Peers to educate about sex
By Tiffany Lasha Hurt Kansas staff writer
Next fall, students will have an opportunity to teach their peers about sex.
A student-run Center for Sexual Health Education is now in the works, with the health education department at Watkins Memorial Health Center as its base. Students will be educated about sexual health and trained to teach others — particularly their peers — via skis, lectures and interactive presentations at residence halls, classes, sororities and fraternities and student organizations.
health education at Watkins, said the center would be a resource base for people who want more information on sexual health, as well as a place for peer educators to check in, get information and be trained.
Janine Demo, coordinator for
The center will allow students in Demo's peer health advisory class, which teaches students how to educate their peers about sexual health, to utilize their talents.
But any student interested in being a peer educator will be trained at the center. Demo said it was a proven fact that students were more likely to talk to their peers about sexual health.
Student peer educators inform
more than their peers about sexual health.
Gaywyn Moore, Wichita graduate student and co-acting director of the center, said she had educated her roommates, her family and one of her professors about AIDS.
Moore and Patrick Dilley, Lawrence graduate student and co-acting director of the center, are active members of the Student Senate AIDs Task Force, which currently educates students about AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The center will replace the task force next fall with about 60 already trained peer educators.
Libraries cut back on subscriptions
By Lynne McAdoo
Kansan staff writer
When students and faculty return to the University of Kansas in January, the shelves in the periodicals section of the libraries will hold fewer volumes.
The library had to cancel the subscriptions to 520 journals and periodicals for fiscal year 1993, said Richard Ring, head of collection development. Most of these subscriptions will end in January.
The library currently has about 13,000 periodical titles.
The library's budget for fiscal year
1993 was $4,058,831. The bud.

get for buying books and periodicals was $3,667,152, an increase of 3.7 percent from last year, he said.
About 30 librarians, called bibliographers, are responsible for the research materials of certain departments. They communicate with the faculty to discuss which new journals to subscribe to and which ones to discontinue.
"We are trying to gather a collection of material to serve the research needs and teaching of the future," Ring said. "It will always be easy to criticize that we bought 'Y' instead of 'X.'"
the past few years. He also said that the weak exchange rate of the dollar made periodicals from European countries more expensive.
Al Habeegger, professor of English, said he thought the English department had not suffered much during the cutbacks.
Ring said that the cost of subscribing to the periodicals had risen during
"We're nervous about the loss of any periodicals," he said. "We have to keep with current research." In his classics department, the loss of periodicals was a "big痛."
"It is extremely damaging to our research," said Pam Gordon, assistant professor of classics. "What's going on in the research is vital in teaching."
