Sion Tara Gilbert/The Eagle Eye Organizations come together in support ofAIDS awareness Photographer to present lecture, slide show Sarah Beaumont Th K- olo eye I7v<» 1 ne eagle In an attempt to bring the realities of death to a personal level, photographer Carolyn Jones will visit the University to present a lecture and slide presentation on Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. in the Sloan Auditorium. Through a series of photographs entitled Living Proof: Courage in the Face ofAids, Jones depicts people of all ages and races in an attempt to capture the essence of the human spirit of those who are living with HIV and AIDS. The focus of her lecture is to inspire and change the way we think about AIDS. Through her photographs and stories, Jones hopes to assert the fact that this disease doesn't discriminate, but instead looks like, and ultimately affects all of us. The depiction of AIDS in Jones' work reflects the belief that the disease does not have to be viewed as an instant death sentence.

Phetteplace also believes that to see death is to remember death. By experiencing death, we as a society can only gain a greater respect for life, and can learn to not "be afraid to look at one another" because we are all in this together, said Phct- teplace. Those that come to Jones' presentation will also have a chance to win one of her books filled with the faces that are represented in her slides, According to one press release detailing the effects of her presentation, "these compelling photographs have the power to profoundly alter perceptions about this disease, and about how we all live and die." Jones collaborated with over 70 people who volunteered to pose for the images. She hopes to inspire a change in the way some view AIDS, She hopes to illustrate the self confidence and wisdom of ordinary people coping with the extraordinary fate, facing their mortality, questioning their priorities and trying to live life to the fullest. Concerned for the safety of his fellow students, Student Cooperative Council Senator Kris Dumont broached the need for a traffic control device to be implemented on Glenn Road. According to Dumont, people have a tenthe speed limit sign telling drivers not to 15 mph.

LOCK HAVEN An Irish lecturer whose research has shed light on the effects of political violence in Northern Ireland will be presenting his findings in the Hall of Flags on Feb. 22 as part of the University's International Visiting Lecturer Series. Professor Neil Ferguson, who will discuss The Effects of 30 years of Political Violence on the Construction of Ethnic Identity and Inter-Community Relations in Northern Ireland, believes that "Northern Ireland has suffered a campaign of sustained ethnic conflict with a generation of children developing physically, psychologically and socially in a divided society, under the shadow of sectarian and political violence." A full-time lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the Liverpool Hope University College in Liverpool, England, Ferguson has found through his intensive study of the subject that this type of "cthnopolitical violence" has had a huge impact on Northern Ireland's social structure resulting in the creation of a bipolar society with the minority population identifying themselves as" Catholics and the majority identifying themselves as Protestants. \ According to Ferguson's presentation summary that was submitted to the University's International de- ' housing segregation into homogenous religious areas. While housing segregation is the most obvious form of segregation, further examples of segregation can be found in all spheres of Northern Irish life, in sport, in some instances employment and in who people choose to marry, Ferguson stated. Because of this presence of separate ethnic identities in Northern Iredevelop- land, ments of ingroup loyalty, feelings of victimization and stereotyping of the opponent community have plagued their society. "All these factors are part of the process leave sectarianism in the past measures have to be introduced to attempt to illustrate the rights of all the individuals in Ireland, North or South, as equals with legitimate desires and aspirations. According to Ferguson, measures have been introduced to deconstruct these stereotypes and bring about the development of a shared identity, particularly in the area of education. However, most of "Northern Ireland has the approaches suffered a campaign of used have had stained ethnic conflict w problems or have been introduced a generation of too recently to children developing have been fully and socially in a divided society under the shadow of sectarian and political violence." that lead to the individual cepting identitv ac- their as a member of a eth- to evaluated, Ferguson stated.

Roseborough said the segment was relevant because of recent drinking deaths at state universities. Parks and Recreation junior Bradley McCue died in November after consuming 24 shots in two hours to celebrate his 21st birthday. "We were looking into a matter of public concern," Roseborough said. Roseborough said the reporter and photographer, both female, approached the house, 225 N. Harrison Ave., and were invited in. They were never asked if they were reporters and did not manipulate the situation, he said. The station did not intentionally single out the Sigma Phi Epsilon house, Roseborough said. "We were up there with no specific destination in mind," he said. "We were there for several hours and the night kind of led us (to the house)."

In response I would either hustle him out of my room or take the opportunity to procrastinate by chatting him up about one thing or another. Sleep, sadly, had to wait. Study after study shows that I was not alone, that college students are chronically sleep deprived due to their erratic work and social sched- In 1910 Americans slept an average of nine hours a night. Today they for about seven. Most doctors recommend at least eight to insure good health. Unfortunately, getting eight hours of sleep is unusual for most people. The Sleep Foundation's most recent Gallup survey, called "Sleepiness in America" quotes ominous figures based on the "Epworth Sleepiness Scale." According to the survey, 32 percent of adults scored above a 10 on the Epworth Scale (moderately severe sleepiness) while 6 percent scored over 15 (severe sleepiness).

