The Michigan Daily - Thursday, December 1, 1988 - Page 3 Just passing by Bursley debt still source of confusion BY STACEY GRAY Seven months after the Bursley Hall snack bar/store closed down af- ter accumulating an almost $3,000 debt, residents and housing officials are beginning to discuss where the responsibility for the debt lies. John Giaimo, one of last year's managers, pointed to account man- ager Marc Peot for mismanaging the snack bar's funds last year. But Peot, who graduated last April and is currently living in Rhode Island, said the snack bar had been losing money for years. Until two years ago, the snack bar used to run the Coke machines located in the dorm's front lobby. These machines - now run by the Bursley Council - brought in about $3,000 a year said Peot. The eating establishments in the North Campus Commoms, built four years ago, also took business away from the snack bar, he said. As manager, Peot was responsi- ble for store funds, but the money was not lost dishonestly. "I do feel responsible for the money that was lost last year. In ef- fect that $2,600 was part of my re- sponsibility," said Peot. "There was no real way to save the store, it couldn't have survived." "I am not an accounting student... There was a lot involved that I didn't understand. I did the best I could but the accounts are readable by very few people," said Peot. One of the mysteries of the mis- sing funds is a check made out to Peot for $296.83 to cover the cost of T-shirts purchased for the store. Giaimo had been under the im- pression that the T-shirts had cost $50 and not $296. After speaking with Peot early last week, Giaimo changed his mind, "I was~misin- formed about the T-shirts. I should have contacted Marc before I said anything." Dave Fausch, a resident advisor at Bursley, said it was general knowl- edge that last year's six managers gave themselves Christmas bonuses. But Peot said the managers have tra- ditionally split $1,000 from the ac- count. Last year they received less than usual, he said. Peot spoke with Bursley Hall Building Director Caroline Gould, a- bout how the money ought to be replaced. The two came up with some ideas but said they were not ready to reveal them. "I'm willing to compromise," said Peot, who is planning to dis- cuss the future of the snack bar with the current president of Bursley Council. Some Bursley residents, tired of waiting for a snack bar, are begin- ning to formulate their own plans. "I want to open a Restaurant Op- erations section under the NCRC (North Campus Recreation Club)," said Charles Dudley, an LSA junior and president of NCRC. Too much time is being spent deciding who is responsible, Dudley said. People involved should turn their energies toward deciding a fu- " ture for the snack bar. "The intent is to raise the money first and then say 'we have the money can we start utilizing the space?"' He said he wants to hold a bucket drive in the Bursley lobby to raise money. If a student has a good plan for reopening the snack bar it would be considered, Gould said. However, Peot said, "I don't think the store will reopen. If it does it will be because of an arrangement through Bursley Council - pro- bably not under student organiza- tion."

World AIDS Day emphasizes care BY VICTORIA BAUER Though AIDS patients are treated medically in hospitals, they often are not treated with compassion or re- spect by their physicians, said an organizer of a symposium today on the attitude of the medical commu- nity towards AIDS patients. The University's symposium is part of the first "World AIDS Day," a day designated by the World Health Organization to educate communities about AIDS and show support for AIDS patients throughout the world. Today five speakers - both doc- tors and AIDS patients - will dis- cuss the need for empathetic treat- Students need to change their negative attitudes toward AIDS patients, said a member of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Students and Residents. ment by medical students and doc- tors. No national event is planned for today, but thousands of communities throughout the United States are holding events, said Lucy Calahan, a spokesperson for the World Health Organization in Washington, D.C. The University Hospitals treat AIDS patients, but do not provide specialized AIDS services, said David Ostrow, associate professor of psychiatry at the School of Medicine. "The hospital is not turning AIDS patients away, but it's not doing anything to attract them. It's maintaining a low profile," Ostrow said. University Hospitals do not pro- vide specialized services because of complaints from patients who fear contracting the disease, Ostrow said. The hospital is also worried about the high cost - $50,000 to $100,000 - for treating a patient with AIDS, he said. "The hospital is concerned that at some point the treatment will ex- haust (patients') insurance coverage and they will go on Medicaid or be- come charity patients," Ostrow said. At the Medical School, some students need to change their nega- tive attitudes toward AIDS patients, said a member of the Gay and Les- bian Medical Students and Residents. The lecture will be held from 12 noon to 1 pm at South Lecture Hall in the Medical Science I Building.

Rob Bobliett, a University staffer and LaGROC member said that Caulk's speeches on the sins of homosexuality would prevent any gay man or lesbian from wanting to join. Jentzen said he had not been warned of any amendments in the case against Cornerstone: Sotiroff said that Jentzen was told of the change and asked to attend the meeting, "He knew that we were meeting tonight. His action of not showing up (shows) lack of faith in the court." MSA President Michael Phillips was not available for comment. -aci -- HOUSE OF WINGS CHEMICAL ENGINEERING GRADUATE PROGRAM We invite Chemical Engineering seniors and those in Chemistry or related majors to apply to the M.S. and Ph.D programs in Chemical Engineering.
