The Michigan Daily - Friday, November 11, 1994 -7 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. The president apparently hopes Lloyd students demand Frida Fleming By SPENCER DICKINSON 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. i9 Go ole' G s le In conjunction with Food Gatherers, The Michigan Daily is hosting a canned food drive.
