Census questionnaires will be mailed
to UGA students within next 2 weeks
By SANDRA STEPHENS
Staff Writer
Questionnaires for the 1990 census are on
their way to University students.
Martha Webb, manager of field operations
for the U.S. Census Bureau in Athens, said the
bureau will deliver questionnaires to group
living quarters such as residence halls, sorority
and fraternity houses and prisons from April 2
to 16.
The bureau’s confidentiality policy prevents
the release of the exact dates questionnaires
will be delivered to residence halls.
A census taker will return for the question
naires a week after they’re delivered.
‘The form shouldn’t take very long to fill
out,” Webb said.
The questionnaire will ask whether the stu
dent has a home elsewhere and where it is,
Webb said.
‘This will make sure they’re not counted
twice,” she said.
There are questionnaires for individual
living quarters and group living quarters,
Webb said.
CENSUS
Each type of questionnaire has a long form
and a short form.
About 17 percent of the population will get a
long form which has about 33 questions and
takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete, she said.
The short form, which has about seven ques
tions, should take three to five minutes to com
plete, she said.
Which form a person receives is determined
randomly by computer.
Webb advises students to fill out the ques
tionnaire as soon as possible and put it in a safe
place until the census taker comes to collect it.
“We would really like to get 100 percent of
the students," Webb said.
Hortense Bates, head of data services at the
main library, said students will be counted as
part of the Athens population.
Uses for census data include determining
voting districts and where to build schools, she
said. The data can also be used for market in
formation.
“Most people don’t realize how important it
(the census) is until they get into business and
planning,” Bates said.
Mark McMahan, a planner for the Athens-
/Clarke County Planning Commission, said stu
dents often complain about their lack of
representation in the community.
“By participating in the census, it gives them
(students) more leverage in terms of being rep
resented in the community,” McMahan said.
About 360 employees work in the census bu
reau in Athens, including some students.
She said the office, which oversees 26 coun
ties, opened in October 1989 and will close in
September.

dents who informed the resident
assistants,” Richardson said.
The reaction and the way the in
formation was distributed differed
from hall to hall, she said. The GRs
and RAs decided on the best way to
get the information to everyone,
she said.

Roy Barnes gets the boo
for anti-abortion comments
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — State Sen. Roy
Barnes’ weekend comments on
abortion drew boos from a
women’s group and didn’t fare
much better among Democratic
Party insiders, but Barnes in
sisted he’s supportive of women.
“We’re not talking total failure
of campaign or self-destruct, but
it wasn’t a good day for Roy
Barnes,” said Secretary of State
Max Cleland.
At a gubernatorial candidates’
forum Saturday conducted by the
Georgia Federation of Demo
cratic Women, Barnes expressed
his opposition to abortion in most
cases.
“I would be in favor of restric
tions with regard to gender selec-
tion abortions, late-term
abortions and abortion as a
matter of convenience,” Barnes
said at the forum. “I recognize
where abortion is done as a
matter of health.”
Some Democratic observers
said Barnes hurt his candidacy
with the remark, though the sen
ator from Cobb County defended
his record on women’s issues.
“I’m extremely disappointed
with the suggestion that I have
been less than a longtime sup
porter of women,” Barnes, D-
Mableton, said in a statement
Sunday.
“He’s clearlv slipped a little
even before that and this cer
tainly won’t help,” said Joel
Cowan, a top political adviser to
Gov. Joe Fn.nk Harris.
"I don't think Roy is in the real
world,” said Lt. Gov. Zell Miller,
a rival Democratic candidate who
did not attend Saturday’s forum.
“He doesn’t understand the new
Georgia. He doesn’t understand
the changing role of women.”
Former Gov. Lester Maddox, a
Democratic gubernatorial candi
date who did attend the forum,
also drew boos when he said he
would support restrictions on
abortions if they were allowed by
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Former Atlanta Mayor An
drew Young, who has taken the
strongest stand in favor of abor
tion rights, received the most ap
plause. Young said he would try
to uphold unfettered rights to
abortions even if the Supreme
Court rules in favor of restric
tions.
