University Awareness holds workshop
By Joy LeBlanc
UP staff writer
The University Awareness class, a
selected group of freshman students,
attended an overnight workshop last
weekend that exposed them to sev-
eral different leadership skills.
Many upperclass leaders, alumni
and administrators attended the
event to give their support and expe-
rience to the participants. Ann Shaw,
dean of student development, and
Jacque Chapman, director of
Leadership Lamar Institute, coordi-
nated the workshop.
Through various activities, the
students learned ways to reach
heightened group participation
through team building, consensus
reaching, effective problem solving
and shared leadership.
“It was a great experience,” fresh-
man Chris Barclay said. “The activi-
ties we did outside brought to life
the leadership techniques they were
trying to teach us.”
During the workshop, the stu-
dents formed groups in order to prac-
tice the steps of team development.
The steps included the develop-
ment of competition, team spirit
and commitment to perform as a
team.
In one exercise, three teams
raced down a soccer field with each
team holding onto a hula hoop. At
certain times they had to stop and
get 10 to 12 people inside the hula
hoop.
“The race made everyone work
together and helped teach us the
benefits of team cooperation,” Vidor
freshman Roger Johns said.
AIDS ranked
No. 10 killer
for '90 in Texas
AUSTIN (AP) — Infection
with the AIDS virus has for
the first time become one of
the 10 leading causes of death
in Texas, health officials said
earlier this month.
In 1990, 1,836 Texas resi-
dents died as a result of infec-
tion with the human immun-
odeficiency virus, according to
the Texas Department of
Health.
That total is 354 more than
the 1,482 deaths attributed to
HIV infection in 1989.
Among the health depart-
ment's 10 leading causes of
death, HIV infection ranks
10th, a place previously held
by cirrhosis of the liver, said
Tom Pollard, a division direc-
tor of the department's Bureau
of Vital Statistics.
"The number of deaths
from HIV had been increasing
steadily over the past few
years, so unless there had
been a dramatic reversal in the
trend, it had to achieve the
top 10 leading causes," Pollard
said.
Since 1987, when HIV
infection was first considered
a separate cause of death, it
has steadily climbed. It
ranked 15th in 1987, tied at
13th in 1988 and ranked 11th
in 1989.
On the national level, HIV
infection was listed as the
11th leading cause of death in
1989 and 1990, Pollard said.
Pollard said HIV infection
also is among the 10 leading
causes of death in California,
New York, New Jersey,
Florida and Washington, D.C.
There was no change in
the other nine leading causes
of death in Texas, Pollard said.
Heart disease, cancer,
stroke and accidents were the
four leading killers and were
responsible for 66 percent of
the death toll in 1990, Pollard
said.
