Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Wednesday, November 11, 1992 Sorority will hold bucket drive to raise money for African villages Ihe Daily will publish position statements by the two major parties and independents competing for assembly seats for the remainder of the week, prior to Michigan Student Assembly Elections. Today's topic is the Statement of Student's Rights and Responsibilities. MSA elections will be held Nov. 17 and 18. 6 by Kelly Bates Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) sorority members hope that students' spare change will help bring real change to impoverished African villages. AKA members will be conduct- ing a bucket drive from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday to raise money to aid struggling African villages. The money will be used to edu- cate town residents, improve the community's health and living con- ditions, and better the area's econ- omy, said Yolanda Taylor, AKA media correspondence chair. The money will be distributed through Africare House - a Washington organization that spon- sors groups raising money for needy Africans. AKA uses a different event each year to raise money for the villagers. Africare House designates the fundraising projects and distributes the money raised directly to African villages. Africare gives support to villages south of the Sahara Desert in west- ern Africa and a few villages in northern Africa. The organization does not aid South Africa. In past years, sorority members have conducted food drives, blood drives, and clothing drives to benefit the organization. Unlike some organizations that help African people, Africare sends all of its relief funding straight to the people, bypassing government intervention. "All the money we raise goes di- rectly to the villages, none of it is kept in any other form," Taylor said. AKA has worked with the Africare program for seven years. Nationally, the sorority raised $300,000 in 1990. Africare used some of this money to buy sewing machines so that African villagers could produce items to bolster the village economy. "Donating the money for the sewing machines helped them put capital in the country and helped to build within the village," Taylor said. Africare also purchased water- wells to clean the drinking water in Africa. "There's a crucial problem in Africa that there's not enough clean drinking water," Taylor said. She attributed many Africans' health problems to the water situation. Conservative Coalition "Except from that which is required by law, we are unequivocally opposed to any code which limits a student's right to free speech or freedom of expression. An institution should not be allowed to infringe on students' constitutional rights and personal freedoms." - Conservative Coalition platform Independents Craig Greenberg, LSA sophomore: "I am not in favor of the code because I feel it infringes on students' First Amendment rights. The entire United States is entitled to First Amendment rights, why should the University of Michigan be any different?" Amy Cox, LSA junior: "I'm in favor of the general idea... but I'm not sure that defining specific behavior would be the way to approach it." Adam Hebert, LSA junior: "I'm not in favor of it because I'm not sure that it's the university's responsibility to do something like this. Student rights should be left to laws. Students also don't have enough protection from false accusations." Lorne Gearhart, Rackham graduate student: "In general I am not in favor of it because of the tradition of U of M having students regulate themselves." Mark Chasteen, LSA junior: "I really question a need for the code and the right of the administration to enact one. MSA seems more concerned about ...the wording of the code rather than questioning the reason behind it." Progressive Party "We are not in favor of the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities as written. We are opppsed to the principle of a code of non- academic conduct coming from the administration. If there is going to be one, it should be coming from students, not the administration. The administration has eliminated student decision-making and is only accepting 'input'." - Progressive Party platform 0 OFFICE Continued from page 1 our advertisements to be better than our service," Harper said. "But clearly our purpose is to help students problem-solve." Despite the lack of immediate name recognition among students, Cianciola said he thinks the office is productive. "It's going well. We're still not where we need to be, but I'm pleased with where we are," Cianciola said. "We have a long way to go getting out announcements to all students and having us be more recognizable as a place to come for help to get issues resolved." Sloan agreed. "I wouldn't say there have been a lot of students, but traffic is increasing, which says they're learning about the office," she said. 'Cianciola said both individual students and student groups have come to the office for help negotiat- ing with the U-M or for advice on other problems. "It's also a safety net for students so those who may fall between. ad- ministrative or bureaucratic cracks have a recognizable location to come and we can assist them to help get the best possible return for their education," Cianciola said. The office has advertised through meetings with student groups and advertisements on Union bulletin boards, Cianciola added. Nevertheless, some students said I'd be intimidated because of the name 'dean.' I'd feel stupid talking about something small like grades or a parking ticket." But Sloan said she has responded to many small problems, such as student difficulties with parking, in addition to addressing larger financial and academic concerns. "We're trying to have an office where even if a student doesn't I've never heard of it, but I think it sounds cool.' - Nicholas Dongvillo LSA first-year student they would not want to use the office. "I don't think I'd go to an office with a problem," said LSA first-year student Juliette Palmer. "I'd be afraid of standing in line for hours and hours like I do everywhere else." LSA sophomore Clare Gallagher agreed. "If I was going to go there know where to go to take care of a concern they can come here," Sloan said. Some students said