》 DELTA FORCE
Student activist group focuses on issues, not candidates
Organization opts to inform students on sexual health, sustainability instead of campaigning Student Senate nominees
BY BRENNA HAWLEY

Delta Force has decided to focus on the issues of sexual health and sustainability during Student Senate elections and started coming up with methods to distribute information. This year, the group won't run candidates for election and will instead campaign to raise awareness for these issues.
Bridley Maidhof, Overland Park senior and co-president of Delta Force, said the group chose these issues because almost everyone in the group had an interest in them.
Maidhof said the group would campaign like they normally would for a candidate by tabling and handing out flyers, but would focus on the issues. She said the group would also work with other campus groups, like the Center
for Sustainability and Watkins Memorial Health Center, to distribute information.
Maidhrood said a goal of the sustainability efforts was for the chancellor to sign the President's Climate Commitment, an agreement to improve sustainability efforts on campus. At least 498 universities signed the agreement
the agreement. She said Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability, already took the document to the chancellor but it wasn't signed.
another campus group distribute information about sustainability on campus would be helpful, especially because Delta Force has a presence on campus and relates well to students.
(Bridey) Maidhof said the group would campaign like they normally would for a candidate by tabling and handing out flyers, but would focus on the issues.
Severin said sustainability was looking at issues with an environmental, economic and social responsibility in mind. Severin said having
He said he was already working with the University to improve use of resources and energy consumption on campus.
it was hard to get students mobilized on any issue, even though many students were aware of the problem of sustainability.
"There's been a negative stigma attached to anything green, and people automatically label it a hippie issue," Maidhof said.

senior and co-president of Delta Force, said Delta Force had sexual health as a platform in a previous campaign, so many members were knowledgeable on the subject.
Liz Stuewe, Lawrence senior and member of Delta Force, said many students didn't realize how sexual health affected them. She said one in two sexually active people would get sexually-transmitted diseases by age 25, which directly affected college students.
"it's kind of becoming a taboo to talk about," Stuwe said.
Stuewe said she thought part of the problem with students getting diseases was that they were taught abstinence-only education in public school, so they weren't aware of how dangerous unprotected sex could be.
"As Delta Force, we can't change the school systems students come
from," Stuewe said.
She said through campaigning, working with other campus groups and bringing college-friendly sex education to campus, Delta Force could improve knowledge about unprotected sex.
Ken Sarber, health educator for Watkins, said Watkins hosted talks and presentations at residence halls, greek houses and Watkins last semester to make sure students were aware of the risks of unsafe sex. He said they passed out a safe-sex kit, which included condoms, lubrication and information on sexually-transmitted diseases and how to prevent them.
He said the center also provided disease testing for people who may not be practicing safe sex when they come to college.
"A lot of students get freedom for the first time in college, and
some feel the peer pressure because everyone's talking about sex," Sarber said.
Cross said another goal of Delta Force was to lower prices for testing at Watkins. Sarber said the most expensive tests were for chlamydia and gonorrhea, which cost $43.90 each.
Maidhof said that Delta Force did not have specific events planned to promote their issues, but knew they would be campaigning at the same time as candidates for Student Senate.
Maidhof said that because many of the group's members were also members of other coalitions she expected them to commit more to their coalition as the elections come closer. She said Delta Force would not be aligning with either coalition.
