6 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, March 7, 1986 Women ca From AP and UPI BOSTON- The virus that causes AIDS has been found for the first time in genital secretions of women, giving a clue to how the deadly disease could be spread from women to men, researchers said yesterday. "We have suspected for some time that females can sexually transmit the AIDS virus," said Dr. Markus Vogt, who headed one of two research teams that made the discovery. "This finding at least provides us with a missing link, that is, that the virus can exist in the secretion and might be transmitted." THE RESEARCHERS that the discovery' does not prove that the AIDS virus, HTLV-3, can be transmitted from from females to males through sexual intercourse. But they said the fin- dings should make hetersexuals avoid casual sex. "The heterosexual community should be con- cerned and prudent in their choice of sexual par- carry AIDS virus tners," said Dr. Martin Hirsch, who worked with Vogt on one research team at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. "Contact with prostitutes or anonymous sexual activity, either homosexual or heterosexual, may be playing Russian roulette." The Massachusetts General Hospital team and one at the University of California in San Fran- cisco each found the AIDS virus in the vaginal secretions of four high-risk women. Their results were published in the British journal Lancet. THE WOMEN were considered at high risk for AIDS because they tested positively for the AIDS antibody in their blood, meaning they had been exposed to the virus that causes the disease. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome, in which the body's ability to fight disease is destroyed, has been primarily limited to homosexual and bisexual males and intravenous drug abusers in the United States and Europe. In Africa the disease has been found in equal numbers of men and women and studies have suggested the disease was spread among heterosexuals by prostitutes. In New York, an African virus that causes an AIDS-like illness in pigs may have been present is some American AIDS patients and could be a con- tributing cause of human AIDS infections, accor- ding to a new study. Evidence of infection with African swine fever virus, or ASFV, was found in nine of 21 American AIDS patients tested, and in only one of 16 healthy Americans, according to a study to be published Saturday in the Lancet, a British medical journal. If future experiments prove the existence of a link between African swine fever and AIDS, it would mean that doctors now searching for a cure for AIDS are aiming at the wrong target. University approves AIDS guidelines (Continued from Page W preted, as if legislation." She added that her task force has accepted the "thrust" of the new recommen- dations. Associate Director for Housing Education John Heidke, another member of the task force, called the guidelines "very reasonable," and said that "they are designed to protect individual rights as well as the rights of the community. They are very well thought out; very prudent, that the University should accept by and large." Heidke added that the guidelines will be refined as researchers learn more about the disease. He said he could not envision a scenario, though where they would not be used. Heidke will participate in the University's education process about the disease, which will utilize films and speakers. "We are in the process of planning them right now. They will officially commence when residence hall staff return in August," he said. Ruth Addis, co-chair of the Univer- sity task force for sexual orientation said she personally views the guidelines as a "very good begin- ning." "I'm looking forward to seeing what the specific implementations of it will look like. Since they are very broad, they can either encompass many areas or exclude some things, depen- ding on how they are interpreted," Addis said. "I applaud the efforts of the AIDS task force. I think that the University of Michigan is doing more than most universities in attempting to deal with this subject before specific examples come to head," Addis con- tinued. Several members of the local gay community could not be reached for comment, and Nancy Blum of the Lesbian and Gay Males Advocates Of- fice declined to comment without looking at the guidlines more thoroughly. In the past,. an Ann Arbor AIDS support group. Action Against AIDs, suggested separate housing for AIDS patients, demanded that the Univer- sity sever ties with insurance com- panies screening for AIDS, and demanded more funding for AIDS research on campus. Students outraged at Marcos' welcome (Continued from Page 1) regime. Most American students took the position that the Constitution gives citizens the right to assemble and ex- press themselves freely. "We have to let the Nazi's have their marches, so I guess we have to let him have his parade," said business school senior Dan Zielke. Maryalyce Glionna, an LSA junior, said that the U.S. made a mistake in even allowing Marcos into the coun- try. "They shouldn't have given him an absolute safe haven," she said, "I -. - m....mm..-mm-m------....... COOKIES NIGHT OWLS TAKE A STUDY BREAK!

The Reagan Ad- ministration has referred such an in- vestigation to U.S. courts. HOWEVER, she said that the parade couldn't be held on the mainland, because there are too many people, especially students, who would lead demonstrations against the parade. Graduate student Chuck Anderson was not only opposed to granting Marcos a safe haven in the U.S., "On general principal, I'm opposed to giving safe haven to a despot dictator who's had a history of oppressing his people," he said. Andersonadded that it was a safe move for President Reagan to make, nonetheless. "It backed up American policy," he said. Anthropology student Andrew Williams agreed that the move by Reagan to give safe haven to Marcos is consistent with American policy. "I suppose if it happened in South Africa, we'd let Botha stay here." Anderson and Williams also compared the situation with that of former President Samoza of Nicaragua, who came to the U.S. after fleeing his country, in 1978. SOME students voiced opposition to letting Marcos remain in the U.S. "I think we ought to give him back and have him tried because he stole from the Filipino people," said LSA senior Charles Korsal. Anderson also said he would like to see Marcos tried before a world court for human rights violations. Even though students may not be pleased with the presence of Marcos in Hawaii, they are hopeful that now the Philippines will have a chance to establish democracy. Students' concerns ranged from the economic situation of the Philippines to the expectations of the Filipino people.

