Aids Continued from Page 1 But it also was a time to reflect on the frailty of lifeand remcmher friends who had died of AIDS, he said. The vigil was a tribute to the power of symbolism, Gajardo said. People can relate better to symbols than to rational arguments, he said. Marchers wore red ribbonsas sym bols of AIDS awareness and carried lightsand candles as symbolsof hope, he said. “We are hoping that as the feeble little light of a candle can break the encompassing power of darkness, so the concerns and sympathies of a few people can overcome the sense of despair, isolation and hurt that is fell by those who arc HIV positive or suffer from the AIDS epidemic,” Gajardo said. The candlelight vigil was an act of solidarity with those who suffer from not only HIV, he said, but also the indifference and sneers of those who are ill-informed about the virus. “We must renew our commitment to find a cure for HIV,” he said, “and to keep pressure on those who have the power to allocate funds for re search and development of new drugs, now, and new vaccines, now.” Gov. Ben Nelson and Mayor Mike Johanns expressed their regrets for not being able to attend the rally. Both Nelson and Johanns were out of town. City Council chairwoman Coleen Seng told participants that she had noticed a decrease in attendance over the years since 1988. But she said she saw greater con sciousness of the disease reflected in prayers at church. “I notice that more people pray for folks with AIDS, whether that means that they are more open about their prayers, or does that mean that more of our folks have AIDS? ” Marchers participated in a moment of silence and called out the names of people they knew who had died of AIDS. Gajardo said remembering AIDS victims was important. “A community without a memory will never be able toenvision a differ ent history,” he said, “but as long as we can remember, there is hope.” Colonial Dining Room sports modern design By Stacie Hakel Staff Reporter_ The newly remodeled Colonial Dining Room in the Nebraska Union offers faculty, staff and students a new look — and more than a quick hamburger and fries. Summer renovations include a new entrance, new carpet,chairs and wall paper, repainted walls and a veranda with a trellis. Accented with colors of blue and mauve, linen tablecloths, fresh flow ers and china dinncrwarc, the dining room is now more contemporary, said Richard Zierkc, assistant director to food service. Daryl Swanson, director of the Nebraska Union, said thedining room was renovated to update its 20-ycar old decor. Surplus bond funds paid for the renovation, which cost about $9,500, he said. Zierkc said the renovation was done to boost sales and gain new custom ers. “I guess I want to get rid of that faculty/staff attitude,” he said. Zierke said the dining room was not only for “bigwigs” but also for students. Stephanie McCallistcr, a junior advertising major, said she thought eating at the dining room was a nice change from fast food. But she said she thought it still catered more toward professors than students. Another change to the dining room, Zierke said, is that meals now are served to the table, instead of being set up in buffet style. The menu includes daily specials, soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, beverages, vegetarian plates and des serts. The Colonial Dining Room isopen Monday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Bustin' to be Bogey? Dying to be Dietrich?
