorship yesterday when the Capitol Federal Foundation announced a $2 million donation.
The professorship will emphasize studies and research relating to financial markets and institutions, which Jack Dicus, chairman of the foundation and a trustee of the University of Kansas Endowment Association, said were important to Capitol Federal and the state.
The professorship will be a new faculty position in the school and will be filled by a professor who will teach and conduct research about finance.
"If the KU First program is successful, and I think it will be successful, a whole lot of good things will happen in the state and in our region," Dicus said.
The donation is the largest in the two-year history of the foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Topeka-based Capitol Federal Savings Bank. The foundation
has assets of about $37 million.
Dicus said his organization was excited by the atmosphere at the University of Kansas.
A commitment from the state legislature influenced the foundation's decision to contribute to the University's capital campaign. The Kansas Partnership for Faculty of Distinction, approved last year, offers a contribution of state money that matches the interest
"There is a real emphasis on excellence," Dicus said, "and we see that in the business school and in the chancellor."
earned from professorship funds.
Bill Fuerst, dean of business said the finance professorship would benefit the faculty.
"It will bring some new expertise to our faculty and further enhance the educational opportunities for our students," he said.
The KU First campaign is the largest fund-raising campaign in KU history, with the goal of raising $500 million by 2004.
The campaign has raised about $300 million to date.
