Greg Brown takes pleasure in the simple things offered by life. Tuesday night,
the folk artist from Iowa shared his pastoral philosophy with the audience in
CSUFs Satellite Union.
Brown's deep, throaty voice was perfectly suited to the blending melody of
country and blues that he coaxed from his
guitar. He sang of love, fast food, slow
food, children and life while poking fun at
niceties lhat have become the social
norm. "I Don't Want to Have A Nice
Day" is his answer to a phrase that has become meaningless with repetition.
"I know this is a contemporary life,
but it's a little odd to me," said Brown
when he took center stage dressed in his
faded jeans. "Everytime I go out to tour. I
keep waiting for sophistication to over-
lake me. It never does."
But while sophistication may have
never caught up with Brown, success has.
Brown has released Five albums and was a
regular on public radio's, "A Prairie
Home Companion" from 1983-85. He is
also a great lover of poetry, mentioning
that e.c. aimmings and Dylan Thomas
were as graat an influence on him in his
youth as the Rolling Stones. But the poet
that has proved 10 be his lasting favorite
is William Blake, some of whose poetry

Limits of AS Senate questioned
By Steve Fountain
Staff Writer
The limits of the Associated Sludents Senate's power
were questioned on two occasions at Tuesday's Senate
meeting.
Kris Hawkins, chair of the Campus Children's Center
Advisory Board, objected to changes recommended to
the advisory board's bylaws by the AS Legal and Legislative Commiuee,
Hawkins said the AS failed to bring the advisory
board into meetings regarding any bylaw changes.
Most of the changes proposed by the Legal and Legislative Committee dealt wiih modification in par-
liamenlary procedure, according to the committee's chair
Ron Avedesian.
Avedesian said one major change was recommended—making the Children's Cenier open only to
children of sludents.
Hawkins, along with CSUFs California State
Students Association representative Beverly Raine, said
the AS did not have ihe authority to make such a
change because the Children's Center is not solely funded by the AS.
Because the center receives state funding, Hawkins
and Raine maintained changes could not be made unless
mandated by the state.
Avedesian said lhat since the state funds come
through the AS before going to the center, "the AS has
absolute power over the center's bylaws."
The Children's Center was scrutinized when it was
discovered five children of staff members were in the
center, despite a large number of students' children on a
waiting list for admission to the center.
A report released last July by the CSU Chancellor's
Office established a priority system for the admission of
children into centers.
Priority for admission are:
1) Children of low income students.
2) Children of other enrolled students.
3) Children of campus employees.
The report continues: "Children in category 3 should
not be admitted until a reasonable effort has been made
to accommodate all eligible applicants in categories 1
and 2."
Ii is unclear as to Itow the five children gained admission to lhe center, as there has always been a student
waiting list for the center.
Hawkins sent letters through the campus mail after
the meeting to all members of the senate outlining the
advisory board's complaints with lhe situation.
The AS is slated to vote on the changes at next

AIDS victim gives own perspective
By Linh Nguyen
Staff Writer
AILS is a disease thai has no cure or
ethics; the virus just runs around and
creates more viruses, leaving its victims
to wresde with the wretched miseries of
dying and public scrutiny, said Clark
Kenly, AIDS victim and Shanti volunteer.
Kenly spoke during a lecture on the
"Psychosocial Aspects of AIDS" Tuesday
and said he did not dwell on die negative
aspects of dying. Instead, he channels his
energy by volunteering for the Shanti
Project in San Francisco that helps other
AIDS victims cope with the illness.
Shanti is a public service group started
'.../ never expected this to happen in my life,
but I found reasons to still be on this planet.*
— Clark Kenly
14 years ago and now has more than 700
volunteers providing emotional support
for AIDS victims, along with counseling
support groups for their friends and
families.
Accepting death is not an easy emotional situation io be burdened by anyone,
said Kenly, and it look him a period of
hard times to deal with his situation. "I
was suicidal for so long lhat to hear
[AIDS] diagnosed is redundanL..l never
expected this to happen in my life, but I
found reasons to still be on this planet."
he said. ^
Carol Kleinmaier, emotional support
volunteer coordinator for the Shanti Project said, "AIDS is a terrible disease
because there'? so few facts, and so much
understanding is needed to inform society."
Kenly's illness started in 1981 when
flu symptoms began to invade his life and
his next five years were filled with visiting doctors and hospitals. It wasn't until
two years ago that he was officially diagnosed as having AIDS.
It look plemy-of help from the Shanti
support group. which eventually helped
htm realize that he is just a victim. He
said, "I joined the support group to claim
a pan of me lhat was squashed down
because when 1 was younger I couldn't
'throw the bull right or I acted too
feminine."
He continued to explain the process of
coming io terms with his sexuality. "1
