Quilt serves as memorial to AIDS victims DALLAS (AP) — One after an other, the names were read: Marvin Feldman, who was the first on the quilt. ‘Baby D,’ who died unnamed in a Fort Worth hospital. Mike Sobri- eski, an architect who was remem bered by his friends. Eight hundred tearful mourners listened as City Council members, AIDS activists and health-care pro viders Wednesday night read a list of AIDS victims whose names have been recorded on the national me morial quilt. And they watched, some of them sobbing, as 1,400 cloth panels un folded that, square by square, memo rialize victims of the acquired im mune deficiency epidemic from across the country. “A lot of people have come to let go,” Dan Perry, an organizer, said of the quilfs visit to Dallas. “This is meant to be catharsis.” The national memorial quilt dis played Wednesday and Thursday at Fair Park’s Centennial Hall was started more than two years ago, when San Francisco gay leader Cleve Jones cut a single, 3-by-6 foot square of cloth in memory of his best friend, Marvin Feldman. More than 175 panels were made in Dallas in the past three months and hung at the hall’s entrance, said Daryl Moore, president of the Peo ple With AIDS Coalition. way the C >ur cake and Sreek.

It will include classroom activities, career counseling, communications skills and problem solving techniques. Each of the students will be working with faculty members on specific re search projects, Darby said. The students also will have the opportui^ity to go on plant tours of Shell Oil in Houston, Exxon in Baytown and Dow Chemical in Freeport.” Adams said that students interested in careers in natural sciences will be exposed to state-of-the- art laboratory facilities and techniques. “Our program will focus on wildlife ecology, fisheries-aquaculture and the natural studies of museums and the diversity of wildlife in the Bra zos Valley,” he said. “The students will pick a field they are interested in studying for two weeks and will do extensive exploration into that field, interacting with professionals not only from Texas A&M but from state and federal en tities as well as private industry.” A trip to Galveston is planned to familiarize the students with the A&M marine biology de partment there, Adams said. “The students will keep a diary, known as ‘field notes,’ in which they will enter their new findings and experiences,” Adams said. “Our program is only sponsoring 15 students for two weeks,” Adams said. “We’re starting small, testing the water.” Adams said that he plans to continue the pro gram even after funding runs out in two years. “Our program wouldn’t work without the gen erous support of our 18 faculty members,” he said. “We have a vision of funding our own pro gram when the NSF funding stops in two years. It’s a great way to recruit kids.” Although the two programs are separate from one other, both are selecting applicants with simi lar qualifications. “We want to recruit the ‘shakers and the movers,’ not only those students who have high grades in advanced courses, but also those who display determination and outside interests,” he said. Both programs are placing emphasis op select ing minorities, females and financially disadvan taged students. Darby said he wants to attract those students who have a potential to succeed but no opportu nity to try. “We hope to attract students from smaller and rural high schools that don’t have elaborate sci ence programs,” he said. “We want to encourage students, especially minorities and women, to se lect engineering careers.” Adams said students will be selected after care ful reviewing of their applications, counselors’ recommendations and personal essays. An expected positive feedback from students about this summer’s program should generate interest in next year’s camp, Adams said. “The students will benefit from the program, but we can’t be responsible for the positive effects that the A&M campus and its students will have on students in terms of their futures and univer sity choice,” he said. olice catch “Dapper Bandit” after bank heist bery and ordered held in lieu of $500,000 bond Thursday following the hold-up of a Bright Banc branch Wednesday, police Capt.
