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 n, UPSA Continued from page 1 " 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 Continued from page 1 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.

Sbe £ichigrau il 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. i ADDRESS: The Michigan Daily, 420 Maynard Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109.

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. 01
