Social workers, students attend overview on AIDS
By AMBER STENGER
Staff writer
TOPEKA—People need to come to terms with the reality of AIDS, a KU doctor student told members of the national association of Special World Trade Unions.
"We need to move beyond denial and look at what it is," said the student, Richard Donner, a doctoral candidate in the School of Social Welfare. "It is not someone else's problem. It is our problem."
Donner was one of six speakers who gave an overview of epidemic diseases, especially AIDS, to about 40,000 welfare students and social workers.
William Wade, a Topeka specialist in family medicine and sexually transmitted diseases, also addressed the need to talk openly about AIDS.
through intercourse; it is spread through doing the big 'I-T'. We need to talk turkey."
"Our society doesn't like to talk about two things: one, sexuality and two, premature death. And AIDS involves both," he said. "It is spread
Wade tried to make the audience aware of the facts about AIDS by using case histories, diagrams and statistics.
Eighty-eight Kansans are reported to have AIDS. However, Wade said that more than 200 people in Kansas had been treated for AIDS but were not counted because they moved to other states.
As of Thursday, more than 42,354 people in the United States were reported to have AIDS, he said. He compared that with the 27,519 reported AIDS cases in November 1986.
People who have AIDS should not be called victims, Wade said, because people do have some control over the contraction of the disease. He said all the women, as well as the men, in the audience should be carrying a condom because people should
be responsible for their own safety
"There are no risk groups; there is
no need to be on alert."
For example, intravenous drug users share needles because it is a sign of loyalty to the group, he said.
"Just say no, Nancy' doesn't always work. We have to address the behavior." Wade said.
State Rep. Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence, talked about the legislative views on AIDS. She said that education was the only tool to stop the spread of AIDS.
Branson also praised the work of Gov. Hayden's AIDS task force and said she hoped that legislators would not base decisions on emotions or societal pressures.
Suzanne Dworak-Peck, national president of the social workers association, gave the luncheon address at the downtown Ramada Inn. The title of her speech was "AIDS: We Need to Know — We Need to Care."

go out and have fun." he said.
John Fairman, K-State assistant vice president for university relations, said the university would begin an educational campaign next week to encourage students to obey the law and to stay away from Aggieville.
He said university officials and student leaders would go to all residence halls and greek houses and ask questions about their own living groups that night.
is what could happen if things go too far"
"I don't want to see some coed have a 20-inch scar down her face from a bottle indiscriminately thrown," Fairman said. "And I don't want to see some student dead. That
K-State has designated Nov. 7 as Parent's Day. Campus police said that Parents' Day traditionally has seen the fewest problems of any weekend during the school year and hope that with parents in town, students will not want to start trouble.
Another factor that might keep students from becoming unruely, university officials said, is that the football game is scheduled later in the season than in the past. K-State officials said that the late game date was unintended, but said that if the
weather was cold, a riot would be less likely.
Many K-State students said that regardless of the weather or Parent's Day activities, they planned to go to Aggleville just to see what develops.
"The first riot was an accident. The second one was planned. I don't know what to expect this year," said Kerry Gaffney, a KState senior from Louisville. "I didn't want a good part but I wouldn't say that they are an effort to top what happened."
Janet Smith, a K-State senior from New Jersey, said most of her friends were already planning to spend the evening in Agillevie.
Soviets may free Red Square pilot
It quoted Soviet government sources as saying Rus't would be November 7, the 70th anniversary of the Bohregvik Revolution.
LONDON - Mathias Rust, the 19-year-old West Germanipan sentenced to four years in a labor camp for landing his plane in Red Square, will be released and sent home to Hamburg next month, reported the Sunday Express, a London newspaper.
The decision was made because Soviet leaders were convinced Rust had done nothing sinister.

Horse
jumping over obstacles for 10 miles, and it would get tired unless the rider knew how to control the horse so it would tire less."
However, most of the riders who competed Saturday probably had never hunted foxes. But some com- ments have shown an a dozen horse shows each year.
Kati Lents, 9, from Leavenworth, won several first-place ribbons in the junior division for horse jumping and the flat course competition. She said she had been competing in horse shows for two years, and would compete in about 20 shows this year.
We also have to pay for hotel rooms.
"The biggest expense is the logistics of it." Lens said. "You've got to have a trailer and pay for the stake where they stay at each competition.
Kati's father, Miklos Lents, said he encouraged his daughter to compete in the horse shows even though they were expensive and time consuming.
"I got started when I asked my dad for lessons," Kati said. "I like ami-der and I like work with you if I can for a couple of hours a day. I also take lessons three days a week."
"But parents pay to send their kids to college, and with sports it costs more when you get to some level," he said. "The higher you go in involvement the more expensive it becomes. I have had to quit drinking a beer sometimes and go out and pick her up. But a lot of parents do similar things for gymnastics or other sports."
Courtney Borel, 17, from Topeka,
won a blue ribbon in horse jumping.
Borel said her horse, Taxi, was a
major reason she did well.
"I know why he is called Taxi." Borel said. "Because he gets you around. If I get too close to a jump he will he go right over it anyway, and if I am too far away from a jump — I will be farther away, and I will still adjust and get me over it."
Pam Kilrogers, 16, of Easton, won a first-place ribbon in both horse jumping and flat course. She also won horse was integral to her success.
Borel said Taxiwas the first horse she met, and that she had a special affection for him.
