Faking IDs gets tougher
By DURMERISS CRL'VER
HrA and Black Mall Wrilar
A computerized Universi
ty student ID system, in the
planning stages for more
than a year, was im
plemented recently in hopes
of making it more difficult to
obtain false ID cards
First used during spring
quarter pre registration, the
new computer system is an
effort to tighten the process
for issuing IDs Under the
old system, “a student could
get an ID card rather easi
ly," said Jerry Anthony,
business manager of Student
Activities
Last spring, a Red and
Black investigation revealed
that it was relatively easy to
obtain false IDs The new
computer system, already in
the planning stages when the
news story appeared, will
eliminate many of the
weaknesses revealed by last
year's investigation.
In the past, students need
ed only two pieces of iden
tification to obtain an ID
card This was later amend
ed to require students to pro
duce a photo-bearing docu
ment and a fee card, or non
photo bearing identification
and someone with a photo ID
to confirm the students
identification.
The new system, tied into
the student registration
system at Chicopee, acts as
a directory of information
The Student Activites office
can now verify information
on whether a student has
paid his fees, when and if the
student is enrolled at the
University, and how many
times, if any, an ID card has
been issued to this person
If a student tries to get an
ID without being eligible, the
computer will not produce
an ID card for him, Anthony
said.
Students seeking to
replace or to get new cards
must go through a process
that takes about 10-15
minutes The card itself can
actually be produced within
a few seconds, Anthony said
He said that although the
process will take a little
longer than before, the new
system will work out well.
In addition, the new
system will mean that ID
cards no longer need to be
preprinted, thus reducing
the time and waste of pro
ducing cards
Overall the computer
system is working well, "We
have added a little bit more
work, but we’re better off,”
Anthony said.

Students begin
survey of residents
for Liberty Cable
By JULIA THORNTON
Krd and Rlark Contributing Writer
Beginning this week. University graduate students are con
ducting a survey for Liberty TV Cable Inc. to solicit local
residents' opinions about what kind of cable channels they
would like to have.
When the survey is completed. Liberty will use the in
formation to determine what channels will be included in its
expanded 35-channel cable service.
The survey is part of an ongoing effort by Liberty to stay in
touch with its consumers, said Bob Denson, general manager
of Liberty.
Associate journalism Professor Roger Wimmer and jour
nalism Professor Joe Dominick designed the survey, which
consists of a list of possible cable channels and their descrip
tions Respondents rate each of these selections on a scale of
zero to five, according to which stations they would like to
have.
The students in Wimmer's Problems in Mass Communica
tion class will conduct 500 telephone interviews, and a copy of
the survey questionnaire is being printed in local newspapers
for people to fill out and return, Wimmer said.
The results of the survey will be sent to Liberty Cable the
first week in May, Dominick said.
Once the decision regarding which stations to carry has
been made, Liberty will implement the 35-channel capacity
in all customers' homes by the end of this year, Denson said
In addition to expanding the station capacity of the cables
already in use, Denson said. Liberty is expanding the cable
service to more homes in Athens and Clarke County.
Commissioning the school of journalism to do the survey
was "an opportunity to get the most impartial and realistic
input from consumers," Denson said.

UGA apples ‘knocked in head’
By TKRRI BLACKWELL
Kfd and Black Staff Writer
The superintendent of the University's
Georgia Mountain Branch Experiment Sta
tion said The facility may lose as much as
$6,000 worth of apples as a result of the
severe freeze that recently hit much of the
north-Georgia area.
Jim Dobson, superintendent of the
Blairsville facility, said that between 70 and
75 percent of this year's crop was lost in the
late March freeze.
"The north Georgia Red Delicious apples
got knocked in the head,” said Maurice Fer-
ree, an associate professor in the Universi
ty's extension horticulture department.
On March 27 and 28, the temperature dip
ped to 14 degrees and remained below freez
ing for several hours, Dobson said.
The Red Delicious variety was hardest hit
because it blooms earlier than the other
types of apples the station grows, which are
Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty and
Stayman, Ferree said.
Located near the Tennessee line, the sta
tion relies on the sale of some of the apples to
cover operating expenses. This year it will
depend on the sale of beef cattle, bell peppers
and soybeans to make up for the apple loss
The station grows the cattle and most of the
crops for experimental purposes.
Because of the warm weather that oc
curred before the freeze, the trees had
already bloomed, Dobson said.
Dobson and his crew tried to reduce the
loss by using an overhead irrigation system,
but because the temperatures stayed below
freezing for so long and the wind blew con
stantly, the system was ineffective.
“Had the air been still and the
temperature in the 20s, we would have pro
bably saved them," Dobson said.
When the apples grow at a high elevation,
the chances of saving them are greatly in
creased. He estimated that 40 percent of
those grown on higher ground were lost,
while 95 percent were lost on the lower eleva
tion.
