16 Wednesday, April 4, 1990 / University Daily Kansan Smith & Wessons Thursday Night- 25¢ Draws 50¢ Well Drinks 18 & Up Admitted 623 Vermont 843-0689 Panelists stress importance of stronger AIDS education By Bryce J. Tache Kansan staff writer Beverly Barbo's voice trembled. After three years, the tears have not stopped. "I if I could have had more openness with my son, Tim, rather than being so hung up with the fact that he was homosexual, then I think it would have been easier on me, him and the entire family," she said. Barbo's son died in 1987 of complications of AIDS. She recounted her personal tragedy in her book, "The Walking Wounded," and she and her husband tour the country to talk to people about the disease. Barbo was one of four panelists at a question-and-answer session last night at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. The session followed the screening of "Common Threads," a film about AIDS that won an Academy Award for best documentary last month. About 125 people attended the presentation sponsored by the Douglas County AIDS Project as part of AIDS Awareness Week. A woman named Claudia also sat on the panel. She tested HIV positive three years ago. "It was a long time before I could deal with the diagnosis," she said. "I got passed over because I wasn't a gay, white male. The doctors tried to convince me that I had mono, or a virus, or I just needed rest." Claudia, a nurse by profession, said she had stuck herself many times with dirty needles but did not know exactly when or how she contracted the virus. She is a volunteer at the Topeca AIDS Project. She said educating and helping other people had helped her survive. "We need other people to fight for us and deal with the government," she said. "There have got to be advocates. I did not have the stamina to cut through the red tape. I have that support now." . Donald Hatton, a Lawrence physician and chairman of Gov. Mike Hayden's AIDS Task Force, was the third member of the panel. He said it was time for an increase in AIDS education. "We need to teach what promiscuity is, and we need to focus on the difficulty of drug abuse," he said. "We need to teach people about certain behavior and the consequences of that behavior." Ann Ailor, a representative of the Douglas County Health Department, also sat on the panel. She received an antibody testing and counseling. "I think it would be great if we could get rid of all the social stigma and labels and rubbish that is attached to AIDS," she said. "This is not an AIDS issue," she said. "This is a sexual orientation issue. And that should not be the issue. Sexual promiscuity, maybe, but not sexual orientation." Greg Hoyt, Mission sophomore said the evening was educational. "The importance is to have people more educated on issues of AIDS and that it can hit everyone, not just a select group of people," he said. Celebrities phone boy with AIDS The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — AIDS patient Ryan White fought for his life yesterday as thousands of messages of love and prayers poured in from small towns and big names, including President Bush, Michael Jackson, Tony Danza and Elton John, who spent five hours with the family. White, 18, remained in critical condition on a life-support system, said Martin B. Kleiman, a physician. He was unconscious and heavily sedated so life-support systems would function more efficiently. White, who during his five-year battle with AIDS grew from an object of scorn in his hometown of Kokomo, Ind., to an international spokesman for AIDS patients, has been hospitalized at Riley Hospital for Children since Thursday. His mother, Jeanne, and sister, Andrea, have remained at his bedside. His father, Wayne, who is divorced from Jeanne White, visited his son Monday. Walt Linn, who oversees the hospital switchboard, said, "We handled 4,500 calls yesterday, and we'll probably get 5,000 today." "It's very hard, what we're going through, and our family needs to be together here," Jeanne White said in her first public statement since Ryan's hospitalization. Kleiman said he believed optimism persisted but said, "We're realistic. He's critically ill."
