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.
