A long history of activism
Crowe first got involved in the
civil rights movement in the
summer of 1957 when officials in
Norfolk, Va., closed their school
system for nine months to avoid
admitting a small number of black
children in their schools.
While Crowe was a graduate
student at Brown University, he
was angered by Southern states
which disregarded the Brown vs.
Board of Education decision of
1955.
The Supreme Court declared
separate educational facilities un
equal and unconstitutional, but
Virginia and other Southern states
still found ways around desegre
gating their schools. Crowe was
outraged by bigoted state poli-
titians such as George Wallace of
Alabama, who was famous for
snying, “We’re not going to admit
one negro child.”
After earning a master’s and
doctorate in American Studies at
Brown University in Providence,
R.I., Crowe got a Fulbright Schol
arship to Germany.
When he returned from Ger
many, he worked at the University
of Cleveland in Ohio and was a
member of the Congress of Racial
Equality. He said the congress was
involved in getting bank loans and
jobs for blacks during times when
the government was the “bulwark
of inequality.”
Crowe teaches at the University,
but is on leave this quarter for
medical reasons.
‘The old, blatant racism of the
past is dead,” Crowe said, “but the
country os a whole hasn’t escaped
racism. The era of Reagan and
Bush wasn’t kind to the blacks.
“A great many of whites assume
there is no more racism or anymore
problems,” said Crowe. ‘That’s not
true.
“Reagan was a disaster — he
was the Ulysses S. Grant of our
days. He was not a bigot as the
1960s politicians, he just took their
money away.”
Reagan “whittled away” at Affir
mative Action funding, which
Crowe said was the key to change.
But Crowe said that black
youths today are guilty of not
pushing ns hard as their parents
did for change.
“When people make some gains,
they tend to want to hang on to
them,” he said.
History Professor F. N. Boney
has taught with Crowe at the Uni
versity since 1968.
“He (Crowe) was very active in a
time when it wasn’t fashionable to
be,” Boney said.
Crowe was especially influential
with his graduate students, Boney-
said. Some of Crowe’s former grad
uate students, such as Thomas
Dyer who is currently the associate
vice president for Services at the
University, wrote books stemming
directly from the dissertations they
wrote for Crowe, Boney said.
History Professor Joseph Ber-
rigan, who has been teaching at
the University since 1966, said
Crowe was determined and ded
icated in the civil rights movement.
“I don’t think anything would
stop him,” Berrigan said.
New drug ‘ice’ not a threat to Athens
By MICHAEL McLEOD
Staff Writer
Ice, a new designer drug, has re
ceived a cool reception in the
United States, Drug Enforcement
Agency official Travis Levesque
said.
Ice, which has yet to make an
impact in Athens, is based on the
chemical compound methampheta-
mine.
It is produced in Korea and
Taiwan and then distributed
through Hawaii into the United
States, said Levesque, who is chief
of intelligence at the Atlanta DEA
bureau. Traces of ice have been
found in Seattle, Wash., and San
Fransisco, Calif., but Levesque
said he doesn’t expect it to become
very popular.
“It is so dangerous, it may not,”
he said. “People who have used it
aren’t advocating its use.”
University police detective Pat
Stokes said he hasn’t seen much of
the drug on campus.
“We’re seeing a revival, a lot of
LSD, mushrooms, and ecstasy,” he
said. “Students tend to like psycho-
active drugs a lot more. We’ve had
no reports of crack on campus.”
But Stokes said he expects the
drug to become very popular in
other areas across the country,
next biggie,” he said.
Sgt. Charles Newson of the
Athens police department said he
hasn’t run across ice in Athens yet,
but expects to see it in the future.
“I more than expect to see it
soon,” he said. “We will handle it
just like any other drug."
Levesque compared the effects of
dy tc
but affecting the body for a longer
time He said the drug produces a
feeling of euphoria and tremen
dous energy which may be followed
by confusion and nausea. He added
that like crack, ice may induce
coma or cardiac arrest.
The high it produces lasts from
eight to 10 hours, compared to
crack’s 15 to 20 minute high. Sto-
kessaid the drug’s rock form melts
when smoked and then reforms, al
lowing it to be used from two to 15
times.
New program series will help students
improve their academic performance
By ERIK SCHMIDT
Contributing Writer
The Counseling and Testing Center is spon
soring the “Academic Success Series”
throughout the quarter to aid students and fac
ulty who want to enhance their classroom per
formance.
The series will feature seminars on stress
management, time management and choosing
a major.
The programs are designed “to acquaint stu
dents with better study skills,” said Ann
Schwartz, Outreach Services coordinator.
‘Tor some people, it’s just to brush up on
study skills,” she said.
For other students, the program can be a
source of guidance in instituting new and im
proved study techniques.
To aid faculty, Steve Brown, counseling
center director, said the seminars reveal “how
to teach and how to approach teaching.”
All the seminars will be held in Clark Howell
Hall. The programs are open to all students and
faculty who wish to attend. No advance regis
tration is necessary.
The opening seminar, entitled “Motivation
for Academic Success,” will be held at 5:30 p.m.
today.
Typical problems occur when a long term
goal, such as getting an ‘A’ in class, is not sup
ported by short term goals, she said.
Staff member Jan Smith will direct
“Choosing a Major” Feb. 1 from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
The workshop assists students in filling out in
terest inventory tests in order to realize career
goals.
The center began sponsoring similar pro
grams in 1979 when it began as a counseling
and psychology center.
At first, the center was more of a vocational
source, Brown said, but student demand for ca
reer counseling necessitated the change.
The “Academic Success Series” will run until
February 28.
Bill may require drug tests
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - A Senate bill
Setting federal drug-testing stan
dards for private companies would
provide consistency and eliminate
lawsuits, supporters including
former Surgeon General C. Everett
Koop said Tuesday, but critics con
tend it would erode workers’
rights.
The bill, sponsored by Sens.
Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and David
Boren, D-Okla., does not require
businesses to test employees but
gives them the clear right to do so
— a provision supporters said
would prevent unwarranted court
challenges to drug-testing policies.
Court challenges discourage
companies from implementing
drug-testing programs, which have
been shown to deter workers from
using alcohol and drugs on the job,
Koop and other supporters said at
a news conference.
“Courts all over the country are
saying, Tes, you can,’ and 'No, you
can’t,”* Koop said.
Hatch said the measure protects
the privacy rights by establishing
guidelines for circumstances under
which businesses can test their
workers.
But Rep. Don Edwards, D-Calif.,
chairman of the House Judiciary
subcommittee on civil and consti
tutional rights, called the measure
“a horrible invasion of Americans’
rights without probable cause.”
The bill might have support
when Congress returns next week,
Edwards said, “with the drug hys
teria that is being fanned by Presi
dent Bush and his hard-line macho
approach almost daily.”
