And he said, 'I don't understand why' and whatever, and I said, 'Well, you know, I'm entrusted with these kids and most of them don't have a father,' and I said 'You flash money, you got the Mercedes, you got this,' so I just kind of disassociated with him'"Watson said. Martin often lurked around high school gyms after practices and games. He fol- lowed the star players, becoming close to their families and giving players cakes, pies and free meals, Watson said. "He called himself the godfather, like 'I'm the godfather to these players,"' Watson said of Martin. "So I just didn't have a good feeling for him because I had ghetto kids and kids that, they didn't have nothing. So I didn't want nobody buying nothing for my kids." In an interview between former Iowa basketball coach George Raveling and Vowels, Raveling said that when recruit- ing in the Detroit area he was advised to become friendly with (a person whose name is concealed in the transcript). By piecing together information from other interviews, Martin is speculated to be the unnamed person. In the interview, Raveling said that on occasion Martin requested tickets to Iowa games and he would leave them for him. Raveling, in a Los Angeles Times report, admitted to knowing Martin, but denied ever having given him tickets. Study helps HIV/AIDS patients By Tina Zanier For the Daily With the help of several University doctors, local citizens who are HIV- positive or have developed AIDS ca dial an anonymous hotline for personal care assistance. The University School of Social Work is conducting an HIV/AIDS research project titled "The Positive Self Care." The project is headed by Medical School Profs. Candyce Berger and Larry Gant. HIV/AIDS patients who feel they could be taking better care of them- selves can call the hotline to answer researchers' questions concerning self@ care procedures. The interviews last approximately 20-30 minutes. Berger said the project is designed to discover what may be associated with risky self-care procedures in HIV/AIDS patients. The researchers hypothesize that patients who have poor self-care skills may have suffered past difficulties, including childhood traumas and substance abuse. "For this project we are broadening our definition of risky behavior to not just social risks, but also medical risks;' Berger said. "We are looking to find why these patients are not engag- ing in positive self-care after the diag- nosis of a disease like HIV or AIDS" Researchers ask questions pertaining to patients' medical histories as well as previous personal experiences. "Some people do change their behav- ior after diagnosis and some do not. It not a study of good or bad, it is jus understanding why not" Berger said "Our goal is understanding better what the factors are so that we can eventually look to develop programs that can help and support them in engaging in posi- tive self-care behavior." Rachel Barish, a researh assistant and student at the School of Social Work, said similar research projects have been conducted on other group such as heroin users. "The studies never looked at this population; nobody has looked at HIV/AIDS patients specifically" Barrish said. "What we are interested in is if there is some connection between certain childhood experiences and subjects not being able to take care of themselves the way that they should in adulthood' Bob Warner, a worker for the Michigan AIDS hotline, said t* University study is too restrictive. "It would be interesting and mean more if it were conducted toward teen- agers, concentrating on teens that are infected and that are not infected and then look at their self-care procedures, how well they take care of themselves and why;' Wamner said. Research assistants will be gathering data from HIV/AIDS patients i Washtenaw County and neighborit counties until Oct. 15.
