Rusk papers to be shown
By JULIA HAND
R«4 id Mirfc Staff H rHrf
The Dean Rusk Center and
the University librariea are
working together to create
the Dean Ruak Collection, a
collection of papers, per
sonal interviews, and oral
histories of the career of
Dean Rusk
Rusk served as the
Secretary of Stale from 1961
to 1969 and is currently a
University professor of
international law
Thomas Schoenbaum,
executive director of the
Dean Rusk Center, said the
papers will pertain to the
period after Rusk left office
as Secretary of State Rusk
took no papers with him
when he left that office,
Schoenbaum said
•'We also want to have a
public display of
photographs and memen
Dean Rusk
tos," he said "It would be
analogous to the Hichard B
Russell Library ”
The director is working
with Rusk's son. Richard, to
put together orgal histories
of the elder Rusk and his
contemporaries
‘we’re looking
for funding...’
— Thomas
Schoenbaum
David Bishop, director of
libraries, said the collection
is going to be located in the
Richard B Russell Library,
but it is unlikely to be open
this year
“We're still in the
beginning of the planning
stages,''he said
The collection will be open
to the public, yet there will
be more restrictions. Bishop
said "Portions of the
material could be scaled,
and researchers will have to
sign in and be observed "
The project will not be
financed by University
funds. Schoenbaum said
“We're looking for funding
from private organizations
and foundations." he said
The main costs include
copying of the papers, travel
of those working on the
project and the hiring of a
graduate student to help set
up the project. Schoenbaum
said.
Much of the material is to
be selected from the Johnson
and Kennedy Libraries and
the National Archives,
Schoenbaum said Personal
tapes and books are to be
included, along with
bibliographies, he added
Also, personal television
and radio interviews of Rusk
are to be a part of the
collection, Schoenbaum
said.
Discrimination test given to students
ATLANTA (AP) -
Seventy-five middle school
students who volunteered to
be victims of discrimination
knew what was going to
happen, but still weren't
ready for it. said the teacher
who staged the experiment
The students at Sandy
Springs Middle School were
labeled “Yooups" (YOu are
not one of the grOUPi for the
day Tuesday In an effort to
heip them understand what
it was like to be black in
America before the civil
rights movement The ex
periment was part of the
school's observance of
Martin Luther King Jr.’s
birthday
"The entire experiment
was explained to them in
advance by their homeroom
teachers and they knew what
was going to happen." said
David Rector, who
organized the experiment at
the predominantly (MM
school in suburban Atlanta
“But they weren't really
ready for what happened
That's the whole point ft's
something you have to live to
understand
The students — blacks,
whites and Orientals — wore
white armbands identifying
them as yooups
They were jeered by other
students, forced to use the
“yooups only” water
fountain and restroom,
segregated during lunch and
class and discriminated
against by teachers who
blamed them for the
misconduct of other
students
The yooups also rode in the
back of the bus on the way to
school and entered the
building through a specially
marked "yooups only"
entrance
"This morning they
thought it was going to be a
fun activity." Rector said
Tuesday after the ex-
‘Some of us aren’t used to being
told to sit in the back of the
room....’
— A middle school student
periment was over “but
there was a noticeable
change as the day
progressed
"I could see the ap
prehension buiding in the
yooups As the day wore on.
they began to ask questions
about being physically and
verbally abused," he said
“It's terrible.” Brant
Petree said "Everybody
makes fun of you. It makes
you feel bad, hurts your
feelings.”
"It was real hard work,"
said John Tyson “Some of
us aren't used to being told to
sit in the back of the room,
line up last, eat a different
dessert, getting snapped at
by the teachers "
By the end of the day.
Rector said the yooups told
him they had "learned a
great deal about their fellow
students and teachers
Court allows drug searches
WASHINGTON (AP) - For years.
