A recent study by the University of North Carolina's School of Journalism and Mass Communication [suggests] nearly two-thirds of those surveyed would allow children diagnosed with AIDS to attend school with other children.
Kathy Kerr, health educator with the AIDS Control Program of the North Carolina Division of Health Services said it is encouraging to hear more than half those surveyed respond positively.
"More and more people are recognizing that AIDS is not transmitted casually," Kerr added. "You certainly don't get AIDS by sitting next to someone in class."
Only 23 percent of the North Carolinians surveyed said AIDS children should not be allowed to attend school with others. 13 percent did not answer. The margin of error is four percentage points.

More than 23,000 students are enrolled at Washington State University, nearly doubling or more the enrollment of all other major universities and colleges aside from Western Washington University, 14,000, and the University of Washington, 39,000. In all fields of crime, WSU does not lead statistically. However, the university maintains a close relationship in frequency to the University of Washington, a school commonly referred to as Gotham. Most likely due the respective high enrollments of each university is the relationship more similar than others. The only category of crime which was cited more commonly at WSU was forcible rape. There were no offenses of murder and robbery throughout the year at WSU.

OSCAR
The eyes of more than a thousand watched him. He, a grizzled veteran of seven years, hugged the inside lane never breaking stride. And in just two seconds, he won.

-it is. to have someone to start thinking about the mind and consciousness is uber abstract. what better way to engage someone into the topic than by talking about sharks, one of the most-fear inducing creatures in the world. they even have their own week on tv.

Police have intensified their search for a 4-year-old girl who has been missing since yesterday.
Police have knocked on every door within a six-block area of the Norton household asking if neighbors have seen the missing child, Angela Melissa Norton. She was last seen wearing pajamas with Mickey Mouse images printed on them. She has light brown curly hair.
Maria L. Norton, the mother, issued a statement outside her home to reporters.
She said, "We are begging anyone who might have seen our daughter to please call the police or us. She has never been away from home without us, and we are certain that she must be terrified not to be in her own home. Please, anyone who has information, please let us know."

[Under] the vision and goals of experienced advisors, this week, the International Students’ Council and ASWSU kicks off International Education Week.
International Center Coordinator Chad M. Goeden and Dan Maher, the Coordinator for Student and Organizational Development have [led behind the scenes to produce this weeks events.]
Goeden arrived this year at WSU after several years at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay campus. He is optimistic [IEW] can start a conversation.
“Maybe what this week will do is open up eyes and say maybe this is something I’m interested in,” said Goeden.
IEW typically starts with a keynote speaker to unify the week [under] a theme. Naomi Tutu, this [years] keynote speaker, [spoke] along the theme of, [“The differences that color life.”] Tutu is the daughter of Desmond Tutu, founder of the Tutu Foundation, which from 1985 to 1990, aided South African refugees. Tutu carries on the mission of peace and human rights that her father started, Goeden said. This week is about cultural competency, Goeden said. He [talks about] a world that is becoming increasingly globalized and international.
“We can hope that people will discuss [what Naomi talks about, that it] can spark a discussion,” said Goeden. Talking can raise questions. If things progress, the next step is active engagement, Goeden said.
[If Goeden is the [youthful enthusiast] leading the IEW, Maher is his [moderate counterpart.] For 27 years, Maher has worked at WSU year after year advising the International Students Council and coordinating events such as the IEW. His role this year centers on logistics and practicalities. Maher sees himself as a coach.
“My goal is to help students meet their goals,” said Maher.
Progress can be tough however. [Upperclassmen] normally take [on] leadership roles, making continuity difficult, Goeden said. Still, a lack of continuity does not stop Maher from his mission. There is a certain fulfillment that goes both ways, Maher said. What the student body does with the week is a question of how people apply it, Maher said. He asks though if it is time to change the week from a social to substantive event.
“Is it time to approach things on a more substantive level[,]” said Maher. “The deeper [people] get, it can get scary, even if [its] positive.”
[Yet,] he gets to see people succeed, [Maher said]
“Its not frustrating for me,” says Goeden.
He gets to see people succeed.
I get to work with people who’ve had different cultural experiences. We’re all working toward a common experience. No one says that was a nightmare. We were a part of this.
