ATLANTA (AP): Not all of Fed's 80 s drug goals met.
Several of the federal government’s major 1990 goals for drug and
alcohol abuse have been met, but others haven’t been reached
because of the spread of cocaine, federal health researchers said
Thursday Goals set in 1980 for curbing drunken driving deaths,
alcohol cor.sumpeon and cirrhosis within the decade have been met,
the national Centers for Disease Control reported Thursday But
goals set for teen-age and young adult abstinence from drugs and
booze have been met only in part, as cocaine use has increased
dramatically “The percentage of persons using cocane at least once a
*ee!< has increased from 5 3 percent in 1985 to 10.5 percent in 198$,
the Atlanta-based CDC reported “Increased us* of cocaine among
adolescents is of particular concern,’ the CDC said, noting previously
published studies say people who are younger when they first try
dr-gs or alcohol have more rubatar.ee abuse as adults.

ATLANTA (AP): Wife gets AIDS through insemination.
A wife has become infected with AIDS virus in the “very risky*
zrocess of artificial insemination with her infected husband’s sperm,
federal AIDS researchers reported Thursday. Despite the efforts of
fertility specialists to remove the AIDS virus through separation and
filtration, the previously uninfected woman tested positive for the
virus in January after inseminations last August, October and
December. The husband, a hemophilia patient, had tested positive for
AIDS infection since 1985. Many hemophilia patients became
infected in the first years of the AIDS epidemic, through
contaminated olood-clotting products that many hemophiliacs must
take The Centers for Disease Control, as is its policy, did not disclose
the couple's identity.
WASHINGTON (AP): Nunn urges deep defense cuts.
The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday
jrged far deeper cuts in U.S. forces in Europe than the baseline
number President Bush has adopted. Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., also
called for a reduction in the Navy’s carrier battle groups. Citing the
collapse of the Warsaw Pact as a military alliance, Nunn said the
Bush administration should begin planning for a residual force in
Europe of between 75,000 and 100,000 within five years. In recent
U.S.-Soviet negotiations on a conventional arms reduction treaty, the
administration has proposed 195,000 American troops in Central
Europe and 30,000 elsewhere on the continent. Nunn said that
despite the administration’s contention that 195,000 is a floor below
which the United States cannot go, the nation must begin planning
for significant further reductions.
MODESTO, Calif. (AP): Stray seal found shot to death.
A California sea lion that wandered 100 miles up the San Joaquin
River was shot to death, authorities said. The 214-pound seal named
Judge was found beached Sunday on the river bank west of Modesto.
Two days later, it was found dead with a gunshot wound, said
Warden Hugh Rutherford of the state Department of Pish and Game.
- I got a call about a seal in the river. I said ‘A seal? Who ever heard of
a seal in the San Joaquin River?” Rutherford said. Rutherford said
Judge apparently got lost while in the San Francisco Bay. Authorities
haven’t determined who shot the seal, but if caught the person could
face a year in jail and a $20,000 fine.

LONDON (AP): Perfume replaces subway's stench.
Transport officials Thursday offered perfume to passengers fed up
with the historic stench of the London Underground. The pilot project
will scent subway cars on the busy East London line that carries 6
million people each year between Whitechapel and New Cross Gate,
under the Thames River and through 6.1 miles of dank tunnels nearly
150 years old. “We conducted a survey last year and people did not
appreciate the armpit atmosphere," said Ian Derbyshire, general
manager of the East London line who is overseeing the project. Small
paper packets of fragrance have been hidden behind seats on each
car. When a passenger leans back, the packet emits a whiff of apple
blossoms, roses, hyacinths, lemons, mandarins, wood or a sea breeze.

Stanford donates
old Nazi posters
Nazi poster: Depicts Soviet globalism by illustrating a
blood-dripping spider perched on top of the world.
By STEPHANIE4.EA SMITH
Staff Writer
The Hargrett Rare Book and
Manuscript Library has acquired a
unique collection of Nazi German
Propaganda posters donated by
University president emeritus
Henry King Stanford.
Thomas Camden, the Hargrett
Library director, said, “the posters
are strongly pro pagan di Stic for the
Nazi party and Nazi way of
thinking You have an immediate
reaction when you see them. They
are graphic, dramatic and visually
arresting."
Stanford, interim University
president from 1986-1987, said he
gave the gift to the Hargrett Li
brary because of his ‘warm affec
tion for UGA."
He acquired the posters in 1937
as a 20-year-old student studying
in Germany.
Camden said, “Dr. Stanford was
living with pro-Nazi students in
Germany He knew these posters
would be historically important.
He has a story behind each one.’
The posters will be added to a
collection of 520 World War I and
II pesters from the United States,
France and Germany
■These are the only ones we have
from in between the wars. They are
good for anyone doing research on
the Nazi nse to power and also
graphic design," Camden said
They are very important when
you think about what is going on in
history today.’ he said.
Stanford, who describes himself
as an “academic gypsy,’ wanted
the posters to be preserved
Tor years I carried them around
folded up," Stanford said.
Camden said. Tight will fade
color and break down fibers in the
paper Here the posters will be in
an environmentally safe atmo
sphere. stored in acid-free folders.”
The colors of the posters are vi
brant and bold. Stanford said, The
symbolism and wording of the mes
sage is very powerful."
The posters reflect many dif
ferent aspects of German life. One
calls students to the harvest to
help farmers. Another depicts So
viet globalism by illustrating a
blood-drip ping spider wearing a
Soviet helmet perched on top of the
world. Others immortalize a
German patriot and celebrate the
leaders of the National Socialist
German Workers Party.
The swastika is always shown
in motion in these posters,”
Camden said. Also, the Christian
cross is combined with an image of
an eagle to create a Nazi symbol.
Due to the size of the posters,
Camden doesn’t know if they will
ever be publicly displayed.
