Student Association to hold forum on racial incidents.
The Student Association will discuss the racial incidents that have
occurred recently on campus at its 7:30 p.m. meeting today at Phi
Kappa Hall. The SA will also discuss last week’s Vote ’90 voter
registration drive and hear reports from the Academic Affairs,
Student Life and Internal Affairs committees. An open forum to allow
students to voice their opinions will be held at the beginning of the
meeting.
Trojan claims that 4 out of 5 students use condoms.
Results released by the maker of Trojan brand condoms showed four
out of five university students use condoms. Carter-Wall ace Inc.
conducted the survey among 6,000 students on 16 campuses
nationwide. Results at the University were similar to responses from
other colleges, but University students were found more likely to use
condoms — 78 percent compared to 67 nationally —and are more
concerned about Acquired Immune Defiency Syndrome — 58 percent
compared to 48 percent nationally. Mark Klein, vice-president of
marketing at Carter Products, said the results aren’t surprising since
44 percent of University students surveyed said they knew of
someone with a sexually transmitted disease. Carter Products
markets Trojan brand condoms, which are the number one selling
condom brand in the United States.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (API: Club accused of segregation.
The woman whose whites-only singles club helped spurlegislation
banning discrimination in public places in South Carolina has no
plans to admit blacks and Delieves the new law does not affect her.
Last fall, Lib Reece’s Elite Singles Club denied admittance to state
Rep. Ennis Fant, D-Greenville, and a female companion, both of
whom are black. The policy spurred Fant to file complaints with state
agencies and broker a public accommodations law passed by the
General Assembly in April. The state law bars discrimination in
restaurants, hotels and other public places on the basis of race, color,
religion or national origin, but it covers only private clubs that sell
memberships for 30 days or less. Because Elite Singles sells annual
memberships, it will not be affected by the new law, Reece said.
HAZLEHURST (AP): Body found after 3-day search.
Stunned seniors at Jeff Davis High School were notified Monday that
the body of classmate Rhonda Sue Coleman, who was to graduate
with them in nine days, had been positively identified by police. A
man strolling through the woods in Montgomery County found the
body of the 18-year-old student Sunday afternoon, about three miles
from the Jeff Davis County line. Coleman was last seen at a
convenience store Thursday between 10 and 10:30 p.m. after working
on graduation decorations with friends at the home of one of her
classmates. A search was launched after one of Coleman’s classmates
found the young woman’s car later Thursday night on a dirt road
about a mile west of Hazlehurst. The car lights were on and the motor
was still running. A car door was open and Coleman’s purse was still
inside, authorities said.
TOCCOA (AP): Severe storms across state kill one.
More heavy thunderstorms moved into the state Monday night, a day
after storms with high winds knocked down power lines and trees,
killing one man. Dennis Harrison, 50, of Toccoa died Sunday
afternoon when a tree crashed through his house and fell across his
chest, crushing him, said Toccoa police Sgt. Gene Sorrels, deputy
county coroner. Tornadoes, heavy rain and high winds were reported
in several Southern states as the front, which stretched from
Kentucky through Arkansas into Texas, passed through them
Monday morning. Authorities said the winds up to 50 mph knocked
out power to hundreds of people in the Toccoa and Cornelia areas and
as many as 3,000 in the Atlanta area.

WASHINGTON (AP): Acne drug may prevent tumors.
The widely used acne drug Accutane appears to signficantly block the
growth of new tumors in people being treated for smoking-related
cancer of the mouth and throat, according to a study released
Monday. The new research suggests that Accutane, an artificial form
of vitamin A, can prevent the development of these second tumors,
perhaps by halting the progression of smoking-related injury to the
body. Cancers of the head, neck, esophagus and lungs account for
almost one-third of the 510,000 cancer deaths expected in the United
States this year. Patients who took high doses of Accutane suffered
unpleasant side effects, including dry skin, chapped lips and eye
inflammation.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP): Drug war reaches Maine. A
Maine drug enforcement agency was hailed as a model for the nation
at a U.S. Senate hearing Monday in which speakers also emphasized
the need for stronger education and rehabilitation programs to wean
Americans away from illegal drugs. Much of the testimony focused on
the accomplishments of the Bureau of Intergovernmental Drug
Enforcement, an agency created by the Maine Legislature three years
ago to coordinate federal, state and local drug enforcement efforts in
Maine. Public Safety Commisioner John Atwood said the success of
BIDE’s approach is reflected in a sharp increase in drug arrests,
which for 1990 are projected to be four times the number made in
1987. However, officials acknowledged that the growing number of
arrests has caused severe overcrowding in the state’s prison system.
■ WORLD
MOSCOW (AP): President Gorbachev gets a pay raise.
President Mikhail S. Gorbachev’s popularity may not be soaring at
home, but the official Tass news agency said Monday he is in line for a
hefty pay raise. Tass said the Soviet legislature had set Gorbachev’s
monthly pay at 4,000 rubles — $6,480 — more than twice what he is
currently reported to be earning. The news agency also said
lawmakers decided to make presidential perks part of the public
record, replacing traditional “secret instructions” regarding their
leaders’ compensation. A magazine editor last year disclosed that the
Soviet leader’s monthly salary was 1,500 rubles — $2,430 — about
seven times the pay of a typical Soviet worker.

