Group seeks changes in fraternities
MIDDLETOWN, CONN. ? An organization at Wesleyan University
has petitioned their president to put a stop to all-male fraternities.
The Student and Faculty Coalition for the Coeducation of Fraternities at
Weslayan University has demanded that fraternities "drop their policy of
discriminating against women in the solicitation of membership."
The group sought discussion and cooperation with the fraternities'
Board of House Presidents, but both sides grew discouraged at the apparent
irreconcilability of their objectives, said a BHP spokesperson. "We
want to stay all male, and they won't consider the creation of something
new, like all-women or coed type of houses," he said.
Democrats at Southern Cal pull joke
LOS ANGELES ? Wayne Bowen, a self-described extremist and chairman
of the conservative Young Americans for Freedom at the University
of Southern California, was elected secretary of the Trojan Democrats this
past week.
It was, Bowen explained, "kind of a joke."
John Blanton, chairman of the Trojan Democrats, called it an
"outrageous, dirty-trick activity."
Bowen, who is also an officer of the Trojan College Republicans, said
he'd resign, but noted, "The Republicans don't mind if I'm an extremist. I
had hoped conservatives would similarly be allowed into the Democrats'
organization."
Federal budget to be good for students
u.*_. ? l tie late November economic summit
package worked out by Congress and the Reagan administration to try to
cut the federal budget deficit might be good ? or at least better ? news for
college students, observers say.
Congress is now debating the package, which would diminish the national
debt for the 1987-88 fiscal year by $73 billion, but would do so by
cutting into student aid less drastically than if the Gramm-RudnianHollings
law were allowed to take effcct.
Under Gramm-Rudman, student and college programs would be slashed
unless Congress and the administration approve an alternative plan. The
new "economic summit" package ? so called because it marked the first
time since 1981 that Congress and President Reagan agreed to work
together to reduce the deficit would, if approved, be the alternative.

San Diego police round up prostitutes
SAN DIEGO ? A crackdown on prostitution timed to sweep city streets
clean before Super Bowl XXII has resulted in 68 arrests and the closure of
an escort service, authorities said.
Thirty-one women and 33 men were arrested along El Cajon Boulevard
on prostitution-related charges over the weekend, police said Monday. The
men were accused of pandering for female prostitutes.
Four other people were arrested in the investigation of prostitution after
authorities closed an escort service named Candlelight, police said.
Many of those arrested remained in jail. A new detention rule, put in
force for this week only, requires prostitution suspects to post $2,000 bail.
Ordinarily, those accused of prostitution activity are quickly released
through a program aimed at saving space in the county's overcrowded jails
for those accused of more serious crimes.
Lt. Alan Fuliner, a spokesman for the San Diego County Sheriff's
Department, said detention of the prostitution suspects has not unduly
strained the county's six jails.

Turnout
than ex[
at AIDS
By KAREN ADDY
(Graduate assistant
Turnout at a conference on AIDS
held this past Friday in the Russell
House far exceeded the expectations
of organizers who had suspected that
i l .j _t c
nwtiiy Miiui'iiiN wuinu Miy away, icuiing
judgment by their peers.
More than 150 students from USC
and other colleges across the state attended
the all-day series of
workshops sponsored by the Division
of Student Affairs. Among other
topics, participants heard from experts
on safe sex, AIDS testing,
discrimination and future trends.
"All in all, we're really pleased not
only with the turnout, but with the
pumiivc iccuduck wc ve receivca on
the workshops," said Jodi Raybuck,
a graduate assistant in the Division of
Student Affairs. "Some of the credit
goes to faculty members who encouraged
students to attend. Some
even offered students extra credit for
attending."
The conference featured more than

of knowledge, including medicine,
public health, religion and
philosophy.
Representatives from the Department
of Health and Environmental
Control, the Palmetto AIDS Life
Support Services, AIDS Education
Inc. and Richland Memorial
Hospital joined USC faculty and
staff in correcting popular
misconceptions and offering practical
advice.
Led by Nora Bell, chairman of the
department of philosophy, and
DHEC Nurse Consultant Linda
Buster, one workshop explored the
legal, social and medical implications
of AIDS testing.
In the past, people have been
discriminated against after seeking
the blood test used to detect HIV, the
AIDS virus, even when the test proved
negative, Bell said. Current state
law denies AIDS patients complete
confidentiality for test results stored
in the files of private physicians, and
labs mav be subDeonaed at a later

