Desk Supervisor Patty Paige said.
Cash and jewelry, however,
don’t often turn up at the Tate Stu
dent Center’s Lost and Found
I have a feeling, if people find
things that are really valuable,
they keep them," she said.
"We get a
tually," she said.
Not even a dishonest person
would want to keep a checkbook,
she said.
“It would be really hard to use a
checkbook (that belonged to
someone else) around here because
of all the identification require
ments," she said.
"About half of it geta claimed,”
Paige said.
After 30 days, the rest is donated
to Goodwill, the Potter’s House or
some other service organization,
she said.
Junkman moving junk
By ELIZABETH GRADDY
Staff Writer
Come October 1, the Ju’ikman’s
Daughter’s Brother will be picking
up all his stufT and moving to 164
h Clayton St., Mark Gavron, the
junkman’s daughter’s brother,
said.
The present location, 265 W
Broad St., is just too small for Gav-
ron’s growing business.
"We’ve been doing great,”
Gavron said “We’ve kind of filled
this spot up. And we really can’t
grow anymore in this space."
The new location, two doors
down from The Downstairs, has 3,-
500 square feet of retail space, said
Gavron. That’s 75 percent more
space than the present location’s
2,000 square feet.
Because of the large increase in
space the move is economical, even
though the rent will more than
double, Gavron said.
Gavron and his employees plan
to do all the moving on one day, a
Sunday, so he won’t have to close
up shop at all.
“I keep telling my employees
that," he said. ‘They don’t believe
me."
The Junkman’s Daughter’s
Brother sells mostly clothing,
Gavron said. But he has a wide va
riety of just about everything else.
“We’ve got lots of jewelry, lots of
accessories, by far the biggest
poster selection in town,” he said.
“We’ve got a little of everything.”
Gavron’s sister, Pam Majors,
owns the Junkman’s Daughter at
Little Five Points in Atlanta.
Majors said their grandfathers
and their father really were
junkmen.
“He was in the surplus busi
ness,” Majors said. “When Dad re
tired, we found some really neat
stuff in storage."
The really neat stufT — including
Mickey Mouse memorabilia and
cases of stockings left over from
World War II — inspired her to
enter the retail business with her
Junkman’s Daughter. She has
since expanded.
Later her brother opened the
Junkman’s Daughter’s Brother.
The checkbook full of condoms is
still in Lost and Found in case
someone wants to claim it, she
said.
The Tate Student Center’s Lost
and Found handles only items
found in the area around the
center, including Stegeman Hall
and the University Bookstore
However, Lt. Donald Cowart
said University Police cover the
whole campus with tHfeir Lost and
Found.
As the University Police Depart
ment’s evidence officer, Cowart
oversees the flow of items through
the University Police Department’s
Lost and Found.
Valuable items like cash and
jewelry do turn up at the Univer
sity Police Department, he said.
People also turn in expensive
tennis and racquetball rackets
But he also gets the unusual
“A couple of weeks ago a guy
brought a bag of dope down here,”
Cowart said
Sometimes, while searching
found purses for identification, the
police find drugs, he said In those
cases, they try to prosecute
‘The ones I’ve seen, we’ve
charged them,” Cowart said “I
guess the lesson is not to carry
dope around in your purse."
Most unclaimed items are given
to the Potter’s House, he said But
not drugs
Trash like dope is incinerated
at the Vet School," he said
If a person loses something in a
building, he should first go to the
secretaries’ offices in that building,
Cowart said That’s where most
people usually turn items in.
People who find thingB and don’t
turn tnem in can be charged with
thefl by retaining if they are
caught, he said For items worth
more than $500, theft by retaining
is a felony. Otherwise, it’s a misde
meanor.
George Young, head of Vehicle
Transit and Maintenance, admin
isters a Ixjet and Found covering
items left on the buses
Once, a bus dnver found $500 or
$600 in cash, Young said
Anything found on the buses can
be claimed at the Automotive
Center on Riverbend Road, Young
said

Teachers take advantage of seminar
By NEAL CALLAHAN
Staff Writer
While their students are enjoying summer
break, 30 state middle and high school tea
chers are studying American political proc
esses at the University as part of thfl
Seminar for Teachers.
The seminar, which started July 9 and
lasts until Friday, is being held at the
Georgia Center for Continuing Education
and is sponsored by the Carl Vinson Insti
tute of Government. The seminar is part of a
national program sponsored by the Robert
A. Tafl Institute of Government.
Mary Hepburn, seminar director and
head of the Governmental Education divi
sion of the Vinson Institute, said the Univer
sity competes on a national level for the Taft
seminnr funding. "One year I was told that
100 proposals were submitted and we were
one of the 30 schools choosen."
Hepburn said this is the 14th year the
Vinson Institute has sponsored the seminar,
which is geared to educate state teachers in
American political science at a national,
state and local level for use in their class
rooms.
The seminar is designed to offer a balance
of views and ideas in politics, he said. Guest
instructors represent national parties and
‘The seminar is something
that I would and will
recommend to the teachers
at my school.’
Mary Kurtz,
Hillsman Middle School
teacher
government officials from a variety of
elected and appointed positions, along with
University instructors.
Instructors included Senator Sam Nunn
who talked, in a video conference, about a
bill that he sponsored aimed at creating a
citizen corp of high school graduates who
would work to help fight social problems
such as drug abuse and illiteracy in return
for federal aid for a college education.
Dean Rusk, former secretary of state
under three presidents and founder of the
University’s Rusk Center for International
and Comparative Law, said he is optimistic
at the changes brought on by Soviet Presi
dent Mikhail Gorbachev in his recent Peres
troika (economic reform) plan.
A panel of three state political reporters
told the seminar that while the media has an
effect on the outcome of elections, the role of
the political campaign manager and his in
fluence on the media is an even bigger threat
to the electoral process
University faculty members that made
presentations included Loch Johnson,
Charles Bullock, and Laverne Williamson,
professors of political science; Brad Lock
erbie, assistant professor of political science.
Robert Durante, associate professor of polit
ical science, and Edwin Jackson, senior
public service associate of the Vinson Insti
tute.
Today’s presentations include a speech by
State Attorney General Michael Bowers on
ethics in government. On Friday, Sen
Wyche Fowler will be in a teleconference on
the future of the agricultural policy in
America. Paul Coverdell, the newly-ap
pointed director of the Peace Corps, will also
speak
Mary Kurtz, a teacher at Hillsman Middle
School in Athens, said the seminar was fas
cinating and that it will be a big help in her
classroom.
“How many people get to ask Dean Rusk a
question, and Sam Nunn two questions 0 The
seminar is something that I would and will
recommend to the teachers at my school,”
she said
