6 MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2005 AIDS FROM PAGE 3 One important measure in the fight against AIDS is the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act. Established in 1990, the act pro vides money for research and edu cation as well as to health care pro viders to enable them to help those with AIDS receive proper medical treatment when they cannot afford it themselves. The act expired in September, and Congress has yet to renew it. “It’s essentially under consider ation now,” said Brenda Daugherty, project administrator of the Jemsek Project. “There’s been a big push within the last few months. We’ve done a lot of letter writing.” She said she hopes the act is reinstated in full but is concerned about possible changes. ARABIC FROM PAGE 3 Prior to Yaqub’s arrival at UNC, Arabic was offered irregularly, she said. About 25 students studied the language during her first semester. Now about 90 students are enrolled in Arabic language cours es, said Yaqub, who hopes to see continued growth with the pos THE Daily Crossword By Stanley B.

Let’s face it... college students are not the best role models when it comes to healthy eating. This is unfortunate considering the relationship between diet and health. The 2005 dietary guidelines encourage 2 cups of fruit and 2 !/ 2 cups of vegetables per day for a 2000 calorie diet. That’s 4 servings of fruit and at least 5 servings of vegetables! We are also advised to frequently opt for whole grains. What about students who rely on “dorm cooked” food when going to a restaurant or the dining hall isn’t an option? Is it really possible to eat this way? YES, with these simple options: __ • Pierce a sweet potato and bake in the microwave for 6 minutes or until done. Balance with a protein source such as BI , canned tuna, wild pink salmon or flaked chicken breast. • Toss fresh spinach with canned mandarin oranges and chopped walnuts. Drizzle with your favorite oil and vinegar dressing and call it lunch.. .or dinner. • Zap a veggie burger and serve on whole grain bread. Open a can of spinach or carrots to balance out the meal. • Spread pizza or spaghetti sauce onto a split whole wheat English muffin. Top with shredded part skim mozzarella cheese. Bake in dorm kitchen oven until cheese melts and muffin is / " crisp. Add veggies such as sliced peppers and onions. i '-*> / • Go for the tasty simplicity of natural peanut butter on whole 'Z" For more healthy eating ideas, or for a free nutrition evaluation, contact the Center for Healthy Student Behaviors at 962-9355.

The Ryan White CARE Act is pivotal in North Carolina where the AIDS demographic is chang ing, Jemsek said, citing the recent emergence of female and hetero sexual cases. “The face of AIDS is changing, just like it changed when Ryan White was infected,” he said. Jemsek said North Carolina has much to be thankful for in its uni versity hospitals and their contri butions to AIDS research. “I tip my hat to people at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and to Duke, and to Winston-Salem for all the fine work they’ve done,” he said. “North Carolina should be proud.” Contact the State Cf National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. sible addition of a fourth Arabic professor next fall.

She doesn’t see University-relat ed debates slowing any time soon, but she thinks administrators have learned the scope of their relations with the town through projects such as the chiller plant, across from Cobb Residence Hall. “With the chiller plant, I think we ended up with a project that everyone could live with,” she said. “University officials learned a lot there. They’re finally understanding the depth of some of the animosity between the University and the town.” That understanding will be cru cial during the next council cycle, Verkerk said, pointing to discussions (C)2005 Tribune Media Services, Inc.

Verkerk, who often addressed energy and environmental con cerns during her council tenure, cited the University’s willingness to go along with the town’s carbon reduction program, as evidence of a strengthening bond. “When UNC agreed to partici pate in (the program), that was huge,” she said. Her efforts haven’t been lim ited to the University she also fought for the town to lease out rather than sell the land selected BLACKBERRYS FROM PAGE 3 Blackßerry service could be a huge inconvenience for the millions of subscribers worldwide, who use the device on a regular basis. “For many people, they’ve become an essential part of how we do busi ness,” said Howes, who added that he mainly uses his Blackßerry to keep up with his e-mail when he is in meetings or on the road. “I got along very well without it GOT BOOKS?

We didn’t need to sell that town land.” Wiggins said she has concerns about fundamental council person ality issues arising in the future. “In my opinion, today we have fewer independent candidates,” she said. “We’ve gone more to what real ly is almost party representation.” Verkerk hopes the example she and Wiggins set will be replicated before... but it does make my work more efficient,” he said. Still, many believe that Blackßerrys have had negative effects for users, especially those who have a hard time getting away from their work. Alan Konell, a Chapel Hill thera pist and author of “Partnership Tools: Transforming the Way We Live Together,” said universities notoriously are filled with workahol ics, and that Blackßerrys can make the boundary between work and (Eljp My (Ear MM JWik M % DTH/FEILDING CAGE once they leave their seats behind. “When Edith and I came on board together, we were very wary of each other,” she said. “But once we came out of our comers, I had a good friend.” For now, the council mem bers both said they are keeping their calendars open especially Mondays, Wiggins joked. “My plan now is to see what it feels like on Monday night to be out of council meetings for a change.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu. home more difficult to distinguish. “Blackßerry gets rid of the use ful anchor that going home used to be,” he said. “All inhales and no exhales is not good.” Jerry Lucido, vice provost for enrollment policy and management, said a vacation from Blackßerrys might keep administrators from being consumed by work. “As we’re walking through McCorkle Place or Polk Place, we might actually see the trees instead of preparing for the next meeting.” Lucido added that the worst part about the devices is when they buzz during a meeting. “It has the potential of being addictive and makes us less atten tive to one another,” he said. “You’re trading off personal time —some thinking, reflective time for some linear productivity.” Still, Lucido said he feels no nos talgia about the way he had to work before Blackßerrys came around. “I think it has actually helped me do what I have to do.” But Howes said he felt lib erated when he turned off his Blackßerry. “I did not use it over Thanksgiving weekend, and I didn’t miss it.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
