UGA reviews environmental role
By GAYL BARRETT
Staff Writer
itv c
mental task force met
Wednesday to inquire into pro
posals for the academic curric-
ulum. The 14-member
committee was chaired by Presi
dent Emeritus Henry King
Stanford.
The committee will review
how the University's academic
curriculum relates to environ
mental issues.
"We, as a generation, have to
become more aware,” Ian He-
nyon, a junior journalism major
said. “We have no other choice.”
Henyon, a Student Associa
tion senator, is a task force
member who University Presi
dent Charles Knapp appointed.
As an SA senator, he was se
lected to represent student in
terests.
‘We are here to learn things
that will prove important to us
in everyday life,” he said. “Envi
ronmental issues are just that.”
Committee vice-chairman
Frederick Ferre said the task
force divided its work into three
subcommittees. One group will
study how environmental issues
are presently taught at the Uni
versity and at elementary and
high schools.
Another will research envi
ronmental instruction taught
from around the world, he said.
A third group will research pos
sible models and ideas.
University faculty and staff
members on the committee
come from various departments.
Experts in ecology, zoology,
botany, law and agriculture all
plan to work together on the
project, he said.
There is a separate com
mittee working on improving
environmental standards at the
Universitv. Its purpose is to
make the University “environ
mentally sound,” Henyon said.
It will address specific issues
such as recycling on campus and
waste control, Henyon said.

“I would think their greatest
need would be to find a way to
move in and out of the system
without obstacles, for them to be
comfortable,” he said.
Before beginning his tenure at
USC, Daniels was a program ad
viser with the University’s Depart
ment of Student Affairs from 1981-
86. He served as adviser to black
student organizations here, such
as the Black Student Union and
black*Greek organizations.
“It appears that the institution
has reached a point where it’s
ready to meet the concerns of black
students,” Daniels said.
When he left, in September 1986,
Daniels said the administration
didn’t understand minority con
cerns adequately, or have ideas on
how to meet them.
But since then, Daniels said the
University’s new upper-level ad
ministration has taken a much dif
ferent attitude.
“I see the president has a com
mitment to address the needs of
this segment of the population,” he
said.
Sensitizing staff and students to
the needs of minority students
would be a major role of the di
rector, Daniels said.
The director also will plan the
development of the new African-
American Cultural Center on
campus.
He said the office should func
tion more in the realm of consulta
tion, facilitating students’ use of
existing services instead of dupli
cating them.
Turnout at the two scheduled in
terviews with student representa
tives wasn’t high, Daniels said, but
he didn’t know the exact number of
student groups represented.
“It would’ve been good if there
had been a wider representation,”
he said.
Only four of 13 invited groups
sent representatives to an inter
view with Leslie Bates, a candidate
who came to campus last week.

that the proposed SPACENTER, a
multi-million dollar recreational
facility which hasn’t received
funding yet, will alleviate many of
the problems freshmen and sopho
mores face when trying to register
for PE courses.
Brassie said the Curriculum
Committee will take the SA recom
mendation into account when
making their final recommenda
tion to University Council.
In other business:
• SA approved a motion to
submit a letter to Athletic Director
Vince Dooley asking that he re-
•quest, at the Georgia Athletic As
sociation’s next meeting, security
lights for the track near the colli-
seum .
• Junior Sen. Todd King said the
SA will not request a second escort
van until the end of the quarter.
University Police Capt. Mitch
Jones told King that the request
shouldn’t be made at this time be
cause they haven’t had enough
time to evaluate the project.
• Junior Sen. Marc Cromie re
signed. He stated in a letter to SA
that he would not be able to fulfill
his duties as senator due to
schedule conflicts. This is the fifth
resignation since elections were
held last spring.
• SA will review article five of its
Constitution,which deals with elec
tions, at Tuesday’s meeting.

“ Never be afraid to question
your beliefs and what you hear,”
said Malcolm X at a round table
discussion Tuesduy night in the
Tate Student Center.
Malcolm X, portrayed by Cerille
Nassau, senior political science
major, was among four civil rights
leaders portrayed by students at
the panel discussion, sponsored by
the Committee for Martin Luther
King Jr.’s Birthday Celebration.
The cast, selected by Tom Ellis,
assistant professor of drama, also
included: Bernadette Clarke, se
nior drama major, as Ida B. Wells;
FIorunte Galvez, as W.E.B. DuBois
and Lonnie Walls Jr., senior polit
ical science major, as Martin Lu
ther King Jr.
The cast, portraying a round
table discussion panel, debated
philosophies and took questions
from the audience of about 100
people.
Eric Wise, sophomore journa
lism major, asked how students
could better represent Malcolm X’s
legacy.
Nassau said students should
look at themselves for answers and
try to get a good education.
‘Those of you who have been
holding your fist in the air,
shouting my name with nothing in
side — don’t do it again,” he said.
Wise then asked Walls’ King
character how he felt about the cel
ebration of his birthday.
“ I didn’t do the things I did in
my life to get a birthday cele
bration,” Walls said.

major, said that the discussion was
extremely informative.
“ It broke down any misconcep
tions a person might have had
about Malcolm X," he said.
Brenda Richardson, assistant di
rector of University housing, said
that the purpose of the round table
discussion was to create a caucus
on the different views and philoso
phies of the leaders.
Sima Parekh, president of the
Residence Hall Association, served
as moderator of the program.
“It went very well after the ques
tions started rolling in,” she said.
