2 Wednesday, November 13,1996 GPSF Senate meeting ends early; changes to treasury laws up in air BY LEAH HANEY STAFF WRITER The Graduate and Professional Stu dent Federation Senate adjourned its Tuesday night meeting without voting on changes to the currently inoperable treasury laws because only 27 of the 29 members needed to vote were present at voting time. After about an hour and one-half of debate over specific changes to the trea sury laws, members decided to adjourn the meeting, realizing they did not have the necessary number of senators for vot ing on the changes. Thirty-six senators were present at the start of the meeting. Katherine Kraft, president of GPSF, said fiscal mismanagement over the past two years had made it impossible to allo cate GPSF funds as the laws currently require because the money is not avail able. “We simply can’t allow fiscal irre sponsibility endemic to the current trea sury laws,” Kraft said. “Regardless of how the senate feels, it cannot stay the same.

The current treasury laws allow the senate to allocate $3 per graduate and professional student, $75 per department with 25 or fewer students and $4,000 for special projects. The GPSF’s money comes from 25 percent of all graduate and professional student fees. Because of the previous mismanage ment, theGPSF doesnothavethatmuch money. The amount available for allocation will have to be reduced. The laws must also be changed to ensure responsible management of money in the future, Kraft said. “We have to implement controls, guidelines and checks because we want to be a responsible organization that is allowed to exist,” Kraft said. Chandra Guinn, speaker of the sen ate, urged members to discuss problems before the meeting in the future, so drawn out discussion would not take place next time and cause members to leave early. “We’ve been talking about this since April. I caution you against going an other month without doing anything," Guinn said. No funds can be allocated until the senate votes on the laws, which cannot take place before its next meeting Dec. 3.

NEWS Rural AIDS cases concern to doctors BY WHITNEY MOORE STAFF WRITER Slowing the spread of HIV infection is a daunting task in the Southern United States, where the rate of infection is al most five times higher than the national average. But an even loftier goal, particularly in North Carolina, is to provide adequate health care for those already infected. Dr. Allison Heald, an associate in medicine at Duke’s infectious diseases division, said better is a necessity. “Right now, care for most rural pa tients in North Carolina is very frag mented,” she said. That’s why medical centers at UNC- Chapel Hill, East Carolina University and Duke University announced Mon day a joint effort to help AIDS patients in eastern North Carolina obtain more efficient health care, said Dr. Kate Whetten-Goldstein, an assistant research professor at Duke’s Center for Health Policy Research and Education. Whetten-Goldstein, director of the project, said the effort would combine resources at the university hospitals and in the various counties with a five-year, $2 million grant to provide better overall benefits to Medicaid patients. More than 1,000 AIDS patients at UNC Hospitals will benefit from the project, said Dr. Joseph Eron, director of UNC’s Infectious Disease clinic. “The idea of the grant is to take people who are very needy and coordinate ser vices for them,” he said. “(The project) will give people who are HIV-positive a GRAND OPENING^ CATALOG CLOTHES YOU LOVE, PRICES YOU CAN AFFORD! / \ I HELD JACKETS MEN’S AND WOMEN’S WITH QIZI) QC 8 _ BUTTON-OUT WOOL LINING yUwiUV | Mm (CATALOGPRICESI2O) Sjajf \® ” University Mall • (Next To Kerr Drug) 968-9969 ... ..n, i...........1...

Each county will have a manager who distributes in formation about area doctors who treat HIV-positive or AIDS patients. Patients will have a case coordinator who will ensure that the university hospi tals and local providers work together effectively. The case coordinator will also help patients with Medicaid, housing and transportation to medical appointments. “It’s very needed in North Carolina, and it’s the first project in America to try to combine social services and health care,” Whetten-Goldstein said. She added that more people would obtain medical attention under this plan. “Confidentiality in rural areas is a terrible problem,” she said.

The focus on eastern North Carolina as the area in which the study would operate came as a result of the influx of AIDS and HTV-positive patients. “We do have a fairly dramatic impact of AIDS in our eastern rural areas,” said Delbert Williams, head of epidemiology and special studies within the HIV/STD section of the N.C. Department of Envi ronment, Health andNatural Resources. “It will provide them with better care, even in rural areas.” For the Record The Nov. 12 article, 'Panelists say privatization requires balancing act,' should have identified the director of the John Locke Foundation as John Hood.