they thought the office would be helpful. LSA senior Fritz Pyen said, "At least I'll have some resource to go to for problems instead of making 10 different calls to friends to find out where to go." BEATING Continued from page 1 Mayor Coleman Young, and a spokesperson for the Detroit Police Department knew nothing of the suit and had no comment. News reports conflicted yester- day on whether and how much Green resisted during his arrest when officers were investigating his car parked near a suspected crack house. A newspaper reported yesterday that Green struggled and kicked while two plainclothes officers tried to take a package of suspected crack cocaine from him. The Detroit Free Press said the account it received from an anony- mous source gave the officers' ver- sion of the confrontation with Green. The account conflicted with statements from civilian witnesses, who said Green didn't resist, while he was being beaten and kicked. Seven officers, including a su- pervisor, were suspended without pay the day after Green's death. Wayne County Prosecutor John O'Hair's office said yesterday the department had received some police reports Monday night. "They're not complete, but what we have is under review," said Carol May, an administrative assistant to O'Hair. She said warrants may be is- sued later this week, but she declined to be more specific about timing or charges. Files given to the prosecutor's of- fice include witness statements from four civilians and four ambulance service workers, lineup sheets, homicide detectives' reports, an au- topsy report, emergency services, log sheets, photographs and a description of physical evidence, according to The Detroit News. Services for Green were tentatively scheduled forI11 a.m. tomorrow at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church. AIDS Continued from page 1 contraception, there's not that much thought about disease." Students, including LSA s; pho- more Jill, said they protect wE~ ^m- selves through their sexual habits - namely using discretion in choosing the people with whom they have sex. "I'm not the type that goes around having sex with a lot of peo- ple. So I'm not putting myself in a situation where I'm going to be afraid. Obviously it is going to affect my future behaviors," she said. Lisa, also an LSA first-year stu- dent, said she gets to know potential partners well before having sex with them. "I have a serious boyfriend. Just knowing that diseases are spreading I want to know everything about my sexual partner. I want to know where they've been," she said. "If my life ever leads me to being single and dating, I'll know not to sleep around, not that I would have otherwise." A number of students, expressing their concern about AIDS, said that they abstained from sex entirely. A male engineering student who wished to remain anonymous said he is choosing the only truly safe form of sex. "AIDS has made me choose ab- stinence at the moment. It's been a strong factor in that choice," he said. Other students said the fear of AIDS has had a large impact on their sexual practices. A first-year music school student said she gets to know a person and his sexual background well before having sex with him. "1 practice more safe sex. I al- ways use condoms. It's not too big of a fear because I know the people I have sexiwith. I know their history and their families. I'm close tot them," she said. "Basically (AIDS) has definitely affected my attitudes. In high school I heard about it, and the more you hear about it, the more important it becomes. I would never have a one night stand," said Ernie, an LSA sophomore. Foreign students are equally - if not more - concerned about AIDS due to issues specific to other countries. "(In Zambia) it's changed a lot o( people's attitudes. Everyone's afraid of it. If a person loses a lot of weigh( people think 'Oh, he's got AIDS.: People go out of their way to look, for sick people. Everyone's more. careful. They use condoms and aren't as liberal as before," said Sijo: Parekattil, an Engineering senior who grew up in Zambia. " A 27-year old medical student, from Freiburg, Germany said, "I'm' obviously conscious about (AIDS).ry wouldn't sleep with someone with- out a condom unless I know them very well." Sadanori Horiguchi, an LSA first-year student from Japan, who, did a summer research paper on the AIDS virus in Thailand, said, "I've got to be very careful. If you are careful enough it's not a big deal." LSA first-year student Jason Braidwood said the international na< ture of the disease should make it a ; top priority on students' minds. "It's a big problem nationally anti across the world. It's the biggesf thing to think about right now,' Braidwood said.

But wide-spread dissatisfaction with the current assembly could be an advantage to their election effort, Independents said. "People I know are fed up with parties," Chasteen said. Most candidates said they felt they could not identify with either the Conservative Coalition or the Progressive Party in terms of positions on specific student issues. "I'm going to take it issue by is- sue," said LSA Independent candidate Amy Cox. 0 DATE: TIME: PLACE: Wednesday, November 11th 6 pm to 7 pm Hillel, 1429 Hill St. t r LLrcrr * ,iO C For more information: Hillel, 769-0500 Perch Dinner (11a.m. - 10p.m.) "* served with fries, coleslaw & dinner roll Brunch (10a.m. - 2p.m.) $ 5 Dinner Buffet Enjoy a variety of breakfast meats, hash (4p.m. - 8p.m.) browns, 2 egg dishes, corned beef hash, Choose from 2 meat dishes, mashed sausage gravy, pastries, & make your potatos, gravies, 2 vegetables, pasta own waffles! & 2 different toppings, salad & dessertl JI i tchi ttn ttil THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSAEM pp __ ell M The University of Michigan Men's Glee Club 133rd Annual Fall Concert Asian Pacific American Law Students Association and the University of Michigan Law School *invites * Asian American undergraduates to M /EET THE D3EAN1 Dennis Shields Dean of Admissions, Michigan Law School " the admissions process " the Michigan application The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is publishedMonday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.Subscriptions for fali/winter terms, starting in September via U.S. mail are $155.
