Students aid campaigns, become ‘part of history 9 BY SAM STEINBERG The Red & Black In politics, some lean right, others left, and University students Christie Haynes and Chad Brock agree students must play both roles in the polit ical process. These students work on presidential campaigns. Haynes, a sophomore from Marietta, will join more than a dozen stu dents to travel to South Carolina Friday to cam paign for Republican presi dential candidate Mike Huckabee. The South Carolina Republican pri mary is Saturday. Haynes will spend the day holding up signs in support of Huckabee. “I think it is a great experience to be part of that process because in 10 years you don't remember standing outside on the PROGRAM: Stories portray disease’s realities ► From Page 1 the disease increase, Winskell said. “They help to critically question social norms they’re absorbing from the environment.” More than half of the past participants were part of a mixed-gender team, a key part of the process, Winskell said. “Scenarios” produces about three films per year, using award-winning African filmmakers and local actors to bring to life the winning stories. Films run from one to 14 minutes in length. The messages of the films center on disease pre vention and the reality of living with HIV/AIDS. Winskell said. “These are the true voic es of the vanguard," she said. “They dedicate their lives to helping people liv ing with the infection.” In 2007’s contest, more than 20,000 stories were received and judged by a panel of filmmakers, public health specialists and peo ple living with HIV/AIDS Past winners have been as young as 9 years old. In 2008, contestants will submit ideas about HIV/ AIDS for a short film to be aired during the 2010 “These are the true voices of the van guard. They dedicate their lives to helping people living with the infection. ” Km Wmskell LECTURER FROM EMORY UNIVERSITY Football World Cup in South Africa. "The process is so much anchored at the communi ty level,” Winskell said. “They are dying to have their voices heard.” The lecture was the first in the annual lecture series, “Global Diseases: Voices from the Vanguard,” spon sored by Grady College. The next lecture, on Feb. 12, features Jim Yong Kim from the Harvard School of • Public Health. NEXT LECTURE The second lecture in the ‘Global Diseases: Voices of the Vanguard series": Jim Kim, director of the Frangois-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights at the Harvard School of Public Health will speak about his work with HIV/ AIDS. There will be a reception after the lecture in Demosthenian Hall. The series is presented by the Knight Chair and the Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases. road,” Haynes said. “You remember if your candi date won and that you were involved. It sounds cheesy, but you’re part of history.” Brock, president of Georgia Students for Barack Obama, said he agreed. “All Americans should be involved in politics regardless of their age,” he said. The South Carolina Democratic primary is Jan. 26, and Georgia Students for Barack Obama will be MCG: Regents to push ‘best case possible’ ► From Page 1 the future that will not dif fer greatly from Tripp Umbach’s recommenda tions. Regents then will lobby legislators for funding, Davis said. “We will make the abso lute best case possible (to legislators) and try and suggest that this is a bat tle that we cannot afford to lose," he said. "My assumption is that it will be given a very high prior ity in the legislature.” The plan calls for expanded facilities in Augusta, the location of MCG’s main campus, and increased use of existing residential campuses in Savannah and Albany. If the plan is imple mented, MCG could expand from 745 students to 1,200 by 2020, with facil ities in Augusta, Athens, Savannah and Albany, according to the release. Expansion of MCG comes as a result of an increased need for physi cians statewide, Davis said. He said Georgia ranks 40th among states in the nation for number of physicians per capita. “If we do not find a way ... to produce more doc tors quickly, by 2020, we are going to be last in the nation in terms of the number of doctors,” he said. Officials Tuesday tried to downplay perceived competition between growth of MCG in Athens and Augusta, pointing to the anticipated economic growth for both communi ties and the state as a result of the plan. “This is not an Athens plan we’re talking about. It’s not an Augusta plan we are talking about. It is a Georgia plan we are talk ing about,” Davis said. Paul Umbach, the pres ident of Tripp Umbach A/j M NOW WAIVING West I B 2BR/2BA $439-$459 tJm.

JEW* OBAMA ■ HUCKABEE canvassing in South Carolina and Athens on Saturday. Brock said he plans to be busy as he pre pares for the Georgia pri mary. Both parties will hold primaries in Georgia on Tuesday, Feb. 5. Several University stu dents traveled outside the region to help candidates. Freshman Patrick Burnett spent his winter break in lowa working for Bill Richardson’s campaign as a “road runner.” “What is so interesting is that in lowa, people who presented the report to regents Tuesday, esti mates the plan to expand MCG will generate more than 10,000 additional jobs and $1.6 billion annually statewide, the release said. Daniel Rahn, president of MCG, said his college and the University will have enhanced research capabilities as a result of the partnership The enhancement comes from the University's strength in science research and MCG’s strength in clinical research, Adams said. “Our research scientists will be competitive for the kinds of science that nei ther of our institutions are, at present, competitive for on our own." Rahn said. Adams said the closure of the Navy Supply Corps School as part of the Defense Department's Base Realignment and Closure process made the 58 acres available to the University. “It didn’t take long for the light to go off in my head that we could possi bly convert the Navy facil ity to educational purpos es as a health sciences campus,” he said A medical campus in Athens makes sense, Adams said, because the University produces more undergraduates who attend medical school than any other institution in the state. Umbach said expand ing medical education facilities is a trend around the country right now. “All eyes in America are on Georgia today," he said. “I was really moved by the hundreds of people that we were engaged with throughout this process that weren't in health care and they weren’t in higher education ... they were involved in the fabric of their communities.” NEWS actually care what you say,” Burnett said. “People would invite you inside and offer hot chocolate and cof fee .” Burnett also made phone calls and described some of his conversations as “linguistic adventures.” Richardson withdrew from the Democratic race last week. Burnett said he treasures his experience on the campaign trail. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I was there for a reason and I really like the candidate," Burnett said. “Maybe I will get lucky and take all the Bill Richardson stickers and add ‘Vice’ in front of Bill.” Burnett said he believes young Americans can make a difference if they vote.

Audrey Haynes, a politi cal science professor, said in some places, college stu dents could be as much as one fourth of eligible vot ers. “On the whole, com pared to the rest of the population, students do not vote in as large num bers, but when they do, they do in particular when they feel that the election involves issues that they care about,” Haynes said. “My view is that we Eire seeing younger people engaging in more activism these days.” One way young WEDNESDAY 1/16 WRONGWAY (Sublime Tribute Band) doors " 8 The Daily Puzzle Tunrtay’i Puerto Bovd m| A | L | O ~wMo[wTT V 9 9. f B 1 9 9.9, o e S C O U ill N PAS.
