caseph researches health tconcern (Continued from Page 1) David Schottenfeld said Joseph's background as a social scientist and as an epidemiologist lends a fresh perspective to her work and contributes to the excellence of her teaching, for which she has won several awards. She has also conducted research in a variety of interdisciplinary medical and social issues. Now, her emphasis lies in the research she is doing on AIDS. Some say there are two epidemics - an epidemic of AIDS and an epidemic of fear. This fear, Joseph said, has forced about 5 percent of the gay men in her study to become celibate. "This epidemic is not just a } medical problem," Joseph said. 40 percent of the population she studied knows someone who has been diagnosed with or died from AIDS. "It's provocative to see how the community is wrestling with this problem," she said. "The massive upheaval of AIDS and the threat of AIDS is probably the most unusual and important threat occurring in American society." Joseph receives high praise from her colleagues. "I honestly think Jill is one of the brightest people I know," said one co-worker, a graduate student who wished not to be identified. "She knows an er~ormous amount in terms of the methods of scientific research and about the substance of the field of social epidemiology. She brings both a concern with human aspects and attends to the scientific rigor to b able to do a project well." Joseph began teaching in the School of Public Health in 1983, See JOSEPH, Page 5 The Michigan Doily - Wednesday, April 1, 1987 - Page 3 MSA installs new officers, members By MARTHA SEVETSON LSA juniors Ken Weine and Rebecca Felton were officially installed as the new president and vice-president of the Michigan Student Assembly last night. In addition, the 26 students elected as representatives from 11 of the University's schools and colleges became assembly members. The officers and representatives were chosen in the campus-wide elections last month. The remaining 24 assembly seats are filled by representatives elected to 18-month terms in the 1986 election, and will be relinquished in November. MSA President Weine said the new staggered election process has eased the transition for new members. Weine said his primary goal now is to increase assembly contact with students. "I want to see the assembly reaching out rather than fighting within," Weine said. The assembly will broadcast its meetings over campus radio station WJJX and is setting up a conference of the University's MTS computer system. Both moves are designed to improve constituent contact. In other decisions, MSA passed a resolution supporting the Graduate Teaching Organization's tuition, salary, and class size demands and unanimously allocated $350 to BAM III.

The Kuhns say they attend all Wolverine baseball, basketball, and football games, and neither is an alumnus. Brinke-rhoff to retire GE0'U' (Continued from Page 1) compensation (salary plus tuition waiver) to TAs, the GEO said. A strike by the GEO would be illegal, according to a Michigan law that prohibits public employees from striking. As to the effects of a strike on students, little is known at this point due to the University's refusal to comment on contract issues. Many departments have just begun to think about contingency plans. English Department head John Knott said LSA departments are required tohave such plans formulated by the end of the week. Neither LSA Dean Peter Steiner nor Carolyn Copeland, the LSA associate dean who is handling this issue for LSA, were available for comment. Jean Carduner, Romance Lan- to return to talks guages Chairman, has just begun to make strike plans. "The number of classes we have taught by TAs - especially in the elementary language courses - is huge," Carduner said. "Trying to reassign (those classes) to lecturers would be terribly difficult." Haddy said if there was a strike, TAs would picket, but not block off, buildings to make people aware of the strike. Carduner compared the sentiment this year to that in 1975, when the TAs struck for a month over many of this year's issues. "In '75, there was a more militant feeling in favor of the union," he said. "There was more momentum then." (Continued from Page 1) and outside the University com- munity has been unusually varied. Starting as an assistant manager of the Chicago Daily news travel bureau, he moved to director of industrial relations at Argus Cameras, then to Chemotronics International, and then to the University in 1962. After beginning his University career in plant operations, he eventually moved from business operations to his current position. Brinkerhoff has a bright outlook for the University's financial future. "As long as the different departments keep operating within their budgets, we shouldn't experience any financial difficulties in the near future," he said. Brinkerhoff added that he feels both human and mechanical re- sources at the University are being utilized about as well as possible.. NAACP plans open forum on racism (Continued ft om Page 1) display, it calls more attention to this than the group which holds a dialogue. Other groups have done some very good things," said Nelson. Nelson said the NAACP has met with the administration on an ongoing basis in the past, and that different groups were working for the same basic goals. "We're not in competition with each other; we are working toward the same objectives," said Nelson. One member from the Ann Arbor NAACP chapter was present at the negotiation sessions held between UCAR and BAM student leaders and the administration last week, but no student NAACP members attended. Nelson said that the NAACP will begin to sponsor more events, beginning this Sunday with an open forum on improving relations between minority students and faculty and staff.
