ATLANTA (AP): Harris signs $7.5 billion budget bill.
Gov. Joe Frank Harris on Tuesday approved a $7.5 billion budget for

salaries and provides new money for various programs. The spending
plan represents an increase of about $1.1 billion over the current,
amended budget. New spending in the measure is financed in part by

April 1 and is expected to produce an additional $687 million
annually in new revenue.

WASHINGTON (AP): House approves base closings.
The House voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to back a plan to close 86
military bases and scale back five more despite complaints that the
move will not save as much as advocates had promised. By a vote of
381-43, the House rejected a resolution to disapprove the
recommendations of the Commission on Base Realignment and
Closure, giving Defense Secretary Dick Cheney authority to follow
through on the panel’s proposals beginning in January. The
commission’s recommendations affect a total of 145 domestic military
installations by closing some, reducing the operations of others and
changing the missions of additional bases.

WARSAW, Poland (AP): Walesa, Jaruzelski reconcile.
Lech Walesa shook hands Tuesday with Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski,
the man who ordered the Solidarity founder arrested in 1981, and the
Polish leader said later he was satisified by the symbolic
reconciliation. “A mountain with a mountain ...” said Jaruzelski as
he greeted Walesa. “I hope we will never part again,” replied Walesa.
Jaruzelski’s greeting was the beginning of a saying in Polish that in
full goes: "A mountain with a mountain cannot meet, but a man can
meet a man.” The face-to-face meeting between the man who once
sought to crush Solidarity and the one who vowed to revive it lasted
for about one hour. It occurred one dny after Solidarity was declared
legal again.

Staff Writer
Thursday is Earth Day-a day to celebrate
the beauty of the earth and a day to get edu
cated about the destruction man is doing to the
environment and what can be done to prevent
it
Advisor Mark Williams said Students for En
vironmental Awareness are sponsoring Earth
Day, Thursday at the Tate Center Plaza from 9
a m. to 5 p.m., in hopes of getting more people
involved in protecting the natural environ
ment.
About 20 environmentally-concerned organi
zations will be represented at the event, he
said, including the Sierra Club and Green
peace. Each group will have a table set up and
information will be available on various envi
ronmental problems.
Williams said he hopes the event will en
courage to get people involved in protecting the
environment.
“We hope to increase awareness of environ
mental problems to move people not to just be
concerned, but to do something about it," he
said.
Earth Day Coordinator Anna Bass said
S.E.A. invited over 100 organizations to partici
pate in Earth Day. She said the ones who
couldn’t come are sending information to be dis
tributed.
Other activities that will accompany the
booths in the plaza include speakers und live
music, she said.
Williams said the bands LnBrea Stampers,
White Buffalo, Ruby Red and Leon Fredfish
will play throughout the day. Acoustic artists
will also perform at various times.
Starting at noon, S.E.A. will present
speakers to talk on a number of subjects, he
said. Tim Johnson, from Campaign for a Pros
perous Georgia, will speak on the battle be
tween CPG and Plant Vogtle. Also giving
presentations will be Institute of Ecology Di
rector Eugene Odum, Carl Jordan, nlso of the
Williams saia a.u.n. wan present about
seven awards to individual Athens businesses
for practicing environmental protection in the
work place.
SEA member Rob Refo said for the past
year, S E A. has been trying to make the Uni-
versity a more environmentally sound campus.
They are responsible for the large boxes around
campus designated for recycleable cans. Unfor.
tuneotely, the University allows S.E.A. to put
these boxes only by drink machines which, he
said, is not the most advantageous spot.
He said S E A. also has tried persistently to
get the Bulldog Room to stop using Styrofoam
products. Currently they have a petition
against the Bulldog Room.
S E A. member Katy Reich said this petition
will be available at the event.
Reich said the main purpose of Earth Day ig
"to let people know thnt Mother Earth is re-
sponsible for all of our resources and we have to
take care of what we have.”

From page 1
the Business Administration Pro
fessional Staff, a support group
made up of non-academic em
ployees.
BAPS Chair Rebecca Brooks, a
senior secretary, said she asked
University police to attend the
most recent meeting of the group.
‘The officer explained a neigh
borhood-watch style program com
plete with signs designed to warn
would-be thieves that we know
they are there,” Brooks said. The
program, called Operation PAW
(People are Watching), involves
employees watching out for each
other by asking any suspicious-
looking people questions about
their business in the building. If an
employee is unsatisfied with their
intentions they should call the po
lice."
University police Lt. Lisa Boone
said the program can be presented
in residence halls or academic
buildings. Cpl. Patty Williams
coordinates Operation PAW.
Corina said her office has been
alerted to a “band of juveniles” pre
ying on North Campus academic
buildings.
She said she suspects these
youths are involved in a g<x>d deal
of the thefl. Corina’s purse was
later discovered in an alley near
the Classic Triple Theatre, and the
manager told Corina a group of ju
veniles oflen loiter in the alley.
University Police Chief Chuck
Horton said there has always been
a problem with outsiders coming
onto campus for the “sole purpose
of victimizing the University," but
all the thefl isn’t done by these out
siders.
The vast majority of the auto
entry thefl is done by outsiders,”
Horton said. “But it’s hard to tell
on the other stuff.
“We try to keep people with no
business on campus out of here,”
Horton said. “If we see a group of
kids we generally stop them to find
out what they are doing. But many
young people use facilities on
campus, and they have a legiti
mate right to be here."
Corina said the police made her
feel guilty when she reported her
theft She said she was told to
leave her credit cards at home
“I feel at risk. These theives are
having a heyday with no repercus
sions," Corina said. "I do my job for
ten shekels a day, and they make
ten times what I do."
Horton said many thefls are a
result of carelessness.
“I’m sorry that people have to
lock their things up, but even
churches are locking their doors
these days,” he said.
