anymore.
The second annual Red Clay
Conference is bringing together
scientists, lawyers, students and
citizens to address environ
mental and law issues today.
Waste management, recycling
and groundwater contamination
are some of the topics that will be
addressed in panel discussions
and workshops today and Sat
urday.
The conference is sponsored by
the Environmental Law Associa

zation in the School of Law
Murray Weed, a third year law
student and one of the coordina
tors of the conference, said stu
dents organized the conference
and will serve as moderators in
panel discussions
“Individual students have had
a lot of input,” Weed said.
The law association has re
ceived support from the Environ
mental Section of the Georgia
Bar Association and REM, Weed
said.
Faculty from the Institute of
Ecology, the Institute of Natural
Resources, the Institute of Com
munity and Area Development,

the Carl Vinson Institute of Gov
ernment will be represented.
Chris DeForest, a research
coordinator in the School of
Forest Resources, said he will ad
dress Southern forestry and
management in a panel dis
cussion.
'There’s been a big controwrsy
of low lumber sales and emphasis
of timber production instead of
wildlife habitats, recreation
areas and biodiversity, which in
volves providing habitats for a
large number of species," he said
The conference is "a rare
chance for students to hear this
variety of viewpoints," DeForest
said.
Terence Centner, un associate
professor in the agricultural de
partment, said he will discuss the
blameless contamination of
groundwater

The sweet song of victory played
for University doctoral student
Andy Wen when he was named a
national winner in the Music Tea
cher's Association of Collegiate
Artists Competition.
Wen proceeded to the finals
Monday as the Southeast region’s
woodwinds category winner and
competed against five other re
gional winners for the national
title.
“I wasn’t as sure of myself as I
usually am. I didn’t feel like I had
done very well, but then again, I’ve
felt that wav at every competition
I’ve won,” Wen said.
The competition awarded $2,000
to each of the nine category win
ners, who performed in a winner’s
recital at the National Association
of Music Teacher’s Conference
Tuesday night.
“I felt really confident about it
beforehand because the kind of au
dience that I had was the kind I
love to play for — musically well-
educated people who are sup
portive and appreciative,” Wen
said. “I thought the piece was very
well received.”
Kenneth Fischer, Wen’s saxo
phone instructor, said his student’s
accomplishment should bring pres
tige to the School of Music ns well
as to the entire University.
‘This is the largest national
competition for woodwinds and to
have Andy get this far says n lot for
the educational process we’re cur
rying on here,” he said.
Fischer said Wen’s victory also
may provide opportunities for fu
ture performances if conductors
were attending Tuesday’s recital.
Wen said the director of the Col
orado Philharmonic Orchestra was
in the audience looking for musi
cians to play solos with the or
chestra this summer.
“Hopefully, I’ll be one of those
people," he said.
Wen and Fischer will perform in
recitals nnd give lectures in next
week’s General Worldwide State of
the Saxophone meeting. The inter
national gathering will celebrate
the 150th anniversary of the saxo
phone’s invention in Angers,
France.
The Red nnd Black reported
Wednesday that Peter Fletcher, a
junior music performance major,
received on honorable mention in
the guitar category. The results of
saxophone competition weren’t
available at press time.

Six traffic accidents have oc
curred on Baxter Street since road
construction began there last
month, according to Hilda
Spratlin, Athens Police public in
formation assistant. But she said it
isn’t certain whether the accidents
were caused by hazardous road
conditions.
However, Joe Best, a state
transportation engineer, said
“there is a definite possibility” the
accidents could lie related to the re
routing of traffic during construc
tion .
“But,” he said, “there are a high
number of accidents on that road
anyway.”
In a joint effort, the state De
partment of Transportation and
the City of Athens are repaving the
street.
Paving should lx*gin no later
than Wednesday and should l>e
completed within four days, Best
said.
Construction on the road
would’ve been completed during
spring break but was delayed by
four days of rain, Best said.
Also, a process culled “milling,”
in which the old pavement is re
moved to Ik? recycled and used else
where, has slowed construction, he
said. Recycled pavement will Ik?
used on Baxter Street
Rough, unmarked pavement is a
drawback to the time-consuming
process of digging up the road, he
said.
The city chose this method lx*
cause it’s less expensive and con
serves virgin pavement, but using
recycled material won’t make the
new surface weaker, Best said.
Charles Fuller, manager of Off
Campus Bookstore on Baxter
Street said his business hasn’t
been hampered as much as it
could’ve been during the first week
of the quarter.
“I know they did all they could
have to get the job done nnd not
hurt my business. It would have
