KA and SAE fraternities appeal 2-quarter sentence.
Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternities appealed Friday a
summer quarter 1990 suspension and fall quarter 1990 ban on social
events handed down by the Organization Court of the Student
Judiciary April 27. The fraternities were found guilty of disorderly
conduct, alcohol misuse and violating conduct regulations governing
social functions stemming from an annual football game they
sponsored on Feb. 10 at Dudley Park. Five hundred people showed up
to watch the game. A number of the spectators were drinking alcohol
in violation of a city ordinance banning alcohol consumption at city
parks. The game wasn’t registered with Student Activities, which is
required to safeguard students and the liability of the organizations.
Judicial Programs Counselor Roger Lee said the Judicial Council,
which will hear the appeal, usually reaches a decision within two
weeks.
Athens police enforce open container ordinance.
Athens police issued one open-container citation during the Athens
Human Rights Festival this past weekend. Police issued 89 last
Saturday and Sunday at the 11th annual Twilight Classic Weekend.
There w as a noticeable absence of alcohol during the Human Rights
Festival," said Athens Police Chief Mark Wallace. “If they’d had
alcohol in open containers we would’ve cited them.” Only one officer
patrolled downtown this weekend, according to Public Information
Officer Hilda Spratlin, while four were on duty last weekend. Wallace
said the larger crowd at the Twilight Classic Weekend called for more
officers to be on duty.

ATLANTA (AP): Victim may have staged racial attack.
Law enforcement officers and Emory University officials refused
Monday to confirm or deny a broadcast report that racial slurs
scrawled on the walls and floors of a black Emory freshman’s
dormitory room resembled the student’s own handwriting. Sabrina
Collins, 19, was hospitalized for two weeks in April and became mute
after reporting the racial threats to authorities. She was released
from an Augusta hospital April 25 and returned to her home in
Hephzibah. Atlanta radio station WGST-AM reported Monday that a
handwriting analysis indicated Miss Collins orchestrated the attacks
herself, but Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Robbie
Hamrick said he could not confirm or deny the report. Hamrick said
the investigation is ongoing and he could not predict when it would be
concluded.
ATLANTA (AP): Officials check meningitis cases.
Students and others who may have come into contact with a 16-year-
old Sandy Springs student who died Sunday of meningitis were being
advised whether they should take antibiotics, school officials said.
Kristen SchafTner, a student at Fulton County’s Riverwood High
School, died of meningiococcal meningitis at Scottish Rite Children’s
Medical Center Sunday night, according to nursing supervisor Leslie
Mock. An assistant principal at the school began Sunday night
contacting parents whose children may have come into contact with
SchafTner last week.

NEW ULM, Minn. (AP): Carving thought to be Satanic.
Craig and Bonnie Dale didn’t realize what they were getting into
when they decorated the carriage house behind their new home with
a sculpture of the Greek deity Pan, god of pastures, flocks and
shepherds. The Dales thought the bearded, horned creature would
make a nice rooflop ornament for the carriage house, which they plan
to use as an art studio. But rumors soon swept the town that the
Dales were devil worshipers. The trouble culiminated with a group of
teen-agers gathered outside the home, yelling and pointing at Pan.
“It’s just bizarre," Craig Dale told The Journal of New Ulm. “People
are taking it way too seriously.” The Dales say townspeople who have
learned about their plight are spreading the word that there’s no
reason to panic.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP): Riots rock South Korea.
President Roh Tae-woo said Monday that South Korea must choose
between progress or “the road toward chaos," but dissidents and
radical students stepped up violent protests demanding his ouster.
Radicals armed with firebombs, steel pipes and rocks battled riot
police and attacked governing party offices in Seoul and several other
cities. As Roh spoke in a nationally televised address, 21 students
armed with firebombs and iron pipes charged into the Seoul
headquarters of Roh’s Liberal Democratic Party and seized a third-
floor office. Riot police overpowered the protesters with clubs and tear
gas about 10 minutes later. Witnesses said five people, including
protesters and police officers, were injured.

Polo match
By PEGGY McGOFF
Staff Writer
About 250 spectators showed up
at the Mount Vernon Farm offU.S.
78 near Athens Sunday for some
traditional tailgating and divet
stomping at a polo match to benefit
the American Heart Association.
Jeanne Westbrook, chairman of
the Heart Fund of the American
Heart Association, tossed out the
first ball to begin the game.
M I just tossed a white ball into
the center and got out of the way
very fast," she said.
The sunny, cool weather was
ideal for Sunday’s match between
the Mount Vernon team and
Cashin’s, a team captained by Jack
Cashin, also president of the
Mount Vernon Polo Club.
The match, which consisted of
six periods called chukkers, began
at 2 p.m. and finished around 4
p.m. with a 5-4 win by the Mount
Vernon team.
In polo, four players on each
team compete on a field 300 yards
by 160 yards. A plastic ball is hit
with mallets through a goal.
“Polo is a game that combines
helps American Heart Association
hockey, soccer and basketball on a
horse at 35 mph, hitting a baseball
with a stretched-out croquet
mallet," Cashin said.
Each chukker lasts seven min
utes with a four-minute break be
tween periods.
During the 15-minute halftime,
spectators converged on the field to
pack down the grass divets torn up
by the horses. Divet stomping, a
tradition at polo matches, helps
keep the field in good condition,
said Kenny Nichols, president of
the UGA Polo Club.
Members of the UGA Polo Club
and Gamma Sigma Sigma, a
service sorority, worked the gate,
helped with parking, scoring and
flagging and groomed horses to
help the AHA.
Spectators were charged by the
car and 40 percent of the proceeds
from the gate will benefit the AHA.
Barbie Frake, co-owner of the
Mount Vernon Farm, said the
exact amount of money brought in
by the match hadn’t been deter
mined as of Monday afternoon.
Sponsors of the event were
pleased with the crowd turnout.
Polo: Forty percent of proceeds go to
“We had the Human Rights Fes
tival to compete with, but people
were really responsive,” said Al
lison Dykes, treasurer of the UGA
Polo Club.
Sunday’s event was the opening
match for Mount Vernon’s second
season in operation. It was. how
ever, the first held for the AHA.
Westbrook said the Heart Fund
would like to plan future matches
with Mount Vernon Farm.
Polo matches are held every
Sunday, weather permitting, at
Mount Vernon Farm through Oc
tober.
