Soule Hall is almost ready
By KATHI MILLS
Contributing Writer
Soule Hall renovation will be
complete by fall quarter, adding
such amenities as an exercise
room and air conditioning to the
71-|ear-old University residence
Soule, an unoccupied women’s
residence hall, will also feature
suites, which consist of three bed
rooms around a central living
area, according to David
Matheny, an architect with the
Campus Planning Department.
John Ayoob, residence opera
tions consultant for the housing
department, said the hall will
have double-occupancy rooms
and a limited number of single
occupancy rooms. Single-occu
pancy rooms consist of one bed
room in a three-bedroom suite
with one and one half baths, he
said.
Suites will not have kitchens,
but there will be a kitchen and
dining area on each of the three
floors, Ayoob said.
Only the first floor will be
handicapped accessible because
Soule Hall has no elevator.
The hall will have a security
system much like thoee already
in place at Brumbv and Creswell
Halls, Ayoob said. This system
allows only residents with secu
rity cards and their guests to
enter the building.
Soule was chosen for renova
tion because of its age and condi
tion in the winter of 1988,
according to Jerry Studdard, as
sistant to the housing director.
"It was one of the first women’s
dorms,” Matheny said. “It was
just dilapidated and it was a fire
hazard.”
Ayoob said he expects Soule
Hall rent to increase because of
the renovation, but he doesn’t
know how much. Before the reno
vations were made, rent was
$375.
Dan Hallenbeck, University
Housing director, who makes the
final decision about residence
hall rent prices, said no decision
has been reached yet.
Ayoob said Soule Hall floor
plans are available for viewing by
students wishing to live there fall
quarter. Interested students
should go by the housing office at
Russell Hall.
Illegals stopped en-route to New York
The Associated Press
egal
aliens, a hope for a better life stopped with a
shudder Wednesday when federal immigration
agents boarded their Los Angeles-to-New York
flight and escorted them off.
In a locked room at Hartsfield Atlanta Inter
national Airport, the 45 sat dejected, quietly
waiting to be photographed, fingerprinted and
bused to Texas or Florida to await deportation.
Most had paid all they had or could borrow to
smugglers who promised safe passage to New
York City and sometimes provided false docu
ments.
Agents dubbed the bust “Red-Eye Replay,” a
reference to the cheap night flights favored by
aliens trying to scatter from where they entered
the United States.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service
said it started watching the Eastern Airlines
flight when an unusually large number of Latin
names started showing up on passenger lists.
Neil Jacobs, the assistant director of the At
lanta Regional INS office, said about 90 Latin
names were on the same flight from Los An
geles a day earlier, which prompted agents to
board Wednesday’s flight when it made a
scheduled stop in Atlanta.
Most of Wednesday’s aliens were Mexican
but some came from El Salvador, Honduras,
Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala and Colombia.
Fischer said those detained would be allowed
to try to prove they were victims of political per
secution in order to gain refugee status. Aliens
who enter the United States strictly for eco
nomic reasons do not qualify as refugees.
Newspapers in many Latin American coun
tries carry ads from “travel agencies” special
izing in trips to the Mexican border, and the
thinly disguised alien smugglers do a booming
business with mostly poor Latinos seeking to
escape grinding poverty, war and political ter
rorism.
Four candidates to attend males-only banquet
The Associated Press
SAVANNAH, Ga. — The presi
dent of the Hibernian Society of
Savannah said the society’s St.
Patrick’s Day banquet isn’t a polit
ical gathering, but politics came
into play when only four guberna
torial candidates were originally
invited.
The four candidates’ decision to
attend the Saturday function,
which iB for men only, was also
questioned by women’s groups.
Respondents admit to telling lies for sex
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Here’s an insight
that may fail to shock dedicated
students of the mating game:
People often tell lies in order to
have sex.
Two California researchers
reached that conclusion about
dating behavior after taking a
survey of college students.
In the survey, 34 percent of male
respondents and 10 percent of
women admitted they had "told a
lie in order to have sex." Even more
said they would lie if a situation
arose where it would be to their ad
vantage.
The researchers noted that
young people are advised to choose
sexual partners who are at low risk
of infection with HIV, the AIDS
virus. One way to do this is to ques
tion partners about their sexual
pasts.
‘The implications of our findings
are clear, they wrote in Thurs
day’s New England Journal of
Medicine. ‘"Patients should be cau
tioned that safe-sex strategies are
always advisable, despite argu
ments to the contrary from part
ners.”
