SUA is calling all student filmmakers for festival
Student Union Activities is currently accepting short films from students to be shown at the University's second annual International Film Festival in February.
Winners will have their short films shown before the screening of international films each night.
Entries must be less than 15 minutes in length and are due by p. 5 m., Friday, Jan. 22 in the SUA Box Office, level four of the Kansas Union. Students can pick up an instruction packet at the SUA Box Office.The film must also have been produced after Jan. 1, 2010.
After submitting the film shorts, a panel of judges consisting of representatives from SUA and the KU community will pick a first, second and third place winner. The winners will receive a prize in addition to having their films screened.
"We have received only a few entries so far," Andrew Fillmore said, SUA films and media coordinator. "But we anticipate many more in the coming weeks and after winter break. This gives students a great chance to give their short films exposure on campus."
"We had about 350 people attend last year and received about 10 entries," Fillmore said. "We think we will receive a lot more this year since last year was the inaugural year."
The event is co-sponsored with Expresion en Corto, the largest international film competition in Mexico, and The Tech Shop at the Kansas Union.
The event will take place in Woodruff Auditorium, level five the Kansas Union, Feb. 18 to 20.

awareness surrounding safe sex, and we also want to provide free HIV testing," Bonifield said.
Stacey Burton, education and outreach coordinator for the Douglas County Aids Project, said this was the third time the group had sponsored this event at the University this semester.
More than 30 students and faculty members were tested Tuesday. Burton said more than 100 students and faculty members had been tested at the events this semester.
The group used OraSure test kits, where a swab was used to collect saliva from inside the mouth. The testing was confidential and took eight to 10 minutes.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Web site, World AIDS Day was established in 1988. According to an article published in Journal Watch, 32,311 cases of AIDS were reported to the Centers for Disease Control that year.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that more than one million Americans are living with HIV.
Burton said one in every five people infected with HIV didn't know they were infected.
The Douglas County AIDS Project and Queens and Allies will also play host to a drag show today at Wilde's Chateau 24, 2412 Iowa St. Turner and others will participate in the drag show to raise money for the Douglas County AIDS Project. The show will start at 10:30 p.m.

Steele said he understood the importance of reconstruction at the University and was glad for the funds to do it, but he said there needed to be consideration for the students and teachers.
"This is an academic institution, and I saw that the construction was, at least, compromising what we were all trying to do," he said.

Neither Steele nor Shands made formal complaints. Steele recognized that it was probably cheapest and most efficient to do construction work during the day. Whether it was worth
Shands said the noise was so bad once that her teacher almost canceled the rest of class. Because of the severity of the issue, she said, the problem needed to be taken seriously.
"I think it should be addressed," she said. "I don't think they should be able to do that sort of construction during class hours."
Modig said he would talk to his staff and make any necessary adjustments to be less disruptive. But he emphasized that, without a complaint, it was difficult to know what construction sites caused a noise problem.

audience — some of whom could end up in combat because of Obama's decision — climbed over chairs to shake hands with their commander in chief and take his picture.
Obama's announcement drew less-wholehearted support from congressional Democrats. Many of them favor a quick withdrawal, but others have already proposed higher taxes to pay for the fighting.
Republicans reacted warily, as well. Officials said Sen. John McCain, who was Obama's Republican opponent in last year's presidential campaign, told Obama at an early evening meeting attended by numerous lawmakers that declaring a timetable for a withdrawal would merely send the Taliban underground until the Americans began to leave.
WEST POINT, N.Y. — Declaring "our security is at stake," President Barack Obama ordered an additional 30,000 U.S. troops into the long war in Afghanistan Tuesday night, nearly tripling the force he inherited as commander in chief. He promised an impatient public he would begin bringing units home in 18 months.
As a candidate, Obama called Afghanistan a war worth fighting, as opposed to Iraq, a conflict he opposed and has since begun easing out of.
The buildup to about 100,000 troops will begin almost immediately — the first Marines will be in place by Christmas — and will cost $30 billion for the first year alone.
Obama orders 30,000 troops
It marked the second time in his young presidency that Obama has added to the American force in Afghanistan, where the Taliban has recently made significant advances. When he became president last January, there were roughly 34,000 troops on the ground; there now are 71,000.
Their destination: "the epicenter of the violent extremism practiced by al-Qaida"
In a prime-time speech at the U.S. Military Academy, the president told the nation his new policy was designed to "bring this war to a successful conclusion," though he made no mention of defeating Taliban insurgents or capturing al-Qaida terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.
The president said the additional forces would be deployed at "the fastest pace possible so that they can target the insurgency and secure key population centers."
"We must deny al-Qaida a safe haven." Obama said in spelling out
