Med workers are more wary of infections
By AMBER STENGER Staff writer
Staff writer
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 A. Gillianl, 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 dangerous might have given a little blood on their hands, is using gloves more now."
using gloves 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 unprotected skin are potentially infective.

Students favor tougher policy for admissions
By NOEL GERDES
Staff writer
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 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.
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.