President Reagan and other critics have
complained that the courts have given too
much liberty to students and taken too much
authority away from teachers
Now the highest court in the land may have
redressed the balance of power with its
decision allowing school officials to conduct
“reasonable" searches of students for drugs
or other contraband The Supreme Court, in
its 6-3 ruling Tuesday, said students do not
foresake all of their Fourth Amendment
rights against unreasonable searches when
they walk in the schoolhouse door But it said
teachers and other supervisors do not need to
meet the police standard of "probable
cause" or obtain a court warrant before
conducting a search
The Reagan administration had filed a
brief on the side of the Piscataway, N J.,
school officials who had senrehod a 14 year
old freshman's purse after she was caught
smoking
The search turned up rolling papers and
marijuana, the girl later was found
delinquent after admitting to police she had
sold some marijuana cigarettes to
classmates The New Jersey Supreme Court
overturned the dehquency finding, ruling
that the search had violated the student's
rights But the nation's high court now has
reinstated the delinquency verdict
Reagan has been calling for restoration of
“good old-fashioned discipline" as part of his
crusade to exhort schools to raise their
academic standards
He complained last February, “For too
long, courts and others have concentrated on

New stamp issued
protecting the rights of the disruptive few
Well, it's high time we paid some attention to
the rights of the well behaved students who
want to learn "
A White House staff report on discipline
problems a year ago stressed the importance
of defending the rights of educators in cases
where they were pitted against the rights of
students
Gary Bauer, deputy undersecretary of the
Department of Education, who helped craft
that discipline report, said teachers "can't
be lawyers and policemen at the same time
We feel the standards that teachers and
principals have been under too
severe "
Gary Sykes, a former National Institute of
Education researcher now at Stanford
University, wrote in The Wilson Quartery
last January that students "have gradually
acquired a broad array of First Amendment
rights in the classroom " since 1943. when the
Supreme Court ruled in West Virginia vs
Barnette that students could not be com
pelled to salute the flag
A pivotal civil liberties ruling came in 1969
when the court decided that students could
not be expelled for wearing black armbands
to protest the Vietnam war
In the case. Tinker vs Des Moines schools,
the late Justice Abe Fortas wrote that
students do not "shed their constitutional
rights to freedom of speech and expression at
the schoolhouse gate " And in 1973, in Goss
vs Lopez, the court ruled that students
facing suspension had some due-process
rights

The University's founding
father and brain child of
state universities. Abraham
Baldwin, is the focus of a
new stamp being issued Jan
25 by the U S Postal Service
The seven-cent stamp
commemorates the 200th
anniversary of America's
state University System
Jackie A Strange,
southern regional Post
master General, will
keynote the ceremonies with
Athens' Post Master Larry
Maddox presiding, ana
University President Fred
Davison giving the welcome
Bicentennial Coordinator
Carol Winthrop said a small
post office will be set up so
that stamp collectors and the
public can purchase post
marked first-day-of-issue
covers and stamps
Athens will be the only city
in the nation selling the
Baldwin stamp on Jan 25
The official first-day of
issue cover is an envelope
which features a four-color
design which incorporates
the University's most
familiar landmarks, the
Arch, the Chapel and the
numerals 200 to denote the
University’s birthday It was
designed by University
emeritus art professor
1-amar Dodd and will sell for
93 The proceeds will become
a part of the University's
general scholarship fund,
said Larry Dendy. assistant
director of public relation
According to Maddox, the
stamp will be a big seller
"Stamp collecting is the
world's most popular
hobby,” Maddox said "With
the historical value of
Baldwin, we are already
getting a lot of stamp
requests from all over the
nation."
The stamp is part of the
Postal Service's Great
Americans Series It will be
in use for the next 10 to IS
years
"It is best that the stamp
will be issued as a 7-cent
stamp. Maddox said "If it
had been issued as a 22-cent
stamp, with the rate in
crease Feb 17. then the
stamp would have only been
in circulation for several
years Also, the first-day-of-
issue and UGA's Bicen
tennial would not have
coincided "
The red-colored stamp is
the result of four years of
work done by the Bicen
tennial Planning Committee
The committee submitted its
stamp idea to the Citizens
Stamp Advisory Committee
in 1980 The stamp was then
selected through the letter
writing help of the National
Associatoin of State
Universities and Land Grant
Colleges Approximately
5.000 stamps are petitioned
yearly to the stamp com
mlttee. and only 20 or 30 are
approved. Maddox said
Artist Richard Sparks
drew the picture on the
stamp from a Charles F
Naegele portrait of Baldwin
that is on display at the
Bicentennial Exhibition
display ed in Memorial Hall
The entire week of Jan 20
to 27 has been designated as
Founders Week with the
stamp ceremony as only one
event The activities will
climax Jan 26 with a
banquet at the University
Coliseum
Baldwin was a minister,
lawyer, educator and
politician After four years
as a chaplin in the
Revolutionary Army, the
Yale University graduate
moved to Georgia in 1783 He
practiced law in Augusta
and was elected as a state
representative from Wilkes
County In 1784 he drafted a
document that became the
charter of the University
The next year the Georgia
General Assembly adopted
the charter creating the
nation's first state univer
