Glamour Girl contest accepting applications.
Applications are being accepted for the 1990 Glamour Girl of the
South Contest which features single women from the 10 universities
of the SEC The winner will receive a $100 cash prize from
TeleScripps Cable Company and be featured in several publications,
including a national college football magazine. "The contest is rather
unique and it does not require personal interviews by the judges and
talent shows,” said contest co-director Stephanie Strohmier. She said
the contest isn't a beauty pageant even though it may sound like one.
Winning the contest will give the young woman some regional or
national exposure. Entry deadline is Dec. 31. For an application, send
a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Glamour Girl of the South
Contest, 136 Woodland Drive, Somerset, Ky 42501.
Women's magazine to feature student award, in View,
Whittle Communications’ publication for college women, is
sponsoring a contest that will award $2,500 to each of 10 college
women for outstanding accomplishments beyond the classroom. “We
are reaching beyond the scope of traditional awards for academic
excellence to reward initiative, integrity and the desire to enrich the
lives of others,” said Mara Covell, In View’s editor. The awards will be
given in five categories: outstanding contribution to community
service, triumph over personal adversity, outstanding contribution to
the preservation of the environment, outstanding achievement
related to academic interest and outstanding contribution to
interracial harmony and understanding. Contest entry forms and
rules are available in In View’s September/October issue, which will
be available on campus.
STATE
ATLANTA (AP): Jackson awaits victory. Maynard Jackson
is poised for a “huge victory* Tuesday in his bid to return as mayor of
Atlanta. Jackson, the city’s first black mayor when he served two
terms from 1974-82, is expected to easily win a return to city hall in
Atlanta’s election, despite a challenge from civil rights veteran and
former City Councilman Hosea Williams. Four longshots round out
the ballot in the non-partisan election: nightclub comedian Jerry
Farber, bus driver and anti-abortion activist Mitchell Williams,
Georgia Tech student Mark Teal, and Lafayette Perry, who is retired.
VALDOSTA (AP): VSC given $1.2 million . A Valdosta State
College professor, noted for ner frugal lifestyle and concern for
students, has left the school $1.2 million for academic scholarships.
VSC President Hugh Bailey said the school received the money
recently from the estate of Gertrude Odum, who died on Feb. 26,
1988, at the age of 89. Her husband, Valdosta attorney John Odum,
had died several years earlier. A native of Shenandoah, Iowa, Mrs.
Odum joined the faculty in 1921. During her 44 years at the college,
she was named head of the English Department and became a
professor emeritus when she retired in 1965.

PULASKI, Tenn. (AP): Klan unwelcome in home town.
Strip away the orange ribbons, and Pulaski’s courthouse square could
be a movie set for an archetypal Southern town, where a Confederate
hero stands on a pedestal and pick-up trucks sport Dixie flags. But
the orange “brotherhood color” affixed to storefronts, lampposts, car
antennas and coat lapels is meant to make sure no one confuses
Pulaski residents with the white supremacists who plan to march
through town Saturday. Restaurants, stores and markets have
agreed to close for the day throughout the town of about 8,000 people
90 miles south of Nashville. Residents have been asked to stay off the
streets, and churches have planned activities to keep children and
teen-agers away from downtown. The racists are attracted to Pulaski
by the town’s role in the history of the Ku Klux Klan. The group was
founded in Pulaski in 1865 as a reaction to what community leaders
saw as a threat by carpetbaggers and former slaves after the Civil
War. It was disbanded four years later after the Legislature passed
an anti-Klan law. The modern Klan was formed outside Atlanta in
1915 by a former minister who added Jews and Catholics to the
group’s list of enemies. The Klan began marching in Pulaski annually
in 1986 to protest the Martin Luther King national holiday.
WORLD
MOSCOW (AP): Psychic run over trying to stop train.
E. Frenkel, one of the Soviet Union’s growing number of psychic
healers and mentalists, claimed he used his powers to stop bicycles,
automobiles and streetcars. He thought he was ready for something
bigger, so he stepped in front of a freight train. It didn’t work. The
engineer of the train that killed Frenkel said the psychic stepped onto
the tracks with his arms raised, his head lowered and his body
tensed. The daily Sovietskaya Rossiya on Sunday said investigators
looking into Frenkel’s decision to jump in front of a train near the
southern city of Astrakhan found the answer in the briefcase he left
by the side of the track. “First I stopped a bicycle, cars, and a
streetcar,” Frenkel wrote in notes that the investigators found. “Now
I’m going to stop a train.” The engineer of the train saw Frenkel,
dressed in a white shirt, walking along the railroad from a long
distance. But only at the last minute did the mentalist drop his brief
case and step onto the tracks. The newspaper did not say what day
Frenkel was killed, or provide other details.

Disabled may ticket
The Athens City Council will
vote Tuesday on an ordinance
which would allow a patrol of
handicapped people to issue tickets
to people wno park illegally in
handicapped parking places.
The proposed Handicap Parking
Enforcement Ordinance would in
clude areas within the city limits.
Council Member Mac Coile is
working to include Clarke County
in the ordinance so area shopping
centers would be covered.
If approved, the ordinance would
go into effect Jan. 1, 1990.
Coile said the council hadn’t
gone far enough in its discussions
and planning to know if the ordi
nance would work county-wide.
Council Member Kathy Hoard
said she didn't know if the ordi
nance would include the Univer
sity campus, but she’s going to
raise that question at the council
meeting at 7:30 p.m Tuesday.
The handicap patrol would con
sist of handicapped people, Hoard
said. These monitors would be
working through the Athens police
and would have no other authority
than to issue citations to cars
parked in handicapped parking
places without a permit, she said.
The Alps Road shopping center,
where drivers repeatedly disregard
handicapped parking places, would
be one parking lot targeted by the
handicap patrol, Hoard said.
Hoard said she will aUo ask the
council to review a recommenda
tion to increase the fine for parking
illegally in a handicapped parking
place and to increase the fine for
habitual violators. The current fine
is $50.

You can fight city hall
If you don't like what’s going
on at city hall, tell Dean Rob
inson.
As the new Student Associa
tion liaison to the Athens City
Council, it is Robinson s job to
go before the council and stand
up for students’ rights.
Tonight, he will get a chance
to do just that at his first city
council meeting, held at 7:30
p.m. in the city hall.
Robinson, a senior psychology
mqjor, said he plans to bring up
several things at the meeting in
cluding selective enforcement of
the open container ordinance,
which prohibits open containers
of alcoholic beverages on Athens
streets.
SA Sen. Molly Mednikow said
the SA's Student Rights Com
mittee chose Robinson, who
isn’t an SA senator, for the posi-
tion this spring. He showed an
unusual amount of sincerity,
she said.
T just decided it was time for
me to get involved,” he said. “I
wanted to make a difference ”
If students want something
brought up before the city, Rob
inson said they can reach him
through the SA office at 542-
8485.
“I want people to call me up
and let me know what’s both
ering them,” Robinson said.
‘Hey, you can fight city hall.”
