Students, faculty mix it up
By Mike Perryman
Kansan staff writer
Students and faculty did not tap out the kegs and dance feverishly at the Biology Club's annual student/faculty mixer last night. Instead, they chugged lemonade, ate cookies and got to know one another.
The mixer was open to all students, was on the patio outside of Haworth Hall and was sponsored by the Biology Club and the department of biology. About 20 faculty members and 25 students attended the mixer.
It was an effort to familiarize students with the faculty and show them what the department had to offer, said Christopher Hauffer, professor of biological sciences and faculty sponsor for the Biology Club.
Sally Frost-Mason, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said it was good to see so many people taking advantage of this opportunity.
It also is an opportunity for students to see that professors are human beings and don't just hide in offices and research labs, he said.
"Student/faculty meetings like this don't happen enough," she said. "So students and teachers benefit when they decide to come share interests and talk with each other."
One of the main goals of the mixer is for biology majors and faculty to guide students who are deciding on a major. Frost-Mason said.
Members of the Biology Club try to assist undergraduate biology majors and other students in pursuing their interests, said Tarun Bargava, Wichita senior and Biology Club president.
The club, consisting of undergraduates, introduced students to faculty and provided them with biology information at the mixer.
"It's a fun way for students to interact with the faculty," he said. "But it is also a way for students to get to know each other and eat free food."

Brian Lavid, Buffalo, N.Y., senior, studying biology and chemistry, said the get-together was a good way to meet other students with the same majors and interests.
It is important that students feel comfortable approaching the faculty, said John Brown, professor of microbiology.
"Students should never hesitate to come into Haworth and talk with someone, anyone, about an interest they may have in biological sciences," he said. "We are all here for a common purpose."
The No-Needle HIV Test
The new Orasure test for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is available on a walk-in basis. It's the simplest, no-needle way to be sure: a small collection pad is placed between your cheek and gum for 2 minutes. The pad takes a sample containing HIV antibodies, and is sent to a clinical laboratory for analysis. Cost is $40. Pre- and post-test counseling included. For more information: Lab O 864-9544
Anonymous HIV Testing is also available by appointment.
No record is kept, and you can use any first name. Cost is $19 cash, paid when tested. Pre- and post-test counseling included.
Appointments: 864-9507
If you think you might be HIV-positive, you need to krow for sure. People with HIV who get early and consistent medical care live longer, healthier lives.
Nagging won't make you quit.
It's hard to stop smoking. And it doesn't help when friends and family bug you about it.
So, maybe you should try the "No-Naq, No-Guilt.
Do-It-Your-Own-Way" Quitting Smoking Program. It's a positive-approach program based on what smokers said would help them quit.
