Help is wailing in the form of a ? transplant operation, which she ,;o: at W\ ler Children's Hospital in hvago "Without the transplant, they say she worn make ix within a year." the distraught mother said. But. money arid organ availability are the problems right now. "It (the operation) costs $100,000/' said Ms. Clark. "Medicaid, if it goes through, will pay 75 percent of it. We'll have to pay the rest." Her stepfather. Khalid Fattah Griggs, has made an urgent plea with Ms? Clark, giving. "It's real critical, and something has to be done real soon." Meanwhile. Griggs and Ms. Clark are starting to cans ass anyone and everyone that they can think of to help raise the $25,000 needed. "We discussed setting up a fund, sending jars out to various businesses and churches." she said in describing a process that they have only just begun. Getting in line as a liver recipient is another problem. "They usually go by the ones who need it first." Ms. Clark explained. "She's at Level II. If she gets real sick, then they'll move her up." She also said that the doctors at the center in Chicago advised her to "get the ticket now, so when (ihey) call us. ..within 4-6 weeks.. .we can go on up." For now.

Of Jesse Helms style unchanged Continued A1 .? i c i in s believes. For example, .'iieims thinks the education bill was bloated bill with a nice name; it tailed tor billions over what the purulent suggested as fiscally responsible. Social Security and Health JUart'f Helms voted agamst a bill in to restore full social security ?tptl igainst a bill in 1986 to transfer Kb 2 million from the strategic delcnsc initiative to a program that ^oUld brings meals to the elderly. -I - E ducation: i ^ / *" ?

The United States ' -pefids more money per pupil than ahnl^i any other developed country. ?j<e<ponsibility for public school stems should be left to state and local governments. He voted against funds for Head Start in 1981, 1982, 1985, and 1989 and against Bush's Excellence in Educauon Act of 1990. Helms thinks it is important to return prayer to schools. Helms is concerned about the great number of defaults on college loans, which cost the government S2.4 billion this year. ? He is considering several solutions to remedy the situation; his staff did not outline his specific ideas. He voted against funding for Pell Grants in 1981, 1982, 1985, 1986, -1987rand 1989 Abortion: Helms is opposed to abortion except in cases where the mother's life is in danger. He is not opposed to thc?use of contraception, but believes the federal government should not be involved in the educa tion about or distribution ol* contra ceptives. AIDS Research: Helms is not opposed to AIDS research, but believes that when the federal government decides where research money-will be allocated" everything needs to be put in per spective. Other diseases such as disease and various types of cancer need to be looked at as well: The AIDS situation is tragic, Helms agrees, but the number of people dying from the disease doesn't stack up compared to other - diseases. Of all diseases, AIDS causes the eighth largest number of deaths but is allocated the largest amount of money for research, according to Helms' office staff. Knvironment: Helms believes there needs to be a balance between economic and industrial growth and a healthy, safe environment, but the problem needs to be approached in a logical man ner. The Clean Air Act, passed last year, contains several good points, but also included S75 million that was not necessary, accord ing to Helms. He led the way to cutting this provision of the bill before it was^>assed. South African Sanctions: Helms believes economic sanc tions in South African hurt the peo ple the United States is trying to help the most. Many people are out of work because of the sanctions. Instead of sanctions, the United States need to help get all the par ties involved in the conflict, the whites, the African National Congress, and the Zulus, to work together to solve the problem. iparvey Gantt strategies in full gear Continued from A1 ? |Tshfrtfj~riimHn7r ~ ? %?'
