AIDSDaycallsfor testing, awareness ByTARA MOBERTY tmoberly@mscd.edu Peoplepaused to observeWorld AIDS Day Dec. l, honoring those who have lost the batde with the disease,an{ also calling attention to thosewho still suffer from it. While many medical advancements have been made that allow people with HW and AIDS to live longer, the disease remains a big concern in this country, especiallyin ,Colorado, More than 81,OOOColoradan's are infectedwith HIV and AIDS, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Much of the attention is placed on the disease'seffectsin sub-Saharan Africa and the developingworld, while the AIDS crisis in the U.S.is often overlooked. "Everynine minutes another person in the U.S.is infectedwith HIV" said Michael lee, spokesmanfor the C.oloradoAIDS Prolect. "One in four peopleliving with HIV are unawar€ of their status." Higher awarenessof the disease is k€y to winning the battle, Leesaid, encouraging everyone to talk more openly about the diseaseto prevent further infection. "It usedto be,prior to 1997, we.

called it the diseasedu iour. Celebs were wearing the red ribbons at the Oscars. People were talking about it," lee said. "With the introduction of anti-retroviral medication, it was a double-edgedsword. It created a double standard that we had cured this disease.Peoplestarted to get the sensethat we had defeatedthe disease,and that was really challenging." This created apathy toward the disease, coupled with abstinenceonly education in Colorado, has raised big conoerns for those aged l5-22 in the state. "We're really, really concerned about youth. We're chanElng now, but we've been an abstinence-only education state until this year," I-€e said. "We've been feaching abstinence only, and we haven't been teaching our children how to make healthy, safedecisions.They haven't been taught the samelessonsabout making healthy decisions that the generationbeforethem have." Changes are coming to Colorado's schoolsas HouseBill 1292, which passedlast year. will put science-basedsex education back into the classnroms,an encouraging development,ke said. "We know that betweenthe aees

of 15-22 is whenthe persondevelops the sexualpatternstheT'll continue throughout life. If they developrisky behaviors,it's hard to changethem," t€e said. "It's not iust about using condoms.It's about how to navigate the tricky world of adult sexuality. Over the last eight years, it's done a lot of damage,not teaching our kids how to take care of themselves,Abstinence-onlyeducation simply does not work." New infections among peopleof color, especiallywonen, are on the rise in Colorado,due in part to men .as who classify themselves heterosexualhaving s€xwith other men. In Colorado,the rate of new infections in this categoryis disproportionately high, with 68 percent of new infections in this state coming from this category,while the national rate is 5Opercent. "Peoplewho don't considertheir behavior to be homosexualbut partake in risky behavior,often referred to as the 'down low', they're putting their female partners at dsk," said DebraPollock, spolrenrromanfor the Gay,Iesbian, Bisexualand Tlansgender Crnter of Denver. , Testingis alsokey to stoppingthe spreadof the disease- a step[€e encourageseveryoneto take.

"This diseaseis l0O percent preventable, It's not like breast cancer: we know where it comesfbom.The first stepis to Inow our status.This is a diseasethat we hrow how to stop," ke said. "If we can get everyoneto know their status, then we're going to stopthis disease." . Ersin Sulukioglu, president of the Auraria Gay-Straight Alliance, attendedthe World AIDSDay rally at the Capitol with other group members to make a statementabout their commihent to fighting the spread of the disease."I personally feelthat getting t€stedis an act of social responsibility and that responsibility is passedon and handed down, and that is a very por,rrcrfullegacyto leave," Snlukioglu said. Ilac'fWieczerza has heededthe warnings about the risk of HIV and chose to have herself tested for the disease."I did it becauseI rant€dto be safe.there is no sensein risking it," Wieczerzasaid. However,others at Auraria have yet to betested,often becausethey've always had protected sex and don't believe they've exposedthemselves to infection. "I haven't been tested.I don't feelI havea reasonto. I don't think I arn at risk," UCDstudentCIeo Yang said.

fi nals Apprehensionaccompanies Testanxiety common problem for many

collegestudents By DANIELWILIIAMS dmart145@mscd.edu John Kirtland is stressed. Heiust poppedtwo morepainkillers for his aching head and although he is tense,all he wants to do is go to bd. Thepot of coffeehe brewedthat he's been tlrinking all night won't help, either. But Kirtland, a junior at Metro who has one final exam this week, two more next week and an errorliee eight to 10 page paper due by noon on Dec. 12, knows he has to maldmize his study time in order to do well in his classes.

