Clinton
names new
A1DS head
From Daily Wire Services
WASHINGTON -Hoping to re-
pair his tarnished image within the
jjDS community, President Clinton
yesterday named Patricia "Patsy"
Fleming, a widely respected legisla-
tive specialist with 21 years of gov-
ernment experience, as his new direc-
tor of AIDS policy.
Clinton, who promised to give
AIDS a high priority in his adminis-
tration, has been attacked by AIDS
activists who say he has not done
enough.
Clinton, introducing Fleming in a
White House ceremony, reaffirmed
his commitment to battling the dis-
ease, saying: "The face of AIDS is no
longer the face of a stranger. It is the
face of a friend ... It is a disease with
a human face."
His voice breaking, he added that
he was dedicating the occasion "to
my dear friend Elizabeth Glaser," the
#os Angeles woman who delivered a
stirring speech to the 1992 Demo-
cratic National Convention which
nominated him, and who has AIDS.

Lloyd students demand Frida
Fleming

For the Daily
Students arriving at the Alice
Lloyd dining hall yesterday were
greeted by a group of students en-
couraging them to eat elsewhere.
"Would you mind eating in
Couzens or Markley?" asked Dave
Valozzi, an organizer of the boycott.
Valozzi, one of the 11 first-year
students protesting, also handed out
flyers encouraging diners to "Speak
out now or freeze later!"
"The idea," said Micah Frankel,
another organizer, "is to get Lloyd to
serve dinner on Friday night. By not
eating Thursday lunch, we want to
show we're committed."
They succeeded in sending a mes-
sage. According to Alice Lloyd din-
ing hall figures, the final lunch count
was 117 students. On an average day,
Alice Lloyd serves between 280 and
300 lunches, said Dave Anderson,
general manager of the dining hall.
"They got my attention, but we
were already aware of the problem
through comment cards," Anderson
said.
Lloyd stopped serving Friday din-
ner in 1991 due to a lack of demand.
Although there have been occasional
requests, Anderson said, "wejustcan't
serve every meal in every location."
Fleming can succeed where her pre-
decessor, Kristine Gebbie, failed -
particularly in communicating what
the administration views as its policy
achievements. After a year on the job,
Gebbie left amid criticism that she
lacked access and support.
With the new Republican and dis-
tinctively conservative Congress, it
will be a formidable challenge for
Clinton and Fleming to push increased
- or even current - AIDS programs
through a Congress whose leaders
already have promised to cut taxes,
increase military spending and cut
social programs.
Chances aren't good for Friday
dinner in Lloyd in the near future.
Anderson described the dining ser-
vice as "customer driven," but added,
"It's not a cut-and-dry decision."
Other factors include cost of serv-
ing the meal, lack of consistent de-
mand and the fact that students have
Couzens, Markley and Stockwell -
all of which serve Friday dinner -
close by.
The reason for the boycott, how-
ever, is not entirely rooted in demand.
"It all started in a Pilot (Program)
English class," Frankel said. "We were
discussing political activism, and then
the teacher asked what we wanted in
Lloyd. Friday dinner came up."
From there, the English class cir-
culated petitions, went door to door in
Lloyd, called fellow students and
hung signs asking people to eat else-
where.
Finally, the students assembled
outside the dining hall to hand out
flyers and encourage people to eat
elsewhere. "This is a very passive
type of protest," said Shawn Quinn,
Despite support of residents,
meal addition still unlikely
another boycott organizer. "We aren't
here to harass people."
Mitchiko Mitchell, an Engineer-
ing sophomore who refused to par-
ticipate in the boycott, didn't agree.
"They blocked my way. They touched
me," she complained. "Besides,
they're not on house council. I think
they're just spoiled."
Anderson was determined not to
let the boycott affect dining hall op-
erations. He made sure people with-
out enough to do were put to work
cleaning and polishing equipment, and
all students who showed up to work
got paid.
"We did incur a cost," Anderson
said, "but we won't throw away any
food." The cafeteria served omelettes
and chicken patties, which can be
made quickly according to demand.
The protestors were commended
for their idealism. Clifton Chung, an
Art School first-year student, said,
"We need more people like them to
stand and make a statement at this
school. Too many questions get an-
swered by 'just because' and I'm glad
ydinnerg-
they're making this effort."
Melissa Shubalis, aL 'oyd resi-
dent who works Tuesday and Thurs-
day lunches, sympathized with the
protesters.
"I agree with them, and under-
stand how they feel," she said.
Now the question of Friday dinne,
in Lloyd has been passed up the chain
of command. Anderson said, "It's nt
'We need more people
like them to stand and
make a statement at
this school. Too many:
questions get
answered by 'just
because."
Clifton Chungk
boycott supporter,
my decision in the end, but I've dis-
cussed it with my boss." He hopes to
"find a solution that works for ever,-
one."
The group of boycotters, however
does not intend to give up the fig.
The organizers were happy about the
success of their effort, but plan, to
continue their petition campaign. ;r
Students, staff, pols fault 'U' in discussion
r777
By MATTHEW SMART
Daily Staff Reporter
* A small group of students, faculty
members and others discussed sub-
jects ranging from student apathy to
administrative inefficiency in an open
discussion about the University's ad-
ministration last night at Dominick's.
Both the Michigan Student As-
sembly and the Senate Advisory Com-
mittee on University Affairs worked
to generate greater student and fac-
*lty input into administrative deci-
sions at the University, group mem-
bers said.
Members of the group asserted
that students and alumni give a lot of
money to the University and are there-
fore entitled to more say in the way
the school is run. Some asserted that
students and faculty are being dic-
tated to by the administration.
"I am concerned about the top-
down stucture at the University," said
Emily Salvette, an unsuccessful Lib-
ertarian candidate for regent.
She said students and faculty
should not complain when they go to
the administration with a problem and
nothing is done about it. She sug-
gested students and faculty should
sometimes circumvent the adminis-
tration to get things done.
Members of SACUA and MSA
said that students are apathetic about
most issues on campus.
Mike Christie, an unsuccessful
Republican candidate for the
Washtenaw County Commission, said
students have common gripes, such
as book prices and teaching assis-
tants, but have not rallied together.
"The problem is that (students)
complain but don't actively move to
change the situation," Christie said.
. Tom Dunn, a chemistry professor
and SACUA member, expressed con-
cern that the Michigan Union is not a
focus of student activism and debate.
"You don't really have a student
union at all," Dunn said. He called the
Michigan Union a "conglomorate"
and said the basement is "nothing but
a place for commercialism."
MSA memberBeaGonzalas added
that the fourth floor of the Union is
being renovated for student offices.
SACUA is putting together an
electronic mailing list in an attempt to
get more input from faculty mem-
bers.
"You have to get into the 20th
century," Dunn said.
