An Atlanta dairy is recalling 420 gallons of milk marked for Georgia
and Florida delivery after traces of an antibiotic used to treat sick
ows were found in samples of skim and half-and-half milk. The recall
y Mathis Dairy affects about 400 gallons of skim milk and 20 gallons

mangem.c-.ts for a refund. Sullivan said the antibiotic is not harmful

ATLANTA (AP): DHR revokes church home’s license.
The United Methodist-run home for emotionally disturbed children
c:ted by the Department of Human Resources for several violations
has received its license renewal. Jo C. Cato, director of the Child Care
Licensing Division of DHR, said state officials will continue
monitoring Murphy-Harpst to “make sure they are in fact doing what
they said they would do.” The home had been cited for violations
including insufficient record keeping and overmedicating children.
“Our agency has been scrutinized and investigated in far greater
depth than most agencies go through,” said the Rev. John R. Steiner,
president of Murphy-Harpst Home.
WASHINGTON (AP): Americans want penny kept. A
recent Gallup Poll released revealed that nearly two out of three
Americans want to keep the penny as a House Banking subcommittee
considered a bill to round off cash transactions to nearest the 5-cent
iece on Wednesday. The proposal would keep pennies as legal tender
“to a maximum of 25 cents, only if used in quantities divisible by 5
without fraction or remainder,” meaning pennies can be used only in
groups of five and no more than 25 at one time. 62 percent of the
Americans surveyed are oppossed to the proposal. Seventy-seven
percent said they are worried that merchants will raise prices to
compensate for losses due to rounding.

NEURUPPIN, E. Germany (AP): Germans protest base.
Residents of this village are tired of the screeching and thundering
from the Soviet military air base in their midst, and they are waging a
lively campaign to get it closed. A Soviet warplane that accidentally
dropped three bombs on a neighboring village has added new fuel to
the 2Ka-year-old campaign, which has gone public since the fall of
East Germany’s Communist regime. Thousands of demonstrators
converged at the airfield this week, and a protest letter to Soviet
President Mikhail S. Gorbachev will soon be on its way. “We think it’s
shocking that despite huge political changes, war is still being waged
over our town,” said Pastor Heinz Joachim Karau, who organized
Monday’s protest of between 5,000 and 8,000 residents — estimates
vary. More than 7,200 people have signed a petition demanding
closure of the base in Neuruppin, home to 22,000 people and about an
hour’s drive northwest of Berlin.

SA seeks to improve racial sensitivity
By DARA McUOO
Staff Wnter
The Student Association passed
a proposal Tuesday to encourage
the improvement of racial sensiti
vity on campus and to encourage
other campus groups to do the
same.
SA President Heath Garrett told
SA he sees the recent increase in
radal incidents as an indication of
heightened racial insensitivity
that shouldn't be taken lightly.

gather near the homes are respon

Singapore
These things are cropping up
everywhere on campus," Bussey
said. “Students do want SA to take
a stand on this and I think it would
be beneficial to work together on
this"
Senior Sen. Erica Tiggler, the
author of the proposal, said SA
turbances in the homes.
While most of the residents of
the homes don’t cause problems,
there are others who gather in the
area who do cause trouble.
Foster said poor lighting on Hoyt
Street and the number of trees and
shrubs around Bethlehem Homes,
make it easy for thieves to quickly
break a car window and take items
from the car.
These are cheap lights; they’re
dim and they make a worse
shadow more than anything else,”
Foster said.
“And the bad thing is that all
these college kids come down here
and they’re in a hurry to get to the
bar,” he said. “Mainly girls get out

this issue before the situation gets
out of hand.
“We need to let other campus or
ganizations know we’re behind
their efforts,” she said.
In other business SA approved a
recommendation to University
President Charles Knapp re
questing the addition of a second
escort van.
In its request to Knapp, SA cited
the large number of students using
the van and a large number of com-
plaints received from students
who’ve had to wait 20 to 30 min
utes for the van to arrive.
and they’ll open their purse, get
out a couple of dollars and then
they’ll leave their purse lying open
on a seat.
Allen Crenshaw, a bartender at
The Flying Buffalo, said people
need to be wary of leaving their
cars on Hoyt Street or near the
bars overnight.
During spring break, Crenshaw
had his own car broken into when
he left it parked for several days in
front of The Flying Buffalo.
Foster said that if students
would secure their valuables by
putting them in the trunk of their
cars, park their cars closer to the
bars and not leave them overnight
they wouldn’t get broken into as
University police estimate the
annual cost of running two vans at
$16,026. Funding would come from
the University’s transportation
budget.
The escort van program was im
plemented fall quarter and has
been one of SA’s most successful
projects.
Applications for the vacant ju
nior senator positions are due
