Test Prep, Admissions and Guidance. For life. AIDS continued from page 1A groups, which usually include peo ple who engage in risky behavior. Risky behavior includes having unprotected sex with multiple part ners and sharing needles through intravenous drug use. For some, it is too embarrassing to admit they are putting themselves in danger of contracting the virus, and therefore, they don’t get tested. HIV Alliance executive director Diane Lang Brissenden, who has been with the alliance for five months, said free, confidential test ing is one of the most important services provided. Sometimes, however, convincing those who fall into the “high risk” category to get tested can be difficult. “Providing HIV education is easi er because you can directly talk to a group of people,” Brissenden said. “Prevention and testing, however, require being out there with the population and trying to make them aware of their risky behavior. ” That’s why HIV Alliance offers a location where the Lane County Public Health Department can con duct confidential testing. “To go to a family doctor and say you’re engag ing in risky behavior is just too hard for some,” Brissenden said. Marc Miller, an HTV prevention specialist for Lane County Public Health, said the department pro vides HIV testing at its own agency as well as at the HTV Alliance. Miller said Lane County Public Health also provides treatment and community outreach programs for HIV and AIDS patients.Other agen cies that provide HIV testing in clude the White Bird Clinic, Planned Parenthood, and the organ ization New Roads, which tests through its Looking Glass program. Looking Glass deals specifically with high-risk adolescents. Other prevention services the HIV Alliance provides include a needle exchange, where intra venous drug users can exchange their used needles for clean ones. The exchange is an effort to get in fected needles off the street and lower the number of pediatric AIDS cases, which include babies born with the virus. There is also a Latino Outreach project, which is the first program offered in Spanish.Past World AIDS Day events in Eugene were intended solely for HIV vic tims and their friends and relatives, but this year’s event will be open to the public, Habetler said. The HIV Alliance’s event will be held in the Hult Center Lobby from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will include several speak ers, including Brissenden and Cas cade AIDS Project Volunteer Coor dinator Rose Colbom. Colborn will be focusing on the global AIDS problem and referring to her outreach experience in Rus sia. Brissenden will be focusing on the local AIDS problem. A state ment made by U.S. Rep. Peter De Fazio, D-Eugene, will also be read. After the speakers, the ceremony will move outside for a candle light ing and a reading of the names of Events for World AIDS Day • The HIV Alliance will be hosting a free event at the Hult Center, locat ed at Seventh Street and Willamette Street, from 5 p.m, to 7 p.m.The event will include speakersand a reading of names of those who have died of AIDS and HIV.

Students from Roosevelt Mid dle School will be ringing bells be fore the names are read. The HTV Alliance doesn’t get a list of names to read, but rather takes names that are sent to them from the community. The Lane County Public Health Department has created a display of past World AIDS Day posters in the Public Service Building, located at 125 E. 8th Ave. in Eugene. It will be open for public viewing through December. Election continued from page 1A fronts to slow the process, knowing that electors must be named to the Electoral College by Dec. 12. Judge Sauls gave officials of Mia mi-Dade and Palm Beach counties until 5 p.m. Friday to complete the ballot transfer, rejecting Gore’s re quest to have the disputed ballots that the vice president wants re counted shipped earlier to save time. Palm Beach said it could ship all its ballots on Thursday. Behind closed doors in Washing ton, both sides’ lawyers worked to prepare for arguments Friday before the U.S. Supreme Court. After hours of debate by advisers Tuesday night and Wednesday, Gore authorized the appeal to the Florida Supreme Court that would ask the justices to order the imme diate recounting of disputed ballots. Democratic officials said their ap peal would ask the high court to ei ther supervise and direct the count ing of ballots itself or order Sauls to begin doing so immediately. The Democrats hope there will be enough additional Gore votes to overcome Bush’s slim lead. In appealing directly to the Flori da high court, Gore returns to the venue that gave him one of his biggest victories in his uphill battle to win the presidency through the courts.Earlier this month, the offi cially nonpartisan seven state jus tices, all selected by Democrats, overruled Florida’s Republican sec retary of state and allowed manual recounting in a few counties to con tinue for 12 days beyond the origi nal deadline. That extra tallying brought Gore to within 537 votes of his Republican rival. Democrats also maneuvered in two other Florida counties that lean Republican where election officials have acknowledged they allowed absentee ballots to be amended. In Martin County, election super visor Peggy Robbins said she had given permission for a Republican Party official to remove from her of fice “several hundred” incomplete absentee ballot applications sent by GOP voters. The official returned them filled out with corrected voter identification numbers and other information, said Robbins, a Re publican. In a similar case in Seminole County, a Democratic supporter has sued over the GOP handling of ab sentee ballot applications. Terry Young, the attorney for the Seminole County election supervi sor, suggested he might want to question Gore as part of the litiga tion and asked why Democrats were trying to throw out some 15,000 ballots after arguing every ballot in the state needed to be counted. “Isn’t that contrary to what Al Gore said the other night about every vote should count? In this case, they’re trying to silence democracy,” Young said. Gore replied on CNN: “If the bal lots for one party were illegally changed and fixed, and the ballots from the other party that didn’t have that information were rejected and thrown away, that doesn’t seem fair to me.” Senate continued from page 1A Sen. Serene Khader moved to ap prove the request by saying the Senate had already set a precedent by approving the other two bench marks. “Of the three [committees], pro gramming is the most important to me,” she said. The ADFC’s request of a 5 per cent increase passed unanimously by the senators, but the ADFC and the athletic department have not completely agreed on that number. The athletic department was ask ing for an additional $131,000 this year — a 12 percent increase. With a 5 percent increase in the ADFC’s budget, it will get about $52,000 more, which leaves about $80,000 the Senate must supply in order to meet their demands. To keep the money from coming out of the incidental fee, Greenough said, the Senate is searching for oth er resources to offset the cost. Op tions discussed have been setting aside a number of season tickets in the front rows that students can purchase, or making students pay for pre-season games. In other business, Sen. Lindsey McLean resigned from her position because she is leaving the Universi ty Oregon Daily Emerald P.O.
