For the past three years, Planned Parenthood has offered free HIV testing to University of Memphis students. From July of last year to June 2012, 288 students took advan-tage of this program.
“Early detection is the first line of defense,” Jacqueline De Fouw,

Memphis has some of the high-est rates of HIV in the United States.
“Among the largest metro areas in the country, Memphis ranks the 5th highest,” said Joan Carr, director of community affairs for Planned Parenthood of the Greater Memphis Region.
College students are especially at risk for contracting the disease.
Three weeks are left of the trav-eling exhibit that exploits President Abraham Lincoln’s struggle to resolve secession, slavery and dissent.
“Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War” is a six-week exhibi-tion that is open every Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. on the second floor of the Ned R. McWherter
Library. It is free and open to the public.
“The traveling exhibit is the first and only appearance here at U of M,” said Edwin G. Frank, preserva-tion and special collections librar-ian at the University of Memphis.
Frank said the purpose of the exhibit is to make people think about the power the Constitution gives the government to sanction people in times of war.

Flyer, Whole Foods Market and more, Rock for Love expects this year’s event to be the biggest yet.
“The reason we continued to work on the show these past years is because we were all musicians insured by the Church Health Center,” Stockwell said. ”We thought ‘How do we leverage our many years in the music community to do good?’ This is the one way where we can really rally all of our friends in the scene to give back to the Church Health Center.”
The Rock for Love fundraiser con-tinues to grow and add new aspects to the annual event.
“This year is going to be abso-lutely huge. We are closing Madison Avenue on Saturday between Cooper and Diana Street,” Hulett said. “We are going to be having anything and every-thing from music to art, getting people healthy and even valet bike parking.”
There are 24 bands scheduled to play over the four days the fundraiser takes place.
The Hi-Tone shows will have tickets available online and at the door.

University is a good way to reach young people. Infection rates are highest among ages 15 to 34,” Carr said.
Attempts were made to receive statistics on how many U of M students suffer from HIV. Carr and Elokin CaPece, director of edu-cation for Planned Parenthood, refused to release the information, claiming that the pool of those test-
ed was too selective and could pos-sibly compromise confidentiality.
Students can receive testing for sexually transmitted infections at the University Health Center if they have symptoms. Students pay a mandatory Health Services fee each semester that allows all testing and treatment done at the center to be free to students when they visit the center. Fees are applicable when tests or patients are sent off-campus.
“We try to keep costs as low as possible for students,” De Fouw
said. In addition to offering individ-
ual counseling to patients, Student Health Services also provides a variety of educational programs for students if they choose to become sexually active.
“We are more than happy to pro-
vide educational programs for any group on campus,” De Fouw said.
Education is essential to avoid-ing sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancies, she said.
Students have a variety of options for testing of sexually transmitted
infections in the Memphis area. The Memphis Center for Reproductive Health, Planned Parenthood’s cen-ter and the Shelby County Health Department all offer screening.
“The Health Department charges $10 for all screening. That $10 also covers treatment,” De Fouw said. n

including a book discussion that O’Donovan leads on Friday nights from 6 to 8 p.m.
In her lecture, O’Donovan said slaves forced Lincoln to look upon them as human beings because slavery was not important to Lincoln unless it put the union back together.
“War opened up opportunity for slaves to act in ways they could not act before,” she said.
In O’Donovan’s lecture, titled “The Slaves’ War,” she also addressed the role of black men and women during the Civil War.
Two students said another presi-dent or prominent figure should have been put on display rather than Lincoln. Sophomore Jordan Martinez, fire technology major, said Frederick Douglas would have been a better pick.
“Lincoln did not do much as a president so therefore anoth-er president could have been in the running for an exhibit,” said Stephen Rose, sophomore sport and leisure management major.
Future lecturers include U of M history professor Scott Marler, pro-fessors Tim Huebner and Charles McKinney from Rhodes College and Daphene McFerren, Director of the Benjamin L. Hooks Institute for Social Change.
Podcasts of the lectures are available in the McWherter Library for those unable to attend. n

