group of mothers form a commu-

Concerned Neighbors after they dis-
covered there were people dealing
cocaine in the nearby park.
But Eckstein said he feels he's
more familiar with city-wide issues.
"You also have to be active on is-
sues that affect the whole city, and
in that Joe hasn't been real big,"
Eckstein said.
One such issue they differ on is a
natural features ordinance.
Eckstein, a gardener and husband
of Project Grow director Lois
Eckstein, said he wants to pass such
an ordinance to "protect the trees."
But Borda said the ordinance is
simply not feasible. "We were told
by the city attorney that a natural
features ordinance would expose the
city to horrendous liability
claims," Borda said.
Borda said he's in favor of look-
ing into the privatization of city
services, but also expressed concern

" I believe these data should
quiet those who believe we are
spending too much on AIDS com-
pared to other causes of death," he
said.
Panelist Cathy Cohen, a
Rackham student in political sci-
ence, stressed social context in as-
sessing the disease's impact on dif-
ferent groups..
"AIDS and its manifestations
are different across communities,"
she said, citing evidence from re-
search she conducted in New York.
She explained Black AIDS activists'
agendas differ due to socioeconomic
realities, focusing on basic health
care and housing rather than on
procuring the latest treatment for
patients.
Donna Pressma, Chair of the
National Task Force on Children
and HIV Infection, said that more
resources should be directed toward
children with the virus.
"Children don't vote," she said.
"Look at the appropriations...
Children get the smallest piece of
the pie."
She also criticized local school
boards across the nation for failing
to adopt preventive education pro-
grams, saying that anyone making
bold moves in this area "is putting
their job on the line."
"Given the realities, don't we
need to give the information?" said
Pressma, adding that moral and re-
ligious convictions must be set aside
in the interest of tackling the prob-
lem. She cited instances of sexually
active fifth and sixth graders who
had no education about the disease.
Another member of the National
Task Force on AIDS, Dr. Virginia
Anderson, explained the effects of
the disease on families, and called
for reform of laws protecting the
identity of those stricken with the
disease.
"Silence equals death for many
women," she said, because they are
unaware of their sexual partner's
HIV status, and current medical
laws prevent them from ever know-
ing unless the partner tells them.
Anderson added that education had
to be incorporated into every medi-
cal visit to battle the disease's
spread, and that in some instances,
family counseling should be uti-
lized.
Every panelist and speaker ex-
pressed fear about the disease's
spread during the next decade.
Giving projections on the num-
ber of cases at the turn of the cen-
tury, St. John said, "The global inci-
dence of HIV is not expected to sta-
bilize over the next several years.
I'm sorry to say that the worst is
yet to come."
CREDIT

MSEF research analyst. "While
they may help in the short-term,
they can be very counter-produc-
tive."
Although the University does
not accept credit card payments for
tuition, many schools do. Credit
card representatives said it is com-
mon for students to apply for sev-
eral cards and charge up to the limit
on all of them towards tuition. This
way, they are able to pay off their
tuition in small installments.
Signet and Chase are two of the
banks which frequently mail appli-
cations to University students.
Signet has an 80 percent return rate
from mailings and Chase has more
than 500,000 student credit card ac-
counts.
"The card center makes money
off the cardholder, of course, but it
is an advantage for the student,
also," said Brian Mills, a credit card
representative with Signet Bank.
On the surface, soliciting college
students may not seem advantageous
to the companies, as students gener-
ally have low incomes and no credit
histories. However, companies said
they have other reasons for target-
ing students.
"A college student is considered
a good risk for the future - kids
have to start somewhere," said
Michael T. Martek, a costumer ser-
vice representative for Chase Bank.
"College students are going to be
tomorrow's doctors, lawyers, and
engineers."~
Steve Austin, an American
for city employees who would be
replaced by private industry.
. "Why not do some comparative
shopping? When you go to the store
you do it," Borda said.
Eckstein, by contrast, staunchly
opposes privatization because he be-
lieves private industries could later
raise prices for services.
Both candidates say they expect a
close race. Eckstein recently had a
close race of his own against Lisa
Danto of the Greens party for the
Democratic primary, which he won
by a slim 12 votes.
Express representative said,
"Students often have other avenues
of income like their parents and
loans."
Some credit card companies have
found that students get into trouble
with their cards more than the gen-
eral public.
Martek said although many stu-
dents are responsible, "you do see
students charging to the max. What
is happening is a lot of accounts are
becoming delinquent." Chase is con-
sidering discontinuing their student
accountprogram because of this,
Martek added.

The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter
terms by a bunch of careless, left-wing commie-sympathizing students at the University of Michigan, all
of whom are completely out of touch with the campus and its prevailing political ideology.
The Michigan Daily is a member of The Associated Press and the College Press Service.

ADDRESS: The Michigan Daily, 420 Maynard Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109.

News: You are quite naive. We don't report the news at this paper. News inherendy is unbiased. Clearly, this publication favors a
leftst ideological viewpoint, and thus the 'news' appearing in our pages is nothing more than communist drivel. For real news,
see the more responsible journalistic outlets on campus, The Mchigan Review and Agenda.
Opinion: Now you're talking. The Daily is very good at letting its opinion be known. In fact, we use the rest of the pages as an
excuse so that we can espouse our political agenda on the opinion page.
Sports: Sports are the product of a male hegemonist society. The rich elite of the world exploit talented athletes, using them up
to make even more money, and then throw them away like trash. Beyond this, womyn are excluded from participation in these
games, except when the men decide to throw token bones. Worse than that, even the reporting side of sports discriminates-
remember Lisa Olson ? Sports should be replaced with a section that teaches people to respect the environment.
Art: The arts section of the Daily is a very useful resource if, that is, your preferences in music, theatre, books, and films is
as common as a one-legged gerbil. For the rest of you, the arts section wil have no particular relevarie, because you are just
too mainstream to comprehend the intelligent commentary and analysis therein. Tough shit on you.
Photo: Somewhere, sometime, when you least expect it, someone might come up to you and say, Smile, youre on Candid
Camera.'
Weekend: Weekend magazine is nothing more than a cheap advertising ploy. The section serves no particular purpose, it
simdv eitk so thatw e can maka more mone. S ter.
