The campus honor soci
ety, Phi Theta Kappa, will join
with other community college
chapters nationwide and the
Ryan White Foundation in a
two-year international service
project for AIDS awareness,
called “C.U.E. — Compassion,
Understanding and Educa
tion.”
As a young AIDS victim,
Ryan White’s struggle with
the disease and the attitudes
surrounding it gained him na
tional attention. The Ryan
White Foundation was estab
lished by his mother Jeanne
following his death 1990;
Ryan was 19 years old. The
Foundation’s purpose is to
provide AIDS education for
young people and collect
funds to support AIDS re
search.
To help in this collabora
tive effort, the Alpha Xi Zeta
chapter of Phi Theta Kappa
will conduct a photography
contest observing the theme
“Picture Compassion.”
To enter, photographers
may submit black-and-white
or color prints and pay a $3
fee per photo. Each contes
tant may submit no more than
four photographs. Only ama
teur photographers may com
plete.
Prizes will be awarded to

smaller dose is required to
propagate the disease’s char
acteristics and make the per
son unwell. In other words,
you may become allergic and
asthmatic to one of these
molds only after you been ex
posed to it.”
Several staff members were
concerned about the original
reports from the previous
physician last fall, and those
questions were addressed by
Carol Patterson from Plant
Services.
“We didn’t have a medical
doctor of record at that point
because we didn’t know where
we were going with this. Dr.
Emil Bardano’s instructions to
you were very generic. He did
not want to have one-on-one
contact. That was not our re
lationship with him. It was a
very generic relationship. I
think he lived up to what we
asked of him,” said Patterson.
She went on to say the re
lationship was temporary
while the college searched for
a physician of record who had
experience in this type of situ
ation.
Although no date has
been set, remediation will in
volve careful and painstaking
cleanup. The cleaning will
actually removè the particles
from the buildings since Dr.
Jarvis opposes the use of
chemicals in killing off the liv
ing mold organisms. The use
of chemicals, he states, would
present a whole new problem
of sensitivity for some people.
By ridding the buildings of
the carbon and water sources,
which proliferates mold, the
main reasons mold is growing
will no longer exist according
to Dr. Jarvis.
This is done by using HEPA
vacuum cleaners designed to
pick up very, very fine par
ticles. Sometimes it is neces
sary to vacuum at least three
times over the same spot, test
ing after each session. This is
a time-consuming process but
can be accomplished.
“One of achievements for
which I am best known is the
ten-story courthouse in
Florida where we HEPA vacu
umed every square inch of that
building, from the very top
floor down to the basement,”
Dr. Jarvis said.
In order to accomplish the
remediation, the college has
put together a team of profes
sionals, including Clayton En
vironmental Consultants,
CH2M Hill, Attorney Leslie
King-ONeal, Williams Building
Diagnostics and Dr. Jarvis,
who injects a medical perspec
tive on the environmental in
formation
provided
by
Clayton.
At this point, the amount
of time or work involved in
solving the existing water in
trusion and mold problems is
unknown. Dr. Jarvis needs to
review to the existing data as
well as data currently becom
ing available.
“I think at least eight weeks
is a reasonable time [frame],’.’
said Kirk Pearson about when
the college could expect to
hear about some early recom
mendations from Dr. Jarvis.
“This is not your straight
forward, easy construction
project,” said Pearson.
According to Dr. Jarvis,
those, who feel they are expe
riencing any allergic-type
symptoms should consult
their personal physicians.