After a continued battle for resources and funding, the Memphis Tigers Cricket Club received news on Friday that the club would be accepted as an offi-cial member of American College Cricket.
“We haven’t made the full tran-sition yet,” said coach and star player Murali Ankaraju. “It is a process, but we are all very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”
Formed in July 2009 by students in the Indian Student Association who have a “burning love” for cricket, the club has participated in various hard tennis ball tourna-ments over the last few years.
Those tournaments include the BullDawg Championship held at Mississippi State University and the Auburn University’s Tiger Cup, which they won last October. The club most recently tied in the finals of the hard tennis ball Ole Miss Cricket Tournament.
MTCC has players that com-pete in non-collegiate traditional hardball cricket. The move to the ACC will allow the club to begin to develop a hardball team.
“If we are going to play hardball cricket, we are going to have to practice much harder,” Ankaraju said. “The grounds we have been playing on have not been suitable
for hardball cricket, but we are currently talking to the University about playing our games at the Echles field, but we are not sure yet.”
MTCC President Santhosh Ankaraju told ACC President Lloyd Jodah, “I have always appreciated and admired your group’s excellent contributions to our cricketing community. The partnership between the (ACC) and MTCC will help our club to achieve endeavors and continue on with even greater commitment and success, and to strive to be a strong and vibrant community-based sporting club.”
The club will send two teams to play in the Memphis Premier League, a local cricket tournament featuring 13 teams put together by the Indian cricketing community. The tournament starts this week-end and will carry on until the end of September or the beginning of October.
“We want to encourage cricket-ers to come and play with us,” said Krishna Dhanekula, the MTCC’s advisor. “We have gotten a lot of feedback since the article was published last week.”
Ankaraju and Dhanekula said last week’s Daily Helmsman article about the club ignited a chain reaction of support, leading to the ACC’s decision to extend the offer to MTCC.
“The ACC saw the article after we posted it to our Facebook page,” Dhanekula said. “They were impressed by the University’s and the students’ support of MTCC and decided to invite us to become an official member. We have even had professors ask where we play so they can come see a game.”
MTCC will become a member of the Southwest Conference and compete regularly against teams such as the University of Arkansas Razorbacks and the Arkansas State University Red Wolves.
Before the Memphis Premier League, the club will compete in the Jackson State Cricket Tournament in Jackson, Miss. this week. The team will begin play in the ACC this year and, if every-thing works out, could advance to play in the ACC Nationals in March.
“We are honored to finally be a member,” Ankaraju said. “People are starting to notice us. It is a good feeling.”
Those interested in joining or finding out more about the club can contact Krishna Dhanekula at [email protected]. n
Volleyball team ready for takeoff in Rocket Classic
After an almost weeklong break since their tournament in Charleston, S.C., the University of Memphis volleyball team is looking ahead to their upcoming matches this weekend in Toledo, Ohio. The Rocket Classic will fea-ture the Tigers, Florida Gulf Coast University, Illinois State University and tourney host – University of Toledo Rockets.
Tigers’ head coach April Jauregui looks for her squad to rebound from last weekend and build momentum going into this tournament before heading back home for the Tiger Invitational.
“It’s all about feeling better and more comfortable after each game,” Jauregui said. “Obviously we would love to win all three, but ideally we’re trying to get two wins.”
After posting their first win of the season last Saturday against the University of North Florida, the Tigers look to gain momentum
in this tournament by holding the best attack percentage with .297 and kills per set (12.3) of the four teams in the field. Leading the way for the Tiger offense is senior Altrese Hawkins, who has over a third of the Tigers’ kills this season with 105. Hawkins is also leading her team on the defensive side with 2.92 digs per set.
Hawkins is fifth all-time in kills for the Tigers with 1,455 in her career and is on pace to break the all-time record of 1,789 set by Monique Swaby from 1992-95.
“She’s one of the best,” Jauregui said of the senior sensation.
“I don’t think about the stats,” Hawkins said. “It’s all about doing the best I can for the team. It’s about everyone being able to play at their max.”
Coach Jauregui is looking for senior Maja Kostic and red-shirt sophomore Aleksandra Petronijevic to continue their aggressive styles of play.
“They were named to the (Courtyard Charleston North) All-Tournament team. We hope they’ll
continue to play well,” she said.The Tigers will have another
weeklong break after this tour-nament to prepare for the Tiger Invitational. Then after another week off, conference play begins.
The Rocket Classic will feature relatively new opponents for the Tigers, as the most recent match against one of these teams was in 2000 when the Tigers fell to Toledo. Memphis also lost to Illinois State in 1991 and has never played against Florida Gulf Coast.
“Illinois State is the team to watch for,” Jauregui said. “Out of the three, they look the best.” The Redbirds hold a 3-4 record for the year thus far.
The Tigers have one of the more diverse squads out of the four schools, with players coming from as close as Cordova, Tenn., and as far away as Serbia. Jauregui sees this as “a huge advantage.”
“It’s about getting the best play-ers we can,” she said. “It’s an advan-tage of getting the best recruits in the world. We’ve got great support from the department, especially from the new athletic director.”
The Tigers will begin their tour-nament play Friday night as they square off against host Toledo at 6 p.m. (CT) at John F. Savage Arena. n

