2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, November 14, 19 PARKER Continued from Page 1 Without such a system, Parker said, poor chil- dren will continue to attend the least adequate schools. The welfare system, she said, was attractive to her and continues to attract millions of people because it pays more than many jobs. "They've gotten so entrenched in the system, they don't know how to get out," Parker said. "But there is life after welfare." Instead of welfare, Parker said people can rise from poverty by obtaining an education, saving and investing money, getting married, finding a job and working harder than anyone else in the NATION/WORLD workplace. "I had to humble myself and walk into a place where I thought all white people were racist and ask for a job," Parker said. Parker, who was a consultant last year for a fed- eral bill that gave increased welfare power to the states, said she pushed for complete elimination of welfare by 2000. Some members of the audience said that in some cases, welfare is necessary to rise from poverty. "There are a lot of people who have to resort to welfare in order to get an education:' said LSA junior Shauna Holland. "I don't understand how she can just say, 'Let's get rid of welfare.' There are a lot of people abusing wel- fare, but it should not be stopped completely." Parker also spoke on an issue that is very contro- versial' action.

SMOKE Continued from Page 1 But the two nurses smoking in the courtyard said they know the dangers of smoking, but aren't going to quit. "I will just go to my car to smoke if I have to," said one nurse, who wished to remain anonymous. "it is a violation of my rights because it is not illegal to smoke. Well, not yet." Officials said provisions for the new plan are still being worked out, and consequences for those smoking in vio- lation of the new rules have not yet been determined. Robert Gilmont, a Medical School research investigator, said the new plan will not stop him from smoking either. "I know I am killing myself. That is my choice," Gilmont said as he puffed on a cigarette. Others said another reason for tougher limitations on smoking is the image of the Medical Center. "It looks bad for medical students to be smoking," said Becky Johnson, a Nursing junior. But she said the new plan will not stop people from smoking - it will only make it harder to smoke. Harrison also said cigarette butts are a problem in the designated areas. He says it is hard to keep up with all the waste that is caused by smoking. Smokers said mountains of cigarette -butts were a common problem. "The area does get junked up, but it is because there are not enough ash trays," said one of the nurses as she stomped on a butt she had just thrown on the ground. ROUND THE NATI Cure for AIDS virus eludes scientists It appears very unlikely that infection with the AIDS virus can be cured by two or three years of treatment with powerful antiviral medicines, as some researchers and many patients had hoped. Three new studies show that the AIDS virus survives in a few cells - and can be stimulated to emerge from them - years after it has been expunged fronte bloodstream. This suggests that to date antiviral drug therapy is only holding ' at bay, not eradicating it. Some AIDS researchers had hoped that combinations of three antiviral drugs - often called "triple therapy"- might cure a person of H IV infection in as little as three years, provided the treatment was followed strictly. The theory was that after the drugs halted virus replication, cells previously infected would die off, eventually leaving a patient free of disease. While this sce- nario is still possibleit clearly won't happen on the schedule many had predicted - if it happens at all. "This clearly points out additional obstacles that must be overcome in order to achieve the goal of eradication," said David Ho, a co-author of one of the papers and one of the more outspoken proponents of the idea t human immunodeficiency virus infection may ultimately be curable with drugs. White House blasts Congress for cuts WASHINGTON - The White House yesterday called "utterly boneheaded" a last-minute maneu- ver by Congress that -took away United Nations funds just as the administration is trying to hold together a fragile international coalition against Iraq. Outraged White House officials and Democrats accused Republican leaders of undermining the presi- dent's leverage with the international community by denying the adminis- tration's request for payment of $926 million of U.N. arrears and a $3.5 bil- lion credit line for the International Monetary Fund because of a long- festering dispute over abortion poli- cy, But by day's end, the White House appeared resigned to have to re-fight the matter when Congress returns next year. The move came as Congress rushed to conclude a highly fractious session Iraq expels six American inspectors UNITED NATIONS - Iraq dramat- ically raised the stakes in its confronta- tion with the United Nations yesterday by expelling six Americans on a U.N. weapons inspection team, leading the world body to instruct the entire team to leave the country. In response to Iraqi orders, the Americans reportedly were enrouteby road to Jordan late yesterday. Seventy- two non-American members of the weapons inspection team are to depart Baghdad by plane today. The Iraqi move was a defiant response to the Security Council's demand Wednesday that Baghdad stop interfering with the U.N. Special Commission (UNSCOM) searching for hidden Iraqi weapons programs. At the request of the United States, the 15- nation council began urgent consulta- tions last night about how to deal with the latest Iraqi challenge. Following the expulsion order, the White House convened two long ses- sions on Iraq involving President that produced a major balanced bud- get and tax cut plan but took no action on the administration's "fast-track" trade negotiations legislation. Congress completed work on the last of the 13 annual spending b's, including one that finances the ,. government, before departing for the year. Fen-phen users should see a doctor ATLANTA - Anyone who has ever used the two recently recalled diet drugs, fen-phen and Redux for any amount of time should s( doctor and get a physical examma- tion, the U.S. government said yes- terday. The advice comes two months after fenfluramine - the "fen" in the diet combination fen-phen - and Redux were pulled from the market because extended use for six months or more has been linked to potentially deadly heart valve dam- age. E WORLD, Clintons' senior national security advisers. After participating in the first session, Clinton said, "Iraq's announce- ment this morning to expel e Americans from the inspection tea is clearly unacceptable and a challenge to the international community." He promised "to pursue this matter in a very determined way." Report: Informant knew of Rabin plot JERUSALEM -Two years afte e assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, a se et report released yesterday says an infor- mant for Israel's Shin Bet secret service never told his handlers that a close acquaintance was bragging aboit a plan to kill the Israeli leader. The acquaintance, a right-wing reli- gious Jew named Yigal Amir, later car- ried out his threat, gunning down-Rabin at a Tel Aviv peace rally on Nov. 4, 1995. The revelations came amid attemptby Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyalo mend political divisions in Israel. - Compiled from Daily wirereports. i-1:I [|H VPP 0 1 .
