AIDS polic;

Six students laid down and symbolically died at 2
p.m. Friday in the middle of Green Street as part of an sa
AIDS rally sponsored by Carolina Aids Research and m
the Gay and Lesbian Student Association. cc
"Act up, fight back, stop AIDS! History will recall H
(President Ronald) Reagan and (Vice President)
George Bush did nothing at all! Forty-thousand dead A
from AIDS, where was George?" the students pi
chanted, holding signs and marching in front of the nc
Rnccpll Hnnsp
At the end of the rally they held a "die-in" to pro- to
test the government's AIDS policy and the presidential
candidates' failure to address the issue of Acquired p<
Immune Deficiency Syndrome. h(
"What the government would like us to do is lay sa
down and die. And that is exactly what we're going ro
do," said Patrick Barresi, graduate health education
student and coordinator of the rally. to
Some students then laid down in the street while th
others drew chalk lines around them. They continued
chanting, "Silence equals death. We will not be te:
silent."
The rally had three purposes, Barresi said. "We Gi
want to remind leaders that AIDS is a very serious pro- ag
blem. We want to remember those people who have A
died of AIDS, and we want to commit ourselves and Bi
recommit ourselves to the fight against AIDS." se
"It's an interesting fact, " Barresi said, "that not
until seven years after the first case died from the sh
disease (did) Ronald Reagan mentioned the words A
AIDS in public."
Reagan closed his eyes, and every bill that crossed ly
his desk was vetoed, Barresi said. "No money for de
AIDS, no money for health care, no money for educa- th
tion. In fact, he cut funding in the true, conservative, in
Republican fashion." pr

Funding for further research and education was the
imary concern of the protestors.
"The fact is that scientific researchers have been
lying for the past seven years that they need more
oney for research. There is something that can be acjmplished,"
said Wayne Johnson, a School of Public
ealth alumnus.
"It is not true that there are no treatments for
IDS," English professor Amita Aviram said. "Those
omising treatments are precisely the ones that are
at being funded."
The reason AIDS was ignored for so long is related
i the public's perception of the disease, Barresi said.
"It might have been that from the first, public's
:rception of the disease was that it is only a disease of
amosexuals, bisexuals, and I.V. drug users," Barresi
id.
"As long as the fags and junkies are dying, it's okay
ignore the disease. Well, I disagree, and I suspect
at many of you disagree," he said.
But some of the onlookers did not share the prostors'
or Barresi's views.
"I don't know if they're trying to talk against
eorge Bush or if they're really trying to protest
;ainst the spread of AIDS. We all know why and how
IDS is spread. It's got nothing to do with George
ash," said Simon Grant, a mechanical engineering
nior.
But Bush or Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis
ould allocate more money to research a cure for
IDS if he is elected, Barresi said.
"The Surgeon General stated that it will be extremeunlikely
to find a cure for AIDS within the next
;cade or within the next century," Grant said. "I
ink it's a waste of money to put a whole lot of money

pest problem in Douglas. In a letter

to the newspaper before reporting the
problem to dorm officials.
Warner said the pest problem
