:eTHE OFFICIAL STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF NSU'sFARQUHAR CENTER FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

In This Issue Students Choose New Constitutiona certain constituency. Each studenthas at least one Senator, and mayvote for only those Senators that rep­resent his or her constituency. Theconstituencies are as follows (thenumber in parenthesis indicates thenumber of Senators for that popula­tion): Freshman (2), International(2), Minority (2), Inter OrganizationCouncil (1), Nontraditional (1),Resi­dential (1), Commuter (3), Athletic(2), Interfraternity (1), "NSU Rec­ognized Sorority" (1). The VP ofLegislative Affairs also sits on theSenate and acts as chair and presid­ing officer. The VP only votes incase of a tie in the Senate.

So what does this allmean? Simply, findout who your Sena­tors are, and whenvoting occurs, vote

for one. Then, whenyou have a problem, go to yourSenator - he or she is there torepresent you and your peers.Ask what happens at Senatemeetings - they are represent­ing your voice. What else canyou do? Attend Senate meetings,ask your Senator when they are.

One change for the JudicialBranch is in the "Verdict andJudgment" section of the Consti­tution. The change requires a 2/3 vote of the High Court of Im­peachment to have a finding ofguilty. The Court can then sen-.tence, "sanctions up to and in­cluding removal from office and

permanent disqualification" fromfurther office holding.

This marks the first time .in ayearlong battle that the administra­tion and the students have both ap­proved of the new structure of theSGA. From here, we can continu-

.ally refine it and change it as neces­sary. Got an idea...write your Sena­tor.

the administration and the students.If you have a concern that needs tobe administratively handled, whetherit is academic, extra-curricular, or co­curricular the NSUSGA is there toserve you.

The new Constitution gives thestudents more representation in theNSUSGA.

The government is now officiallydivided into three separate branches:executive, legislative, and judicial.

The executive branch is com­posed ofPresident, Vice President ofLegislation, Vice President of Judi­ciary, Treasurer, Secretary, PublicRelations Director, and Campus En­tertainment Director.

The top threepositions run on a "ticket" system tobe elected in March. The remainingpositions are appointed by theelected three and confirmed throughthe Senate by an application and in­terview process in April.

The Senate is elected by the stu­dent body. Each Senator represents

The ballots are in and the resultsare definitive. Ofthe about 900 stu­dents who qualified to vote on theNSUSGA (Nova Southeastern Un­dergraduate Student GovernmentAssociation) Constitution, 142 de­cided the future of the SGA. 130students voted in favor of the newConstitution, with 12 opposing.

Student government members,during the three days ofvoting, Feb­ruary 16th to the 18th, did everythingin their power t6 get students to makean informed decision and vote on theConstitution.

Copies of the Constitution,with recent changes highlighted,were available at the voting sta­tion outside the Parker Build­ing. Additionally, students weregiven space to write in why theyvoted the way they did, allow­ing .for a true expression of thevoters' feelings.

Due to a scheduling problemon Tuesday, the voting stationwas open for only 50 minutes.To make up for this error, vot­ing was extended to Thursday.At press time, no one had votedon Thursday despite knowledgeof the facility being open.

Alyson Dion,Vice President of Ju­diciary, who wasavailable to answerquestions conerningthe Constitution, could beseen from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.on Monday and Wednesday said,"I'm glad we got such a good turn­out, but there still could have beenmore participation."

So what does this ratificationmean to the students?

On behalfofDelta Phi Epsilon Sorority and Theta Delta Chi Frater­nity, I would like to apologize to the student body at Nova SoutheasternUniversity. On February 7, 1998, Velvety Valentine IV was supposed tobe a huge success, as it was in the past. This party has been a traditionon this campus since the Greek system was implemented on campus.Although it has always been open to all students on campus and evenI, ,I people off campus, this

Nova Southeastern University's Wellness Center's Dating Game hasbecome a fun filled tradition during National Condom Awareness Week.On Friday, February 13, the Dating Game took place from 11 :30 a.m.to 12:30 p.m. in the Rosenthal Building. The game involves one indi­vidual asking questions that might give answers that appeal to -his or herinterests. The individual asking questions, has no idea who is answer­ing the questions except by "Bachelor number one, two, and three." Heor she asks a series of questions to each Bachelor and at the end of thequestions he or she picks which Bachelor he or she wants. The matchmight not always turn out to be the best, but two years ago, it broughttwo people together who ended up being soul mates. Reagan Hughesand Matt Bennett participated in the dating game February 1996 andsince then, they have been together and will get marry in October ofthis year! So can these dreams corne true for Helena Iouanna and PatrickLeoard, Carrie Hall and Rafael Ayar, Craig Goodman and Kim Carlson,and Louis Gittens and Ashley Hicks? Time will only tell! Until then,the Wellness Center started off the process with giving each couple a$50.00 gift certificate to the Maccaroni Grill. A special thanks goes outto all participants.

