Interim faculty dining hall opens soon
By Chrto ( Ionia
Hrd and Hlark tenlor Heporlr-
Beginning the second week of April, (acuity
members will be able to meet at a newly-cre
ated interim facility at Memorial Hall to lunch
and lounge with their peers
John Garst, chemistry professor and chair of
the University Council's Faculty Center Plan
ning Committee, said the center, which will oc
cupy the Memorial Hall rotunda and its two
adjoining wings, has been needed for a long
time.
“The faculty here beleives it's very difficult
for South Campus faculty to see North Campus
faculty except under professional circum
stances,” he said
The Georgia Room at Snelling Hall origi
nally was billed as a faculty meeting place, but
is overcrowded and not convenient for North
Campus faculty, Garst said
"The Georgia Room is not a faculty dining
room, it's public, and hardly anyone from
North Campus eats there anyway because it's
so faraway,” he said
Lunch in the faculty center will be served
cafeteria-style and catered from Snelling Hall
The price hasn't been determined, although it
will be comparable to the price at Snelling caf
eteria, he said.
"The price will not be much higher than
Snelling’s, if it is even higher," Garst said
University President Charles Knapp ap
proved the idea last December, but Insisted on
the "Interim" label
University president's spokesman Steve
Frankel said plans for a permanent center
haven't been discussed yet
“There are really no detailed plans at this
point. We need to determine whether there's
enough need or interest to justify the funds for
a permanent center," he said.
Garst said estimates for the current center
run in the tens of thousands However, exact
figures aren't available
Big freshman
class expected
Could spell
parking and
class trouble
Surfs up! Well, sort of
By Kevan Ward
Hrd and Black MaH Writer
Hey, like, surfs up dudes, and
you can forget a road-trip to the
beach. The beach is, like, coming to
you.
Today at 2 pm., Legion Field's
gonna be the locale of and provide
the scenery for what event sponsors
hope will be a totally rad beach
party.
Fran Upton, a senior marketing
major and Brumby Hall resident as
sistant, originated the idea for the
party.
Upton said Tuesday WAGQ-FM
disc jockey Dan Murray will play
music for the the party, which lasts
from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Volleyball nets, a sunbathing area
and free soft drinks will be pro
vided, she said.
At 4pm Weaver D's will cater a
150-person dinner, and the food will
be free as long as it lasts, Upton
said.
Fried chicken, buttered potatoes,
green beans, dinner rolls and iced
tea will be on the menu, she said
No admission will be charged to
attend the party, Upton said.
Residence Hall Association mem
bers David Good, a freshman busi
ness major, and Josh Wiesner. a
freshman history major, contacted
sponsors to donate prizes for the
event.
Good said people attending the
party can sign up for a chance at
several prizes, and winners will be
drawn randomly.
Dinners, free bowling and a T-
shirt were donated by Guthries, The
Grill, Honny B’s, Brunswick Beech-
wood Bowl and The Flamingo
Room, he said.
Upton said the party, sponsored
mainly by the RHA, will cost about
$1,300. Residence halls, including
Brumby and Russell Halls, also do
nated money
The party is open to anyone, not
just residence hall dwellers, she
said
"We just mainly want to get as
many people down there as we can
to listen to music, lay out and have
fun,” Upton said
One of the reasons for the party is
to allow students to benefit from
Housing money alloted for them,
she said.
‘‘People don’t realize how much
money can go unspent in Housing
for students," Upton said.
The inspiration for the event
came fall quarter when Upton no
ticed other schools have campus
wide beach parties, she said.
Today’s party lasts from 2 p.m. toti p.m.
The University doesn't have any
thing that big, Upton said
The RHA approved the party
during winter quarter and it ‘ really
wasn’t that hard to get going," she
said.
Upton said she originally had
hoped to make the party more rea
listic by having sand installed for
the partying pleasure of prospective
beach bums
However, University officials
wouldn't allow it, because all the
sand couldn't be removed af
terward, she said.
Upton also had hoped to have a
"slip and slide, a flat, plastic wa-
terslide, but University Housing
wouldn't allow it because of the lia
bility. she said.
Sponsors hope about 400 people
will attend the party, Upton said.
"I knew it wouldn’t be huge the
first year, but I'm hoping next year
someone will take it upon them
selves to do it again and make it an
annual thing, " she said.
Scott Farrell, a senior marketing
major and Russell RA. who helped
organize the event, encouraged stu
dents to attend
"The main thing is for people to
just come out and have a good
time," he said. “We re spending
other people's money."
University’s identity plan begins with stationary
By Nancy Garrott
Hrd mid Black Srntoi Hr|wfiri
The University is about to get a
standard look for all publications
and stationery as a part of an insti
tutional identity program spear
headed by Nik Edes. vice president
for Development and University Re
lations.
"It is a fact that there are a lot of
stationery and publications put out
by different people in the Univer
sity. but there is no single uniform
look," Edes said ‘‘We are trying to
come up with a symbol that ev
eryone will recognize and clearly
identify with the University of
Georgia
Officials are looking for a stan
dard symbol, typeface and paper
tor all departments The decisions
will be published in a book of stan
dards for use when departments
begin replenishing their stationery
and publishing new information,
Edes said.
Among the 13 different schools
and colleges on campus, there is no
uniform logo, paper or typeface that
is used in publications, he said
"We want something that when a
reporter, corporation or alumnus of
the University receives something
from any department, he will auto
matically know that it is from the
University," Edes said
Possible ideas include the Univer
sity seal and a choice of different
versions of the Arch, but no decision
will be made until all possibilities
have been considered by a com
mittee of 16 University employees
appointed by University President
Charles Knapp
Steve Frankel. University presi
dent's spokesman, said Knapp will
send a letter to prospective com
mittee members explaining the pro
ject.
“The committee should be an
nounced within the next week." he
said.
Edes said an outside consulting
firm has been chosen to help the
committee with the graphics.
“We have chosen a firm that has
worked with other universities in
similar efforts, but it will be up to
the committee as to whether they
even use outside consultants," he
said
Edes said he wouldn’t name the
firm or speculate on any costs be
cause, "I don’t have a contract with
them yet.
Common sense and employers, not
laws, govern bar bouncer behavior
"The firm will only be helping
with the graphics, they are not
going to help evaluate what we want
or what makes sense for what we
want," Edes said. "They were the
most sensible firm because they will
do what we want for the lowest pos
sible price."
The Bulldog isn’t being consid
ered for the new standard logo be
cause it is the emblem of the
Unversity 's athletic teams
In a press conference Wednesday
morning. Knapp said, "Generally
speaking, the Arch is a symbol of
academic pride and the Bulldog of
the athletic pride of the Univer
sity."
Edes said. "The Bulldog is and al
ways will be a very important
symbol of the athletic part of the
University We are trying to develop
a symbol to identify the academic
part."

