4The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, January 14, 1988 "Bailey meets Soviet lesideff By LYDI AN BERNHARDT Staff Writer Student Body President Brian Bailey was one of three student body presidents chosen to meet with Mikhail Gorbachev while the Soviet leader was in Washington, D.C., for the summit conference. Bailev and two other student leaders, who represented Brown and through cultural exchange. Now, Princeton universities, met with both countries have stereotypes of Gorbachev and his wife for about 25 each other that make communication minutes at the Soviet Embassy on difficult.w Dec. 10. Bailey described Gorbachev as a "It was a great experience to shake good speaker and a warm person. General Secretary Gorbachev's hand "He's a great public relations and to be in Washington at such a person, but I thought he was sincere, furthering understanding between the two countries, Bailey said. "He said he was impressed with U.S. youth and wanted to encourage students interested in study abroad to come to the Soviet Union," Bailey said. "He expressed a desire to open up the Soviet Union to students to erase misconceptions on both sides crucial time," Bailey said. Gorbachev spoke through an inter preter about the importance of U.S. and Soviet student educational exchange programs as a means of Bailey said. "I got the message that he is different not many world leaders take the time to meet with youth. The things he spoke on were good things to promote, and they aren't the most popular subjects over there. He seems like someone who's willing to sit down and talk about anything, and talking is the first step." Mrs. Gorbachev reached around members of the KGB, who stood between the Gorbachevs and the students, to talk to them. "She kept trying to reach out and pull us closer so she could talk to us," Bailey said. "She told lots of jokes. She was really funny." The Gorbachevs gave Bailey and the other student body presidents a collection of prints done by Soviet schoolchildren called "Longing for Peace." The meeting was sponsored by the American Association of University Students and Direct Connection, a California group whose purpose is to increase interaction between U.S. and Brian Bailey Soviet youth to promote understand ing of the Soviet Union. CouiBicil member proposes AIDS task force By REBECCA NESBIT Staff Writer Chapel Hill Town Council member Joe Herzenberg has proposed that the town create a special AIDS task force to help educate citizens about acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Herzenberg, the first openly gay elected official in North Carolina, made the suggestion Saturday at the town council meeting to plan the year's agenda. An official proposal will be presented to the town council later this year, Herzenberg said. An AIDS task force would help the Chapel Hill community become more aware of the number of AIDS cases in the community, as well as offer prevention measures for the disease, Herzenberg said. "It was during my campaign for town council that 1 realized some thing needed to be done to help inform the public about AIDS," he said. "People tend to think of AIDS RECYCLE This Newspaper J as far away from us like in New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles, but it's right here in Chapel Hill too. "Not many people know that the first AIDS fatality in North Carolina was a Franklin Street businessman, who died in April of 1983," he said. "And at least one other businessman in Chapel Hill has died from AIDS. It used to be that there would be about one case (in the Triangle) every six months; now it's much more frequent." People serving on an AIDS com mittee would invent ways to educate the public, help form people's atti tudes and maybe even form their behavior, Herzenberg said. Although mostly Chapel Hill residents would serve on the task force, the group would cooperate with the similar UNCTask Force on AIDS. "Despite the good work done by the University, citizens at large have a low consciousness about AIDS," Herzenberg said. Michel Ibrahim, chairman of the UNC task force, said, "If the town sets up a task force we will be pleased to work with them to help deal with the problem." The UNC system, which includes 16 campuses, has a task force for the purpose of educating the campuses and developing policies, Ibrahim said. "One very important policy is our first one which says not to restrict or exclude any person infected with AIDS in any way, unless he is not acting responsively," he said. "Another policy is to urge students who know they are infected to share that information on a confidential basis with the director of Student Health Services." Ibrahim said that AIDS education is the major weapon to combat the epidemic. "One good way to combat it would be a vaccine, but since we don't have one for AIDS and prob ably won't for the next 10-20 years, education is the next best weapon," he said. Ibrahim said that the best lines of defense are abstinence, a monoga mous lover, good judgment and the use of condoms, in that order. There are about 200 AIDS cases in North Carolina, Ibrahim said. "And for each case there are probably about 100 more infected people. Over 50 percent of infected persons die." Women's center gets permit to relocate By SANDY DIMSDALE Staff Writer The Orange County Women's Center may know in the near future if the result of the lawsuit filed by Cobb Terrace residents is good or bad, but for now they are calling the house at 210 Henderson St. their new home. "We've begun cleaning up the property and are working to move into the hous6 by March 1," said Carol Burnette, executive director of the women's center. The Cobb Terrace neighbor hood residents tried to halt the move by filing a suit against the town and the women's center on Dec. 7. But on Dec. 31, Judge Anthony Brannon issued an injunction which allowed the women's center to begin work on the inside of the house. "The judge gave us part of what we asked," said Lightning Brown, a Cobb Terrace resident. "He (Brannon) said it didnt matter to the residents what would happen inside the house, but the 14-car parking lot they are planning would change the neighborhood." Brown said representatives from the women's center told the judge that their lease at 431 W. Franklin St. was about to run out. The town council allowed the women's center's relocation to Cobb Terrace by granting them a special use permit on Nov. 9, 1987. But the permit would be revoked and the property returned to residential zoning if the residents win the lawsuit. Brown said that Judge Brannon thought the neighborhood would win if the case went to trial. Town attorney Ralph Karpinos said the town and the women's center may know the results in two weeks since the Cobb Terrace residents filed for a summary judgment last week. A summary judgment would allow a judicial decision to be made without the case going to trial. Brown said that filing a sum mary judgment was a request for the judge to examine all the residents' and women's center's records for evidence in the resi dents' favor. If the judge cannot make a decision from the evidence, the case will have to go to trial so the judge can hear both arguments. "The case is 100 percent based on public record," Brown said. "There just isn't anything more substantial to be looked at. "What we asked the court to do is finally decide this matter once and for all, and we believe it will be decided in our favor," Brown said. Burglars break into Morrison dorm, dental school By BRIAN McCOLLUM Staff Writer Twelve rooms in Morrison Resi dence Hall were the sites of breaking and entering during the Christmas holiday, according to Morrison Area Director Roger Nelsen. Nelsen said the thieves probably scaled the brick walls of the high-rise dormitory, climbing as high as the 10th floor to gain access to the rooms. They entered the rooms by slicing outer window screens before opening unlocked windows, Nelsen said. The burglars also attempted to enter 20 other rooms, he said, but were unable to open the windows. Nelsen said several items were stolen from several rooms, but the thieves left the other rooms untouched. Residents were advised not to leave expensive articles in their rooms during the break, Nelsen said. He added that resident assistants will work to increase student awareness of crimes. "We're really encouraging residents to know the serial numbers of valuable items," he said. Students are also being cautioned to lock windows during vacations. Jack Voigt, manager of the Uni versity's Dental Support Services, said more than $2,000 worth of tools and equipment were stolen from the old dental school on Jan. 1. Burglars broke down double wooden doors to enter the instrument repair room where the equipment was kept, Voigt said. "I have a feeling it was someone who had been in there before," he said. "They knew exactly what they wanted." Voigt said the dental school will have to pay to replace the stolen equipment, which was uninsured. Despite those crimes, Sgt. Ned Comar of University police said the campus crime rate was down during the Christmas holiday. t S Milton's Winter Give-A-Way! Further Reductions and Re-Grouping That Is Give-A-Way Incredible!