DISSIDENT SCIENTISTS CONVERGEON NOVA TO HEAR DUESBERGIby Kai Thorup

Contibuting Writer

HEAL's (Health EducationAIDS Liaison) first AIDS seminarsince becoming a student organiza­tion at NSU was a resounding suc­cess. World-renowned scientist, Dr.Peter H. Duesberg, lectured to over115 students and faculty in theHealth Professions Division CentralAuditorium on Friday, February 6th.

Duesberg, a prefessor ofmolecu­lar and cell biology at the Univer­sity of California at Berkeley, wasthe first scientist to map the geneticstructure ofretroviruses (the class ofvirus in which HIV belongs), earn­ing him the title Father ofRetrovirology. In 1968 he demon­strated that the genetic material ofthe influenza virus was segmented.In 1970, he discovered the first can­cer gene, which resulted in his elec­tion to the prestigious National Acad-

emy of Sciences. He is also the re­cipient of a seven-year OutstandingInvestigator Grant from the NationalInstitutes of Health.

It was Duesbergis experiencewith retroviruses that led him to chal­lenge the virus-AIDS hypothesis inthe following scientific journals:Cancer Research, Lancet, Proceed­ings ofthe National Academy ofSci­ences, Journal of AIDS, Science,Nature, AIDS Forschung, New En­gland Journal ofMedicine, and Re­search in Immunology.

In his lecture, Duesberg demon­strates that AIDS meets none of theclassic criteria of an infectious dis­ease and, in fact, HIV meets all thecriteria of a harmless passenger vi­rus. He proposes that AIDS is actu­ally being caused by recreationaldrugs and antiviral drugs like AZT,001, 3TC, and protease inhibitorsthat are supposed to combat HIV Hefurther explains that since AIDS is

caused by toxic drugs not an infec­tious virus, then the clean needle andsafe sex campaigns will do little toprevent AIDS.

Duesberg was not alone Fridaynight. Various scientists from aroundthe world were in attendance to of­fer their support for his critique ofthe HIV/AIDS hypothesis.

From the University of Califor­nia at Berkeley, Dr. David Rasnick,a developer of protease inhibitors(used in the new AIDS cocktail) forover twenty years, made an unex­pected appearance and graciouslyoffered to introduce his colleague,Dr. Duesberg.

Other scientists attending wereDr. Roberto A. Giraldo, independentAIDS researcher from the New YorkHospital Cornell Medical Center,previously of the University ofLon­don, and author of AIDS and Stres­sors;" Dr. Henri St. Fleur, a harshcritic ofthe HIV hvoothesis from the

University ofLille, France; and Dr.Todd Miller, molecular biologistand biochemist from the Universityof Miami. Although not in atten­dance, Dr. Harvey Bialy, editor ofthe prestigious science journal, Bio­technology, and an expert on AIDSin Africa phoned Dr. Duesberg of­fering his support. Dr. Bialy alsoagreed to speak at a HEAL meet­ing at NSU in the near future.

Anyone interested in Dr.Duesberg's research can read hisbooks, Infectious AIDS: Have WeBeen Misled, AIDS: The GoodNews is HIVDoesn't Cause It. TheBad News Is Recreational Drugsand Medical Treatments Like AZTDo, and Inventing the AIDS Virus.Copies of Friday night's lecture atNSU will be available for a dona­tion of $12.00 through HEAL at382-9995 or email:kai@thorup.com.

and it would be okay. We were wrong. The Na­tional Rule states if alcohol is at the party, there mustbe a list of invited guests, and names cannot be addedat the door. This rule was implemented because ifanything were to ever happen,. the sorority and frater­nity can be held responsible. This is for the well-be­ing ofthe student body. Both organizations would haveabided by these rules, had we known of the change.We apologize to the student body of Nova Southeast­ern that this change affected you. Just know that bothTheta Delta Chi and Delta Phi Epsilon wanted to pro­vide this party for the student body for an opportunityto have a little fun on campus rather than off. We hopeyou all can understand, and-we will make the change.

Despite ofthe new rule causing a conflict, we wantto take the time to thank the people that came to Vel­vety Valentine IV! Starting at 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.,there was non-stop dancing, eating, drinking, and so­cializing. Thanks goes out to the social chairs in bothorganizations. The party was still a success!

