But what if we don't want it? Monday, one of men's college basketball's most visible coaches announced he would not accept his salary this year because his team did not meet, his high standards. The sum, a staggering $250,000, would be kept by the school instead of going to the coach. Now if you had one guess as to who might do such a noble deed, whom would you choose? Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski? After all, the Blue Devils lost to North Carolina last week and stumbled out of the top 10. Nope. How about Oregon coach Ernie Kent? His Ducks were once a top-10 team, but now the team is struggling in the weak Pac-10 conference and desperately need wins if they hope to make the NCAA tourney. Wrong again. Try Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight. Yes, that Bobby Knight. The Bobby Knight who once threw a chair onto the basketball court during a game, the Bobby Knight who "head butted" his own son on the sideline, the Bobby Knight who "choked" one of his players during practice, the Bobby Knight who shot his friend in a hunting acci- dent - that's the Bobby Knight known to most of America. But there's another side of Robert Montgomery Knight - the former Indiana coach why now calls Lubbock, Texas his home - that rarely gets mentioned in the media. The volatile coach donated thousands of dollars out of his pocket to theilibrary at Indiana University throughout his career as the Hoosier's coach. His gradua- tion rate is impeccable. Knight prepares his athletes not just for the NBA, but also for life after basketball. He is first and foremost a teacher, then a basketball coach.' So why has Knight's kind gesture been received with such surprise? It all goes back to the image of Knight crafted by the media over his tumultuous career. Despite his 800-plus wins (fourth highest total in men's college basketball history) and three national championships, Knight is known more for his kicking and screaming than for his motion offense and stingy defense. Remember the whole "choking" incident? Neil Reed' - the bastard redheaded stepchild of the Indiana back- court --claimed Knight assaulted him in practice. The former IU player told the media the legendary coach choked him in an afternoon practice and that assistant coaches had to pry the fiery coach away from Reed.' When a video tape of the incident surfaced, Knight was' put on the hot seat. Surg the video showed that Reed lied about the assistant voachesaing t com9 to his rescue, but that was neversnentioned o SportsCenter.The media instead focused on the actual "choking," even though the video was hardly conclusive. Did you ever notice that. every single news network played the infamous scene in slow motion? By slowing down the video, it gave the mis- leading impression Knight had his hand on Reed's throat for several seconds. Not once was the clip played at reg- ular speed - which would have clearly showed that Knight pushed Reed for a mere second. Knight's announcement comes at a time when several men's college basketball coaches are under fire for vio- lating NCAA rules. With Georgia coach Jim Harrick. suspended and St. Bonaventure fired its coach,, 'it's refreshing to see good news in college hoops. Ask anyone in the sport and they'll tell you Knight has always run a clean program. For the past quarter century, Robert Montgomery Knight has been depicted as a ruthless dictator who abuses his players both physically and emotionally. Since his move to Texas Tech, media coverage of "The General" has been more positive than in previous years, with ESPN commentators DickVitale and Jay Bilas reg- ularly commending Knight for his work on and off the court. The Texas Tech Red Raiders got off to a great start for their 2002-2003 season, winning 10 of their first 11 games. The tide turned with the start of the Big 12 season where the team could only muster a 6-10 conference record. Now,at 16-11, Texas Tech is on the bubble for the big dance. Everyone should be rooting for the Red Raiders if they are able to get into the tourney. Can you imagine Texas Tech winning it all? Former Indiana President and current NCAA President Myles Brand would have to hand over the national championship tro- phy to the man he fired three years ago. The image would resonate on ESPN classic forever. Perhaps Pm biased about Knight. I was born and raisedin Southern Indiana, where college basketball is a religion and Bobby Knight was God. Living in Bloomington for several years undoubtedly had an effect on my view of college basketball's most contro- versial coach, but it's hard to ignore the facts, Until I see another coach give up their salary and graduate all their players, I'm sticking with Bobby Knight as the best coach in sports today - angry chair tossing and all.

HPV is becoming a major health sexually experi- issue for college-aged students, and ople will have an especially for women. According to said Karlie Stanton, information published by UHS, up spokeswoman for the CDC's National Center for One out of ev HIV, STD and TB has genital herp Prevention, of those infected "We can't have the disease really pre- dict how - n u m be r sH will turn out, but with HIV, for the past 10 years it's been a steady 40,000 new infections each year since 1990. Half are in people under 25," Stanton added. Although most students are aware of the threat of contracting HIV, many do not realize that other some- times-incurable STDs are becoming more and more common. The fastest spreading STDs are herpes, the human papilloma virus - which can cause genital warts - and chlamydia," said University Health Service Sexual Health Educator Traci Jarrett. According to information pub- lished by the American Social Health Association, one out of every five Americans has genital herpes, yet at least 80 percent are unaware they have contracted the disease. One reason that herpes and HPV may be so common is because they to 43 percent of sexually-active col- I ery five Americans es.

"Particularly on men you can't see genital warts. The warts can develop inside the vagina or anus and you'd never see them," Jarrett said. Up to 70 percent of those infected may not even know they have contracted the disease. If left untreated, several types of HPV can cause cervical cancer in women. Nina Clark, a University Hospital clinical associate professor in infec- tious diseases, said STDs can also facilitate the contraction of other diseases. "Chlymadia, gonorrhea and syphilis can facilitate the transmis- sion of HIV If someone is unaware they have chlamydia and have sex with someone with HIV, they are more likely to contract HIV than someone who is not infected," Clark said. .............. WHAT'S NEWS IN ENTERTAINMENT Information published by the National Institute for Health estimates that two-thirds of all STDs are con- tracted by people under 25 years of age. Stanton said that age itself is not necessarily a risk factor, but does cor- relate with other determinants of health status such as access to health care or health care -seeking behavior. She added that some students may not be aware of contracting an STD or be able to treat it if they can .not afford health care. Additional NIH publications sug- gest that one reason for the high numbers of college students with STDs is that students have become sexually active earlier and married later, allowing them more sexual partners than was the norm in previ- ous decades. "If someone has had multiple partners, two or more in the last year, their risk increases," said Robert Winfield, director of UHS. Stanton added that young people increase their risk of acquiring STDs not only by having multiple partners but also by engaging in unprotected sex and for women, by choosing partners older than them- selves. She said that the only way to be sure not to contract an.STD is to practice abstinence. "Our prevention messages are abstinence; then, if you are sexually active, to be in a monogamous rela- tionship with an uninfected partner and for others who are sexually active to use latex condoms consis- tently and correctly," Stanton said. Jarrett said that students some- times opt not to use condoms because discussing it can be awk- ward. "People are capable of talking about sex in all types of settings but when it's one-on-one contact, it gets sticky," she said.. She added that she's noticed that on college cam- puses students often think being in a relationship for two or three weeks makes them ready to stop using pro- tection. "By taking off the physical barri- er or condom, people think they can take down the emotional barrier too, essentially saying 'I'm ready to be in this relationship,"' Jarrett said. This can be incredibly risky if stu- dents haven't discussed their sexual history with their partners or have not been recently tested for STDs. Jarrett added that communication is an integral part of safe sex. "People make a lot of assumptions based on appearance or socio-eco- nomics, but you can never know for sure unless you talk to them about their sexual history," Jarrett said. Although most students associate condom use with intercourse, Clark said that condoms are necessary even when engaging in oral sex.
