The Public Safety Division of the University Police this
week is launching a new public relations program with a
crime prevention bulldog and slogan designed by University
students
The slogan, "Put a Collar on Crime," is an attention get
ting device attempting to sell people on crime prevention, Lt.
Gail Hoppe said
"The program is aimed at the whole UGA community —
students, faculty and administrative staff — but especially
students,” Hoppe said "They come and go so much each
quarter it's hard to reach them. The program helps us help
them avoid being a victim "
"What we're doing is incorporating the dog into our lec
tures on rape prevention, theft and burglary , and on all
printed posters," Hoppe said
To help involve students in the new program, the police
went to two of Lee Wenthe's Advertising Copywriting classes
and asked the students to come up with names and slogans
for the program They told students that their design would
be shown on buses, on campus, and on all printed material
put out bv the University Police
Hutch Hodgeson, the student who came up with the slogan,
said, "All they really did was give us a picture of what the
looked like. They said name the dog and come up with a
slogan."
Hodgeson said he was surprised that his slogan was picked,
and that the finished product would definitely be in his
portfolio.
Carol Caronis, an art student, drew the design for the
bulldog which will appear on all the material
Hoppe said the program should officially start sometime
this week "We want to get the people - the community
aware of crime and how it occurs," he said.
The national crime prevention dog, Sgt McGruff, whose
slogan is "Take a Bite Out of Crime," has done a good job of
getting people's attention as far as locking their doors, Hoppe
said.
The Athens Crime Prevention Department also has
launched a program with the national crime dog, but they
will not be working with the University Police Department

• Kri .ml Htark I nntritNIIlnic Writer
• The Bible, Mark Twain's
i “Huckleberry Finn," Plato's
• Republic, the works of
'• Shakespeare and “Women in

• books college students
i should be familiar with,
i according to several
• University professors
! The four professors in-
! terviewed were asked to
; compile a list of recom-
j mended required readings
ifor the average college
; student and the reasons
t behind their choices
: The professors in
terviewed were: Frederick

•department. Coburn Freer,
‘.head of the English
; department; Jaek Payne
• dean of the College of Arts
'.and Sciences; and Frank
i 'Thompson, head of the
political science depart
ment
; Each professor, although
•from different departments,
jdid not rely wholly on their
! field of specialization as
[criterion for their selection
: Ferre chose the Bible,
[Plato's Dialogues.
•Shakespeare's Completed
iWorks, Arnold Toynbee's “A
■Study of History" and Mark
jTwain's "Huckleberry
[Finn ”
• Ferre said he feels the
jbible is a profoundly im-
jportant book "It tells what
•we are about and it is the
•whole realm of the human
lexperience” Ferre said,
•"Plato is the father of
.Western philosphy, he
Kim Rlnmn Thi'T^ed and Black
PR’s crime bulldog
reflects critically and
compassionately on life's
reality."
Ferre said Shakespeare
describes the texture of
human life Students should
read Toynbee, he said,
because "everyone should
have some sense of historic
change and why we got the
way we are " Ferre said he
chose "Huckleberry Finn"
because all students should
read something for pure
enjoyment
Freer also chose the works
of Shakespeare along with
Hemingway's short stories.
Faulkner's "The Sound and
the Fury," Hawthorne's
short stories, anything by
Milton and Dicken's "David
Copper field.”
Freer said, “Hemingway
shows how the forces of
disintegration work at the
modern mind Faulkner is
interesting as a Southern
writer and a great innovator
in modern English
Hawthorne gives ex
traordinary insights in the
Puritan consciousness."
Jack Payne chose Rene
Vallery-Radot's “The Life of
Pastuer," Nicholas Mon
sarrat's “The Cruel Sea,"
Albert Camu's “The
Plague," D.H Lawrence’s
“Women in Love," and
Faulkner's "Absalom,
Absalom "
Payne said Rene Vallery-
Radot's book “is a biography
of an exemplary human
being This book should be
an inspiration to us all," said
Payne "The Cruel Sea,”
Payne said, "is one of the
Vitamin C useless
for fighting cancer
Payne helped compile book list
many books that depict the
horror and desperation of
war It shows the bravery all
humans are capable of."
"The Plague,” Payne said,
“describes the range of
expression and courage
under unrelenting op
pressive conditions and
terrors.”
"Women in Love” is a
good novel about young
people searching for perfect
love and "Absalom, Ab
salom" is a great story of
society In transition, of our
society In America and here
in the South, Payne said
Each professor felt that
not enough students had
read the books listed;
however, a few students are
familiar with several of the
books
Freer said he felt it more
important for students to
have acquired a level of
reading and writing skills
which come by reading most
books
Some of the books listed
are required in certain
classes taught by the
professors; however, each
professor felt these books
should be read for en
joyment and growth, not as a
requirement, where one
feels it is a must.
Although different books
were chosen by each
professor, all agreed that
compiling a short list of
reading was very hard
“There are just too many
good books," Ferre said.
BOSTON (AP) - A study
has found that large doses of
vitamin C are worthless
against advanced cancer,
and the researcher criticized
Nobel laureate Linus
Pauling for recommending
that cancer patients take the
vitamin.
Pauling, a winner of the
Nobel Peace Prize and the
Nobel Prize for chemistry,
has advocated vitamin C as
a treatment for both cancer
and the common cold. His
advice was based, in part, on
studies conducted in the
1970s showing that the
vitamin seemed to
dramatically lengthen the
survival of people with
extensive cancer.
The latest study, con
ducted at the Mayo Clinic,
says that research was
flawed because the patients
who took vitamin C were not
compared with similarly ill
cancer victims who did not
take large doses of the
vitamin.
"Whether one is dealing
with the treament of the
common cold or of cancer,
and whether one is dealing
with a benign vitamin or a
highly toxic chemotherapy
program," the researchers
wrote, “if would seem to
serve the interest of the
patient best for public ad

In an interview, Pauling

mendation. He said vitamin

cancer patients some good
The new research,
published in Thursday's New
England Journal of
Medicine, tested vitamin C
on 100 people with incurable
colon cancem.
"Our previous study and
this one have demonstrated
to my satisfaction that
vitamin C Is worthless in the
treatment of advanced and

cancer," said Dr. Charles G
Moertel, who directed the
study at the Mayo Clinic at
Rochester, Minn.