As to your article. Well, while I agree with the basic premise, that alltesting has an error factor involved and that false positive results increasesas prevalence decreaseS, what is the alternative? True, while a positivetest result for HIV (true or false) has tremendous implications, the alter­native is not knowing, which has greater negative implications. This iswhy confirmatory testing is essential, and why a DIAGNOSIS of HIVpositive is not given based on a single, non-confirmatory test result. Thereare more sophisticated tests with almost no false positives - culture, PCR,etc, which looks for actual virus. They are more difficult to perform, andcost prohibitive for general screening purposes. So, my bottom line isthis. While the author's point is valid, he does not propose any alterna­tive, let alone a reasonable one. The implications of HIV disease in gen­eral is great. It is compounded if fear and panic regarding screening mo­dalities drives people away from testing, especially when we know thatthe best way to lessen the impact ofthe disease is to prevent transmission,and you cannot be doing that effectively if you are: l)ignorant, and2)scared.

People are constantly being told they should test themselves for HIV,and why not? It certainly seems like the responsible thing to do ifyou havebeen sexually active. But are these test reliable?

If you pose this question to a doctor who is administering the HIV test,chances are you will be answer with a confidence "yes!" If you press forspecifics, you will quickly learn the two HIV antibody test, the ELISA andWestern Blot, are 99.9% accurate.

Well, that certainly sounds comforting ... or does it?Consider this. Baye's Law is a principle of statistics anyone with grade

school math skills can understand. It simply states: When you use any testin a population with a low incidence of a disease, you will a large number

.of false-positives be- cause no test is perfect.A false-positive is when the results of the To begin, I would like to say that not everone donates blood - as atest show you have the virus when, in actu- matter of fact, the blood banks across the nation are always asking - al-

ality, you don't. This is particularly dan- most begging - for peoplt; to donate blood because they are always low.gerous with HIV test because if the test Therefore, one cannot estimate the HIV population in the United Statesshows you are positive for HIV antibod- see ASSOCIATE on page 8

ies, this usually is considered the same as a1r-----------------------------,.death sentence.

Now, let's apply Baye's Law toHIV According to the Center for Dis­ease Control's (CDC) statistics, thepercentage ofthe population predictedto be HIV infected is 0.006% based onthe screening of the U.S. blood sup­ply. This number applied to a popula­tion of 100,000 people would mean

there are 6 people with HIV in every 100,000 people:100,000 X 0.006% = 6If the HIV are 99.9% accurate, this means they are also .06% inaccu­

rate. If the same 100,000 people were tested, the number of false-positiveswould look like this:

100,000 X .01 % = 100That is 100 false positives for every 6 true positives!Ifwelet the accuracy of these test slip to just 99%, as is sure to happen

with the new home test kit, then we have 1,000 false-positives to every 6true-positives!

These numbers are frightening and yet people are still encourage to testthemselves.

So, if you are considering testing yourself for HIV, please keep thesefigures in mind. Besides, why test? The test only detects antibodies to thevirus, not to the virus itself and there is no precedent in science where adisease only occurs after antibodies are made against it; but that is astory for another time.

Seven years after the Gulf War, the U.S. may be entering yet anotherwar. Washington's alleged reason this time- Iraq's non-compliance to theUnited Nations' resolutions.

The Center for Jungian Studies of Southeast Florida presents: The Wayof the Dream - March 21st & April 18th at Lynn University, Boca Raton

Press Release

"We dream our questions, ourdifficulties. When we reach an im­passe where there seems no wayout, we shuld seek the facts pro­vided by dreams."

e.G. JungWorld renowned psychiatrist

Carl Gustav Jung discovered that,through dreams, people awaken towho they really are. Yet few peopleever explore the sometimes bizarreworld they journey into every night.

The internationally acclaimedfilm series The Way of the Dream

is an extrordinary two-day seminarwhich combines films featuringdream interpretations by Dr. MarieLouise von Franz, the world'sforemost living authority onJungian psychology,with audience discus­sion led by a panel oflocal Jungian ana­lysts. The Way ofthe Dream hasplayed to packedhouses in Toronto,San Francisco, Boston,Ney York and other major cities anduniversities worldwide and has

drawn rave reviews from scholarsand analysts.

Here in South Florida for the firsttime in over ten years is

the authoritative filmseries on the meaningof dreams: The Wayof the Dream. A pro­fessional film crew

led by Canadianproducer FraserBoa (Midnighton the Orient Ex­

press) traveled over25,000 miles filming ordinary peopletelling their dreams - how they fly,

kill, make love, laugh, scream anddo things no one dares to mention.

Their screenings and discussionswill take place at Lynn Universityin Boca Raton on March 21st andApril 18th. The cost to attend bothdays is $150; a student rate is avail­able for those with a valid identifi­cation. Continuing education cred­its (CEU's) will be offered for psy­chologists, licensed clinical socialworkers, marriage and family thera­pists and mental health counselors.

Would theAnglo-American powers strike atany of the 68 installations in thepresidential residencies now openedup to international observers?

Even if the United States pos­sesses the most modern ofall weap­ons, how are the U.
