Coles will deliver Tate Center address
about children and their moral ideas
By SHANNON SAVAGE
Contributing Writer
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “Chil-
dren of Crisis,” Dr. Robert Coles, will deliver
this quarter’s Charter Lecture Monday at 4
p m. in the Tate Student Center theater.
Coles, a child psychiatrist and pediatrician,
is renowned internationally for his research
regarding children and their reactions to pov-
er ty» homelessness and desegregation.
Stanley Lindberg, Charter Lecture series
committee member and editor of the Georgia
Review said Coles’ lecture ‘The Moral Life of
the Young," will most likely deal with the topic
of Coles’ last book, ‘The Call of Stories: Tea
ching and The Moral Imagination."
Coles’ book deals with the idea that all of
education should involve the telling of stories,
he said.
However, parents and educators have been
overlooking stories’ moral aspects. Hell prob
ably develop this idea, Lindberg said.
The Charter Lecture series, sponsored by
the office of Academic Affairs, began last fall
in a quarterly effort to bring respected
scholars with interdisciplinary focuses to the
University.
Lindberg suggested Coles as this quarter’s
lecturer because of Coles’ reputation as a
speaker who appeals to all academic disci
plines.
“Coles is the kind of person who’s achieved
national and international renown in his
field.,” he said. “I think he has something to
say to many different components of the Uni
versity.
“He speaks on all levels, not just scholar to
scholar, Lindberg said.
Carol Winthrop, assistant to the vice presi
dent of Academic Affairs, agrees that Coles’
interdisciplinary appeal as well as the timely
nature of his research make him an excellent
choice for a lecturer.
“He’s a current thinker addressing a recent
topic — the life of the young and homeless
children, she said.
“It’s a timely subject with a wide interest to
people in education, psychology and humani
ties.”
Auto thieves reported
As if the parking situation here
weren’t bad enough, students
again have to worry about pesky,
car-stereo thieves.
Five students reported to Uni
versity Police Wednesday that
their cars had been broken into at
the Green Street and River Road
commuter lots between 8:30 a.m.
and 2:15 p.m.
University Police Sgt. Richard
Goodson said since the culprits
broke out each car’s windows, it’s
likely the thefts were committed by
the same person or people.
University Police Cnief Chuck
Horton said the thieves probably
aren’t students.
‘They usually hit the city, too.
Often times it’s a small group."
Three of the break-ins occurred
on River Road, with the other two
on Green Street. Only one of the
cars broken into on Green Street
Five students reported
to University Police
Wed. that their cars
had been broken into in
several commuter lots.
had anything stolen, although
losses from that vehicle totaled
$1,100.
The last time the commuter lots
were hit so badly was opening day
of football season last September,
when 23 cars were broken into in
the secluded Green Street and
Driflmier Street lot.
“These things are cyclical,”
Horton said. “We never know wl at
day these things are going to
happen.”

Cease fire: Violence is waning little by little
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Warring national
ists agreed Thursday to a cease
fire along one of the battlefronts of
the bloody conflict between Ar
menia and Azerbaijan, Tass said.
The announcement came as
Baltic activists, worried that the
dispute might affect their own
peaceful push for independence, of
fered to help mediate the blood
feud between Armenia and Azer
baijan.
Iran, which has ethnic and reli
gious ties to Azerbaijan, also of
fered to help settle the crisis.
There were fewer reports of
fighting Thursday. Tass said life
was returning to normal in Baku,
the Azerbaijani capital that was
the scene of much of the violence.
During talks in the Armenian
town of Yeraskhe, representatives
of the Armenian All-National
Movement and the People’s Front
of Nakhichevan agreed to lay down
their weapons, the Soviet news
agency said.
“According to the agreement,
along the entire border between
Armenia and the Nakhichevan Au
tonomous region all exchanges of
fire between opposing informal
groups must stop," Tass said.
Tass did not say whether the
truce was holding. It also was un
certain whether the two organiza
tions could enforce it.
Martin Martirosyan, a
spokesman for the the Armenian
All-National Movement, said no
agreement had been reached yet on
an exchange of hostages. He said
three Armenians were being held
by Azerbaijanis.
Tass also said a truce was
reached on the border of Armenia’s
Idzhevan district and Azerbaijan’s
Kazakh district.
Witnesses said they have seen
nationalists fighting there with au
tomatic weapons and artillery
taken from Soviet soldiers.
Tass added that a meeting of the
leaders of the informal organiza
tions would take place Saturday to
agree on further separating the mi
litias.
The fighting is perhaps the big
gest internal crisis that has faced
President Mikhail S. Gorbachev
during his nearly five years in
power. Gorbachev’s fostering of
greater freedom has helped spur
the nationalist movements in sev
eral Soviet republics and in the
East bloc.
President Bush praised Gorba
chev Thursday as the “best hope”
in the Soviet Union for the United
States, and he declined to fault him
for using force to restore order in
Azerbaijan.
“I want very much for him to
succeed. I think he has conducted
himself in an extraordinarily diffi
cult situation very well,” Bush
said. The pro-independence
movements from the Baltic repub
lics of Lithuania, Latvia and Es
tonia stepped into the dispute
between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
They called for nationalist groups
in the warring republics to take
part in a peace conference Monday
in Riga, the Latvian capital.
Spokeswoman Anda Anspoka of
the Latvian People’s Front in Riga
said the Armenian All-National
Movement confirmed it would at
tend.
But the Azerbaijani People’s
Front was not expected to decide
until Friday whether to partici
pate, Usus Samed Ogli, a front di
rector, said by telephone from
Baku.
Bush wants more for his war on drugs;
Urges capital punishment for kingpins
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - President
Bush proposed a $1.1 billion in
crease Thursday for the war
against drugs, targeting more
money for a Pentagon attack on co
caine traffickers and urging the
death penalty for drug kingpins.
Bush’s package would total
$10.6 billion and boost the cost of
the nation’s drug-fighting strategy
in fiscal 1991 by 11.6 percent over
current spending of $9.5 billion.
Bush said he expects the Senate
will try to approve a higher budget
than he is asking, but said, “We do
sense a desire on the part of the
Congress to cooperate.”
“In terms of the objectives of this
strategy, we’re in pretty close
accord with both Democrats and
Republicans on the Hill, so I think
we can get early action,” Bush said.
Calling drugs “this nation’s No.
1 concern,” Bush announced his
proposal in a White House speech
to newspaper editors.
The plan is the second phase of
the drug war strategy unveiled in
September and targets five areas
for intensified federal drug-
fighting efforts.
While claiming progress in the
drug war, Bush said, “Given the
headlines we’ve seen recently, it’s
clear we’re only getting started.”
Federal anti-drug efforts in
those areas will benefit from mil
lions of dollars in additional fed
eral help this year and next.
The current budget allocates $25
million for the worst-afflicted
areas, plus up to $21 million more
from the federal asset forfeiture
fund, said Reggie Walton, associate
director of national drug policy di
rector William Bennette office.
The 1991 budget calls for $50 mil
lion for those areas.
Bush said one-third of this
budget would go toward education,
prevention and treatment pro
grams; another third to domestic
enforcement and the final third for
border interdiction and interna
tional operations.
The largest spending increase
would go to the Pentagon to ex
pand its drug-fighting role. It
would receive $1.2 billion, up from
about $878 million in the current
fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.
About $638 million of the Pen
tagon funds would be earmarked
for detection and monitoring of tra
ffickers trying to enter the country
with illicit drugs.
“Our approach remains consis
tent ... to reduce use through an in
tegrated mix of supply- and
demand-side approaches. And that
means doing everything that
works,” Bush said.
