Coaches' income disclosure case still pending, a
dec. si on is still pending on a Georgia Supreme Court case involving
University Athletic Director Vince Dooley, basketball coaches Hugh
Durham and .Andy Landers and The Atlanta Joumal/Constitution.
The newspapers requested the release of documents detailing the
source and amount of athletic-related income earned by Dooley, then
read football coach, and the two other coaches. The coaches filed suit
to stop the release of the documents, claiming they aren’t subject to
disclosure under the Georgia Open Records Law. The newspapers

submitted to him in the case, but the coaches’ appeal stopped the
release of the documents and brought the case to the state Supreme
Court.

DALTON (AP): Vandals cause river chemical spill. A
chemical spill that contaminated a Whitfield County creek last week
and spread into two north Georgia rivers was caused by vandalism,
officials said. Arrow Engineering Co. officials said 2,500 gallons of a
detergent and wetting agent was released from a tank and ran into
Drowning Bear Creek in southeast Whitfield County on June 1.
Philip Carlson, vice president of manufacturing at the company, said
Thursday that vandaU opened a valve on the tanker after employees
had left for the day and the spill was not discovered until the
following morning. *They just ripped the valve out of it,” he said.
"When they pulled that valve out of that tanker truck it was like
pulling the stopper on a bath tub." Moses McCall, a spokesman for the
state Department of Natural Resources’ Environmental Protection
Division, said the spill poses no threat to humans, but has killed more
than 2,000 fish in the Conasauga River.
SAVANNAH (AP): Casino to set sail despite threats.
The owner of a casino-equipped cruise ship scheduled to set sail from
Wilmington Island this summer maintains that a state Supreme
Court ruling will protect it from legal action threatened by Chatham
County officials Fernando Cuquet, president of American Cruises
Inc., said a 1984 court deciaion backs up his position that the
Savannah Sun can legally offer daily, six-hour gambling cruises from
a Wilmington Island dock. But Chatham County Commission
Chairman Robert McCorkle contends the county can prosecute the
ship operators for possession of gambling paraphernalia. They better
head the ship in another direction,* McCorkle said.
DULUTH (AP): Barnard accused of conflict of interest.
U S. Rep Doug Barnard is under fire from an opponent for campaign
contributions he received from the finance industry, which he
regulates as a member of the House Banking Committee. Sam Jones,
a Republican candidate for Barnard's 10th District seat, said that of
an estimated $500,000 in contributions the Augusta Democrat has
received, nearly $300,000 haa come from the finance industry. “I
think that could be a serious conflict of interest," he said. David Bell,
Barnard’s campaign manager, said the congressman has simply
sought help from “his friends” the way Jones, a Baptist minister from
Evans, has from his former church members.
■ NATION
WASHINGTON (AP): No. 2 man at Reserve resigns.
Manuel H Johnson unexpectedly announced his resignation
Thursday from the No. 2 job at the Federal Reserve, creating a key
opening at an agency often criticited by the Bush administration for
keeping interest rates too high. Johnson, 41, said he planned to
return to an academic career. The Aug. 3 departure will give
President Bush the chance to make another appointment to the
seven-member board that directs the nation’s monetary policy. The
administration at various times in past months has been openly
critical of the Fed’s efforts to restrain inflation by keeping interest
rates high.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP): Colombia closes five consulates.
Colombia will close its 56-year-old consulate in Tampa, one of five
consulates shutting its doors at the end of June in a cost-saving move
by the stnfe-tom Latin American country, an official said. ‘The/re
cutting expenses, I guess because they need the money back there,"
said Daniel Lemaitre, 59, consul for the past five years. The consulate
opened in 1934, serving a Colombian community which today
numbers about 10,000. Other consulates to close are in Fort
Lauderdale and Philadelphia in the United States; Liverpool,
England and Marseille, France.

Unusual class leads
tour of historic homes
By STACY ROBERTSON
ContnButing Writer
History Professor Phinixy
Spalding has an unusual way of
teaching his students about his
toric preservation.
His history class, History of His
tone Preservation in the Deep
South, will lead a historic homes
tour covering parts of Grady
Avenue, Boulevard and Virginia
Avenue Saturday from 4 p.m. to 8
p.m.
Scot Burton, a senior history
major, said the tour will be un
usual because it showcases smaller
Victorian cottages, rather than
large, antebellum homes.
Spalding said he hoped the tour
would emphasize the practicality
of moving in and renovating these
small historic cottages to young
e.
e homes have many amenities
such as hardwood floors, real
plaster and ceiling mouldings that
are rarely found in modem homes,
he said.
The class project was more bene
ficial for his students than writing
papers, he said.
They leam to work together,
and they begin to see how historic
preservation works at a grassroots
level," Spalding said.
Ginger Carter, a senior history
major, said class members volun
teered for Athens Clarke Heritage
Foundation’s annual spring homes
tour to gain experience in guiding
tours.
In addition to serving as tour
guides, students must secure
homes for display, research the
homes, obtain sponsors, publicize
the event and maintain neighbor-
hood relations.
The students mailed 300 letters
asking for sponsorship throughout
the state and in surrounding areas,
Grady said.
They have about 80 sponsors for
the tour, one being as far away as
Massachusetts.
“Putting on this tour by the stu
dents is the most successful tea-
ching tool I have ever used in my
long career," Spalding said.
“It's unique because it gives us a
hands-on opportunity to really find
out what historic preservation en
tails,” said Parks Moss, a senior
history major and research
chairman.
Proceeds from the tour may be
donated to local historic preserva
tion groups according to how well
the home tour does, Spalding said.
Tour guides posted at each site
will lead guests through the indi
vidual homes and familiarize them
with the history of them.
Seven homes on Grady Avenue,
three homes on Boulevard, and one
on Virginia Avenue will be fea
tured on the the tour.
Admission is $5 for students and
children and $10 for general ad-
mission.
■ JUDICIAL REPORT
Disorderly conduct
complaints on the rise
Disorderly conduct topped the list for the period beginning May 22
at the Office of Judicial Programs. Following are the sentences and
one finding of innocence:
• Disorderly conduct — 11 cases
The first nine were damage to property offenses tried in two
separate hearings. Eight students were sentenced to 25 hours com
munity service and one to 75 hours. They all must write letters of
apology to the owner of the building and are on probated suspen
sion.
One student was ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation
conducted by University Health Services after being found guilty
of assault.
One student was found innocent of disorderly conduct in con
nection with a shouting match that was tried as infringement on
another’s rights.
• Disregard for library property — one student ripped out mag
azine pages and was stopped by the front-door security guard. The
student must pay restitution and is on probated suspension.
• Misrepresentation of records — a forged grade-change form.
The student will be on probated suspension for one year and must
write letters of apology to the victims of the deceit.
• Driving under the influence of alcohol — one student was
found guilty of hindering a police officer and sentenced to 20 hours
community service and one year probated suspension. The student
was ordered to participate in an On Campus Talking About Al
cohol program administered by University Health Services.
• Theft — one alcohol-related case. The student must write a
paper on conduct and submit it to a justice for approval next week.
A complaint has been filed against a fraternity for physical as-
sault.
