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

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.
