Police stress theft prevention
By RHONDA BETH

K.,1 and Black Suit H rllrr
The bell rings and you rush
out to catch the North-South
bus because you don’t want
to be late for chemistry
class Suddenly, you realize
that you left your purse in
your previous class Runn
ing back to your class, you
find your purse is there, but
the $23 in cash and one credit
card is gone. Sound silly? It
has happened before and it
could happen to you
Last month, money stolen
from dorm rooms alone
amounted to a total of $905
Other academic buildings
around campus have
reported combined losses of
$1,118
Sgt. David Brown of the
University Police Depart
ment and University Crime
Prevention Officer Carl
Travillian said many of
these misdemeanor thefts
could have been prevented
The following are some
security tips the University
police recommend which
might prevent your purse or
other property from being
stolen:
• Lock your office or dorm
room whenever you leave,
even if you will only be gone
fora minute.
• Keep your purse, wallet
and other valuables in a
secure location such as a
locked desk or filing cabinet
• If you are entrusted with a
key to a specific area, never
loan it to anyone Keys can
be easily lost, stolen or
duplicated
• Protect your property
through Operation Iden
tification by marking your
valuables with identifying
numbers To borrow an
engraver, contact the Crime
Prevention Unit of the
University police.
• Carry only the amount of
cash you will need for the
day. Credit cards are often
the target of purse thieves.
Make a written record of all
credit card numbers and
keep it in a secure place
• Most of all. Brown stress
ed the importance of wat
ching for suspicious persons
who have no business in your
area. If you see someone ac
ting in a strange manner, get
a good physical description
of the person and report him
immediately to the Universi
ty police. Brown said.

The dedication of College
Square begins officially at
noon, but the Classic City
Band will begin playing
oldies from the turn of the
century prior to the
ceremony.
The dedication of College
Square marks the end of con
struction on the area which
began last June. The square
is part of an overall plan to
revitalize downtown in
itiated by the Athens
Downtown Development
Authority and the Athens
Downtown Council with the
city of Athens
"The downtown will not
take a backseat to any other
program. College Square is
evidence that the city has
begun accepting the
challenge of change," said
Joe Burnette, director of the
ADDA.
The ceremony will open
with entertainment from a
barbershop quartet and a
devotional from Rev.
Charles Haisty of the First
Presbyterian Church,
followed by remarks by
Athens Mayor Lauren Coile.
Hal Coffer, president of the
Downtown Council. Univer
sity President Fred Davison,
and Louis Scruggs. Chair
man of the ADDA will also
speak John Waters, presi
dent of the Athens Tree Com
mission, will dedicate the
Athens Historic Tree Walk
Every tree along the
square will commemorate a
special event in Athens.
Each tree will receive a
number referring to a plaque
which dedicates the tree to
the event. A brochure with
further explanation of the
events will be available in
the area stores.
The grand opening theme
follows the theme of the
area's turn of the century
renovation. Many mer
chants have encouraged
their employees to wear
clothes from the period and
the Downtown Council
bought 350 straw hats which
will be distributed to mer
chants to wear, Burnett said
Newsboys, shoe-shine
boys, and flower venders
will be selling their wares on
the square Balloons will
also be given out
The council arranged for a
hot air balloon to be on the
square. However, if the
balloon is too big to fit in the
square, or if the weather
does not cooperate, the
balloon will not be there. A
one-hour ride in the balloon
worth $150 will be given
away at the Auburn pep rally
that evening. Shoppers can
register for the prize all day
Thursday.
Economists face off in
Union-sponsored debate
By SUSAN DIXON
Krd and Black Staff Writer
In cooperation with the College of
Business Administration, the University
Union is sponsoring a debate between
two well-known economists, George
Gilder and Lester Thurow The debate is
scheduled for this Thursday at 8 p.m in
the Memorial Hall Ballroom
George Gilder, a staunch “supply-
sider," wrote the book "Wealth and
Poverty" which has become virtual
gospel in the Reagan White House. Of
fice of Management and Budget Direc
tor David Stockman distributed the book
to numerous colleagues, and called it
“the best thing written on economic
growth.
Dramatic cuts in taxes and federal ex
penditures and stimulation of private in
vestment through fiscal incentives are
Gilder's answers to the American
economic malaise. Gilder believes
misguided government policies and pro
grams have fostered dependency and
crippled investment incentives
Gilder studied sociology and govern
ment at Harvard University. He became
involved in the formulation of supply-
side economics in the early 1970s as
chairman of the Lehrman Institute
Economic Roundtable and as program
director for the International Center of
Economic Policy Studies in New York
Lester Thurow is a favorite of the
liberal establishment because of his
book "The Zero Sum Society." Business
Week described the book as a "ruthless
ly honest, tough-minded book on what it
will take to restore the United States
economy to full health." Thurow argues
that the tax cuts proposed by Reagan
and supported by Gilder will increase
consumption rather than encourage in
vestment. He suggests a large tax in
crease on consumption instead, believ
ing that this would ulitmately revitalize
the economy.
Thurow graduated from Williams Col
lege and received advanced degrees
from Oxford and Harvard. Currently he
teaches at M.l.T. and serves as
economic columnist for the Los Angeles
Times Thurow has served on the Presi
dent's Council of Economic Advisers,
the NAACP Economic Advisory Council
and several other advisory groups
Thurow and Gilder both lecture exten
sively, but rarely debate one another.
The Athens debate is the only one
scheduled for the Southeast region
Tickets are available at the Memorial
Hall Business Office and cost $1 for
students. $2 general admission.

