'Action Against AIDS' presents resolution (Continued from Page 1) Saline). VIRGINIA NORDBY, director of Affirmative Action, heads the task force with officials from personnel, health services, and housing offices. Although only a month old, the task force hopes to form an effective policy to deal with AIDS at the University. Although Shapiro described the University's task force as "taking; initiative," the members of Action Against AIDS said that such a task force cannot meet. their concerns. "Such a top level of management can't deal with a problem without more input," said Jeanette Shy, Ac- tion Against AIDS member. While "AIDS is definitely here in Ann Arbor,"there is confusion over who is fighting the battle, and from where, according to Shy. DESPITE the fact that Action Against AIDS is demanding more funding for AIDS research that it says is "virtually non-existent" now, University Vice Provost for Medical Affairs George Zuidema said after the meeeting that there is research on the immune system being conducted at the University. "The money allocated at the federal level is very substan- tial," Zuidema added. Richard Kennedy, the University's vice president for state relations, also criticized Action Against AIDS's per- ception of what is being done about AIDS. '.'They are somewhat naive in understanding what we are doing in terms of education and research," said Kennedy. U.S. The Michigan Dily - Friday, January 17, 1986 -Page 5 AIDS cases rise 84% ATLANTA (UPI) - The number of AIDS cases in the United States jumped 84 percent in 1985, and the number of AIDS cases linked to blood transfusions more than tripled, federal health officials said yestery. Along with the increase in AIDS infections, the national Centers for Disease Control said the fatality rate from the disease, for which there is no cure or effective treatment, rose to 51 percent. THE DEATH rate for AIDS victims dianosed before July 1984 was even greater, increasing to 79 percent. The CDC said 59 percent of the children who have AIDS die of the infection. Cases of AIDS related to blood transfusions increased from 56 in 1984 to 171 last year, despite the implementaton of a blood screening program that identifies those infected with the AIDS virus. The CDC said the impact of the blood screening program and deferral of those at increased risk probably weren't reflected in national AIDS reporting because of the long period between infection with the virus and development of the disease. "We would hope to see a decrease in the next two to three years," CDC said. The incubation period for the disease can be as long as seven years. the CDC said, and "the possibility of longer incubation periods cannot be excluded." Since June 1, 1981, there have been 16,458 AIDS cases reported to the CDC, including 16,227 adults and 231 children. Of those, 8,361 have died. "The number of cases reported each six-month period continues to increase, although not exponentially, as evidenced by the lengthening case-doublingInes," the CDC said. JU' Council continues work on code, decides on jury Dance Theatre Studio (Continued from Page 1) view code was ready to replace the, University's current rules. Ad- Wninistrators have said the current rules are largely ineffective. X'I DON'T feel close enough to the day-to-day operations of the Univer- sity to make that sort of judgement," she said. "I'd respect the recommen- dations of the president." Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) agreed with Varner. However, there is no guarantee that the council's draft will be approved by the regents. REGENT Deane Baker (R-Ann Ar- bor) objected to the council's plan to leave much of the rule making for non-violent actions up to the in- dividual units of the University. According to the council's plan, it would set general guidelines by mid- May and allow the various branches of the University to set specific rules. One such guideline "would probably Sbe the right to due process," said Prof. Ann Hartman, a member of the council. The council would also set rules which pertain to "generic" non- violent crimes - those which apply to more than one unit of the University, such as theft. 'BAKER SAID the council agreed to draft an entire code and anything less would mean "abdicating their agreement." He refused to comment, however, on what action he might take. Later yesterday, the University Council continued to work on their emergency procedures. So far, coun- cilmembers have agreed that once a violent crime, including arson, has been committed, a faculty member or adminstrator serving as the University's central coordinator would take some action. For example, the coordinator might * bar a student from a classroom. The sanction, however, would be the minimum necessary to make sure the accused doesn't pose a threat to others at the University. THE COORDINATOR would not be able to suspend or expel a student as previous drafts of the code allowed. And the student would have a right to appeal the severity of the coor- dinator's punishment. Within a 10-day period, the Univer- sity would have to hold a hearing or the charges against the student would be dropped. Yesterday, councilmembers decided the hearing board should be made up of one faculty member, one administrator, and one student. The 'administration, in its last code proposal two years ago, would have formed a hearing board comprised completely of students. The students would be selected by the University 'president. ACCORDING to the council, MSA would present a pool of students, SACUA would offer a pool of faculty, and the president would submit names of administrators to the coun- cil at the beginning of every year. The council would then randomly ,elect a series of 3-member hearing boards which would be alternately used with every hearing. The accused would have the right to challenge any member of the board as being biased. Councilmembers also agreed yesterday that a hearing could be avoided if the University and the ac- cused agreed, for example, that the University would not pursue the case if the accused agreed to counseling. AT YESTERDAY'S regents meeting, the board agreed to invest about $5.8 million in the Common Hello ... is that right? The Daily? The Michigan Daily? 'Carries Bloom County ... THE BLOOM COUNTY? (,' Fund's South Africa-Free Equity Fund. The fund, said Norm Herbert, the University's investment officer, is a pool of investments in companies that do not do business in South Africa. The Common Fund, Herbert said, is an organization which allows colleges and universities to pool their resour- ces. Previously, the money was in- vested in the Common Fund's equity pool. The pool, however, included in- vestments in companies that do business in South Africa. The regents also yesterday voted to observe Martin Luther King's birth- day on campus and urged "all admin- strators and faculty to be as thought- ful as possible to those who wish to ob- serve this day in some special way."
