UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Monday, November 30, 1992 5 Jason Auld/ KANSAN Staley Ginsberg of New York City examines an AIDS awareness display in Watson Library. The display includes AIDS related items and literature and is being shown as part of World AIDS Day, which starts tomorrow. AIDS display educates KU Creator says ignorance is main enemy By Mark Martin Kansan staff writer Two displays in Watson Library and Anschutz Science Library, put together by a KU librarian, are designed to show the dramatic effect AIDS has had on the world. The displays include information ranging from how governments have dealt with the disease to literature about AIDS. The displays will continue in the libraries until Jan. 20 as part of KU's observance of World AIDS Day tomorrow. "I wanted to get the message out that AIDS does affect everybody and everything," said Rich Crank, an assistant librarian at the science library. "We still have a lot of people on this campus who think 'This won't happen to me.' That's basic ignorance. It will affect everyone at some point." Crank said he began preparing the exhibit after a friend of his died in June from complications of AIDS. He dedicated the display to that friend, along with another friend who is HIV positive, and Reinaldo Arenas, a Cuban writer he met who later died from complications of AIDS. get." "When someone goes through that, it hits everybody around them," he said. "It's not something you ever for- In the exhibit area near the main entrance at Watson, "AIDS and Its Impact" displays books like "Poets for Life: Seventy-Six Poems Respond to AIDS," books on AIDS in various parts of the world and buttons and pamphlets in many languages. Also included is "Understanding AIDS," a pamphlet published by the U.S. Surgeon General that was made to every home in the country in 1988. Call numbers are included to show where all the materials are located in the library. "There's everything from the psychology of AIDS to plays and novels concerning the disease," Crank said. "I wanted to make people think about AIDS and provide a means for people to get further information about it." The display near the front entrance of the science library, called "AIDS: Scientific and Medical Aspects," shows books and journals such as "Behavioral Aspects of AIDS" and "A Strange Virus of Unknown Origin," which details the first several years of scientific and medical research on AIDS. Crank said he was disgusted with the perception that AIDS was a homosexual disease. "I guess attitudes will change when massive numbers of straight people become HIV positive," he said. The United States Center for Disease Control reported the first official case of AIDS in the summer of 1981. Eleven years later, the World Health Organization reports more than 500,000 cases of AIDS worldwide. Pre-order your books at the KU Bookstores and save!
