ATLANTA (AP): Collision course set for protests, white
supremacist Richard Barrett and civil nghu activist Hosea Williams
are on a collision course for their planned protista this Saturday, with
gatherings at Martin Luther King Jr.’s grave and marches in Forsyth
County. Barrett, the Mississippi-based leader of the Nationalist
Movement, announced last month his plans for a 9 to 11 a m. protest
opposite King’s grave this Saturday, followed by an afternoon march
and rally in the Forsyth County town of Cumming. Williams, a former
King aide and Atlanta city councilman, said Tuesday hell be at King’s
grave at 9 a m. Saturday before heading for Forsyth County and a
march through the county, outside Cumming.
SAVANNAH. Ga. (AP): New system implemented. New
security was in place at the Chatham County Courthouse on Tuesday
after the county commission authorized it in the wake of the mail
bomb killing of a Savannah attorney. Visitors to the courthouse were
oemg greeted by uniformed security guards who used a
magnetometer to check for weapons. A temporary security program
was implemented shortly after the Dec. 18 death of attorney Robert
Robinson, but lasted only a few days. The new security also is
temporarv and will be re-evaluated after six months, county offtcals
sa.d, adding that such a program had beer, considered even before
Robinson's death. Robinson, a Savannah alderman who had
represented the local NAACP, was killed by a bomb mailed to his law
office. H:s death came two days after U S Circuit Judge Robert Vance
was killed by a similar device at his home near Birmingham, Ala.
WASHINGTON (AP): 55 factories released chemicals.
Nearly 2.4 million pounds of three widely used ozone-destroying
chemicals were released into the atmosphere by 55 Georgia plants
during 1987. an environmental group said Tuesday. The Natural
Resources Defense Council, in a study criticizing industry for its
continued reliance on ozone-destroying chemicals, said Georgia
plants released 1.9 million pounds of methyl chloroform, 468,247
pounds of CFC113 and 11,500 pounds of carbon tetrachloride in 1987,
the last year for which complete figures were available. Georgia
ranked 16th among the states in total emissions of carbon
tetrachloride in 1987, 24th in methyl chloroform emissions and 33rd
in CFC113 emissions, the study said.
WASHINGTON (AP): Abused could face attackers. The
Supreme Court said Tuesday it will decide by July whether people
charged with child abuse have the right to at least one face-to-face
meeting with their young accusers. The justices set the stage for
decisions of enormous importance to child-abuse prosecutions
nationwide, agreeing to review cases from Maryland and Idaho. Many
states in recent years have taken steps to protect young crime
victims, such as allowing a child to testify by closed-circuit television
rather than in the presence of the defendant. The court’s decision
could spell out what steps are necessary to meet the constitutional
requirement that “in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall
enjoy the right ... to be confronted with the witnesses against him.”
MOSCOW (AP): Reinforcements sent to halt civil war.
The Kremlin sent more than 11,000 reinforcements, including Red
Army units, to the Caucasus on Tuesday to halt a civil war between
Armenians and Azerbaijanis that has killed 56 people. New clashes
were reported, and Tass reported 2,000 people armed with anti
aircraft guns and other artillery were massing on hills around
Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed district that has become a flashpoint
for the neighboring groups’ ethnic hatreds. Combatants in the region
1,250 miles southeast of Moscow had seized stores of hand grenades,
the Interior Ministry said. The government newspaper Izvestia
reported 16 attacks on weapons depots in 24 hours by Armenians
hunting for guns. Gorbachev and the Soviet Presidium declared a
state of emergency in the strife-tom mountain area Monday night,
empowering the government to deploy units of the Soviet army, navy
ana KGB to protect lives and guard vital installations such as
railroads.
SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP): Opposition gets newspaper. The
ruling Communist party, in a concession to the country’s fledgling
opposition, agreed Tuesday to allow democratic groups to publish
their own newspaper and said they would be granted offices in Sofia.
But it rejected a demand for opposition access to radio and television,
which would take democratic ideas across this largely rural nation.
The compromise was fashioned after the opposition threatened to
withdraw from talks with the Communists that many hope will
hasten Bulgaria’s faltering transition to democracy. More than
50,000 people attended one of the biggest anti-Communist
demonstrations in Bulgarian history on Sunday to back the
opposition’s demands for more democracy.

Archaeology sciences center offers University
students a one-of-a-kind degree opportunity
By SHANNON SAVAGE
Contributing Writer
The University Archaeology Sciences Center
has the only degree program of its kind in the
Southeast and is one of 20 such programs
existing in the United States.
The Center, founded in May 1984, sponsors
interdisciplinary archaeological sciences un
dergraduate and graduate programs.
Norman Herz, center director, said students
in the the College of Arts and Sciences interdis
ciplinary studies program who want to concen
trate in archaeological sciences can receive
curriculum counseling at the center.
“People from the geography, geology, arts
and sciences, environmental design, art history
and anthropology departments are involved,”
he said.
David Hally, associate professor of anthro
pology, said students who graduate from this
program with a broad understanding of the sci
ences will be much more attractive to graduate
programs.
Hally stresses the importance of the Center’s
program to students wanting to study archaeo
logical sciences, he said.
“Before this program was started, the ar
chaeology students were really getting slighted
in the coverage of chemistry and the other
physical sciences," Hally said.
The center also contracts with world-leading
museums such as the Louvre in Paris and the
British Museum in London, to research and
analyze ancient artifacts for their authenticity.
Herz developed a database of Greek and
Roman marble quarries that is used by several
countries including Greece, Israel and Britain.
“We help people all over the world establish
the origin of marble,” Herz said. ‘This allows
them to pinpoint the approximate date of ex
traction, thus allowing them to tell if the work
is a fake."
The center staff is a combination of people
with backgrounds in many different areas of
academia.
The team includes 28 associates from the
University and 10 associates from schools such
as Tulane, Johns Hopkins universities as well
as the University of Minnesota.
Foundations like the National Endowment
for the Humanities, the National Geographic
Society and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation
provide the monetary support necessary to
keep the center open.
Herz said that although the University
doesn’t give the center any money, the grants
and consulting work bring in enough funds to
keep the lab in operation and to pay the student
workers.
‘To get money from the University you have
to do some serious politicking, and I don’t have
much experience with this, so, I really haven’t
gotten involved in this sort of thing,” he said.
“We don’t have enough money to support a
lecture series on our own so we go in with the
art, classics and geology departments to bring
in speakers," he said.
The first lecture in the series, "Archaeolog
ical Salvage in Eastern Africa” will be held
Thursday at 12:10 p.m. in Room 145 of the Tate
Student Center.
Thomas Gresham, vice president of the
Southeastern Archaeological Services, will dis
cuss an archaeological project he has been
working on in Somalia.
Part of Gresham’s study includes examining
the archaeological sites located in a valley
where a U.S. government and World Bank res
ervoir will be located. The study will determine
which sites are important and need to be sal
vaged before flooding the region.