The survey was based on ques
tionnaires filled out by 196 men
and 226 women at colleges in
southern California. It was con
ducted by Drs. Susan Cochran of
California State University in
Northridge and Vickie Mays of the
University of California, Los An
geles.
Asked about hypothetical situa
tions, many people said they would
be willing to tell lies. For instance,
20 percent of the men and four per
cent of the women said they would
lie about having negative AIDS
tests. Forty-seven percent of the
men and 42 percent of the women
said they would understate the
number of previous sex partners.
“One can probably assume that
their reports of their own dishon
esty underestimate rather than
overestimate the problem," the re
searchers added.
Jimmy Carter, Lech Walesa may
help to renovate Polish buildings
The Associated Press
AMERICUS, Ga. — Electrician
Lech Walesa and carpenter Jimmy
Carter will work together on a
building project in Poland if an offi
cial of Habitat for Humanity, the
Christian organization that builds
housing for the poor, has his way.
Clive Rainey, Habitat’s senior
associate for development, said he
visited Poland recently to study
that country’s housing crisis and to
lay the groundwork for a project
that could include renovation and
expansion of former government-
owned buildings for apartments.
He said he hopes to see the day
when Walesa, the leader of Po
land’s Solidarity labor movement
and an electrician by trade, works
on the project with Carter, the
former president who has done car
pentry work on dozens of Habitat
buildings.
“Poland’s housing problems are
extensive,” said Rainey, who met
with U.S. diplomats and Solidarity
leaders ana toured appartment
buildings during his recent visit.
“Families of five are living in tiny
Government ownership
has left many Polish
buildings in a
dilapidated state
one-room apartments. The average
waiting period for a house is 17 to
20 years. For this reason, many
married people are living with
their parents and even grandpa
rents.”
“You don’t find people in
shacks," he said. “What you find is
just this tremendous over
crowding.”
Rainey said he met with one of
Walesa’s economic aides at Solida
rity headquarters in Gdansk and
was told that Walesa would like to
become an honorary board member
if Habitat establishes a Polish affil
iate.
Americus-based Habitat is an
ecumenical Christian organization
that builds homes in partnership
with people in need. It sponsors
projects in 446 U.S. and Canadian
communities and 28 foreign coun
tries.
Rainey said Habitat could be
working in Poland before the end of
the year. He said the Polish would
first have to appoint a board of di
rectors and submit a project pro
posal.
He believes much of the funding
would come from the Polish-Amer
ican community in the U.S.
Tve spoken to a few Polish-
Americans. They get extremely ex
cited,” he said. “If every Polish -
American gave a dollar, there’d be
$10 million.”
Rainey said government own
ership has left many Polish build
ings in a dilapidated state. With
the collapse of the Polish commu
nist party, its massive headquar
ters in downtown Warsaw is nearly
deserted and could be converted to
an apartment building, he said.
Rainey said the new Polish gov
ernment lacks the funds to over
come housing problems.
“Now that capitalism has ar
rived, there will be joblessness and
homelessness,” he said.

The uproar started Tuesday
when reporters discovered that
former Atlanta Mayor Andrew
Young hadn’t been invited to the
banquet but four other candidates
had.
Lt. Gov. Zell Miller received an
official invitation because he is a
constitutional officer, society offi
cials said Wednesday. State Rep.
Lauren “Bubba” McDonald of Com
merce, state Sen. Roy Barnes of
Mableton and Rep. Johnny Isakson
of Marietta were invited by mem
bers, who are allowed two guests
each, a society spokesman said.
“Unless someone’s a state
elected official, you have to be in
vited by a member,” said society
president Thomas Sheehan.
Sheehan said Wednesday that
an invitation had been issued to
Young by a member, but Lee
Echols, Young’s press secretary,
said the candidate had no plans to
attend the banquet. He adaed that
Young had not formally received
his invitation Wednesday.
The Hibernian Society, a 178-
year-old organization whose mem
bership is restricted to the male de
scendants of founding members
and men of Irish descent, has al
ways excluded women from its an
nual banquet.
“As important as the women’s
vote has become, I’m surprised the
candidates would knowingly par
ticipate in a political activity that
excludes women," said Nancy Hall,
co-chair of the Georgia Women’s
Political Caucus.
