Red Cross to study reasons behind AIDS contamination Dr. Terry Anderson,anas professor of history, will pn program on the history of Am lock ’n’ roll, which he says stuff , not like most schola but who cares.” The program, sponsored li History Club, will oe heldlii at 7 p.m. in 100 Harrington room Building. Anderson says themes i American society and culture in popular music. He supper idea by using 15 dif ferent tit from the last 30 years in aa presentation. He builds hisosi excerpts f rom about 75 songs. * Funky \ THAT'S interesting Associated Press NEW YORK — The American Red Cross has found evidence of AIDS contamination in two to three of every 1,000 blood samples tested, but officials say they will perform more tests on the blood before they inform the donors. In addition to confirming the ini tial results, the Red Gross said it wants to study more closely what the test results mean. The additional tests will delay no tification, until June at least, of do nors whose blood is confirmed as having been exposed to the AIDS vi rus. The Red Cross, which provides about half the nation’s blood supply, began screening blood last month to keep the suspected AIDS virus from spreading through transfusions. Federal authorities blame transfu sions for 143 of the nation’s 9,760 cases of AIDS. People at high risk for AIDS, in cluding homosexuals and intrave nous drug abusers, have been urged to avoid giving blood. “(This is) the number one factor that will protect the nation’s blood supply," said Dr. S. Gerald Sandler, associate vice president for medical operations of the Red Cross. The blood screening is a backup precaution, he said. “(Transfusion) recipients need protection by eliminating every unit of blood that might lx* infected. Do nors need protection by not being implicated by a blood center in the AIDS epidemic on the basis of a ... lab test that isn’t confirmed,” he said. The test is designed only to find the chemical antibodies created by the immune system in response to the AIDS virus. But the test is imper fect and can’t be completely con firmed, Sandler said. So, although even a marginal positive reading will disuualify the blood for transfusion, it does not mean the donor has AIDS, or will get it. The themes include civil r women’s liberation, ihe m c> v e m e n t, male/ft* relationships and the movement, Anderson says, Donors whose blood can he con firmed positive will lie notified to keep them from spreading the virus, Sandler said, but the Red (Toss will hold back on donors it’s unsure about until better tests are available to resolve the uncertainty. 1 le says he has done reseat studies of popular musieford licr of years. At a conventii American history, lie prei paper on popular iiuisicinVifl Researchers are trying to learn the correlation between the strength of a positive reading on the screen ing test and the likelihood that the blood actually carries the virus. That effort will help the Red Cross set the tone of its notifications to donors. Sandler said. Anderson says he consider!#] lar music to lie a rcllectionoli of the thoughts and eventso A met it an experience.

Men caught taking exotic animals to Associated Press HOUSTON —Two men were be ing detained Monday for allegedly trying to take 14 exotic animals into Mexico from Arizona, a LLS. Cus toms Service spokesman said. The animals included two drome dary camels, six springboks, five wal labies and a zebra, Charles Conroy, Customs Service spokesman in Houston said. The two men taken into custody were identified as Manuel Garcia Pueblo and Jesus Garcia, both from Sonora, a state in Mexico. A customs inspector on his way to work Friday in Nogales, Ariz., spotted the two-truck caravan and said his interest was aroused because the head of the camel was sticking out of the truck. Ironically, the in spector is responsible for stopping il legal exports. After the trucks, bearing Mexico license plates, passed the turnoff leading to customs inspections, agents nailed the vehicles to question the drivers, Conroy said. “When asked about export docu ments and health documents, they gave a real fine story," he said. “They said the man that usually brings animals from Arkansas was in Los Angeles with a broken neck and that his replacement ran off with medical papers after a wallaby es- t aped during reloadinginTusi One of the wallabies aipl est aped m Fucson bv pundiJ of the drivers, Conroy said.
