Speaker
condemns
;Israeli
militancy
By LAWRENCE ROSENBERG
The United States has changed its
policy of dealing with conflict be-
tween Palestinians and Israelis from
a "stand-offish" mediating role to
one of increased militancy, said the
second speaker a week-long discus-
sion series on Palestine and the
Middle East.
Stephen Green, an a u -
thor/researcher and freelance writer
who has been published in The Na-
tion and The New York Times,
spoke about "Taking sides: Amer-
ica's Secret Relationship with a
Militant Israel" to more than 50
people last night in Rackham Amp-
itheater.
The series of talks is sponsored
by the Palestinian Solidarity Com-
mittee.
Green said he feared the possible
consequences of another Arab-Israeli
conflict. "The next Arab-Israeli
conflict will not be fought in the
*deserts - it will be fought in the
cities, resulting in thousands of
civilian deaths. The Middle East is
probably the world's most dangerous
tinderbox."
He cited Lebanon and the current
Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the
West Bank as relatively small
examples of how devastating a full-
fledged Arab-Israeli war could be.
Green is also concerned about the
increased build-up of nuclear
weapons in the Middle East. "The
United States has a long-standing
tradition of not wanting nuclear
weapons to spread around the world,"
he said. "Now we've let Israel get
nukes that can be utilized in a Mid-
dle Eastern context."
Green added that the effectiveness
* of the role of the United States in
Israel has deteriorated. "We can't be
both the mediator and the armer of
Israel," he said.
However, Green's outlook for the
future of the Middle East was opti-
mistic. "Fifty years from now, I see
an Israel at peace with their neigh-
=bors with a joint car production
implant with Syria, a four-lane high-
way into Jordan, and a Palestinian
state."

Dukakis leads delegate count
By RYAN TUTAK
The Michigan Student Assembly
officially transferred the control of
its external power last night from
the old representatives to the new by
appointing chairs to 12 of its 13
committees.
But the nomination for the most
debated chair - the Minority Affairs
Committee chair - was tabled by a
16-14 vote because one of the candi-
dates, new Rackham school
representative Chris McAuley, was
- absent from the meeting.
MORE THAN 20 constituents
came to support the other candidate
and current chair of the Minority
Affairs Committee Delro Harris, an
LSA sophomore.
Many representatives from
minority groups on campus - in-
cluding the Black Student Union, the
University of Michigan's Asian
Student Coalition, the Asian
American Association, and the
United Coalition Against Racism -
endorsed Harris because they said he
is equally aware of all minority is-
sues on campus and has needed
experience on the assembly.
Art school senior Curt Kim said
he is impressed with Harris because
he is equally concerned about other
minority groups as well as Blacks.
"THERE'S a need in that posi-
tion for someone who is sensitive to
and and has a strong position on be-'
half of minority students even when
it's not popular," said business
school graduate and BSU executive
board member Todd Shaw.
Harris' position entails commu-
nicating with campus minority
groups about MSA's agtivities, as
well as informing MSA about those
groups' events.
But some MSA representatives
said Harris has only done half of his
job by not sufficiently informing
MSA of his work with minority
groups outside the assembly.
"MY CONCERN is that the
minority community knows he's
doing a lot. But he's not conveying
it to MSA," said LSA representative
Zach Kittrie, a sophomore.
"Delro's presence at (MSA)
steering committee meetings were
not regular (this term)," said LSA
sophomore Sara Riordan. "But if
that's a weakness that Delro has dis-
played in the past, I think that he
can correct it in the future."
Riordin, former chair of the as-
sembly's communications commit-
tee, said that chairing a committee is
"a big job," and Harris may not have
had time to fulfill all the responsi-
bilities of his position.
SHE. SAID she would vote for
Harris next week but would like to
see the committee co-chaired so the
responsibilities can be shared.
In other nominations, LSA ju-
niors Christine Fulton, Lisa Russ,
and Susan Sharman were appointed
co-chairs of the Women's Issues
Committee; LSA sophomore Sara
Riordin to the Student Rights
Committee; Kittrie to the External
Relations Committee; LSA junior
Jennifer Kohn to the Academic Af-
fairs Committee; LSA sophomores
Brian Bard and Tina Meldrum to the
Peace and Justice Committee; LSA
junior Robert Bell to Communica-
tions.
with Colorado,
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Michael Dukakis won the
Wisconsin primary last night, quelling Jesse Jackson's
momentum in their grind-it-out struggle for the 1988
Democratic presidential nomination.
