NEWS The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 16, 2005 - 7 MENINGITIS Continued from page 1 University. The most recent case at the Uni- versity occurred in 1995 and involved only one student, who contracted the viral form of the disease and died two years later from unrelated swelling of the brain. Meningitis vaccines cost around $100 and are available at UHS to any student who has not been previously vaccinated. Winfield said UHS has vaccinated fewer students in recent years but added that more students are receiving vaccina- tions in their hometowns. UHS currently stores enough of the vaccine to immunize 100 people, but Winfield said the University could easily obtain more. Cinti said as long as students receive a vacci- nation and take standard health precautions, the chances of contracting the disease are negligible. "I would say the risk (for the students) outside of close contact is almost zero," Cinti said. "I don't think they have to take extra precautions for this particular problem." the michigan daily AVAILABLE FALL 2006 Spacious 2 bedroom apartment, 2 blocks to campus.

Clashes between opposi- tion supporters and police have led to hun- dreds of deaths and thousands of arrests. Inspired by the events in Ethiopia and her desire to show her students how to become politically active, Demessie asked her two political science sections to help her organize an event to bring the problems with democratization to the attention of the American government and local commu- nity members. "We talk about this in lecture, so we fig- ured what better way to learn about this than to actually do it ourselves," Demessie said. The students called members of Con- gress and publicized a forum held yester- day called, "Ethiopia Emergency Briefing: Violence, Civil Unrest, and 'Democracy' in Ethiopia," which aimed to educate people on the current situation in the country. They also documented the opinions of panelists.and attendees in order to create a short film to send to members of Michigan's congressional delegation and the Congres- sional Caucus on Ethiopia and Ethiopian- Americans, Demessie said. Speakers at the forum included University graduate students who traveled to Ethiopia last year through a class in the Ford School of Public Policy and Ethiopian professors from universities across Michigan. "At a very local, campus level; we're try- ing to make a lot of noise about what is going on," Demessie said. Participants in last night's event criti- cized the Zenawi government for creating a "make-believe democracy" and ignoring the will of Ethiopian citizens. "(The people) are saying enough is enough. Let's listen to them," said panelist Meskerem Baalu Girma. In the aftermath of the election, the opposition party refused to participate in the government and organized protests throughout the country. On Nov. 1 it called for a week of civil disobedience to protest electoral fraud and the imprisonment of thousands of opposi- tion supporters. Since the protests began, 46 individuals have been killed and many more arrested. Some protestors face death if convicted on charges of treason. Event participants stressed the need for international, especially U.S., diplomatic intervention in the African nation. "Now the problem is contained within Ethiopia. Let's just give it a little bit of time and this problem will become the world's problem," Girma said. The United States has supported the Zenawi government because it has main- tained political stability in a relatively volatile area of the world and because it is also an ally in the war on terror, Demessie said. But, the opposition party would be much more effective in preventing the growth of terrorism within Ethiopia and Africa because it has the mandate of the people, she added. "In order to combat terror in the long run you have to free people," agreed panel- ist Solomon Addis Getahun, a professor at Central Michigan University. During the past week, Demessie and her students also collected more than 400 sig- natures for a petition calling on the Bush administration to use all diplomatic means possible to stop the violence and promote democracy in Ethiopia. The current situation is a turning point for Ethiopia, said event participants. After years of dictatorships, military regimes and semi-democratic rule, the country now has a chance to become fully democratic if it can receive the necessary international support, panelists and orga- nizers said. "Even though the democratic train appears to be derailed," said Sisay Asefa, a professor at Western Michigan University. "It is necessary to put it back (on track)." ' #' z $..$ >. : _ ...w.

Problems that increased before yesterday's Full Moon thankfully now diminish. (It looks like this cloud has a silver lining.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Money issues start to look a bit better today. Thank goodness. This is a good time to wrap up stuff that has been sim- mering on the back burner. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Moon is in your sign today. This gives you a little edge over every other sign. However, you might feel a bit more emotional about things. (It's no big deal.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Ideally, you need a little bit of time just for yourself today. Slip away some- where for a quiet moment if you can fit one in. (Why not do the crossword in this paper?) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A conversation with a female friend is significant today. Someone might need to confide in you. Give genuine, caring attention to anyone who needs it. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Think about your appearance today. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might have to make a compro- mise with someone today. Basically, it boils down to having different values. This could give you an entirely new slant on something. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today's Moon opposes your sign. This completely focuses your attention on partners, close friends and members of the general public. You're very involved talking to others today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Work with groups or perhaps a friend to accomplish something today. Tackle projects. If you join your efforts with others, you can make great progress now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a playful, flirtatious day! You might meet someone new. You might also make fresh plans for entertaining activities, parties or social diversions. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Home, family and domestic matters are your focus today. Talk to parents. Set aside time for family discussions. Shop for items for your home, especially read- ing and writing material. YOU BORN TODAY You have the power to magnetize what you want to you. (Be careful what you wish for.)