"It took 20 years for Marcos to bring about these things to the Philippines. They won't be solved in one month - it will take years." Carpio said that she did not expect General Fidel Ramos or Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile to defect to current President Corazon Aquino's camp last week. FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 120 S.

CENTER OPEN EACH DAY IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Gorbachev alters leadership MOSCOW - Mikhail Gorbachev closed the 27th party congress yester- day with a restructuring of the Kremlin apparatus that brings Am- bassador Anatoly Dobrynin home from Washington and promotes a woman, Alexandra Biryukova, into the inner circle of power for the first time in 25 years. Gorbachev, the Communist Party's general secretary, also announced new members of the ruling Politburo, five new Central Committee secretaries, and a new Central Committee that reflects the changes in major party and economic posts since the death of Leonid Brezhnev in 1982. Dobrynin, 66, has been Soviet ambassador to the United States for 25 years. He is one of 11 people, five of them new, named to the secretariat, which is in charge of day-to-day affairs in the Soviet Union. Dobrynin's portfolio was not announced, but it is assumed he will be working in foreign policy. A successor to Dobrynin in Washington was not immediately announced. Biryukova, 57, a trade union official, was named to the secretariat in the first time a woman has been elevated to the top leadership in 25 years. The last woman in the leadership position, Yekaterina Furtseva, was culture minister and full member of the Politburo from 1957 until her removal in 1961. Filipino rebels seek amnesty MANILA, Philippines - Communist rebel units in the northern Philip- pines have expressed interest in surrendering to the government of President Corazon Aquino in exchange for amnesty, the state-run news agency reported yesterday. Officials on Bataan peninsula said rebels led by Crisostomo Ibarra of the New People's Army, the military wing of the outlawed Communist Party of the Philippines, "had sent feelers to surrender," the Philippine News Agency said. Col. Lorenzo Mateo, commander of the Philippine Constabulary for the central Luzon island region "confirmed that several NPA groups, par- ticularly the one headed by Ibarra, have sent feelers to lay down their arms, 'the agency said. The report came as government officials said an official cease-fire, which began shortly after Aquino replaced Ferdinand Marcos on Feb. 25, was holding. Senate panel rejects budget WASHINGTON - The Senate Budget Committee rejected President Reagan's fiscal 1987 budget yesterday, agreeing that his formula for domestic spending cuts, a continued military buildup and no general tax increases will fail to meet a required $144 billion deficit target. The vote was 16-6 against the president's plan, with only six of the panel's 12 Republican's voting in favor of it. Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) the committee chairman, set the mostly symbolic vote in an apparent' effort to avoid prolonged partisan wrangling over the president's spending plan, which has attracted vir- tually no support on Capitol Hill. Domenici voted in favor of the budget, however. The panel set the stage for Thursday's action when it agreed on Wed- nesday to adopt a set of economic and spending assumptions from congressional economists. The non-partican Congressional Budget Office estimated that Reagan's budget is about $16 billion short of the deficit target. Under those circum- stances, the outcome of the committee's vote was all but certain. Fire guts offices of group seeking to release Mandela JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - A fire yesterday swept through the offices of a group seeking the release of jailed black nationalist Nelson Mandela. A group spokesman who said he suspected police sparked the blaze was later arrested. The fire, which began of undetermined origins about 4 a.m., gutted the downtown offices of the Release Mandela Campaign, which is seeking freedom for the African National Congress leader who is serving a life term for treason. Aubrey Mokoena, spokesman for the Release Mandela Campaign, charged the fire was caused by a bomb, which ripped chunks of plaster from the ceilings and walls of the rundown two-room office. Mokoena, who said several files appeared to have been removed from the office, told reporters he suspected police set the bomb in retaliation for a bomb attack Tuesday on Johannesburg police headquarters at John Voster Square. Reagan to address Contra aid WASHINGTON - White House officials, acknowledging a lack of sup- port, made plans yesterday for President Reagan to use a TV speech to bolster his sputtering campaign for $100 million in aid to Nicaraguan rebels before the House votes on the plan. The aid request has fared badly in a series of preliminary votes on Cap- tol Hill. White House spokesman Larry Speakes declared: "We think it's all too important for us to back away from this at any time. We will stick with it." Officials said a decision had tentatively been made for Reagan to take his case to the public televised address tentatively set on the evening of March 16. The impact of a similar speech last week on defense fell short of White House hopes. "The message hasn't gotten through in our opinion," Speakes told reporters, "and that's why we haven't gotten a lot of support."