The University is predicting a re
cord-breaking freshman class — 4.-
000 students — and as a result, may
face problems handling the influx of
the new students, officials said
Wednesday
In a press conference Wednesday
morning, University President
Charles Knapp said 2,400 applica
tions remain to be processed Al
though the University moved the
cut-off date for regular applications
up to March 15 from the beginning
of the school year, applications al
ready have increased by 21 percent
compared to last year
However, Knapp said. “It's a
good problem to have."
Knapp said he decided to process
the remaining applications by the
same standards of earlier applica
tions, a decison that disappointed
the chair of the University Council’s
Admissions Committee
John Dagley. associate education
professor, said the committee had
recommended processing the re
maining applications using higher
admission standards of 1,100 Schol
astic Aptitude Test score and a 2 5
predicted freshman grade point av
erage.
"We re disappointed the adminis
tration chose to handle it this way."
he said.
With the higher standards, the
committee predicted the incoming
class size would be reduced to about
3.400 students, a significant de
crease from last fall's record class
of 3,661 students, he said
But Knapp said fairness and
maintaining equity for the appli
cants were more important than the
problem of handling another large
freshman class.
“I’m uncomfortable treating an
application differently solely be
cause of the order it happened to be
in," he said
A majority of the cabinet and
Deans’ Council also agreed with his
decision, he said
Though a larger freshman class
would result in difficult strains to
the University’s faculty and phys
ical capabilities, Knapp said. "I
think we can handle it.”
The extra money provided by stu
dent fees could be used to hire more
instructors and increase sections,
he said.
Knapp said he expects the prob
lems to be ‘‘minimal’’ but has
charged Allan Barber, vice presi
dent for Business and Finance.
Louise McBee, acting vice president
for Academic Affairs and Dwight
Douglas, vice president for Student
Affairs, to develop a plan to handle
any problems
A possible increase in housing
need may have to be absorbed by
off-campus housing, he said
Regarding the parking space di
lemma. Knapp said. ‘‘We might
look at opening other lots "
Barber. Douglas and McBee
couldn t be reached for comment
Wednesday
Knapp said the University began
noticing the large number of
freshman applicants at the begin
ning of this month and decided to
establish a cut-off date of March 15.
except for scholarship, honors and
minority student applications
Last year, the University ac
cepted applications until school
began This year, it already has re
ceived 11,100 freshman applications
and expects a total of 12,000
Knapp credited the increase
mainly to the University’s growing
popularity, although he speculated
that high school seniors are ap
plying to more institutions. The
stock market crash may have re
sulted in financial reasons for
choosing the University, he said.
In the wake of the current
problem, Knapp said he will take
steps to reduce the size of the fall
1989 freshman class, possibly by
changing its admissions process.
The University presently operates
on a rolling admissions process that
makes decisions as soon as applica
tions are received and evaluated
Knapp said alternatives include
waiting until a specific date for the
reception of applications and
making a decision with a set
number of acceptances in mind, or
having a rolling admissions process
for highly qualified students and
waiting on regular students.
Dagley said. "There’s absolutely
no doubt we re going to have a
much deeper look" into alterna
tives. "We ve got to do it differ
ently.”
However. Dagley said he was im
pressed with the administration's
involvement with the admissions
committee and was encouraged
about future cooperation with the
administration in solving the admis
sions problem
The admissions committ 1 orig
inal target size for the i. i 989
freshman class was 3,150, but
Knapp said the size couldn't be de
termined until a later date
A decreased 1989 freshman class
wouldn’t show a decrease in mi
nority students, he said
Regarding the SAT score gap be
tween white and black students.
Knapp said, “The pool of black ap
plicants will move up with the pool
of white applicants "
The University is dedicated "to
increase the percentage and abso
lute numbers of minority students,
he said
Black students now make up 5 6
percent of the University, he said.
But as to the University’s present
problem of preparing for a possible
freshman class of 4,000 students
within five and a half months,
Knapp said. “We’ll be ready to go
with quality education "

