The Michigan Daily - Monday, March 16, 1987 - Page 3 'U prof predicts rise in . African AIDS cases By PETER MOONEY Political Science Prof. Ali Mazrui said apartheid helps prevent AIDS from reaching the same severity in South Africa as in the rest of Africa, but he added that apartheid is "too high a price to pay" for this limited protection. In a lecture Friday evening in the Ford Amphitheater of the University Hospital, Mazrui said the racial and geographical separation enforced by the South African government prevents the disease from spreading as quickly as it has in other African countries. In a racially segregated society, if the disease occurs in one race, let's say whites, it is possible to prevent it from spreading to the black community because sex relations are discriminatory," Mazrui said. M A Z R U I said he believes apartheid will break down and that a revolution against that system will succeed sometime in the mid- 1990s. "A million Africans will die (in the violence and of AIDS) by that day," Mazrui said. He also foresees an increase in the spread of AIDS within South Africa once apartheid's racial separations end and interracial sex becomes more acceptable. When apartheid ends, however, the superior medical facilities and internal communications apparatus of South Africa will help authorities combat the disease more effectively than in other African, countries, Mazrui said. Mazrui, who was born in Kenya, is famous for hosting the public television series "The Africans." While filming the series he became more aware of how widespread and serious AIDS is on that continent. Inadequate medical facilities in much of Africa help perpetuate the problem, and Mazrui believes the problem will not be alleviated until more aid is given through groups such as the World Health Organization. New galaxy discovered WASHINGTON (AP) - A Michigan State University astro - nomer and her colleagues, peering past clouds of gas and the glare of starlight, say they have discovered the largest known galaxy, a giant spiral of stars 13 times as big as the Milky Way. Women's Studies major gains in popularity By STEVEN TUCH Many students enter the University hoping to graduate with degrees in profitable areas like engineering, political science, or chemistry. But in recent years, a new major has developed not many students know about - Women's Studies. The Women's Studies Program - an interdisciplinary academic unit within LSA - has been offering an undergraduate concentration since 1975. More than a dozen students are currently concentrating in Women's Studies, though most of them double major in another field. According to Associate Director of Women's Studies Peg Lourie, the program, which requires only 24 hours of advanced level courses in Women's Studies, is designed to encourage double concen - trators. Most majors require 30 or more concentrated credit hours. In addition, three cognate courses in a single discipline outside Women's Studies are required to start the concentrator toward a second major. "People aren't used to the major," said Jennifer Akfirat, an LSA senior in Women's Studies. "People don't treat it at all like other academic majors." AKFIRAT is majoring solely in Women's Studies. "I have learned to write well, think well, and approach problems analytically," she said. "With my concentration in women's studies, I have a broad future to choose from. I can basically go into any type of graduate program." Akfirat is a member of Ann Arbor City Council's rape prevention committee and an employee at the University's Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center. The Women's Studies program provides concentrators with a detailed review of inter - disciplinary research on women. In addition, the major offers the concentrators an internship. The classes are designed to encourage comparative thinking on women's experience outside mainstream American culture. Talks await mediator (Continued from Page 1) The major deficiency of the University's latest proposal, accord- ing to Haddy, is that no salary increase is included. She said that the total value of the offer is only slightly higher that the previous ones. "It's just not good enough for a three-year contract," she said. "We really, would like a two-year contract." The GEO did not change its position much, Haddy said, although it did tone down its demands for paid teaching assistant training and a spring-summer tuition waiver. In other contract related action, the general membership of the union voted Thursday night to authorize the steering committee to call for a strike vote, if necessary. pAEtRGRAPHIC5 U COPYlNG PRINTING U BNDING U FORMS alphlfgraphio Printshops Of The Future COPIES Open 7 Days GRAND OPENING SPECIAL 663-6816 715 N.
