MACON (AP): Drug case a bust; charges dropped.
Middle Georgia’s biggest drug case ended Monday as the U.S.
Attorney’s Office announced it has dropped the third and final charge
against Panamanian industrialist Carlos Eleta Almaran.U.S.
Attorney Edgar W. Ennis Jr. said Monday he asked U.S. District
Judge Wilbur D. Owens to dismiss money laundering charges against
Eleta because there was not enough evidence to convict him. Two
cocaine conspiracy charges were dropped in January for the same
reason, he said. Drug agents, who once billed Eleta as the kingpin of a
conspiracy to smuggle 1,320 pounds of cocaine a month into Middle
Georgia, arrested Eleta and two of his countrymen on April 6 after a
five-month investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration.

WASHINGTON (AP): Young adults using drugs less.
Use of illegal drugs by high school seniors, college students and other
young adults declined in 1989, continuing a decade-long trend,
according to an annual survey released Tuesday. The survey, funded
by the National Institute on Drug abuse, said illegal drug use
dropped last year among all three categories of young people
surveyed, and that casual use among high school seniors and college
students is about half what it was a decade ago.Survey officials,
however, said they continue to be concerned about use of crack, the
highly addictive, smokable form of cocaine. They also expressed
concern about use of “ice,” or crystal methamphetamine, which was
included in the survey for the first time last year along with the drug
MDNA, known as “ecstasy.”
BOSTON (AP): Federated and Allied draws lawsuit.

Puppet* to the average person
may conjure up chilhood memories.
Puppets to Carolyn Gabb, however,
have an entirely different
meaning.
Gabb, a graduate student in lan
guage education, began her work
with puppets in 1957. Her interest
began when her brother was given
a puppet stage for his birthday.
This, combined with her parents’
encouragement toward pursuits
more creative than television
viewing, led Gabb to her current
status as a puppeteer, puppet
maker and puppet collector.
Today Gabb will perform for a
local Brownie troop at 3:15 p.m. in
room 207 of Aderhold Hall.
The troop is working on a badge
for puppetry, she said. After
watching a brief show, the troop
will make their own puppets, write
their own scripts, and eventually
perform for a community organiza
tion.
As a professional puppeteer,
Gabb has performed as nearby as
Barnett Shoals Elementary School,
and as far away as Lancaster, Pa.
She has performed for a crowd of
2,000 in Raleigh, N.C. and for a
crowd of 300 at the Athens Chil
dren’s Literature Elementary Edu
cation Conference in 1988. Her
average audience ranges from 100-
300 people, she said.
As a puppet creator, Gabb draws
ideas from a variety of sources in
cluding age issues, fantasies and
storybook characters.
Chlamydia on rise
around University
By JOHANNA VAN DER WAL
1 Contributing Writer
It’s the most common sexually
i transmitted disease in the United
i States.
Approximately 10 percent of col
lege students in the nation have it,
yet University health educator
Nancy MacNair said 80 percent of
| infected people don’t know they
have it.
It’s called chlamydia.
During fall quarter, Health
Services saw a 33 percent increase
in sexually transmitted diseases
among University students. The
| two most common STDs treated at
i the Gilbert Health Center are chla-
| mydia and genital warts, said Fran
i Beall, health center nurse prac-
tioner.
The fall increase in STDs among
i students can be attributed to the
| increase in enrollment and an in
creased concern for infection from
STDs, Beall said.
“More students are coming in to
have check ups, thus we see more
with STDs,” Beall said.
The health center is now auto-
i matically screening women for ch
lamydia when they come in for a
routine pap smear, MacNair said.
Chlamydia is a bacterium with
both viral and bacterial character
istics. It can take from five to 10
days to incubate. However, in 80
percent of women, and 25 to 50 per
cent of men, there are no symp
toms at all. This makes it a

difficult STD to contain, she said.
If symptoms do show up, they
are varied and often are mistaken
for gonorrhea, another sexually
transmitted disease.
Symptoms in women include
itching and burning in the genital
area, vaginal discharge, abdominal
pain and bleeding between men
strual periods. Symptoms in men
include painful urination and dis
charge from the penis.
Chlamydia, when detected, can
easily be treated with antibiotics,
Beall said.
If left unchecked complications
from chlamydia in women can re
sult in infertility, pelvic inflamma
tory’ disease and can be passed to a
child during birth, Beall said. In
men, complications can lead to an
infection of the urinary tract which
may result in inflammation of the
testicles and/or sterility.
The group most at risk is those
under 20 who are sexually active,
she said. Women on birth control
pills also show a higher incidence
of chlamydia.
Beall said the gain in popularity
of the birth control pill during the
past several years has contributed
to the decreased use of condoms .

“It depends on the mood I want
to create," she said.
Her newest puppet, Fiona, is a
fairy-like creature from the world
of fantasy. Gabb also is working on
a Hopi Indian woman story-teller
puppet.
“Her head is finished, but her
body is still in the womb," she said.
Gabb shows no favoritism to
ward her new puppet* though, as
all her creations are viewed with
equal affection.
They’re all magical. They’re all
favorites."
Gabb, who teaches a course in
language art* and co-teaches a
graduate course in story telling
and poetry, is a puppet collector as
well.
“When you’re a performer and
educator in puppetry, you become a
collector," she said.
Her collection spans two decades
and contains puppet* from such
places as Java, England and Ger
many.
She finds the creations at festi
vals and with dealers and other
puppeteers. Puppets from Gabb
and others are on display in room
207 of Aderhold.
Janet Lawrence, librarian in the
curriculum materials center, said
this was the only professional dis
play ever presented in there.
The displays are normally set
up to try and interest Droepective
teachers in different things,” she
said.
“I think these puppets represent
a collection of history and in
genuity not always found in dis
plays.”
■ JUDICIAL REPORT
The Student Judiciary suspended three students last week
for academic dishonesty violations.
One student was suspended for two quarters. The others re
ceived one-quarter suspensions.
The judiciary also handed down guilty verdicts in the fol
lowing cases:
• Falsification of records: student sentenced to perform
community service and write an essay as punishment.
• Falsification of records: student reprimanded and told to
write an essay.
• Disorderly conduct: student put on probated suspension
and told to do a presentation as punishment.
• Contempt of court: student given probated suspension.
These decisions may be appealed.
Judicial Programs Counselor Roger Lee said decisions are
pending in two cases heard last week. He also said Judicial Pro
grams received nine new complaints from Feb. 2-13.
Those complaints were:
• Disorderly conduct: five.
• Driving under the influence: two.
• Academic dishonesty: two.
Lee said two disorderly conduct complaints were filed
against student organizations. All complaints won’t necessarily
go to the judiciary for a hearing. Some may be settled or
dropped before then.
Students given probated suspension for an offense will be
suspended the next time they break a similar rule.
This week, Lee said the judiciary will hear 16 cases: five
drug-related; five academic dishonesty; three falsification of re
cords; one contempt of court; one disorderly conduct; one theft.
The disorderly conduct hearing concerns a student organi
zation, such as a club or a fraternity.
Falsification of records may include forging IDs, medical ex
cuses, checks or other documents. Contempt of court violations
may include lying to the judiciary, unruly behavior toward a ju
diciary official or failure to follow a court order.
According to federal law, Judicial Programs can’t name stu
dents charged with breaking University regulations. Its policy
isn’t to name organizations involved in cases until they’ve been
sentenced.
