By JOEL GROOVER
Staff Writer
The Student Judiciary found seven people guilty of disorderly con
duct violations last week after hearing several fighting and physical
harassment cases.
The judiciary also handed down the following sentences:
• Five students were found innocent of theft charges.
• A student was ordered to write a paper or face suspension for a
contempt of court violation.
• A student was suspended spring quarter for academic dishon
esty.
• j' WO 8tu< * ents received 40 hours of community service and were
placed on probated suspension for falsification of records.
• Seven students were found guilty of disorderly conduct. Five
were involved in fights. Another was charged with physical ha
rassment. The sentences ranged from expulsion from housing to com
munity service with probated expulsion.
From March 6 to 13, Judicial Programs took in three disorderly
conduct complaints, one against a fraternity, two theft complaints and
an academic dishonesty complaint, said Judicial Programs Counselor
Roger Lee.
Dioxin standard debated
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Paper companies
endorsed a weaker standard for di
oxin levels in Georgia’s waterways
during a public hearing
Wednesday, while environmental
groups urged the state to adopt
stricter regulations.
About 20 people spoke on the
issue for the benefit or members of
the state Board of Natural Re
sources.
The board members are sched
uled to decide March 28 on the al
lowable level of dioxins.
Dioxin is a toxic chemical identi
fied as the cause of various health
problems, including cancer.
Representatives of five paper
companies that use a dioxin-pro
ducing bleaching process —Gilman
Paper Co. near St. Marys, ITT Ray-
onier in Wayne County, Procter
and Gamble Cellulose in Macon
County, Federal Paper Board in
Augusta and Brunswick Pulp and
Paper in Brunswick —are asking
the board to make a dioxin level of
7.2 parts per quadrillion the per
manent state standard.
But environmental groups say
that standard is 18,000 times
weaker than standards in other
states and 500 times weaker than
the levels recommended by the fed
eral Environmental Protection
Agency.
Katherine Rhyne, an attorney
representing the five mills, called
the standard "extremely stringent”
but praised the state for “devel
oping a standard that is rea
sonable, measurable, achievable
and, most importantly, it’s scien
tifically defensible.”
Opponents argued that, instead
of weakening the standard for the
good of the companies, the state
should allow the release of less di
oxin.
“Stricter water quality control is
ood for this state," said Allen Hen-
erson, executive director of
Georgians for Clean Water, who
asked the state to re-evaluate the
dioxin levels with the EPA.

Bush ambiguous on Rostenkowski proposal
Biomedical waste: Nowhere to go
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - President
Bush said Tuesday an ambitious
deficit-cutting plan by Democratic
Rep. Dan Rostenkowski could help
"break the ice” toward an elusive
long-range budget agreement be
tween Congress and the White
House.
While offering little encourage
ment that he would sign off on its
most controversial elements — a
Social Security freeze and a tax in
crease — Bush seemed to open the
door to nn eventual compromise.
Calling himself just “one player”
in the process, Bush declared: “Are
we prepared to negotiate? Absolu
tely.”
On another economic policy
matter, Bush also denied at a news
conference that he was considering
replacing Alan Greenspan as
chairman of the Federal Reserve
Board next year in a dispute over
interest-rate policy.
‘There’s no bubbling war with
Alan Greenspan,” Bush said. “I’m
not in a Fed-bashing mode.”
He said that he and Greenspan
have had differences over how high
interest rates should be but added:
“Every president would like to see
interest rates lower.”
The Los Angeles Times reported
last week that Bush was so un
happy with Greenspan’s tight-
credit policies that he likely would
replace him when his term as
chairman expires in 1991. “There
is no discussion of that nature at
all,” Bush said.
The president, as Budget Di
rector Richard Darman and other
administration aides had done the
day before, seemed to go out of his
way to praise the deficit-reduction
plan put forward several days ago
by the Democratic chairman of the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Rostenkowski’s plan, which
would replace the current Gramm-
Rudman Act for chopping the def
icit in stages, seeks to balance the
budget through a combination of
tax increases and spending cuts.
It would raise taxes on the
highest-income wage earners from
the present 28 percent to 33 per
cent and increase taxes on ciga
rettes, alcohol and tobacco. It
would also freeze most federal pro
grams, including Social Security,
at present levels for one year.
That would deny some 39 mil
lion Americans a Social Security
cost-of-living increase scheduled
for next January.
The Illinois Democrat’s plan
would also rechannel some or the
“peace dividend,” defense money
saved because of reduced East-
West tensions, into further re
ducing the deficit.
While making it clear he was not
embracing the package in its pre
sent form, Bush praised
Rostenkowski for putting forward
the bold initiative with “evident
goodwill and determination to try
to break the ice and move the
process forward.”
Asked if he was for a tax in
crease at this time, Bush said: “No,
I’m not for a tax (increase) ” But he
stopped short of making the same
pledge on Social Security.
When asked if he would oppose a
freeze on Social Security benefits,
Bush said: "Well, there are a lot of
things I’m not for in his proposal —
a lot — including taxes.”
Bush, who in the past has
threatened to have his veto pen
ready for any proposed tax in
crease passed by Congress, on
Tuesday offered a much milder re
sponse when asked if he could as
sure Americans that there would
be no new taxes this year.
Tm only one player, but you
know my position, and I have no in
tention of changing that position,”
Bush said.
When a reporter pressed further
and asked Bush under what cir
cumstances he might support a tax
increase, he shot back. ‘Too hypo
thetical. Nice try.”

DALTON, Ga. — The Dalton-
Whitfield County landfill will ac
cept garbage generated by the
monastery where an AIDS patient
residence is planned, but an official
says procedural problems with bi
omedical waste muBt be resolved.
Mack Belue, manager of Dalton-
Whitfield County Solid Waste
Management, said his department
will be “more than happy to take
their garbage.”
But he added: “We’re asking
them to follow the procedures that
we have to follow. The biomedical
waste has to be segregated from
the regular garbage, and we have
to be aware of what’s in it. We’re
probably going to have to monitor
the garbage again and make sure
that it’s being handled properly.
"We’re not taking sides con
cerning this," Belue said. “It’s just
good environmental policy. We’ve
got an obligation to our people who
work at the landfill and to the
public.”
St. Raphael’s Residence, a hos
pice planned at the monastery,
would provide 15 beds for the ter
minally ill patients, including pa
tients in the final stages of AIDS.
Many local residents have op
posed the hospice, and monastery
officials had charged that the land
fill’s refusal to accept its garbage
was discrimination.
Belue said Tuesday that biomed
ical waste must be contained in a
way that will minimize exposure to
the public and must be separated
from other waste at the point it
was generated.
“If they want to segregate that
garbage, put it in non-easily-cru-
9hable containers and red bags and
make a manifest of it so that we
know what it is and when to expect
it, we can still take it," Belue said.