The Massachusetts governor also celebrated a narrow
victory in Colorado caucuses marked by a slow and
controversial count, adding to his slender lead in the
competition for delegate to the Democratic National
Convention.
Returns from 30 percent of the Wisconsin precincts
showed Dukakis gaining 47 percent of the vote, to 31
=percent for Jackson. Gore trailed with 16 percent, while
Simon had 5 percent.
In Colorado, the Democratic caucuses were held on
Monday night, but significant returns were not reported
Wisconsin wins
until yesterday by the state Democratic Party. The slow
count brought sharp criticism from Jackson, who
accused state Democratic chair Buie Seawell of being
"biased and politically unethical" and "deliberately
controlling the process" by remaining as party chair
after publicly supporting Dukakis.
But Wisconsin loomed as a far more important test
than Colorado in the see-saw Democratic struggle, par-
tially because it offered more delegates -81 compared
with Colorado's 45. Democratic rivals invested heavily
in time and money in their bid to claim the support of
Wisconsin's large blue collar vote and gain fresh mo-
mentum for the rest of the primary season.
Dukakis led Jackson in the national delegate count,
692 to 683. It takes 2,081 to claim the Democratic
nomination.
'U' AIDS
authority
stresses
education
By DANNY WONG
Calling AIDS a "novel plague," School of
Public Health Dean June Osborn said yesterday
that people should understand the AIDS virus and
treat its victims with compassion.
"The key is not to react to AIDS like our an-
cestors did with the plague, but instead to re-
spond with compassion," Osborn said to about
50 faculty members, public policy experts, and
students in the University's School of Business.
Osborn, a nationally renowned expert on
AIDS, said, "We know how the disease spreads.
Knowledge to avoid disease is as powerful as any
vaccine."
Osborn said more than 57,000 people in the
United States have died from AIDS. That number
does not include carriers of the virus.
- She said this estimate is expected to rise five-
fold by 1991.
Although homosexual men are at the highest
risk for contracting the disease, the numbers of
heterosexual men and women is increasing dra-
matically, she said.
Osborn discussed scientific facts associated
with the contraction and transmission of the
virus. The only proven ways of contracting the
disease are "sex, blood, and birth," she said.
Dispelling AIDS myths, she said people can-
not contract the disease from mosquitos, casual
kissing, sharing toothbrushes, or toilet seats.
Osborn said the disease has no cure and is al-
ways fatal.
Osborn said so far the greatest strides have
been made in the prevention of the spreading of
AIDS - pinpointing means of transmission and
offering methods of prevention.

"We're thrilled for Bill and de-
lighted to have a colleague win such
an award," said Boylan, who called
Bolcom a "versatile composer."
Bolcom's many other works in-
clude symphonies, string quartets,
operas and concertos, but he said he
has fun writing jazz, ragtime, and
South American music.
"I have my foot in both worlds
and I write for now," he said refer-
ring to his musical taste.
Bolcom was born in Seattle in
1938. He studied at the University of
Washington, Mills College and the
Paris Conservatoire. He received a
doctorate of music from Stanford
University in 1964.
Before joining the University
faculty in 1973, Bolcom taught at
the University of Washington and at
Queens College, was visiting critic
at the Yale University Drama
School, and was the composer in
residence at New York University.
He was recently resident and
composer with the Detroit Sym-
phony.
Since coming to the University,
he has taught composition as well as
a class called "Words and Music for
Poets and Composers" with English
Prof. Richard Tillinghast. He also
led a seminar called "Music Business
of the Composer."
He currently teaches composition
part-time.
Bolcom said he came to the Uni-
versity because of the music depart-
ment's welcoming atmosphere; he
made good friends with the music
staff, and he found Ann Arbor
"impossibly pleasant."
Bolcom has recorded numerous
albums of American popular music
with his wife, Joan Morris, a mezzo-
soprana and adjunct assistant profes-
sor at the University School of Mu-
sic. The couple tours America and
Canada, performing 40 to 50 con-
certs a year.
Bolcom saidtouring makes up a
large part of his career. "She sings
classic American popular songs, the
ones everyone knows, and I play the
piano." The couple will have two
albums out in May.
Rama Kotesnikov, a student of
Bolcom's, said he was impressed
with Bolcom's award. "I'm very
proud to be his student and I think
he deserves it," Kotesnikov said.
Bolcom said winning the
Pulitzer prize probably won't affect
his life too much. He said the past
few days have been hectic because of
all the publicity he has gotten.
"Nothing has changed...I just had a
weird weekend."