Food Services wins
top national award
Other theme dinners Food Serv
ices has sponsored include Western
Night, Birthday Cake Night and a
Mother's Day sampler of dishes
culled from the recipe books of stu
dents’ mothers.
Floyd said that in order to enter
the contest, they had to submit a
notebook of photographs and a
300-word essay explaining the
events.
There are five other award cat
egories — divided among small,
medium and large operations —
which recognize standard menu ex
cellence and special presentations
in cash and catering operations.
Jane Alexander, a NACUFS ad
ministrative assistant, said Food
Services will compete against me
dium- and small-school winners in
the two categories for an overall
grand prize in the 17th Annual
NACUFS Dining Awards at the na
tional conference in July.
Dee Hardy, chairperson of the
10-person judging committee, said
there were 120 entries overall.
There were 51 entries in the sp«.
cial event category, 25 of them
from large operations.
Seven of the judges are NA*
CUFS members, the other three
being food service professionals.
Each entry was reviewed by three
judges who had five minutes to ex
amine each notebook and one
minute to make comments.
The judges looked for things like
variety, food presentation and
overall excellence. Hardy said
some of the entries lost simply be-
cause the food was poorly photo
graphed.
Hardv said Russian cuisine is an
unusual choice for a theme dinner,
but Food Services handled it well.
‘There weren’t a lot of Russian
dinners,” she said. ‘They took a dif
ficult cuisine to present and did it
well. They covered all the criteria."
Hardy said that although com

University Food Services is now
someplace in the heavens — figura
tively speaking — and they were
put there by their peers.
“We’re on cloud nine now," said
J. Michael Flovd, Food Services de
partment head. “We’ve been recog
nized by our fellow food services.
‘To be recognized by your peers
can tear you apart."
What’s tearing Floyd apart is
winning two national food service
awards this year, one of them for
an unprecedented second time in a
row.
Both are first-place awards. The
Residence Hall Dining Standard
Menu award for the large opera
tion category is given for general
excellence of standard menu offer
ings. Food Services also won this
award last year.
“It’s almost unheard of to win
twice in a row,” Floyd said.

Out of more than 300 out
standing applicants, 11 upcoming
freshmen were selected to receive
Foundation Fellowships, the
highest recognition given to
freshmen by University trustees.
The fellowships award $5,500 a
year for four years to cover books,
in-state tuition fees and room and
board. Students must maintain a
3.25 grade point average while re
ceiving the scholarship.
“Academically, this is one of the
brightest and most talented groups
we’ve ever assembled,” said Pro
gram Coordinator Peter Jor
gensen. “We expect these students
will go on to reach the top of their
chosen careers.”
According to Jorgensen, Founda
tion Fellows are chosen on the
basis of high school grades, Schol
astic Aptitude Test scores, lead
ership abilities and any other
distinguishing characteristics.
For some of the recipients, re
success to the variety of options the
dining halls offer on a daily basis.
Floyd gave as examples the
pasta, Mexican, hot sandwich, ice
cream and large salad bars, as well
as the deli, vegetarian and light
cuisine lines.
A first place award for Special
Event Theme Dinner in the large
operation category also went to
Food Services for “Russian Night,”
held April 12. The event featured
Russian decor, authentic Russian
dishes like caviar and Food Serv
ices personnel dressed in Russian
costumes.
The awards consist of a plaque
and ribbons given by the National
Association of College & University
Food Services, a professional orga
nization headquartered at Mich
igan State University in East
Lansing, Mich. University Food
Services is a member.
NACUFS members can be found
in all 50 states as well as China,
Australia, the Virgin Islands and
Puerto Rico.

ceiving the scholarship made the
decison of coming to the University
much easier.
Wheeler High School senior
Julie Steiner of Marietta originally
favored the Georgia Institute of
Technology, Emory University,
Furman University, Vanderbilt
University and the University of Il
linois over the University’s Honors
Program because she plans to
mtyor in chemistry. However, she
said she chose the University be
cause it was her state school and it
offered a lot of variety through size.
“The other schools offered
smaller scholarships and I was
afraid that smaller schools like
Furman might be too one-sided,”
she said.
Because Eric Overby of Calhoun
High School was originally chosen
as a Foundation Fellows alternate,
he said he decided to send his ac
ceptance deposit to Southern
Methodist University.
“I wanted to go to UGA all along.
So, when I found out I got the
scholarship, I called them (SMU)
awarded to
and told them to tear the check
up,” he said.
Jennifer Rubin, who plans to
mfyor in history and English and
hopes to attend law school, said she
didn’t even wait to hear from Duke
University once she received the
fellowship. However, Madison
County High School senior Steven
Bullock said never seriously con
sidered any other school.
The students also agreed that
being a Foundation Fellow has
many benefits besides the mone
tary ones.
“I’ll be in a good position to meet
the University’s president and
other political figures. So, 111 be
able to gain experiences here that I
wouldn’t have without the schol
arship. That’s almost better than
the money," Steiner said.
The Foundation Fellowship also
provides opportunities to study
abroad through travel-study
grants of up to $1,000.
Rubin hopes to be an exchange
student to France, while Anne
freshmen
Kissel of Clarke Central High
School, who plans to be a music
performance major, wants to study
in Vienna, Italy.
“I’d love the opportunity to study
other places and experience other
cultures. Those are opportunities I
wouldn’t hove without the schol
arship,” Kissel said.
Jorgensen said Foundation Fel
lows also participate in bi-quar
terly enrichment programs such as
dinner seminars with faculty mem
bers and movie evenings where
students see films of artistic or in
tellectual merit.
Other upcoming Foundation Fel
lows include Trade Calvert of
Crisp County High School in Cor-
dele, Laura Sheppard of LaGrange
High School, Katherine Smith of
Woodward Academy in Griflin,
Paul Jones and Christy Darden of
Marietta High School and Pamela
Hungerbuhler of George Walton
Comprehensive High School in
Marietta.
