Shapiro meets on aid for black S. Africans The Michigan Daily - Friday, November 1, 1985 - Page 5 'U' publishes AIDS pamphlet for campus (Continued from Page 1) blacks at South African universities. Shapiro was unavailable for com- ment. None of the other American officials attending the meeting committed their schools or foundations to any specific actions. But the gathering in- dicated apparent growing support for providing scholarship funds for South African blacks. The idea could provide an attractive means for colleges that have resisted selling their South African-related stockholdings to nonetheless take a strong stand against apartheid. More than 60 schools have divested themselves of some or all of such holdings, but that is just a small frac- tion of the more than 3,000 U.S. colleges and universities. THE UNIVERSITY last month divested $4.5 million in stocks in com- panies that do business in South Africa, bringing its total divestment to 99 percent of $50 million in invest- ments it held in 1983. Harvard University, which holds the most South Africa-related invest- ments among all U.S. universities, announced in September that it is format at a $1 million fund to help send black South Africans to the school. Harvard has $400 million in South Africa-related investments. Jane Sherwin, Harvard's secretary to the advisory committee on shareholder responsibility, said the school felt the fund is a more effective way to help South African blacks than divestment. HARVARD President Derek Bok was among those who attended the meetings. Another administrator at the con- ference was Frank Rhodes, president of Cornell University, which holds $147 million in South Africa-related investments. Fifty-four students were arrested at Cornell earlier this month in protests against the school's in- vestments. Rhodes was unavailable for com- ment, but a spokesperson said his university spends about $60,000 a year to send five black South African students through the school. She denied the scholarships are a sub- stitute for divestment, but said they were a means to take a stand against apartheid. By VIBEKE LAROI In response to increasing campus concern about AIDS, University Health Service this week published an education pamphlet titled "What Everyone Should Know" about the disease. The pamphlet can currently be picked up at Health Service and should be available in residence Halls, University Counseling Ser- vices, and the Office of Human Sexuality sometime next week, said Caesar Briefer, Health Service direc- tor. THE UNIVERSITY issued the pamphlet because of "conern on the part of the administration that we needed to give some information to Briefer added he feels there great deal of misinformation hysteria concerning AIDS in University community. students, faculty, and staff explaining the real facts of AIDS," he said. is a and the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn- drome breaks down the body's im- mune system, leaving it vulnerable to unusual infections and illnesses, the pamphlet states. The pamphlet also emphasizes that AIDS is not spread by casual contact and that the appearance of symptoms similar to those described in the pam- phlet does not mean that one has the disease.

"It's a method of trying to en- courage undergraduates to take a broader curriculum." Preferred Admissions is different from programs such as Inteflex, a joint venture between LSA and the medical school, because the un- dergraduate and graduate programs would not be comined and students would not graduate' in a shorter amount of time. Preferred Admissions still has to be formally accepted by the graduate schools before it is implemented, but Steiner said he has received positive feedback from several schools. "I've gotten very enthusiastic reactions from business, from engineering, from pharmacy," he said. JUDY GOODMAN, director of ad- missions at the business school, said that details still have to be worked out, but added, "I don't think it will have a negative impact on us. If anything, it will be positive for us." Terrance Sandalow, dean of the Law School, said it's too early to judge whether Preferred Admissions will be accepted at the Law School. Steiner is scheduled to make a pitch to the school's faculty today. "The program has not been adopted here. It's just under consideration," Sandalow said. "We would expect if we did it that it would not involve a great impact on the Law School at all," he added. THE PROGRAM, which Steiner said will eventually admit up to 150 students a year, is expected to make the University more attractive to potential applicants, especially those who might otherwise go to schools such as Harvard. "This is a very good recruiting tool," Steiner said. In addition, Steiner said, students who are admitted to the program will have the advantage of being able to seek advice from counselors in the professional schools they hope to at- tend. Steiner said many students believe that graduate school admissions of- ficers expect applicants to have taken courses that directly relate to their. field, but graduate school ad- ministrators say, "We want more broadly educated people." "There is a great over-emphasis on pre-professional programs by the students that just isn't there on the part of graduate schools," Steiner said.

Shultz told a news conference that intensive preparations have been un- der way on these topics since he first met Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnaze in Helsinki three months ago. Reiterating a principle American topic for discussion at next month's summit meeting of President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, Shultz said, "We want countries to stop expanding their influence by the use of armed intervention and subver- sion. Shultz, who leaves Saturday for a pre-summit meeting in4 Moscow with Shevardnadze and Gorbachev, said that in addition to discussing how to stop regional conflicts, the United States wants to have "a more con- structive relationship" with the Soviet Union. The United States, he said, hopes that the Reagan-Gorbachev meeting Nov. 19-20 in Geneva, Switzerland, will mark "a hopeful new phase" in superpower relations. REGISTRATION begins at 8:30 am.
