/ ' . \ 3 " NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Wednesday, September IV, IMS Pao* S Nation Parents keep young; home for 2nd day NEW YORK (UPI) -- Hundreds of parents picketed elementary schools in Queens for a second day Tuesday to protest a city panel- decision al­ lowing a 7-year-old child born with AIDS to attend classes. Attendance figures were not im­ mediately available but a boycott that kept 18,000 students out of class­ es on Monday was expected to continue. Police Department spokesman Edward Kulesa said more than 850 people, many of them mothers of schoolchildren, picketed outside at least nine separate schools in Queens. It was the second consecutive day of such protests. On Monday, parents chanting "boycott" jammed a school audito­ rium in Queens as community lead­ ers and politicians took the podium to speak against allowing children with AIDS in classes. Greeted with thunderous shouts of support Monday night, Samuel Granirer, president of Community School Board 27, told the parents, "You know what you have to do in your hearts." Parents in districts 27 and 29 in Queens kept more than 18,000 chil­ dren out of classes Monday on the first day of school to protest the city's decision to allow a second- grader with acquired immune defi­ ciency syndrome to attend classes. About 49,237 students attend the 63 schools in the two districts. Education officials said the Queens boycott did not significantly affect citywide attendance totals, es­ timating that 98 percent of the city's 946,000 students showed up at the city's 913 schools. But emotions reached a fever pitch at P.S. 63 in Ozone Park Mon­ day night as more than 500 parents crowded into a small auditorium and several hundred peered in through windows and milled about outside. The hall was filled with chants of "boycott" and "Two, four, six, eight. No AIDS in any grade." One parent held a sign that read, FURNACE SALE s MODEL 397H or 396H SAVE UP TO 40% ON YOUR FUEL BILL WITH fSEOk fit I Replace your present furnace| Iwith aa ifflll ia ENERGY SAVING HBMGAS FURNACE.!

More than 10,000 Queens children stayed home from school as parents led a protest of a decision by city to allow a second-grader with AIDS to attend school. "Our Children Want Good Grades, Not AIDS." The second-grader at the center of the controversy was described by city officials as outwardly healthy. He was the only one of four children with AIDS given permission Satur­ day to attend public school by a Board of Education psmeMhat re­ viewed their cases. The unidentified 7-year-old was born with AIDS, inheriting it from his mother, who contracted the dis­ ease frojn a contaminated hypoder­ mic needle. The student attended kindergarten and first-grade without incident. Officials would not say which one of the city's 623 elementary schools the student would attend but insisted the child would not endanger other students.

Authorities said Carl Andre, 50, with his wife, Ana Mendieta, >, a sculptor from Cuba, on Sunday id then pushed her from a window their two-bedroom apartment )ut 5:30 a.m. Police offered no motive for the argument or slaying. Andre, who also has a home in ly, is a founder of the Minimalist dI of sculpture. Andre, whose work has been ex­ ited in museums throughout the Jnited States and Europe, denied ivolvement in his wife's death. • At his arraignment Monday, Man- ittan Criminal Court Judge Max lyer denied a request by Andre's jrney, Gerry Rosen, to post his lient's work as bail instead of ),000 cash. XT Andre was remanded to Rikers vjsland. According to Manhattan District ttorney Robert Morgenthau, a jr-by heard screams that were consistent with someone being awn out the window." The original police report of the ^incident said Andre told officials he 'had a dispute with his wife and that £she went into the bedroom. A few ffiunutes later, the account said, he Twent into the bedroom but could not |find her. v * Mendieta's body was found on a I second floor extension roof. K- Born in Cuba, Mendieta arrived in £the U.S. following the Cuban revolu- ;tion. She studied at the University of vTowa and received a Guggenheim ^Fellowship. * The Book on Contemporary Art- vists describes Andre as a Minimalist 5 sculptor who was among the first to •advocate the use of everday materi­ als, such as bricks and metal pieces, - • ;'.-r "V. . f' inhibited at the Guggenheim Museum. New York Times chief art critic John Russell said Andre has been "internationally known as a gifted and serious artist since the late 1950s." He said Andre had recently created a "personal Stonehenge" in Quincy, Mass., where he was born. One of Andre's works raised a furor in 1977 in Hartford, Conn., where the mayor complained the city paid him $87,000 for "a bunch of stones." Andre, commissioned to do a work to be placed in a downtown square, placed 36 uncut boulders in a cre­ ation he later called "the greatest work of my career." The mayor, George Athanson, and some angry residents said Andre had played a bad joke on the city. Athanson sought to get rid of the sculpture and block payment of the $87,000 commission but city attor­ neys said the city could not change its mind.