Still, the usually mellow Kirtland sayshe feelslike he basa ball of stress in his chestthat only comesduring finals week. Along with many other Metro students, Kirdand is suffering from test anxiety. Test anxiety is a psychological condition in wbich a person experiencesdisFessbefor€,during or after to such an examor other ass€ssment an extent that this anxiety caus€s poor performanceor interferes with normal learning. "We actually teach ourselvesat a young age to have test anxiety," Metro psychologyprofessorBethann Bierer said. "When we are really focusing hard and paying attention to something, we tend to breathe very shallowlv." Bierer said. "When we are

breathing very shallowly,we are not oxygenatiirgout bloodvery well. And our brain doesnot like that. " "So, when you do that over and over, every time you have a test you have these little anxiety reactions. And over yearsthat builds test anxiety. Then students start to pan!c," Bierer said. Kirtland said that preparing for his test is only half of &e problem. Evenwhen be is prepared,he still lets his nerses get in the way of a good grade.' During a test, Bierer says to rcmemberto breathedeeplyto o:rygenate your brain and calrn you down. Pre-test,shesaid it is crucial to get a goodnight'ssleepand to eatwell. "It seemslike students get anxious about all their exams,not just one examin particular. I Fy and talk

to my studentsand tell them to tiink of a final as any other test and not as a final," Metro psychologyprofessor ferry Schellengersaid. "Justthink of it as a regular exam." Schellengeradded that there is no hope for the student who slacked off all semestertrylng to come on strong at the end. If you need some help, he mentioned gorqg to one of the many tutors available on campus, Studentscan also find help at the Tutoring Center, locat€d in the Tivoli. "I like to talk to my classmatesbefore finals soI know that I am not the only one stressedout," Meho student Robyn Curtis said. "Right before a test, I like to read over my notes one last time and then iust go for it. " Preparing well for the test is the bestway to reducetest-takinganxi-

ety, according to experts at TestTbkingTip8.com. Expectsomeanxiety during your test, it's a reminder that you want to do your be3tand can provideenergy, just keepit manageable. Realize that anxiety can be a habit and that it takespractice to use it as a tool to succeed. Ttre site also advisesreading the exam directionsslowly and carefully treforebeFnning. N€lil, sHm tbrough the test so you'll have a good idea of how to pace yourself. Don't be afraid to ask questionsabout anything that is un-. clear. Finally, set two separatealanns on a day when you havea maior test. You are shessedout enough; you don't want to wake up 10 minutes beforeyour final.

Indeed, I stumbledupon the fate of thesetwo suckerswhile researchinga far more contemphous matter also based in that region of the world: it seemsthat for the bulk of rny life I hrye been unaware that there are still pirates roaning the seas commandering .

Whether l.have beeq too far en-. gagedin othe'r things, or this is all somekind of raw conspiracyagainst the youth to persuade them to remain in collegeand shun a careerin piracy,is a questi,onthat I havebeen brooding owr for about a week now b€causeI cannot seeany explainable reasonwhy a lrrson would not want to bea pirate.Meanwhile,thesehighseasbandib have managed to selze 'the another freighter somewherein Arabian Seaand are holding it ransomfor a respectable$2 million. Recently the pirates hiiacked a Saudi oil tanker, the Sirir,(sStar, which was hauling $100 million in crude oil, and they are currently holding it in the.Gulf of Aden until

the state owned national oil company, SaudiAramco, decidesto pony uP the money to get it back. Thesepeople are not dealing in chump change or petty misdemeanor.Nope, $100 million in crude oil is on the level of the Big Boys,and it takesprofessional insanity to run successfullyacmss that field. This is all very wonderful for a number of reasons. The fust is that the piratesthemselvesare said to be moatly Somali. Somalia is a counhy about the size of Texasthat has seen its share of strife,much the sarneas the maiority of countries in Africa, ever sinoethe arrogant and murderous Euopean aristooacy decidedto annex the enfire contu*t 13Oyears.ago.The So' mali peopleare poor and e4rerience frequent drought, famine, malaria, hepafitis and typhoid fever, which all conhibgte to a life qrpeetancyof lessthan $ W""t, I thtngs shodd happento.fo alwy, which they often do, there is no national legal system in Somaliaby whlch to re.solveanything.

is that the pirates take the ransom money, which they alrnost always manageto obtain, and invest it back inlo local shops, restaunants and other -busintrses in Somalia. One woman from a vitlage near the Somali ooast, where the Siriut Stdr irs 'Our being held, is quoted as saying, clrlldrin are not worrying about food now, and they go to Islamic schools in the moming and play soccerin the alterooon They are happy."

BEBETTER SPENT MONEY COULD ISDEAD, CAMPAIGN THE POINT: ,CIGARETTE

wiIIstopsmoking Pricls,notpreaching, Apparently,the cigarette is dead. Someoneneeds to inform all the peopleI have seen acrosscampus indulgingin necrophilia.Fromwhat I have seen, it appears that those sidewalk advertisementsare lying, becausecigarettesappearto be alive and kicking. This newest anti-smoking ad carnpaign- which I can only assume they came up with while getting higb off the fumes from the spray paint they used to tag the sidewalks - comesfrom the samethought pattern as the Truth Campaigns.it is simplistic in its own vanity, making the ridiculous statement that "The Cigaretteis Dead"to catchthe attention of all thosewho passby the sidewalk grafrti. The new guerilla-style marketing campaign has the samelocus as the Truth Campaign, attempting to get peopleto stop smoking with the useof fear,guilt and just plain nonsense.Example:the latest Ttuth TV ads are a combination of animation

' The websitebragsof laws passed by states,which limit r,l'herepeople can smokecigarettes.I am sure that the peoplebehind The Cigaretteis Dead would be happy to see a law passedbanning cigarettesalbogether.

