HIV testing expected to increase in Lawrence
Watkins and health department offer free screening options
By Kerrie Gottschalk
Kansan staff writer
After Magic Johnson announced last week that he had tested positive for HIV, local health officials predicted an increase in the demand for HIV testing at the University of Kansas and in Lawrence.
Watkins had several patients walk in Friday and request to be tested, Yockevsaid.
"I think we have done more today than we have all month," he said Friday.
Johnson, who played as a guard for the Los Angeles Lakers for 12 seasons, announced Thursday that he was retiring from basketball because he
had tested positive for HIV, the virus that precedes AIDS. Johnson led the Lakers to five NBA championships.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department reported that requests for HIV testing had not increased on Friday.
"I do think there will be an increase in the near future," said Kay Kent, a professor of human development department. "But even before this situation, we were seeing an increase."
Health department statistics reveal a 39-percent increase in HIV tests administered in July, August and September of 1991 compared to the same months in 1990. October's statistics were not immediately available.
The health department provides HIV testing to the public in which patients do not have to give their real names, Kent said. She said patients
received pre- and post-test counseling appointments and receive test results within two weeks.
Blood samples are tested for free by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment in Topeka, Kent said.
Students can be tested two ways at Watkins, Yockey said.
Watkins performs anonymous testing, which is done the same way as the health department's testing.
However, appointments for anonymous testing at Watkins are booked through the middle of the spring semester, Yockey said.
The other form of testing is confidential testing. Patients can walk in and request to have an HIV test. The results are returned within five days.
Confidential testing requires that
personal information be given, but Yockey said the results of the confidential test could not be revealed to anyone unless the patient signed a release form.
"We do have HIV-positive students who know it and who are being treated for it," said Janine Demo, coordinator of Tiksins' health education department.
She said from 50 to 60 KU students probably were HIV-positive if national statistics that reported that one in three college students had HIV were accurate.
Watkins' health education department provides pamphlets and brochures about HIV testing and AIDS, and health educators also are available to answer student questions. Demo said.
Spectrum of HIV infection
Being infected with HIV is not the same as having AIDS. HIV causes a spectrum of conditions and symptoms.
Infected No symptoms Mild symptoms AIDS
- The scientific name for HIV is human immunodeficiency virus.
- AIDS is the most severe, life-threatening form of HIV. AIDS attacks the body's immune system and decreases the body's defense against infection. People with AIDS develop a group of related symptoms and disorders, such as cancer or pneumonia.
- On the average, it takes about 10 years from the time HIV is diagnosed to the time when serious symptoms develop.
- HIV may progress slowly or quickly along the spectrum of HIV infection.
- Anti-viral drug therapy can slow significantly the progression of HIV.

Memories of Kansas tradition live on in Allen Field House

was the captain of Kansas' 1992 national championship spirit squad, said the secret to winning that game was a good running back.
"It's been around for so long," Morgan said. "It has to so many memories inside of it that there is a feeling of security carried on from year to year and coach to coach."
Tradition
"The thing that makes Allen Field House so special is trade in a consistent coach Mark Crawford."
"Kids growing up in Kansas dream about getting out on the same floor that Danny Manning. Jo JO White and some of the other great ones have been on."
For Turgeon, that was a dream that came true. Turgeon was a four-year letterman at Kansas from 1984 to 1987. Only Danny Man-Neighbors had a chance to play in a Kansas uniform during this period.
Turgcean said that Jayhaw opponents were always aware of the Kansas tradition but that he did not know if he knew if they were
The "Kansas across our uniform is intimidating to other teams," he said. "Our fans are
Former Jayhawk forward Mark Randall agreed.
"All you have to do to see the tradition is look up and see all the banners," Randall said.
Then and now
Allen Field House is known for its tradition, but it has changed with the times.
In its inception, the floor around the court
hive, were people or animals. They are men, and they are women. They
was dirt, which had to be sprayed before every game to keep the dust down. The retractable wooden bleachers, when retracted, made way for track, baseball and football practice before Anschutz Sports Pavilion was built.
When Anschutz was completed in 1884, the old wooden seats were replaced with aluminum ones. The bleachers were extended to come to the edge of the court on all four sides. A study by Bentley and Green said the effect of having the bleachers so close to the court was "solid people, solid noise."
More seats were added above the court entrances in 1986, increasing the field house's size.
After enduring several seasons with a leaky roof, the field house got a $589,700 new roof last year. The new roof is expected to last at least 20 years. Frederick said the University needed to find out how long the facility could be structurally maintained.
"I hope the building matches the roof," he said. "Every time somebody brings up the idea of a new arena, everybody, including Roy Williams, says, 'Nay!'
Williams said the building's acoustics made it a dangerous weapon.
"I believe it's in the loudest place I've ever been involved in with college basketball, and I've cosched everywhere." Williams said. "That's because the most enthusiastic in college basketball."
Williams said the fans and the building got the team added confidence playing at home.
Construction on Allen Field House was completed in 1955.
"I think our players feel comfortable that we're not going to let someone come into our living room and take something away from us," he said. "We have a tremendous home-
court advantage."
The Kansas fans packed the house again last season, leading the Big Eight in attendance and ranking 11th nationally. After drawing an average of more than 200,000 fans in each of the last seven seasons, the Jayhawks will elapse 50,000 spectators some time later. The statistic started being kept in 1964, 10 years after the field house opened its doors.
Senior forward Alonzo Jamison said the Javhawk fans made the field house stand out.
*people it all* *kansas* *make this a special*
*piece* in horn and bark on us our boring clog.
"It doesn't matter if we're playing Missouri or a Division II team. The fans come out here."
Frederick, who was a member of the 1959-60 Jayhawks and a graduate assistant under Coach Dick Harp and Coach Ted Owens, said he loved the game an increasingly important part of the game.
"The crowd is much better now," he said. "They get much more involved. They are much more a part of the Allen Field House experience.
"Many people, including (ESPN commentator) Dick Vitale, have acknowledged this as one of the toughest places in the country to play."
Phoq warning
In the north end of the arena, a banner says,
"Pay Heed All Who Enter: Beware of the
'Phog.'
Frame portraits of past Jayhawk greats guard guard around the arena. There is no guard in view.
The field house is silent except for the sound of the wind blowing against the old building.
The banners hanging from the rafters boast of what has happened here and what can hap-
"I has a certain feel to it, even when you're
in the off season. I don't know what it is."
"Allen Field House is an experience in itself," Morgason said.
"Maybe it's old Phog. He's still around here somewhere."
