‘Thus it has been renamed
‘Brother-Pledge Fellowship Week/
” he said. ‘They do try to keep it
low-key so Ron Binder isn’t
showing up at your house.”
Adviser to Sororities Claudia
Shamp said the University’s
hazing policy names 13 things an
organization can’t demand of its
members, including calisthenics,
running or jogging, push-ups, sleep
deprivation, nudity, thefl of prop
erty or other illegal behavior.
“Although some people find
walking in line and dressing alike
objectionable,” she said, “it’s not
against University policy. But once
that line breaks into a run —that’s
crossing the line.”
Shamp said there’s a difference
between what members are al
lowed to do and what they are al
lowed to require other members to
do.
“It’s what you can and can’t re
quire a person to do,” she said.
“That gets into a lot of the discrimi
nations that are made.”
Shamp said the current ap
proach to pledging used by black
organizations may be “a thing of
the past” as of Sept. 1, when many
of them have indicated they will re
vamp their procedures.
*That might be kind of good,”
she said.“It’s a matter of what you
can and can’t tell a person to do —
where they’re not gaining any
thing.”
Binder said the question of
hazing is simple: “Once you tell
anybody to do any physical ac
tivity, you are totally responsible
for that individual.”
He said the eight traditionally
black Greek organizations have in
dicated they will be “getting rid of
all that stuff” that has caused
eople to question the definition of
azing.
“It’s because they’re being inun
dated with lawsuits right now,”
Binder said. “Combined, they have
$16.7 million in lawsuits pending.
“You call it a tradition, you call it
whatever you want,” he said, “but
in a court of law, they call that
guilty.”
Binder said the University’s
hazing policy contains a clause
that says hazing can occur “regard
less of the willingness of the partic
ipant.
“In all my 10 years dealing with
fraternities, I have yet to meet
anyone who said they didn’t want
to be hazed,” he said.
Binder said University conduct
regulations need to include provi
sions for prosecuting individual
hazing offenders after the organi
zation is let off the hook.
“I think we need to go after the
individuals that do the hazing,”
Binder said. “We need to be able to
go after that individual.”
Barbara Breland-Faine, a policy
specialist with the Delta Sigma
Theta national office, said the
pledge process will come up for a
vote at the sorority’s national con
vention in Miami Beach July 20-
25, and that is where changes
would be initiated.
Breland-Faine declined to com
ment on the number of hazing com
plaints the sorority has received or
the number of lawsuits pending.
A University student’s final
project in her graphic design
class not only earned an A but
also a $5,000 scholarship and na
tional recognition.
The College Football Associa
tion selected senior graphic de
sign major Kelly Parker’s entry
as its new logo. Parker’s design
was one of several hundred en
tries in a national contest to so
licit the CFA’s new logo, said
CFA spokesperson Karen Foley.
The new logo will be used on
television during football tele
casts, on CFA-licensed clothing
and on the association’s letter
head, Foley said. The contest was
open to students from CFA-
member schools.
The CFA represents 66 col
leges nationally including the
Southeastern Conference, At
lantic Coast Conference, the Big
Eight and the Southwestern Ath
letic Conference.
Parker will use the scholarship
to attend the Cleveland Institute
of Art in Florence, Italy. “I was
thrilled to death,” she said. “I
mean, this is a national logo. By
the time they notified me I had
almost forgotten about the con
test.”
Parker’s logo, which uses the
CFA letters and a goal post over a
football, will replace the old logo
of the letters “CFA” slanted and
superimposed over a football.
Parker originally designed the
logo as a project in a graphic de
sign class. Her art professor, Ron
Arnholm, entered it in the CFA’s
contest.
Parker’s class was working on
ideas for the contest and only had
about a week to complete the pro
ject. The logo design took long
hours in a short period of days,
but she said it was worth the ef
fort.
“I did a million sketches for it,”
Parker said. “We only had a week
so I put all my time into it."

Cobb County road tax gets big PR
The Associated Press
MARIETTA, Ga. — Supporters
of a special sales tax for road im
provements in Cobb County are
hoping an early start in public rela
tions will push the proposal
through a November referendum.
The proposed tax, defeated by a
112-vote margin 14 months ago, is
mentioned at virtually every public
function. A group of business
people has pledged $150,000 to
promote the program. A telephone
poll of voter opinion will begin later
this month, and yard signs and
mailers are expected by the end of
the summer.
Opposition to the plan comes
from people who say that a special
1 percent sales tax approved over
whelmingly 1985 has brought
about only some of the road im
provements promised.
That tax raised about $201 mil
lion. An additional $26 million was
collected in interest income and the
state contributed about $104 mil
lion in construction work, said
county transportation director
Douglas W. Wiersig.
Figures released in March show
that only $120 million of the tax
money had been spent, leaving
$113 million in the bank, awaiting
construction starts. Nineteen pro
jects have been put on hold because
the county underestimated the cost
of acquiring rights of way by $40
million. So far, 62 projects have
been completed and 55 more are in
the works.
This year’s proposed tax would
raise far less revenue than the
1985 measure because a new state
law will exempt some food from
sales taxation. Wiersig estimates
that less than $150 million would
come in over four years.
