Traffic survey conducted
By SUSAN LACCETTI
Ked and Hlark Mall Writer
A Memphis, Tenn based consulting firm
is conducting a campus traffic study to
determine if a need exists to build more
parking facilities or to increase transit ser
vices
Joe Broadhurst, director of Business
Services said the study will include traffic-
counts at intersections, parking lots, dor
mitories, and campus buildings at various
hours of the day Peak hours based on
class scheduling will especially be noted
The survey will take six months
Larry Wills of the research firm.
Harland. Bartholomew and Associates,
Inc . said the current University traffic
study should he “fairly typical with no
more difficulty than encountered in the
past."
The research project, which could cost
$25,000, will provide the long-range plan
ning information the University needs to
regulate traffic, Broadhurst said
Once problem areas are discovered im
mediate changes can be put into effect.
Broadhurst said He said better use of cur
rent resources is the primary goal
Preliminary reports will be made as the
study progresses. Once the study is com
plete, the firm will recommend where to
improve traffic and parking difficulties.
Broadhurst and the University traffic
committee will then determine where to
recomment construction if the firm deems
it necessary.
Broadhurst said the study would take in
to account the likely effect on traffic and
parking of two parking decks slated for
construction on south campus

Commission looks at prisons
BySUSAN BRANDT
IN and Black < iMilribuling Writer
The Clarke County Board
of Commissioners con
sidered a propsoal Tuesday
to sentence people convicted
of minor crimes to weekend
work details on county pro
jects, rather than to in
carcerate them in the county
jail.
People convicted of misde
meanors such as public
drunkeness are sometimes
sentenced to serve time in
the county jail on weekends,
but they are not given any
type of work detail
Clarke County Sherriff
Jerry Massey wants to take
the unproductive prisoners
and give them something to
do.
It would get the men out of
the already overcrowded
jail and cut down the ex
penses involved with hous
ing them for the weekend.
Massey said
The weekend work detail
would not work well at the
Clarke County Correctional
Institution. Warden C.E.
Greenway said The in
mates, because of the tran
sient nature of their
sentences, would be disrup
tive to the prison, which
generally houses prisoners
who are serving sentences of
a year or more, he said.
The weekend prisoners
would also incur a financial
loss to the prison, keeping
beds open during the week
that would otherwise be fill
ed by federally subsidized
prisoners. Officials
estimate between seven and
25 criminals would be af
fected by the program
Athens-Clarke County
Magistrate Court Judge
Pierre Boulougne, Green
wood, Massey and the com
missioners will meet
sometime next week to con
sider the proposal
Green way also informed
the commissioners of a pro
posed 50 percent govern
ment subsidy increase for
the county institute. This
would increase the bed
capacity from the present 78
percent to 100 percent The
cost incurred by the jail will
only be for materials in
prison labor is used, Green
wood said.
Also at the meeting, the
county Board of Elections
reported that due to distric
ting problems, more polling
place's will be needed for the
Feb. 16 consolidation vote.
Consolidation will com
bine the Athens government
with the Clarke County
government. The present
governments will be replac
ed by one 11 -member body.
Space group looks to the stars
By COl.I.KEN WALSH
Ked and Klerk Stall Writer
For most of us, a 1 1 . hour
drive into Atlanta is a long
trip, and an exotic evening is
one spent going to the 40-
Watt Club Now imagine
traveling 4 6 light years to
Alpha Centauri for a bite to
eat, or stepping into a black,
weightless void when you go
for a walk
A campus group called
Students for the Exploration
and Development of Space
(SEDS) is preparing to meet
these and other challenges
that may become the scien
tific and economic realities
of the future.
The University chapter of
SEDS is part of an interna
tional network boasting
members in the United
States, Australia, Canada
and the United Kingdom.
The 35-member group
registered with Student Ac
tivities in October 1981, said
club president Scott Jacobs.
Jacobs started the Univer
sity chapter after he saw a
letter sent out by the club's
charter members —
students at Princeton
University and the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology
Club members said they
hope the club will awaken
the public to the advantages
and resources of space and
act as a forum for the ex
change of ideas about space
development
Although their goals sound
like something Buck Rogers
would be proud of, Jacobs in-
sested that SEDS is no
science fiction society.
"The club is made up of
level-headed, rational people
who don't have their heads in
the stars," Jacobs said. "We
are future-oriented students
interested in the scientific
realities of space explora
tion.
Jacobs relays facts:
— “Did you know that
McDonnell Douglas Corp. is
working with Johnson and
Johnson to build the first fac
tory in space to manufacture
drugs by 1986"
— "The 1983 NASA budget
will come to a vote this spr
ing They year's budget is
only 6.4 billion”
And admonishments:
— "We were hurt badly by
Reagan's cutbacks. Write
letters to your congressman
and complain.”
"We can’t start to educate
the world about space if we
don’t know anything
ourselves.”
How much clout does the
group have?
“If we can organize a
letter-writing campaign to
promote space research as
an international organiza
tion. it would be very effec
tive," Jacobs said. An Oc
tober, 1981 Associated
Press • NBC News Survey
found that 60 percent of the
American population is in
favor of the space program.
"The problem is getting
them united to do something
about it," he said.
SEDS meets on the first
and third Tuesdays of every
month and will, feature
speakers representing the
military, as well as the
disciplines of astronomy and
physics. Movies and slide
shows on new developments
on the space scene will also
be shown, according to pro
gram coordinator Wade Har
rison.
"I was a little leery, at
first, about the success of the
club,” Harrison says, "But
after this last meeting, I
think it'sgoing to catch on.”

