Media groups meet as Allied troops push Iraqis out of Kuwait
As Allied troops pushed Iraqi occupying forces out of Kuwait City on Tuesday, media experts from various Southern California news agencies and universities met at the Annenberg School for Communication to discuss coverage of the war.
Nina Zarato, assignment editor for the Los Angeles Bureau of Cable News Network, explained the planning that went into the war coverage. She said the "live immediacy" displayed by CNN was possible only because of the five months of planning during which CNN prepared for the outbreak of war.
Shanto Iyengar, professor of political science and communications studies at UCLA, said a study he had been involved with revealed that "we are likely to learn more the longer the transmission time involved. Episodic framing tends to distract people's attention from the big picture."
Iyengar defined "episodic" as the division of news into distinct pieces without a reference to the larger context.
Meanwhile, in the Persian Gulf, under American and Allied fire, Iraq's beaten army streamed north Tuesday in a headlong flight homeward, aban doning Kuwait City to its day of libera tion after a long, dreadful, bloody night of occupation and war, The Associated Press reported.
In the final days of their occupation of the city, Iraqi troops blew up or se fire to major buildings, reportedly in-

Health Services trains counselors; anonymous HIV testing proposed
By Walter Renwick
Staff Writer
The university's Student Health and Counseling Services is training counselors to treat AIDS patients in an overall effort to bring an anonymous AIDS testing program to the university. The plan is one of the first of its kind in the nation, officials said.
The health service, which plans to start the new testing program at the Student
Health Center in April, will also begin educating the general student population about the disease, said Dr. Steven Gardner, director of the univerity's AIDS Awareness Committee.
The "HTV Counselors Program" will be conducted by Gardner and administered by Lynne Bejoian, Ann Hickey, Marty Majchowicz, Paula Swinford and Manny Tau, all members of the university's AIDS Awareness Commitee. They currently are
interviewing interested students, staff and faculty members for the part-time volunteer positions.
The program is being funded by a joint $6,000 grant from the American College Health Association and Burroughs-Well-come, the British pharmaceutical company that invented AZT, a drug widely used to treat AIDS. The university also is supplying a $4,500 grant.
The program is aimed at encouraging AIDS testing among students, Hickey said.
"The testing conducted by this program will be anonymous," Hickey said. "In anonymous testing, the results will

Slate system born of controversy
‘A Ticket’ hopes to rid Senate of this year’s ‘political garbage’
By Chris Fukunaga Staff Writer
The story was last year's most notorious campus love triangle — the only one, actually. The chairman of the Student Senate's election and recruitment committee, it seemed, was involved with a Senate candidate.
Furthermore, this candidate was a member of the controversial "I" slate, a group of 11 candidates who formed a political party of sorts and identified themsleves with the Roman numeral "I" piaced after each members' name on the official ballot.
The slate identification was something new to university politics, and it did not go

unchallenged. Strangely enough, the elections and recruitment chairman is the one who had originally approved of the "I" slate and ordered the ballots.
After all 11 of the "I" candidates won Senate seats, accusations began to circulate that the chairman, Anthony DeBarry, had compromised his position and given an unfair advantage to the "I" slate. His alleged girl-
friend, Sinne Mutsaers, an "I" candidate who resigned last semester to pledge a sorority, was accused of using DeBarry to get her slate elected.
As if that weren't enough, other accusations arose about DeBarry's alleged involvement with the Chief Justice of the Senate Judicial Council, the student organization that cleared the "I" slate of any wrongdoing.
"I don't give as... what it looks like," De-Barry said at the time of the accusations. "I know that nothing happened and we didn't do anything wrong."
He denied that Mutsaers was his girlfriend, but did say they had been dating before the election. The charges against DeBarry were eventually dropped and the Judicial Council never heard them. And the controversial idea of slate affiliation continued.
This year, DeBarry has organized a slate of his own — the "A Ticket," a four-member

After ten weeks of wading through red tape and university administration tie-ups, Peter Krajewski, a sophomore majoring in cinema production, received a refund for $154.78 from the University Bookstore for items he said he never purchased on his USCard discretionary account.
Krajewski said he began noticing his balance was lower than it should have been in early December. A USCard printout shows that allegedly unauthorized charges began appearing on Dec. 4, 1990. On that date, two charges for $8.30 and $6.50 were made at the same time, 9:04 p.m., at the bookstore. At that time, the bookstore would not have been open.
On subsequent dates, 11 unauthorized charges were made on Krajewski's account.
Auxiliary Services claims that charges on a discretionary account are not possible unless the actual card is run through the debit machine, said Donald Wilson, associate director of USCard at Auxiliary Services.
"Anyone debiting (Krajewski's) account would need his card," Wilson said. "It is impossible to debit a discretionary account without having the card."
Krajewski said he believes that someone must have gotten hold of his number and began debiting his account.
His problem was aggravated, Krawjewski said, when Auxiliary Services and the bookstore took an unreasonably long time in deciding to refund the money.
"I keep all my receipts, and when I went in there, I knew (See USCard, page 15)
