01 Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Wednesday, January 27, 1993 SMOKE Continued from page 1 minimal area of three non-smoking tables.in a restaurant that seats 50 or more. Restaurants that seat 101-150 must provide six smoke-free tables and in larger restaurants that seat 150 or more, the minimal number of non-smoking tables is nine, said Tracy Ross-Attles, regional director of the American Lung Association. Attles said one of the task force goals is to change the state mandate to increase the availability of non- smoking seating. According to a study conducted by Action on Smoke and Health (ASH), food servers - who are subjected to a large quantity of sec- ond-hand smoke - are four times more likely to die from lung cancer then any other profession. "Change is hard. Restaurants try to bring in the argument that they lose business," Attles said. Task force member Robert Gunn said other cities in Michigan, such as East Lansing and Marquette, have similar smoking ordinances. Gunn stressed that the council needs to address the ordinance as a public health measure. "Michigan has the second highest percentage of smokers, after Ken- tucky, and the rates have been in- creasing," Gunn said. The 11-member task force is made up of Ann Arbor citizens who are concerned with placing more re- strictions on smokers, representa- tives from county health associa- tions, local restaurants, off-campus housing and the Chamber of Commerce. While members of the task force are all working toward the same goal, there is dissension about how to apply the ordinance to private housing. Fred Gruber, a rental housing provider and member of the task force, has proposed that the council establish a list of rental apartments that would be designated for non- smokers. This list would be given to the City Clerk, Chamber of Com- merce and to the University Housing Division. But task force member and tenant David Gurk said he opposes Gruber. Gurk proposed instead to have 50 percent of all rental buildings set aside for non-smokers. "My biggest problem with this, is that now I would be responsible for having the authority to enforce it," Gruber said. Meade said he does not know how the council will react to the or- dinance, especially since three or four members are smokers. Bob Eckstein (D-5th Ward), a smoker, said he supports the idea of the proposal. "The proposal would hopefully prevent others from starting to smoke. "I would hope that the coun- cilmembers would vote on what is best for the community and not what was best for themselves," Eckstein added. First lady chosen to head task force on national health care NEW YORK (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton got a quick start yesterday on her job heading her husband's health care task force, pursuing support on Capitol Hill within hours of the appointment and seeking advice from award-winning health care experts. She also wowed New York school kids, one of whom declared she was pretty "and I think she's powerful." Mrs. Clinton picked up a com- munity service award on her first trip outside Washington as first lady, and used the occasion to question fellow winners whose projects involve health care for children. The Lewis Hine Award was for her service to children over the years. President Clinton appointed his wife, a former corporate lawyer, to lead the task force on one of the most important issues of his presi- dency, saying Monday that she was "a first lady of many talents." Prodded for specifics, she said her job will be "to perform the func- tion that he outlined yesterday (and) to come up with - by working and coordinating with a lot of people - his health care proposal that he will present to Congress in May." Although reluctant to talk pub- licly about her new role, officials said Mrs. Clinton called several members of Congress in the first 24 hours on the job. The conversations were general, part of an initial effort "to reach out to people," said an of- ficial familiar with the situation. The official believed some of the calls were made from New York. Sen. Donald Riegle (D-Mich.) said he got a phone call from Mrs. Clin- ton late Monday. While her husband was governor of Arkansas, Mrs. Clinton chaired an Education Standards Committee that played a leading role in pushing through school reforms. She also chaired a state panel on rural health problems and was an active board member of the Arkansas Children's Hospital. For her first trip since the inaugu- ration, Mrs. Clinton chose to forgo the usual government jet generally used by first ladies and took a com- mercial flight to New York. "She just wanted to fly commer- cial," said her spokesperson, Lisa Caputo. Mrs. Clinton said she met infor- mally in Manhattan with four Hine health care winners to "learn more about the programs, why they've been singled out, get their advice about what they think will work." Caputo said the one-hour conver- sation got very specific, with talk about troublesome regulations and 'But no matter how much work we do,... what children need more than anything else are adults who care about them, who love them, who teach them anI who are willing to stand up and fight for them.' - Hillary Rodham Clinton innovative policies. "It put a lens on some of the most fundamental prob- lems that exist in the way health care is funded through their experiences as physicians and leaders" in the health care field, Caputo said. Mrs. Clinton told a small crowd on the top floor of the Chemical Bank building that she and her hus- band would dedicate the president's term to improving the lives of Amer- ican children. "But no matter how much work we do; from the White House to the courthouse, up and down every street, in every large city, in every small town, what children need more than anything else are adults who care about them, who love them, who teach them and who are willing to stand up and fight for them against a world that is often cruel and unfair," she said. During the trip, Mrs. Clinton stopped at Alexander Humboldt School - also known as P.S. 115 - in a gritty Upper Manhattan immi- grant neighborhood. Mrs. Clinton spent about 30 min- utes talking with fourth- and fifth- grade students. 0 0 0 0 Bead exchange LSA first-year student Andy Behler tries on a bracelet yesterday at Luis Ganibin's Secreto Tropical booth on the ground floor of the Michigan Union.

I ADDRESS Continued from page 1 "Tonight, I am sending a signal clear and strong across the state and across the nation: the policies and practices of the past that made job providers feel unwelcome and un- wanted are over," he said. Engler called education a vital part of his vision for a new genera- tion of jobs. Twice he mentioned that state aid to education has grown while he has been in office, despite tight budgets. The 48 percent increase in state spending the last two years brought the total tab for education to more than $9 billion per year, or more than $5,300 per child. "Regardless of our differences, we all agree on one thing: We must get more for our money. For all we spend, our schools must do better," he said. Engler reaffirmed his commit- ment to expanding parents' choice of schools for their children.

Representatives also questioned the validity of such guidelines as the seven day prior notification to obtain a permit as well as the limited areas in which activities may take place. "How would we schedule the Boston Tea Party seven days in ad- vance?" Zimmerman asked. "If we want to protest or speak freely, we should be able to," Engineering Rep. Lori Park added. Students were also concerned about the guideline requiring organi- zations to reimburse the University for any additional costs which an event may incur.

She described him as a man who "did not have a history but was a small event in someone else's life." Her sensuous imagery, which flows through all her work, reflects Kincaids' Caribbean roots. In the piece she read aloud, Kincaid de- scribed a woman who, in caressing her lover's body, could smell the burdens of his day's labor - the sacks of curry, onion, flour and sugar that he had been unloading under the Caribbean sun. Kincaid began writing as a teenager in Antigua, showing her work only to neighbors. At age 17, she left the Caribbean island and moved to New York City. Her stead in New York began as a nanny. Eventually, because of what she ascribes as fortunate ac- quaintances rather than her own lit- erary talent, Kincaid began writing for the "New Yorker" magazine. She said the "New Yorker" ex- perience provided her an oppor- tunity to realize her potential as a writer and have the merit of her prose recognized by others. Kincaid's work includes: "At the Bottom of the River," "Annie John," "A Small Place," and "Lucy." f \ !\ f , ..,,l 4 7 V\.1 ,' 4 V :y V. ; ;' !