As for the displaced residents, who
were recently alerted of the situation,
Smart said they take special actions
to ensure them a space elsewhere on
campus.
Displaced students will be allowed
to sign up during registration immediately
after those who sign up for
me aoiiic icMucuue nan unu same
room. He said this will give them a
place.
But some Thornwell residents are
concerned about the new costs they
will face. For the spring semester,
Saad said the price was $462 and
maintains that the tenements as the
cheapest on campus.
Some are concerned about
students who will have to leave
Thornwell.

dale, she said.
Only on-site DHEC testing offers
protection from such possibilities,
Bell said. Too, people should expcct
pre- and post-test counseling when
they seek the HIV test, she said.
i ne scconci worKsnop, led by
Mclani Grecu, associate director of
Resident Student Development and
Off-campus Services, and Ralph
Johnson, dean of student life and
director of minority student affairs,
advised students on how to talk
about AIDS with their sexual
partners.
Bell again addressed participants
at a lunchtime lecture, in which she
emphasized what is perhaps the most
serious problem college students face
in dealing with AIDS.
"College students believe
themselves to be invinceable, and
they still think heterosexual sex is
safe," she said. "I always advise
them to avoid promiscuity and re
mind them that in one sense, they are
having relations not only with their
partner, but with every person who
has ever had sex with their partner."
Afternoon workshops included a
session led by Francisco Sy, associate
nrnfpssnr nf f*niftr?minlr?ov at T I'si"'
which looked at projections for the
future. Sy said that by 1991 the
number of documented AIDS cases
may run as high as 196,000 and the
greatest increases would appear in
the heterosexual population.
Additional workshops looked at
the presence of AIDS in minority
groups and offered further suggestions
on safe-sex practices.
The conference ended with a panel
discussion that featured area experts
and a woman whose brother suffers
frnm Atn*\
"I personally enjoyed the panel
discussion most," Raybuck said.
"The woman who talked about her
brother's illness gave a human
dimension to the discussion and added
weight to the other panelists' emphasis
on the pressing need for antidiscrimination
legislation."

"Their main purpose here is to get
an education, and if they're not able
to attend then that can cause a lot of
problems," said Clifton Dantzler,
hall advisor at tenement 26.
Lukie said he is also concerned
with the higher costs students will
face. Besides having to go to a different
residence hall, there will be a
6.7 percent housing increase on top
of that.
"I don't believe they're doing us
any favors as far as the inconvenience,"
said accounting sophomore
Dexter Teasley, a Thornwell resident.

the seats in the booths.
"I think the booths definitely need
work. The tables are also very shaky
most of the time," political science
freshman Tim Queen said.
Queen said any renovations would
help make the grill a more enjoyable
place to eat. "If my car was working,
I would not sit in here, because I
don't like seating on torn seats," he
said.
Chemistry sophomore Wendell
Green said, "It's about time SAGA
does something about the conditions
in there. A lot of students eat in
there, and there is no reason for the
conditions those booths have
deteriorated to/-'-.
But Mendendorp said it has been a
constant battle to keep the seats in
good condition.
"The seats do get torn up by
customers or people sitting on them
with something sham in their
pockets. We have had an extensive
problem with keeping the cushions
repaired, but it is not necessarily the
fault of the individual," Mendendorp
said.
Cummings said 13 to 15 cushions
were repaired this past summer, but

old, but these things are not getting
torn by the air," he said.
Cummings said a work order was
turned into USC maintenance in
November to have the cushions
repaired; but the work, which was
sunnosed to be completed bv the
Central Correctional Industries, has
not been done.
Part of the problem, Cummings
said, is that the work needs to be
done when students are not on campus,
because the cushions have to be
removed from the booths for repair.
"We can't- afford to lose that
amount of seating, even for one day, *
because this is a real busy place,"
Cummings said.
He said 30 cushions needed repair,
which would take away about 180
seats. In the meantime, Cummings
said they plan to take out four to five
cushions at a time and have them
repaired.
"It will take several weeks to get
them all done, but we really do not
have any other options," Cummings
said.
