work cannot be undertaken
because of the lack of available
resources.” Shilts also added
that the memo was written four
days after Brandt testified
before a House subcommittee
that all emergency funding for
AIDS was "unnecessary."
The final factor .Shilts cited,
the ‘ human factor," involved
Claetan Dugas, considered by
some to be "the man who
started it all.”
Also known as Patient Zen).
Dugas is believed to be respon
sible for at least 40 of the first
248 cases of AIDS diagnosed in
homosexual men in the U.S.
Shilts. who included Dugas'
story in his book, said he
discovered the Patient Zero fac
tor when a doctor in New York
mentioned that two of the first
AIDS cases in the U.S. had the
same mutual relationship with
the same man. This information
sent Shilts on a path of inter
views to discover what appears
to be a case of mass murder with
sex as the weapon.
Dugas, an Air Canada flight
steward, allegedly lured other
gay men into having sex with
him. even after he was informed
in 1082 of his contagious condi
tion, Shilts said
Shilts explained that Dugas
apparently roamed gay
bathhouses and gay clubs, hav
ing casual sex with other men.
After having sex, Dugas would
turn on the lights, point to the
purple lesions on his inner
thighs and inform his partner,
"I've got gay cancer I'm going
to die and so are you."
At the time of his AIDS
related death in March, 1084.
Dugas reportedly hail had sex
with at least 2,500 partners in
the previous 10 years, Shilts
said.
Shilts said Dugas is likely the
man who first introduced AIDS
to North America, possibly
leading to tens of thousands of
reported AIDS cases
Through his book, Shilts is
seeking help from political,
medical and social groups by
expanding public awareness.
Shilts said he is satisfied «ith
the amount of money the II S.
government currently spends
on research on AIDS and AIDS
Related Complex, adding that
more education is needed.
"AIDS can be prevented
through education." Shilts
said "It's not like the plague
where anyone could catch it
Preventive measures can stop
the expansion of AIDS, and the
best way is through educ at ion
Shilts said he hopes AIDS and
AIDS education will Is- impor
tant issues during next year's
presidential elections.
Although he doesn't laslieve a
cun- for AIDS will ever be
found. Shilts said that with the
help of federal research funds.
AIDS will someday be a
"disease like diabetes." a
disease that is controlled
through proper medication and
education.

faculty into a formal move

"If you step bac k and think
about it. it's a real drastic
thing for the faculty and/or
the students to vote that they
don't have confidence in the
people who are governing
them." Gaffney said
Some senate members ex
pressed doubt that the mo

but Gaffney defended it as
the only way students can of
ficially protest against the
state board She also referred
to Goldsc hmidt as the "only
recourse we have now
If Goldschmidt ignores the
issue, legal action may he
taken against the state board,
according to f'rymoyer

case for them having violated
open meeting laws "
