Mr. Esquire’ contest aids sickle cell anemia research.
Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority is sponsoring it’s annual fundraiser, the
Mr. Esquire Contest, this week at the Tate Student Center. AKA
member Monique Holloman said the sorority nominated 10 of the
“hottest men” on campus for the award. In order to vote, students
must make a small donation to the Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation. A
poster display of the men will be at the Tate Center today from 11
a.m. to 2 p m. and Thursday and Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. in Creswell
Hall.
City of Athens will recycle old automobile tags.
Beginning Wednesday, the Athens City Solid Waste Department will
pick up old automobile tags for recycling at residences within the city
limits. The pick-ups will run every Wednesday in May, said Svea
Bogue, administrative assistant for the Athens/Clarke County Clean
and Beautiful Commission. Residents should put old tags on top of
newspapers they place on the curb for recycling, she said. The city's
Solid Waste Department is currently picking up old newspapers for
recycling.
Athens resident arrested in women’s locker room.
William David Blackmon, a 22-year-old Athens resident, was charged
as a peeping tom after he entered the female locker room of the
physical education building at 12:10 p.m. Wednesday, according to
University police reports. Jim Armstrong, the arresting officer, said
Blackmon was wearing a dress, a wig and women’s boots when he
entered the locker room. “I saw him come from the swimming pool
area and I said there’s no way that’s a female,” he said. “ I don’t know
what he was doing; it appeured he was just going to look at females at
tbe time.”

DECATUR (AP): DeKalb implements waiting period.
DeKalb County officials decided Tuesday to establish a 15-day
waiting period for gun purchases after hearing a plea from the widow
of a man slain in a sh(x>ting rampage at Perimeter Mall. The countv
commission, which passed the measure on a 4-2 vote, did not specify
when the 15-day “cooling off period” would begin or how it would be
enforced. DeKalb Public Safety Director Tom Brown said gun dealers
would be notified of the regulations starting within a week. The
commission’s action came exactly two weeks after James Calvin
Brady opened fire in the food court of the mall in DeKalb County
north of Atlanta killing Michael Greg Musick, 24, of Norcross and
wounding four others. In the wake of the mall shooting, Atlanta
Mayor Maynard Jackson called on all local governments in the metro
area to match the waiting period required in Fulton County.
ATLANTA (AP): Abortion controversial In 4th District.
U.S. Rep. Ben Jones has declared himself an abortion rights
advocate, saying he doesn’t want the country to return to the days of
illegal abortions that amount to “back-alley butchering.” His
announcement drew immediate criticism from his opponent in the
4th District congressional race. Jones made his declaration Monday
in a welcoming address to the National Abortion Federation’s
convention in Atlanta.
DECATUR (AP): State-assisted suicide’ appealed. The
execution of Larry Grant Lonchar, who has said he wants to die for
the murders of three DeKalb County residents, was rescheduled
Tuesday for May 18 at 7 p.m. The new execution date and time were
set by the state Department of Corrections after DeKalb County
Superior Court Judge Robert Castellani signed an order allowing the
execution to be carried out between noon May 18 and noon May 25.
Lonchar had been scheduled to die in March, but the Georgia
Supreme Court granted a stay so the condemned man’s sister,
Christina Kellogg, and anti-death penalty groups could appeal a
Butts County judge’s ruling that Lonchar was competent to give up
his appeals. Kellogg claims that her brother is mentally ill and is
seeking a state-assisted suicide.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP): Filmaker wants appreciation.
Actor and filmmaker Robby Benson says he’ll give up his teaching job
at the University of South Carolina if the community doesn’t
appreciate his efforts. Criticism of Benson’s $63,630 annual salary
and his use of USC students to film the movie “Modern Love”
surfaced about the time of reports on school President James B.
Holderman’s lavish spending habits during the last lYs years at the
school. “If people think that I’m doing a disservice rather than a
service here, then definitely I want to take the effort — because it’s a
sincere effort — elsewhere," said Benson, who has been artist-in
residence at the school’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences
since 1988.
BONN, W. Germany (AP): No delays for unification.
Chancellor Helmut Kohl on Tuesday firmly rejected Moscow’s
suggestion that settling the military complexities of a united
Germany could be delayed until after the countries are merged. “It
would be a fatal development if the external and internal conditions
of German unity were not completely clear when the day of German
unity comes," Kohl told reporters. The chancellor was referring to a
suggestion by Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze that
formal German unity could occur before “external” aspects of the
merger are cleared up. Such “external” aspects would include those
issues such as the military stance of a united Germany.

Students get hands-on experience with cows
By SANDRA STEPHENS
Staff Writer
Some dairy science majors are
getting hands-on experience with
cows and are learning skills text
books and films can’t provide.
Ten University students pre
sented Holstein cows, all from the
University dairy herd and little
more than a year old, in the annual
Spring Dairy Sale student show
April 26 in the UGA Coliseum
arena.
For four weeks, the students
were responsible for grooming and
bathing of the bovines. The stu
dents also taught the cows obedi
ence, said Larry Varnadoe,
educational program specialist in
the department of dairy and an
imal science.
After the cows were assigned
randomly to students, the students
went to the University dairy farm
on U.S. 78 and removed them from
the herd.
The employees at the dairy farm
were responsible for feeding the
cows during the contest.
Varnadoe said when the cows
were brought to the Coliseum for
the contest, the students were re
sponsible for feeding them and
keeping the areas clean.
Amy Atwood, a sophomore dairy
science major and grand champion
as first-place winner, said the com
petition is a part of the Dairy Sci
ence 326 class which meets twice a
week at the dairy farm.
She said the competition is open
to all student* and teaches stu
dents how to manage time wisely.
Atwood said the holstein she
presented in the show was very
wild at first.
“You learn how to work with
something that can’t talk to you,”
she said.
Atwood will continue working
with animals this summer in an in
ternship with the Dairy Research
Center in New York.
She plans to compete in the
Eastern Invitational Snow and the
Empire State Fair in Syracuse,
N.Y., this summer.
“You learn something different
with every animal you work with,”
she said.
Lee Webb, a senior animal sci
ence/pre-vet major who won the
title of reserve grand champion as
second place winner, said he
started working with animals in
the 4-H judging program.
Webb attended the North
America Stock Exposition in Louis
ville, Ky., with the Carroll County
Dairy Team his sophomore year in
high school.
“I enjoy working with kids and I
like working with animals,” he
said.
Webb said that clipping the an
imal is one of the hardest things to
do.
“It’s like trying to give yourself a
haircut,” Webb said.
He said all the cows in the Uni
versity dairy herd are holsteins
which have a mature weight of 1,*
400 pounds.
Eawina Keen, a junior animal
science major, said she used class
time to work with the holsteins at
the dairy farm.
Keen, who had never worked
with a cow before, said at first it
was difficult to work with the cows
because they wouldn’t walk.
“It (the competition) teaches you
how to control animals, patience
and responsibility, she said.
The competition was judged by
Nelson Maddux, a former em
ployee with the University’s Dairy
Science Cooperative Extension
Service.
The show was sponsored by the
Agriculture Commodities Commis
sion for Milk and the Georgia Ex
tension of Dairy Science.
