AIDS hospital losing funds, soon to close HOUSTON (AP) — The nation’s first AIDS hospital will be closing within the next 12 months because of losses of more than $8 million, a hospital spokesman said Thursday. “We’re phasing out all programs and services,” said Carol White, a spokesman for American Medical International, which manages the Institute for Immunological Disor ders. “Now we’re focusing on contin uation of research programs.” The decision to close the hospital came after months of discussions be tween AMI and the University of Texas System, she said. When the facility in north Hous ton opened last September, AMI agreed to operate it and UT agreed to provide the physicians. “We’ve been discussing options,” White said. “We looked at the possi bility of restructuring the institute so that we could include a broader pro gram range. A fuller-service hospital was another. We don’t provide sur gery and we could have added that.” In a statement the university said, “While there is and will be a consid erable effort on the part of AMI and the University of Texas System to continue the research and treatment at the institute, AMI’s financial re sponsibilities have grown too great to go beyond another year.” Mark Hanna, assistant to the chancellor at UT, said the board of regents received the letter from AMI Wednesday afternoon. An agreement, approved in June 1986, required either side to give 12 months notice to terminate the ar rangement if the hospital could not be operated on a sound financial ba sis. si “After about 10 months to 11 months of operation, we’re going to have a loss of $7 million,” White said. “At the end of the fiscal year on Aug. 31, we expect an $8 million loss.” About $5 million of that loss is attributed to indigent care, she said. When the hospital opened, $250,000 was earmarked for indi gent care, but by March, $3 million had been provided in free care. In March, the hospital announced it would stop admitting indigent pa tients.

Faculty Senate to review curriculum pli Studies have indicated the cost of treating one acquired immune defi ciency syndrome patient for one year is about $40,000. AIDS cripples the body’s ability to fight disease and is spread through an exchange of body fluids. Despite financial problems, White said the institute has had an excel lent outpatient program. T1 have been about 700 patients — There are current and most are outpatients — since the hospital opened, she said. The hospital is equipped with 150 beds, but handles only aoout a dozen inpatients on a daily basis, White said. Only one wing of the hospital has been in use for patients. “The institute patients will have ample time to be placed in other fa cilities or be referred to other capa ble physicians,” Hanna said. The hospital also began laying off staff in March. After literally years of work, the Texas A&M Faculty Senate will review the first core curric ulum plan submitted by an aca demic college. The new curriculum plan for the College of Architecture and Environmental Design has been reviewed by several committees and will come to the Senate floor for approval at the Monday meet ing, to be held at 3:15 p.m. in 601 Rudder. The Senate will also consider a policy for allowing students to re schedule final exams for religious reasons.

Tuesday is Na tional Night Out, and according to one source, Bryan-College Sta tion has a good chance to win the National Night Out Cup. The activities will be held at Ol sen Field and along Olsen Road from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. The events have been moved from Texas Avenue for safety reasons. Law enforcement agencies say they expect 10,000 people. Coordinated by three local po lice departments and the sheriff’s department. Night Out activities will include a five-mile chain of people, the world’s longest popsi- cle stick, a motorcade, a mass oal- loon release and lots of noisemak- Ice cream trucks will give each person in the chain a free popsi- cle and several popsicle sticks. It will take 55,000 popsicle sticks to reach the five-mile distance. The motorcade of local, state and national officials will travel the length of the chain. It will in clude mayors Marvin Tate and Larry Ringer, Texas A&M Presi- jabout his i dent Frank Vandiver and l the Dallas ( gressman Joe Barton. ■■pj ie ^ ( Communities across the cal runs ail( j c try will release ballons at Lj|| And he Locally, 25,000 balloons wfneed arises distributed by 7-Eleven stfflB“fj e { j oe People who will not be involvsj [ a;; Coach the chain are still invited io| an excellt lease a balloon at that time,als|p ower aric j After the balloons are releif Newsom sirens, bells, horns and noise g ra pj, houi ers brought by those in the: t aura nt for will he sounded for 60 second 1 |jl“Nobod\ All this hooplah is intends'OR.

Child molester with AIDS vin may have infected 54 you! MARLIN (AP) — Authorities found the names of 14 more chil dren Thursday in the computer of a child molester who police fear may have infected as many as 54 young sters with the AIDS virus. Jimmy Etheridge, a self-employed insurance man described as a “nice person,” was found shot to death June 30. An autopsy showed he had the AIDS virus, and a check of the man’s home computer yielded the names and addresses of children, along with details about sexual rela tions he had with them. A 16-year-old boy who had been living with him signed a statement saying he shot Etheridge acciden tally, said District Attorney Thomas Sehon, who said the criminal investi gation in the case is over. “We cannot prove beyond a rea sonable doubt that he (16-year-old) or anyone else committed murder,” Sehon said. Debra Coca, chief Falls County ju venile probation officer, said Thurs day officials had found two or three more lists , in Etheridge’s computer with 14 new names, mostly from Louisiana. But of the total 54 children, ad dresses from Texas, Louisiana, Mis sissippi, California, Colorado, Ar kansas and Mexico were found, she said. At least 10 of the children are from this little community southeast of Waco. “We are still in the process of pull ing names out of the computer,” she said, adding she has no idea how many more names might be found. Six children have been tested for AIDS so far, and only one test result is back, said Coca, declining to say whether it was positive or negative. Parents who have been notified, she said, expressed “shock, bewil derment and a lack of understand ing about how this could happen.” Many said, “He seemed to be such a nice person.” She said many of the children are too young to understand the impli cations of the situation. Etheridge, who moved here from West Monroe, La., 18 moM was not known in the mosif business community. “If you go to the south I town, he was very well kiwi Coca, referring to the nantly minority section of to4 She said he was a familiaij to many Hispanic and blackl| whom he gave lavish gifts, in* televisions and motorcycles Coca said the district attoml fice was sending letters outl lies of the 54 children whostf turned up, plus all of Etherit>| surance customers, mainly' ties.
