“We have nothing to com

Ashley Brendel, the chapter
president. “We don’t want to
print anything about it.”
Neither Holter nor Strickland
returned phone calls made on
Tuesday night.
Holter graduated from the
University in 2006 with a degree
in marketing.
The men also did well, placing third in
the 8K behind Florida State and
Appalachian State. Senior Ryley Miller
ran his way to a fourth-place finish and
hung around with two All-American can
didates from FSU, which should throw his
name into that category as well.
Head coach Dave Hartman was proud
of both teams, but still knows there is
room for improvement in the long season.
“The girls faced a really strong Florida
State team and were able to beat them,”
he said. “But it’s hard to gauge where your
team is during the early season meets.”
For the next meet, the Bulldogs
plan to play host in Athens for
the first time in nearly four years.

rise in
tuition
By KRISTEN COULTER
The Red & Black
University President Michael
Adams thinks tuition should be
raised to maintain the
University’s quality, one of his
top aides said.
“The money coming in has
not kept pace with the cost of
operations,” said Matt Winston,
assistant to the president.
The University charged in
state students $4,628 and out-of
state students $16,848 for the
2005-2006 school year, according
to a chart released by the
Southern Regional Education
Board.

Georgia’s state average in
state tuition and fees cost $3,044,
the Southern Regional Education
Board reported. The average
cost of in-state tuition and fees
for the 16 schools was $4,545.33.
“He (Adams) doesn’t want us
to be at the top of the list,”
Winston said. “He said he thinks
we need to be somewhere in the
middle of the list.”
Winston said Adams wants
the University to have enough
money to offer professors
salaries similar to what
other schools are offering.

Vaccine key
to avoiding
HPVrisk
By PEARMAN PARKER
The Red & Black
Many women on campus can
recognize the slogan, “I want to
be one less.”
That is, one less woman with
cervical cancer caused by the
human papillomavirus HPV.
The slogan is part of Merck &
Cos. Inc.’s national advertising
campaign for Gardasil, the HPV
vaccine they launched in 2006.
While students may be famil
iar with the dangers of HPV caus
ing genital warts and cervical
cancer, many are not fully aware
of the virus’ other implications.
“It’s becoming increasingly
clear that HPV is associated with
many cancers,” said Margaret
Cramer , lead physician at the
University Health Center’s
Women’s Clinic.
Researchers suspect that oral
sex may be a form of HPV trans
mission, according to anew
study from the M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston.
“We looked at smoking trends
over time,” said Erich Sturgis,
associate professor in the
Department of Head and Neck
Surgery at the University of
Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston.
“It’s clear that cigarette con
sumption per capita has dropped
the past 40 years,” he said.
