Seminar addresses AIDS issue By Kelvin Wee (K I Ho Fm«f«!d The filth annual Wendell Webb Seminar was held on campus last weekend. Spon sored by the School of Jour nalism. the seminar focused on news coverage of the AIDS public health crisis. Attending the two-day seminar were eighteen ex perienced editors and reporters from newspapers in Oregon and Washington Kartdal Ileum, a University journalism pro fessor. directed this year's seminar. "The School of Journalism puts on the seminar every sum mer on some issue of public in terest," Beam said, "and AIDS was chosen because it is an im portant subject and is in the news a lot this year " "The goals of these seminars are to Ire a mid-career education experience for reporters and editors from around Oregon primarily; although there were? s o m e attending I r o in Washington state,” Beam added. "I feel that the coverage on AIDS in the Northwest has been pretty fair in the past, and this was a good chance for the speakers to offer suggestions for the kinds of stories they would like to s«b more on," Noam explained. Beam added that the two thing* that stuck in hi* mind most were the concern about the appropriate use of the HIV an libody test and the lack of infor mation that AIDS cannot be contracted by casual contact. Panel members included representatives from the Oregon Health Division, lame County Health Division. Willamette AIDS Council. Shantl in Oregon. Eugene School District. Glide School District. Oregon Health Scienc es University, the Bureau of labor and Industries and the American Civil Liber ties Union Cave Cannady, a disease in tervention specialist from the lane County Health Division, believed the seminar was a success. "I enjoyed it very much as a panelist. I got to meet some of the journalists I have known in the' past and also many others I may have to work with in the future." Cannady said. "The question of appropriate terminology to be used when classifying people with AIDS was brought up My concern is that the media continuously labels them as 'AIDS patients' or 'AIDS victims' which they arc* not. The appropriate ter minology in this cast’ is ‘‘Person With AIDS,” Cannady said The Willamette AIDS Council was represented by Nora Glenn and |im Clay Clay, who is a founding member of the Willamette AIDS Council, said the seminar was "an incredible success.” Clay, who spoke primarily on the concerns of the male homosexual community and AIDS, said, "After shaking to the journalists I learned that none of the reporting (on AIDS and the 'relationship' with the gay community) is intended to he biased, but is a result of the lack, of information and understanding about the gay community. Nora Glenn, coordinator of the Speakers Bureau of the Willamette AIDS Council, felt that the attending journalists were very receptive to new’ ideas. "I felt it went very well, and (I) was very impressed with the interaction between panel members ami the fh»or." Glenn said. "A major concern w'as how’ to address the issue without necessarily creating too much unrest in the community." Glenn added. General espouses need for new war technology By John Carlson Of tbe Km*r«ld Saying lhat "space is no longer experimental," U.S. Air Force Major (General G. Wesley Clark emphasized (he need to rely on technology in dealing with the Soviet Union in a speech at the Black Angus restaurant Monday. Clark is the deputy chief of staff and plans for the U.S. Air Force Space Command in Colorado Springs. Colo. Formed in H»K5, the U.S. Space Command coordinates space systems for the U.S. military throughout the world. According to Ernest Ross. Defense Education Commit tee member, the Space Com mand is not directly related to the Strategic Defense In itiative. or “Star Wars.” Clark contends that “our primary opponent (the Soviet Union) is not only more numerous, but in a bet ter geographical position.” Because of this, he believes we must utilize our technological advantage over the Soviets. “We seem to adapt better to new technology than the Soviet Union.” (’lark said. Clark gave some historical examples of the progression to more effective weapons and said change has always been technologically driven. "Today we experience change at faster rates — since there's no stopping it. we must cope with it,” Clark said. He spoke of the military’s increasing reliance on space systems, citing the fact over two-thirds of all long distance military com munications are through satellites. Clark cited the example of the Japanese attack on Pearl I larbor to support his conten tion space must be used for early warning systems. Because strategic warning systems are fundamental to deterrence. Clark said Pearl Harbor never might have happened had we had the use of such systems in space.
