HIV testing expected to increase in Lawrence
Watkins and health department offer free screening options
Kansan staff writer
By Kerrie Gottschalk
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.
Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said he already had seen an increase.
Watkins had several patients walk in Friday and request to be tested, Yockeysaid.
"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, director of the health department. "There is a huge 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

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 for Kins' health education department.
She said from 50 to 60 KU students probably were HIV-positive if national statistics that reported that one in three high school 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.

Kansas plays key role in history of basketball
By David Mitchell
Kansan Sportswriter
In the winter of 1891, James Naismith, a physical education instructor in Springfield, Mass, was asked to come up with an indoor basketball season. It took several months between football and baseball seasons.
After several failed attempts, Naismith came up with basketball. Eight years later, he became a star.
The game and the school have been linked ever since.
"We've had as much of an impact on the game as anyone," Kansas athletic director Bob Frederick said. "You've got to start by the inventor of the game was our first coach."
Naismith coached the Jayhawks from 1898 to 1907. With an overall record of 55-60, he is the only Kansas coach to ever have a los record in his tenure as coach.
Ironically, the only Kansas coach with losing record was replaced with the winningest record in the division.
"The role Kansas has played in the history of basketball is unsurpassed by any other institution in the United States," said Jeff Eighng东 Eight Conference service bureau director.
"There was some great coaching with Phog
Allen there. He developed some tremendous
work."
Only two programs, Kentucky and North
Park, have played games than the Jay-
bawls. 14 total victories.
Both schools can trace their success back to Kansas.
Kentucky coaching legend Adolph Rupp was a member of the Jayhawks' 1922 and 1923 national championship teams, which were coached by Allen.
Rupp's Wildcats'teams won 880 games in 41
Former Kansas coach Dick Harp said the family tree of coaching was unique to Kansas.
seasons. He surpassed Allen as coacheng coach's all-time victory leader. Allen's Kansas teams won 590 games in 39 seasons. Including victories while coaching at Baker, Haskell and Central Missouri State, Allen's teams won a total of 746 games, second only to Rupp.
"The only person who has a shot at Mr. Kupp's total victory record is Dean Smith," she said.
Smith-coached teams have won 717 games. Former Kansas coach Larry Brown and Coach Roy Williams were both assistants to Smith.
North Carolina coach Dean Smith was also a Kansas letterman coached by Allen. Smith was a member of the Jayhawks' 1952 national championship team.
"Dean has become his own person," Harp said, "but he can still quote everything important Dr. Allen ever said. Roy is certainly asking what he learned at North Carolina."
Harp played for Allen and was an assistant coach to Allen before becoming the 'Hawks head coach in 1864. Harp said his mentor knew what would become the success it is today.
"Dr. Allen was a visionary man," he said. He's the CAA's first annual tournament in 1930 lost to
"There was some discussion about that," said Harp, who was a junior at the time of the first tournament. "Dr. Allen guaranteed to make sure the commitment to Kansas City, it would make money."
"Municipal Stadium was sold out. That convinced people that the tournament was a good idea. It's grown by leaps and bounds ever since."
And so has college basketball.