Junior guard Geron Johnson cleared to playAfter waiting to hear if he would
be able to play in the University of Memphis men’s basketball team’s 2012 season, junior guard Geron Johnson received word he could play in the upcoming campaign.
Johnson most recently played for Garden City Community College in Garden City, Kan., where he was dis-missed in February for numerous run-ins with the law. The 6-3, 200-pound guard from Dayton, Ohio, was told by head coach Josh Pastner when he signed with the Tigers that he would have to meet requirements set forth by the team and University to play, including staying out of trouble and sustaining NCAA and University academic standards.
Johnson has a chance to show that he is capable of contributing to an already deep rotation at guard, while also show-ing he is not a bad seed. In 25 games last season in the junior college ranks, Johnson put up 19.6 points per game, to go along with 5.6 rebounds per game and 4.6 assist per game.
Johnson now joins fellow Tiger freshmen Shaq Goodwin and Damien Wilson, both from Atlanta, Ga., as one of three new additions to the 2012-13 roster. The Tigers open the season on Nov. 12 versus North Florida. n
Geron Johnson adds depth and talent to the Tigers’ roster after being cleared to play.

Women’s soccer set for VandyThe University of Memphis wom-
en’s soccer team (1-2) is set to take the field tonight against the Vanderbilt Commodores (2-2-1).
The Tigers are coming off a 3-2 loss to No. 3 Oklahoma State University Sunday at home. The Commodores also matched up against OSU ear-lier this season, falling 3-1. To date, Vanderbilt owns wins against
University of Tennessee at Martin and Middle Tennessee State University. They also lost their home opener 1-0 to Gonzaga University on Sunday.
Tonight is the fourth time the two teams have faced off, with the Tigers winning the most recent matchup 2-0 in 2011 in Nashville. The Commodores hold the all-time series lead 2-1, with their last victory against the Tigers in Sept. 2001 by a score of 2-1.
Memphis is 20-25-4 all-time versus
SEC foes, but since 2007 the Tigers have compiled an impressive 15-4-1 record, winning eight of the last nine matches by a combined score of 19-8. During that span, Memphis has shutout nine SEC opponents, while outscoring those teams 39-22.
The Tigers look to further improve on a 35-7-3 road record over the past four seasons. Following tonight’s matchup, Memphis will prepare to face Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge on Monday at 7 p.m. n
Tiger Leadership Institute is an 8-week training opportunity for current and future campus leaders. Three levels of training will be
available during the semester. Throughout all levels of the Tiger Leadership Institute, participants will have an opportunity to meet
campus and community leaders and develop strong bonds with like-minded, involved students. Graduates of all levels will also be
provided with a certi�cate by the O�ce of Student Leadership and Involvement to recognize their commitment to leadership learning and growth. Additionally, the department will provide supporting evidence of completion, as needed by graduates (i.e. con�rmation
with a potential employer)

Tigers taking their game to the east coastThe University of Memphis
men’s soccer team is heading to Greenville, S.C., for a Friday contest against the College of Charleston.
The Tigers (1-1) enter the game coming off a win against Belmont University in double overtime, and they hope to top the Cougars (2-1) on the road.
“We are a possession-based team and a very hard working team,” head coach Richie Grant said. “And so are they. This is a quality match up.”
Scoring has been a joint effort with reigning Conference USA player of the year Mark Sherrod and sophomore Chandler Gagnon both scoring two goals and sophomore Lewis Ellis chip-ping in with one goal. The Tigers are shooting an average of nine corner kicks per game.
“They have good ideas when they have the ball,” said Grant of the Cougars. The College of Charleston is averaging 12 cor-ner kicks per game while also numbering 14 shots per game.
The Tigers enter the game looking for their second win of the season. Memphis looks to carry momentum over from Monday’s overtime thriller against Belmont. The Tigers have led in both games they have played this season, but Grant said they need to work on their possession through the midfield and their finishes.
“We’ve started games very well,” Grant said. “We’ve been watching film. We just need to tighten up our team defense.”
The Cougars boast an above-average attacking team, with a .467 shots on goal average.
The Tigers have started with a tougher schedule than they have in the past, opening the season with a 4-3 loss to the University of Wisconsin.
“One thing we have is an extremely complicated non-con-ference schedule,” Grant said. He said the purpose is to boost the Tigers’ RPI ranking.
Redshirt junior Mark Sherrod, who is tied for first on the team in scoring, was injured last game while going for a header. Grant said he will be ready when Friday rolls around.
“He’s looking well,” said Grant, who has been at the head of the program for 13 seasons and has led the team to a 55-38-8 record in the month of September. “He’s having a great campaign so far this year. This is one of the best teams we’ve had in a long time.”
With Friday fast approaching, the Tigers are ready to take the field.
“They are a very diligent team,” Grant said. “We are hun-gry for success.” n