Former U.S. Secretary of
State Dean Husk said
Wednesday that Third World
countries need im
provements in education,
public health, prductivity
and transportation more
than a transfer fo payments
from developed countries.
Rusk, who is now Sibley
Professor of International
Law, gave the keynote ad
dress to the symposium on
“The Private Sector and
Development” at the
University’s Georgia Center
of Continuing Education.
Rusk said private
businesses could provide aid
in amounts not available
from tax funds, but that “ aid
from the private sector has
to be voluntary . "
Third World countries
"must compete against all
other demands" for in
dustrial capital and provide
insurance schemes protec
ting against wars, na
tionalization and civil wars
to attract captital. Rusk
said.
Prok Amaranand, am
bassador of the Royal Thai
Embassy and Morris Bryan,
president of Jefferson Mills
of Jefferson. Ga. and past
president of the American
Textile Manufacturers In
stitute. responded to Rusk’s
remarks afterwards
Rusk cited the aid Mexico
had given to other develop
ing countries and said other
countries should contribute
more to development.
Amaranand said he
favored President Reagan’s
proposal urging private sec
tor development of emerging
nations, but urged care in
applying the program to
specific countries.
The program “needs to be
done country by country”
following consultation with
each, Amaranand said.
Bryan said he started
business 25 years ago with
four goals in mind, and that
these goals should guide
Financial aid system tested
The University does not plan to participate
in a nationwide computerized financial aid
system even though authorities contend the
system will improve management of student
aid information.
Two states, Florida and Washington, have
been chosen to participate as pilot states
with the program which will link student aid
programs across the country.
The program will be launched next
January and will be a long-lasting one. The
College Entrance Examination Board is con
ducting the program.
The new computer system is designed to
serve as a national data bank, eliminating
financial aid problems caused by the in
terstate movement of students. It will also
deal with the bookkeeping and financing
behind student loans. Loan repayments will
also be recorded.

private second involvement
in Third World development.
Business should take care
of the customer, take care of
the employees, make as
much money as possible and
take earnings and invest
many of them in community
service. Bryan said.
Small group sessions on
the public sector, the private
sector and developing coun
tries were held after the
opening session, with a ques
tion and answer session
Wednesday afternoon.
