U.S. Senate passes AIDS bill
Legislation requires testing those convicted of sex, drug crimes
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Senate passed a billion-dollar AIDS information and research bill last night that called for mandatory AIDS testing of people convicted of sex and drug crimes.
"Finally, we have declared war on the virus and not on the victims in our battle against AIDS," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said after the 87-4 vote.
The vote came after hours of bitter argument over the content of educational materials paid for with federal dollars.
Tempers were lost, curses hurled and senators denied the opportunity
to speak as lawmakers debated whether to renew a 1987 ban on federally funded materials that directly promote or encourage homosexuality.
The ban, which expires Sept. 30, was passed last year 94-2. But sentiment shifted this year after several senators said it was having a chilling effect on public health efforts in the homosexual community, which has the highest percentage of AIDS victims.
The Senate agreed to the ban sponsored by Sen. Jesse Helms, R.N.C., but also agreed to another provision that says education
materials should stress the public health benefits of abstinence, a single monogamous relationship, and avoidance of intravenous drug use. The provision also says that no other part of the bill should restrict the dissemination of accurate information to anyone at risk, apparently superseding the Helms ban.
In addition to voting unanimously to approve mandatory AIDS testing of people convicted of sex and drug crimes, the Senate also accepted neutralized versions of several conservative amendments that supporters said would have hampered the bill.
Dogs play on campus while students work
By Jeff Suggs
Kansan staff writer
On many days, especially warm ones, the campus can be filled with more than just students.
Dogs have been known to run around on campus frolicking while students are busy going to class.
Annette Stenner, Omaha, Neb.
sophomore, said she had noticed quite a few dogs on campus.
"Sometimes they bother me, and sometimes I don't mind them," Stenner said.
Eric Gorski, Palatine, III., freshman, said he too was somewhat indifferent to having dogs run freely on campus.
"I think they're OK as long as they
don't get in the way of what is supposed to go on on campus," he said.
Although unleashed dogs might be a common sight on campus, their presence here is illegal. A city ordinance requires dogs that dogs be leashed while they're outside their owner's private property.