We all know people who claim to get by on fewer hours of sleep than the rest of us. President Clinton, for example, reports that he hits the sack for only five or six hours per night. According to researchers, there is a small percentage of the population that can thrive on such a stunted sleep schedule. Those people are called "short sleepers." Researchers Are Trying to Help Audrey Chang of the Washington, D.C.-bascd Better Sleep Council said she thinks many of these eager beavers are "just trying to be macho." She said there's a certain glamour to being up all night and awake at the crack of dawn, and that people think they can discipline themselves to need less sleep. "You can't train yourself," Chang said. "How much sleep we need is genetically determined." The number of sleep clinics in America has more than tripled in the past 20 years. Educational, research and support groups that focus on sleep issues have also proliferated. Some are soothing, like the aforementioned Sleep Foundation and Better Sleep Council; others are Ethics from page 3 ues, have no place in American higher education," Molasso said. "I believe the student leaders of Sigma Phi Epsilon arc committed to changing their chapter culture, and will take the steps necessary to ensure that their organization, as well as the rest of the Greek community, remains viable at MSU." No single incident triggered the moratorium, but the broadcast did have an effect on the decision, said Interfraternity Council President Jason Rosenbaum. "It had something to do with the Fox broadcast, but that was only part of it," he said. Members of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house could not be reached for comment. Leaders in the greek community will use the 30 days to focus on the greek system's founding values, Molasso said.

MoVasso said. drinking aired in January used undercover footage taken in Rick's American Cafe, 224 Abbott Road. WJBK's undercover reporting was not necessarily unethical, said William McWhirter, who teaches a journalism ethics class at MSU. "I don't put this under the title of gotcha journalism or ambush journalism," McWhirter said. "Every greek house should be on notice and consider themselves fair game." If the reporter and photographer took steps to alter the partiers' actions, then the reporting would be considered unethical, he said. "If the Fox crew manipulated the situation or coaxed people underage to drink or helped to stage the situation, that is not ethical and not fair game," McWhirter said. MSU journalism Professor Jim Detjen agreed undercover reporting is not inherently unethical. As long as the reporter and photographer acted professionally, it is acceptable, he said. "I don't know if they misrepresented themselves. That can raise ethical questions," Detjen said. "If they misrepresented themselves to get in or broke in illegally, I would have problems with that. These are critical issues to know about." Molasso expressed disappointment in the newscast's content.

But sleep experts advise Society. The National Highway Traffic against eating or exercising right beSafety Administration estimates that than more 200,000 crashes are related to drowsy driving.

Yet even after put we've the awav books, logged off the Internet and returned from our final trip to the all-night convenience store, millions of us still have trouble sleeping. How to Get Better Sleep; Several factors may be involved. Stress is perhaps the best known. Almost every college student has tossed and turned with worry about an unwritten paper or an unfinished problem set. Stress increases heart rate and blood pressure, raising excitement levels. Students say the sensation can become almost electric. It can keep a person awake for fore bed. Both activities temporarily boost the body's metabolism and make it harder to sleep. Other "sleep stealers" include alcohol and caffeine, and experts urge caution and consultation with a doctor before turning counter sleeping aids to over-thelike Melatonin. What Washington's Deep Pockets Are Doing to Help There are, of course, medically diagnosable sleep disorders, and an estimated 30 million Americans suffer from them. Recently, the National Institutes of Health established the National Center on Sleep Disorders hours. While there are various ways of Research and commissioned a major controlling stress, it will most likely sleep study. The study looked at descriptions, remain a constant pressure in the lives of college students and beyond. symptoms, causes and treatment opIn the meantime, the Better Sleep tions for various common sleep disCouncil stresses proper "sleep hy- orders. These ranged from narcolepgiene." Chang urges students to take sy to "sleep eating disorder," whose control of their "sleep environments" victims actually rise out of bed while - adjusting noise level, temperature still asleep and make themselves (she said people sleep best at be- meals.

The center's Web site allows "Sleep hygiene is anything related to sleep that a person can control," dreamers to share their dreams with Chang said. "A lot of it seems like researchers and explore what experts common sense, but common sense is have determined to be the 55 most common dream themes. often overlooked." Along with the old standbys like For instance, Jeremy HungFriedman, a senior at Penn State nakedness, falling and sexual interUniversity, claims that "sometimes course, some of the more "typical" dreams by the fact that their intensity causes the dreamer to wake up with a start. to According Zadra, five to seven percent of adults report current problems with nightmares. Centuries ago, nightmares were thought to be visitations from evil spirits and demons. Later, they became the objects of both Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysis. Tricks That Help You Control Your Dreams But modern students of sleep have been working to develop other ways for sleepers to control unsettling dreams. One trick: write down the nightmare immediately after you awaken, and then revise, making whatever changes feel right. Another technique involves something called "lucid dreaming," loosely defined as being aware that what you are experiencing is a dream and not real. "For example," Zadra said, "if a person is being chased in a dream we'd tell them to recognize that they are dreaming and to confront their pursuer. And then do what? Have a dialogue with them. Say. "Hey, who are you? Why are you chasing me?' It works remarkably well." The point is, it's possible to get a better night's sleep no matter what your daytime troubles. Still, the number one problem, most researchers and educators agree, is that Americans are indifferent to sleep. "Those same people who would never dream of getting behind the wheel of a car after drinking, think nothing of driving when they're half asleep," Chang said. "Sleep should be though ofas a health issue, part of what we like to call the Triumvirate of Health' — exercise, diet and sleep." Although it may seem that those counseling overcommitted college students to get more sleep are fighting a losing battle, they remain optimistic. "People are starting to take a look at sleep," said Heidi Wunder of the National Sleep Foundation. "We've seen more diagnoses of sleep disorders recently, and, hopefully, as we continue our efforts, people's awareness will continue to increase." Bookstore Watch for our Spring Break specials!!