"StoDitt" This newestanti- kind of thing would be expectedto

happenwith an increaseof 64 cents on cigarettes.In fact, national averagestend to fluctuate along with the prlceof cigareftes. As cigaretteprices go up, the smoking rate goesdown, andviceversa, Accordingto the National Academy of Sciences' Instituteof Medicine, "The single most direct and reliable methodfor reducingconsumptionis to increasethe price of tobaccoproducts, thus encouragingthe cessation and reducing the level of initiation of tobaccouse," includingeven the smoking rates of young adults and teenagers. Yet, these anti-smoking campaigns continue to Bet funding. What person would be influenced to quit smoking by a dancing cartoon baby?Perhapsinsteadof giving this new The Cigaretteis Dead campaign$28 million to playwith, (how much does a can of spray paint cost these days anyway?), we should look at real ways to decreasesmoking.Sincethe releaseof

the patch and gum in the early 90s there has been a steady decrease in smoking rates acrossthe United States.Maybe we should give $28 million to givepatchesand gum out to thosewho want to quit smoking. The most important part of this l,o rememberis that you can't force someoneto quit smoking.Guilt and fear do not makesomeonequit an addiction. It may hinder them for some time, or make them rethink what they are doing, but most will start smokingagain. Thesesilly, absurdand iudgmental anti-smoking campaignswill one day fatl into obscurity like Nancy Reagan'sHugs not Drugscampaign. Insteadof spendingtax dollarson another ridiculous anti-smoking campaign.we shouldlet peoplechooseon their own whether or not theyare going to smoke.If peoplechooseto stop, then we can use the $28 million in constructiveand provennays to help them stavnonsmokers.

It'smAlungs,andl'Ilfued I wantto

On a rec-enthot day in November, I was all gussiedup in fancy clothes, innocendy walking down a sidewalk in the armpit of humanity that lodo has become,when one of thosekhaki-wearing types accostedme. Stepping from the door of his still-ruming monstertruck, he noticedme and began walking in my direction with all the macho bluster he could muster, pointing a waggingfinger and shaking his head(apparentlyto signal his disapproval). Confused,I lookeddown to see nothing out of place:my fly wasshut, my fancy shoeshadn't comeuntied. I searchedin vain for a window to checkmy wig and clown nose. "Can I help you, dad?"I asked, looking again at the yuppie ahd rolling my eyes. "Hey you, take that ... that damn cancer thing somewhere else," he started. "Colorado law says there's no smoking near the entrance of a workplace.As you can see.thereisn't a placeon this sidewalkoutsidesucha distance,sotakeit elsewhere,buddyl" Now,call me an angry old coot- I rememberthinking it was fair when nonsmoking sectionsin restaurants beg,anto sweepthe nation - but I am tired of watching my rights be taken away by SUVdriving, pharmaceutical-surallowing, diet soda-drinking teetotalers. Regulation on smoking has gonetoo far and Auraria extending its no-smokingzonefive morefeet is another erosionof our rights. The nons will neverbesatisfiedl The current thinking is that nearly 2O percentof America still smokes cigaretbes:that is one in fi!€ to you and mo. 'Wo have the'nr:mbersto be

No needto make excuses:don't buy the ideafor a secondthat only recently we discoveredhow unhealthy smokingis. Humanshaveunderstood that death resultedfrom smokeinhalation sincewe stoppedrunning from fire. Canyou evenimaginehow many 'trys' it took to figure fire out? The carnage was surely extensive.And yel smokinghas beenaround since FLOHR-SPENCE ANDREW humans beganrubbing stickstogether. spencand@mscd.edu Now why would we do that? Personally,smoking gives me a a political contender.We cross lines momentof my own or a momentwith of gender,religion, language,nation, companions. It is consoling when whathaveyou.And yet, smokersusu- you are alone, and socialwhen with friendsor evencompletestrangers.It allyjust shrugandsaysorry This poor fool had nagged the is my ritual, sending a thin twisting wrong smoker.He caught me with line from this world to the next. And in return, it ta.kesa few years my danderin an exceptionalstate, "Really?"I askedin the sarcas- at the end and complicates every tic parlance of the day. "OK, Mr. other health condition I ever face.It Straight-edgeHitler-youth Daddy-o, robsme sometimesof preciousair.
