Med workers are more wary of infections
By AMBER STENGER
More health care employees at the University of Kansas Medical Center are making an effort to protect themselves from contracting infectious diseases, especially AIDS, employees say.
The Med Center has not changed its infection control policy because of AIDS, said Marcia G. Ailligan, infection control coordinator. It's just that more employees are complying with its recommendations.
"Our philosophy really hasn't changed in regards to precautions," Gilliland said. "We've always taught that all blood and body fluids can be potentially infectious. What has happened is that people because of AIDS are more careful. And so somebody who used to be very lackadaisical when they got a little blood on their hands, is using gloves more now."
is using gives more now. The AIDS virus can not be contracted through casual contact. The virus is transmitted through blood and body fluids.
The national Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta recommend that health care employees wear gloves whenever they may be in contact with a patient's blood or body fluids. When health care employees are in a situation where blood could splatter, such as treating a serious injury, they also are urged to wear protective gowns, masks and goggles. Blood, body fluids, mucous membranes and unattached skin are potentially infe-

Students favor tougher policy for admissions
KU tries

The recommendation would require freshmen, in addition to graduating, to have taken four years of English and three years each of science, social studies and math from an accredited Kansas high school.
A student advisory committee today will recommend to the Board of Regents that Kansas high school students be required to complete certain courses to be guaranteed admission at the six state universities.
The student advisory committee consists of the student body presidents of the Regents schools.
The Regents schools now have an open admissions policy, which means any Kansas resident who graduates from an accredited state high school is admitted automatically to any state university.
The Regents will meet at 9 a.m. today in Topeka to discuss tightening admissions requirements. Their own proposed requirements include a high school curriculum similar to the students' recommendation, but with two years of foreign language. The Regents proposal also includes an ACT score of 23 or better, and ranking in the top third of a class.
The advisory committee considered the Regents proposal before making its own Jason Krakow, KU student body president, opposed part of the Regents proposal.

Under the stars
The best place to look at the stars is from the roof of Lindley Hall. There, every clear Friday at 9 p.m., the Astronomy Associates of Lawrence set up telescopes so the public can watch the stars.
A more private star show lights up the hills around Potter Lake every night, also the best place for a romantic night. On a clear night, the campanile and JRP shine a luminescent mirror image into the lake.

place another favorite place to play on campus at night is in the fountain across from the Chi Omega campus, 1345 W. Campus Road. But if you really want to swim at night, you'll have to leave campus. The best place to go is Clinton Lake, especially near the dock on the north side. Some of you may remember the infamous couple who took their car for a swim near there about three years ago. Their parking brake was apparently kicked off.
The beach is also the best place to run into people you know, although you can't remember their names or why you know them. A simple, "How's it going?" is the best way to greet these people.
People-watching
The best way to see what and who is in fashion is by sitting on the steps at Wescoe Hall. On the "beach" people-watching is an art. The best way to begin people-watching is with a group of friends. Ask a friend what he's doing that night. Then, as he begins to answer, start looking around and over his head at other people. Everyone will think you're listening to your friend, so they won't notice as you analyze their clothes, note the attractiveness of their friends and compare their stylishness with your own. In this way, stone-washed jeans, dyed-tied shoes, tight den skirts and suspenders made their KU fashion debuts.
Making the grade
Making the best way to raise your grade average at KU is to take health, physical education or recreation (HPER) class or a psychology class. Health and Human Sexuality and the Psychology of Satisfaction are popular choices.

The best place to study if you like solitude is in the stacks on $1\frac{1}{2}$ East in Watson. The best place to study and write papers that you put off until the last minute is at the Computer Services Facility, open 24 hours a day except Christmas and New Year's Day. This is also the best

For students on a tight budget,
the best place to work out is
Robinson Gymnasium. Swimming,
weightlifting, raquetball,
tennis and many other sports are
accessible to students. The best
place to stretch out is in the
karate room adjacent to the
weight room. Sometimes it's
closed, so the second-best
place to stretch is in the fencing
room, across the hall from the
locker rooms.
Making the bod
If you can afford it, the best place to lift weights is Junkyard Jym and Nautilus Center, 535 Gateway Dr. The best place to jog and ride bikes is along Clinton Parkway.
A campus tradition is the Jayhawk Cafe, which opened in

Eats and drinks
If you don't like to work out, the best place to make the bod is at Joe's Bakery, 616 W. Ninth St. Joe's is the best place to pig out, especially after 8 p.m. when they
serve hot, greasy, glazed doughnuts. The neon "Hot Doughnuts Now" sign attracts students in droves. Joe's is also the best place to get an inexpensive deli sandwich.
The best place to get a burger and a beer is Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St. The best place for chips and salsa is Dos Hombres, 815 New Hampshire St., referred to by many students as just "Dos." The best place to get a slice of pizza is Pyramid Pizza, 507 W. 14th St., next to the Wagon Wheel Cafe.
