Nebraska’s AIDS count triples
Redefinition helps
to add 120 cases
By Marcia Verley
Staff Reporter
AIDS cases in Nebraska have tri
pled during the last year, in part be
cause of an expanded definition of the
disease./
According to Nebraska Department
of Health reports, five acquired im
mune deficiency syndrome cases add
ed in December brought the 1993 year
end total to 180, compared to 60 the
previous year.
Marla Augustine, public informa
tion officer for the state health depart
ment, said the decision to expand the
definition was made to track AIDS
cases more accurately.
“The reason the Federal Center for
Disease Control changed the defini
tion was to more accurately reflect the
number ot people who are suirenng
from AIDS-related illnesses,” she said.
The new definition added certain
diseases, such as pulmonary tubercu
losis, invasive cervical cancer, recur
rent pneumonia and a low CD4, a
particular type of immune cell count,
to the conditions considered in deter
mining a reportable diagnosis of AIDS.
The change in definition has result
ed in these state trends:
• The percentage of people in their
20s diagnosed with AIDS rose to 32
percent, up from 22 percent in 1992.
• The percentage of females with
AIDS rose, from 2 percent in 1992 to
15 percent in 1993.
• Cases reported among members
of minority groups rose from 16 per
cent in 1992 to 26 percent in 1993.
• Cases reporting risk from hetero
sexual contact increased to 8 percent
in 1993, compared to 3 percent in
1992.
These trends are helpful in deter
mining where most new AIDS cases
are snowing up, Augustine said.
“These increases are showing us
what groups we need to reach in order
to try and stop the spread of HIV,” she
said.
Augustine said the expanded defi
nition of AIDS was the main force
behind the rise in cases.
‘Two-thirds of last year’s cases
were those that met the new defini
tion, and this amounted to a larger
number of cases than before,’’ sne
said.
The increase in the number of cases
has not made a significant change in
the public perception of the disease,
Augustine said, but it has raised pub
lic awareness.
“I think people are more aware that
there are a lot more HIV-infected peo
ple out there,” she said.
A breakdown of 1993 AIDS cases
showed eastern Nebraska as having
the highest number of new cases with
155, followed by central Nebraska
with 19 and western Nebraska with 6.
NU stadium to get big picture
By Amie Haggar
Staff Reporter
Comhusker football will encoun
ter a new element of excitement when
a sound system and video screens are
installed in Memorial Stadium.
The NU Board of Regents approved
a proposal to install video screens in
the University of Nebraska stadium.
The two screens will cost no more
than $4.5 million, Athletic Director
Bill Byrne said. The cost of the project
includes new equipment and a pro
duction studio.
Byrne said the university was un
certain about the final cost because the
athletic department was getting bids
on the screens.
Dave Finn, athletic department vid
eo coordinator, said because funding
depended on sources outside of UNL’s
budget, no definite dates for installing
the systems had been set.
“We would like to do it next sea
son, but that’s pretty variable right
now,” he said.
Finn said the screens would face
each other in the stadium, with one in
the southeast comer and one in the
northwest comer where a scoreboard
now stands.
Because the screens wit! be used
for promotional purposes as well as
instant replay, Byrne said the univer
sity needed to comply with the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa
tion’s rules for advertising.
“The NCAA restricts our ads,” he
said. “No tobacco, alcohol or femi
nine products can be advertised.”
Finn said once the screens were
installed, the university planned to
have UNL College of Journalism and
Mass Communications students work
in the production studio.
“Our informal discussions are that
we would like to utilize the students
for internships in the studio,” he said.
However, because the project is
not in its final stages, Finn said it was
difficult to plan every aspect.
“We have to jump the big hurdle
first,” he said. “We need to get the
funding to make sure this is a reality,
then we’ll begin planning for the work
ing stages of it.”
Although student ticket sales for
UNL football games have decreased
in recent years, Byrne said the new
screens might entice some students
back to the games.
“There will be more attraction to
the games,” he said.
CFA denies UPC’s full budget request
By Jody Holzworth
Staff Reporter
The Committee for Fees Alloca
tion denied the University Program
Council’s budget
request Thursday
night.
UPC requested a
four percent bud
fet increase last
uesday and end
ed up with a one
percent increase
in student fees. The motion passed by
a vote of 8-2.
Shawntell Hurtgen, CFA chairman,
said UPC did not need the entire in
crease because it has money left over
from last year.
UPC asked for the increase to bring
in bigger speakers, along with the
small lectures and concerts it normal
ly provides.
CFA Vice Chairman John Barrett
voted against the motion..
“I don’t want the UPC to get in the
position that they have to charge stu
dents more,” Barrett said.
Although everyone wants the big
concerts, Barrett said, the small activ
ities that only 50 to 100 students at
tend were just as important. He said he
did not want fewer small lectures be
cause of the denied increase.
“I don’t want to punish them for
not spending the extra money they had
left over from last year,” Barrett said.
The approved one percent increase
for UPC will go toward Homecoming
and the Lied Center for Performing
Arts.
UPC, as well as the Daily Nebras
kan and the Associated Students of the
University of Nebraska, will have an
opportunity to appeal the CFA’s deci
sions on Tuesday.