enforcement and legal officials said
Wednesday
Athens Police Sgt Joe Walter said
he "is not aware of any statutes or
laws relating specifically to
bouncers.
•Bouncers are expected to behave
like anyone else and not step out of
line, "hesaid
Several altercations between
bouncers and patrons have received
attention recently, including one at
O'Malley's Tavern on Feb 5 and
one at Stonewall s on March 5,
Walter said that as far as he
knows, the behavior of bouncers is
the responsibility of the particular
establishment where they are em
ployed.
Athens attorney Jack Rounds said
bouncers are governed by "common
sense "
"They can't use force beyond
what is necessary to protect prop
erty, patrons and themselves," he
said
Bouncers aren't allowed to punish
unruly patrons, Rounds said
"They can't take someone outside
and beat the hell out of them," he
said
Tim Brown, T.K Harty's Saloon
manager, said his bouncers "try to
be real polite” when dealing with
unruly customers
Brown said he tells his bouncers
"never to hit anybody. If they hit
anybody,they're gone "
Stonewall s owner Carmine Cos
tello said the three rules his
bouncers follow are "protect the
customer, protect the property and
protect yourself'
Costello said his bouncers aren't
allowed to hit customers either, but
they have the right to restrain them

force beyond what is
necessary to protect

and themselves. ’

"You have to handle each partic

said "If a customer is causing
trouble outside, then our bouncers
can't go outside. We have to call the
police. We lose our legal rights if we
step out because Ihe street is owned
by the city "
O'Malley's owner Ken Fulghum
said he hires "large people so that
sixe is usually enough to diffuse any
situation
“When they see Ihe slie of Ihe
bouncers most patrons won t resort
to violence because they see it is an
avenue that won't be productive,"
Fulghum said
Fulghum said his bouncers "do
not hit anyone — they subdue and
remove them We only use enough
force to deter further action on the
customer's part "
"Bouncers take Immense
amounts of abuse," Fulghum said.
"But il someone curses you or even
lays his hands on you. it's not
enough provocation to pound him "
