A The Daily Tar HeelFriday, October 2, 19873 i, peace groups nti-aioaurtlieic . . - 1L plan protest march in Raleigh By STACI COX Staff Writer Triangle Anti-Apartheid and Cen tral American peace organizations are sponsoring a march this Saturday in Raleigh to convey a message of peace while pressuring politicians to vote against support to the contras. The marchers will meet at 1 1 a.m. at St. Augustine College in Raleigh. The march will begin at noon and continue to the State Capitol, said Jack Holtzman, an organizer of the march. A rally will begin when the marchers arrive at the capitol. The rally will include anti-apartheid and anti-contra speeches, as well as music and entertainment, Holtzman said. The marchers are demanding an end to all U.S. aid to war-related organizations in South Africa and Central America, said Daniel Szyld, Grant a spokesman for the Triangle Com mittee in Solidarity With People of El Salvador (CISPES), a chapter of the national solidarity group. About 90 percent of Central American countries support a peace plan which includes the removal of all foreign military, he said. "The present administration is trying to discredit this peace plan with 'red-baiting' and scare tactics when these people (in Central America) are trying to achieve peace," Szyld said. Unless support groups mobilize against the administration policies, the United States will continue to " undermine the peace attempts of Central America, Szyld said. "Contras have gotten a lot of press this summer, and we're trying to also return to light the problems in El Salvador, Guatemala and South from page 1 viruses themselves and how they are transmitted, focusing on how they are mutated and how they can be traced, Pagano said. o A study of two different methods of locating and informing sexual contacts of people infected with human immuno-deficiency (HIV) virus, which causes AIDS. v, Self-referral is one of the methods to be examined, said Dr. Suzanne Landis, assistant professor of epide miology in the School of Public Health. Using this procedure, people who test positive for AIDS are responsible for notifying their sexual partners of the past year. The second method would require public health investigators to locate the sexual partners of AIDS victims Landis said. This procedure is designed to assist those who feel they cannot tell their sexual partners themselves. Health officials estimate that for every person diagnosed with AIDS, there are 50 to 100 people who have the disease and do not know it. The last area of UNC's research could help to alleviate the problem, Landis said. Pagano also discussed why AIDS research is being conducted in a Divestiture cancer research center. "The techniques used in cancer research can be adapted to AIDS research" he said. "Clinical studies are closely tied to new discoveries in AIDS research." The population . of hemophiliacs available for study at UNC is another help in the research, said Dr. Harold - " from page 1 Roberts, director of the Center for Thrombosis and Hemostasis at UNC. Of his patients, 90 percent have developed the antibodies to AIDS by receiving clotting factor transfusions, yet only four to five percent have gone on to develop clinical AIDS, he said. Dr. Stuart Bondurant, dean of the School of Medicine, said, "I am confident and optimistic that the program will work as intended. As a result of the distinguished leader ship and resources here, (UNC's) center will make an important con tribution to fighting this devastating disease." Africa," said Cindy Hahamovitch, chairwoman of the UNC Anti Apartheid Support Group. Sen. Terry Sanford, D-N.C, pre viously voted in favor of aid to the contras, and North Carolinians need to know the facts in order to sway his vote against such aid, Hahamo vitch said. Few North Carolinians know about the UNITA, an army used by the South African government to destabilize the government of Angola, Hahamovitch said. This army has caused thousands of deaths and forced farmers off their land, bringing famine to the entire nation, she said. "Since the turn of the century, the United States had consistently stood on the wrong side of liberation struggles," Hahamovitch said. The United States causes many of its own problems in foreign countries, she said, by making every rebellion a power struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. The government ignores the possibility of uprisings simply for freedom from oppression, Hahamovitch said. Anyone wanting a ride to the march should meet in the parking lot beside the Student Union at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Hahamovitch said. suspicious of the hush-hush manner they used in doing it." Another AAA member, Keith Griffler, said the announcement was "quite a great thing." But he said the economic reasons cited for divest ment make a difference, he said. "It matters from the sense that this is an attempt to deceive people," he said. "The larger issue is that they were forced into it. "It's definitely a major victory, but it's not a complete victory. A victory won't be complete until apartheid has .ended." . . : Staff writers Smithson Mills and Kimberly Edens contributed to this story. American Heart Association I MZZt !
