Male and female abduct and rape University visitor, a
female University visitor told University police that she was
abducted from the corner of Thomas and Baldwin streets about 2:45
a m. Sunday, and taken to a part of Whitehall Forest where she was
raped. She described her abductors as a white male and a white
female. University police Lt. Lisa Boone said the victim was between
18 and 22 years old and was visiting a student at the University. Maj.
Connie Sampson said, “It’s being investigated...if we had any idea
who (the abductors) are they’d be down here right now."
Summer Orientation Leaders are ‘well-rounded.’
Throughout the summer, about 4,200 new students will come to the
University for orientation into campus life, and 10 students have
been chosen to help ease this transition. The 1990 Summer
Orientation Leaders are Seniors Everett Patrick, Molly Myddleton,
Salma Hovey, Lane Kopelon, Craig Smith, Caroline Frye, Carrie
Dieterle, Vin Moscardelli, Bill Hewitt, and junior ShaJra Johnson.
More than 90 students applied for the 10 positions. Selections were
based on interviews, grades and campus involvement, said Eileen
Canty, an admissions counselor who oversees the selection process.
“We look for well-rounded students, with good grades as well as
outside activities, to try and present a broad spectrum of the
University of Georgia," Canty said.

SAVANNAH (AP): Student dies after falling from roof. A
19-year-old Savannah College of Art and Design student who fell
from the roof of a three-story building last week died Sunday at
Memorial Medical Center. Bernadette Garvey of Burlington, N.C.,
had been in critical condition in the hospital’s neurological intensive
care unit since the 50-foot fall Wednesday from the roof of the former
Emerald Room Lounge building, across the street from her dormitory.
Police said Miss Garvey had been on the roof of the vacant building
with two other students, drinking and celebrating the end of the
college term, when she fell accidentally. The building is boarded up,
but police said it was not the first time college students had gotten on
the roof.

WASHINGTON (AP): Death row convict again in court.
The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear another appeal by
Warren McCleskey, the convicted Georgia murderer wnose appeal in
1987 led the court to rule the death penalty may be valid even if
carried out in racially biased ways. The high court said it will review
a ruling that McCleskey waited too long before mounting his latest
federal court challenge to his state conviction. In that challenge, he is
seeking to attack the use of incriminating remarks he made to a
police informant as evidence against him. McCleskey was convicted of
gunning down Atlanta policeman Frank Schlatt during a furniture
store robbery in 1978. In the 1987 ruling, the Supreme Court rejected
McCleskey’s earlier appeal and upheld Georgia’s death penalty
system on a 5-4 vote, despite statistical evidence that killers of white
people are far more likely to be condemned to death in Georgia than
those who kill blacks.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP): Stuffed toy kills rare white tiger.The
death of a rare wmite Bengal tiger was caused by a stuffed toy that it
swallowed weeks ago, officials said. The 2-year-old male tiger named
Mwelu drowned Sunday while apparently suffering severe stomach
pains. Visitors noticed the tiger struggling in a pool before it sank,
said David Conrod, a spokesman for Busch Gardens theme park. The
remains of a small stuffed animal were found in the tiger’s upper
intestines, said Dr. John Olsen, chief veterinarian. Since the tiger
apparently ate the toy three to six weeks ago, two gallstones had
formed around it, further blocking digestion and creating what must
have been painful stomach attacks, Olsen said. “We ask that visitors
not feed the animals or put things in the displays, but sometimes it
happens,” Conrod said. The tiger was one of about 140 white Bengals
left in the world, all of them in captivity.
GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP): Decoy used to nab poachers.
Officer Buck has been shot six times in the line of duty, which doesn’t
bother his fellow officers a bit. Officer Buck is a lh-year-old decoy
deer placed along roads to help wardens nab people who illegally hunt
from the highway. “He’s saved a lot of deer, said Dale Sleasman, a
state game official. “You’d be surprised how many guys came up to us
and said, 'Vie saw your decoy, but we didn’t shoot it.’ The decoy wasn’t
even there.” Aaron Stiffey Sr., 46, of Bolivar, and James Wagner Jr.,
31, of New Florence, recently were convicted of shooting Officer Buck
from a road in rural Westmoreland County, just east of Pittsburgh.
Their attorney is appealing their convictions, saying the fake deer is
used to entrap people. ‘That’s the only reason that deer was there —
to entice someone to shoot at it,” said lawyer Richard Pohl. “This five-
point rack is a neon sign saying, ‘Come shoot me.”

BEIJING (AP): Police stifle Tiananmen commerations.
Police with rifles blocked roads to Beijing’s university area Monday
and heavy security elsewhere in the city stifled dissent on the first
anniversary of the bloody demise of China’s democracy movement. All
gates to Beijing University, a center of last year’s political activism,
were locked at 8 p.m. The public was barred from Tiananmen Square,
the center of the protests, for the fourth day. The few individuals who
tried to protest the military crackdown were quickly arrested. Police
set up roadblocks near universities in northwest Beijing on Monday
night and would not allow foreign journalists to pass. One Western
reporter saw three truckloads of riot police, armed with shields and
rifles, entering the university area.
MAPUTO, Mozambique (AP): Sinking leaves 31 dead.
An overcrowded boat sank off the northern coast of Mozambique, and
at least 31 people died, the AIM news agency reported Monday.
Thirty people were known to have survived when the boat sank
Saturday in the Bay of Pemba, AIM said. Maritime officials were still
searching for survivors but did not know how many people were
aboard the boat. The boat was carrying more than double its capacity
at the time of the disaster.

Paw Prince brings new T-shirts to town
By ERIK SCHMIDT
Contributing Writer
There’s a new kid on the block by
the name of Paw Prince in the T-
shirt design world.
The proud owner of the blos
soming enterprise is Jim Wells, a
senior graphic design major.
“It’s something I really enjoy
doing," Wells said. “I meet a lot of
nice people."
The business started in mid-
April, but Wells’ creative
entrepreneurship dates back to his
T-shirt design for a local fun run in
Dun woody when he was nine years
old.
He eventually attended Texas
Christian University, where he re
designed the school’s harmless
looking homed-frog mascot to look
more like a fierce dragon. He ar
rived in Athens in 1985, where he
found the University’s graphic de
sign classes to be more satisfac
tory.
Paw Prince is primarily a T-
shirt design company, he said, but
some advertising design and illus
tration are also involved. Wells is
currently working on an advertise
ment for McDonald’s to appear in
the 1990 Georgia football brochure.
Although the company is barely
nee has al-
npai
a month old, Paw Pri
ready landed such big-name cli
entele as Athletic Attic and
Georgia Southern University. The
latter ordered championship T-
shirts, said Lane Andrews, a Paw
Prince employee.
Andrews, a senior graphic de
sign major, said it takes a long
time to come up with a shirt de
sign. “It’s not a one-day process,"
he said. “We come up with 50 dif
ferent ideas for one shirt.
“Jim is the illustrator and car
toonist of the company, while I’m
more of a typographer and calligra
pher. We work well together,” he
said.
As for marketing the shirts,
Wells said the company subcon
tracts marketers and sellers. The
marketers go out with samples of
the company’s work in sketchbooks
and try to get contracts, he said.
Connie Page, a senior marketing
major, recently proved the success
of this method by landing the con
tract with Athletic Attic for Paw
Prince. ...
Wells hopes the business will
eventually land several large con
tracts with major clients who will
continually re-order products.
As for now, the company is doing
‘ th Well