The next time you grumble
about a class project, think
about this: S Edward Law's
senior class project at North
Carolina State University
has brought him to the
brink of fame
The project centered
around his invention, the
electrostatic sprayer, which
is revolutionizing the
pesticide spraying industry.
It increases pesticide ap
plication efficiency from 20
percent to 80 percent, cuts
energy and feedstock costs
by 11 million barrels of oil
per year and decreases the
amount of pesticide left air
borne as a pollutant. Savings
to farmers because of the
sprayer could be as great as
$1 billion annually.
Law began working with
electrostatic forces in 1961 as
a senior at North Carolina
State After graduation, he
received a Postdoctoral
Research Fellow at
Beltsvillc Research Center
in Maryland He then took a
position at the Engineering
Research Laboratory in New
Jersey, and in 1970 he joined
the University's agricultural
engineering department

The effectiveness of Law s
electrostatic sprayer lies in
its use of electrical deposi
tion fields In simple terms,
electrostatic forces underly
static cling And that is
basically how the elec
trostatic sprayer w orks.
A cylindrically-shaped
electrode is embedded in a
nozzle which is in turn at
tached to a row-crop
sprayer. As pesticide flows
into the nozzle, it is sur
rounded by compressed air
Then, said Law, "as spray-
droplets are generated
within the nozzle in the
presence of the electrode's
field, they take on a negative
charge by electrostatic in
duction and are carried out
ward toward the plant
canopy by a stream of com
pressed air.”
When the negatively
charged particles reach the
neutral plant, like particles
repel like, and the plant is
left with a predominantly
positive charge. The
negatively charged pesticide
is then attracted to the
positively charged plant,
evenly coating both the top-
sides and undersides of the
leaves.
Early in its development.
Law encountered a major
problem wilh the sprayer.
Although it was not
necessary to alter electric
charge levels to accomodate
different pesticides, it was
found that various charge
levels became necessary
when spraying plants with
different leaf shapes
Pointed or irregularly
shaped leaf lips acted like
miniature lightening rods
that either bled off or
neutralized the electrified
pesticide cloud.
To insure that the spray
cloud is properly charged
and that the sprayer is
operating at maximum effi
ciency. Law has developed a
calibration and monitoring
system that he said may
eventually be "nothing more
complicated than an on-off
switch, a set of lights to in
dicate when the charge is
operating at the proper level
and when it is not. a charge
level selector device thal
allows the farmer to 'dial'
the pre- specified optimum
charge level for a given
crop."
As for the system's poten
tial use in other areas of
agriculture, Law said "the
next logical step is to
develop a system that could
be applied to a plane sur
face."
For this reason, the U S,
Golf Association is helping to
fund the development of the
sprayer for use on the turf
Law and other scientists
are also investigating the
possibilities of adapting the
system for orchard-
spraying. home gardening,
artificial pollination and
biological pest control
The University has
secured a patent for the elec
trostatic sprayer and has
assigned the Research Cor
poration of New York City
the rights to commercially
develop the sprayer in the
public interest Law said the
corporation is presently
coming to terms with a ma
jor farm machinery com
pany for that purpose
