An hearing to be held Friday. A University lab technician fired
in May because he hadn’t demonstrated English fluency is
challenging a University System Board of Regents policy which
prohibits him from having legal representation at grievance hearings.
An Quoc Ngyuen, a College of Veterinary Medicine lab technician,
will appear at a hearing before the Clarke County Superior Court
Friday at 9 a.m. An, a University employee since 1984, initiated
grievance procedures to ask for reconsideration of his termination.
Regents’ policy requires that an employee speak for himself because
the grievance procedures are meant to be internal and informal, said
Public Information Director Tom Jackson.
No-smoking policy to begin in library today. Starting
today, a no-smoking policy will take effect in the main library.
William Potter, director of libraries, said he decided to ban smoking
based on a recommendation by the Student Association. Bonnie
Clemens, assistant director for public services, said the SA passed a
resolution last quarter suggesting that the library administration
ban smoking. The SA conducted a student poll last quarter on
smoking in the main library in which the ban was favored. Smoking
has been banned in the science library for several years.
Burglars strike fraternity house. Burglars broke into the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house over the weekend and took a
compact disc player, several compact discs, jewelry, a television and a
telephone/answering machine. The burglars broke several windows,
according to Athens police reports. Public Information Officer Hilda
Spratlin said fraternity and sorority house burglaries are always a
problem in the summer because the houses are either empty or have
very few residents. Police will increase patrols and watch for
suspicious people near the houses this summer, Spratlin said.
Red Cross to hold first blood drive since outbreak. The
American Red Cross will conduct the first campus blood drive since
the spring outbreak of the measles virus. The Red Cross had to cancel
five blood drives due to the outbreak, resulting in the loss of about 400
units of blood. Persons with measles and those who have had the
vaccine are deferred from donating for four weeks after the
inoculation. The drive will be held in the second floor lounge of the
College of Veterinary Medicine Tuesday from noon to 5 p.m.
University police still investigating computer thefts, a
former University student remains in Clarke County jail on charges
stemming from a string of computer thefts. Michael Richard Wilson of
190 Baxter Dr. was arrested June 12 for taking computer equipment
from three South Campus buildings spring quarter. University Police
are still investigating the case to see if Wilson is connected with a
larger series of heists, said University Police Chief Chuck Horton.
Horton said he has no reason to believe that the 22-year-old is
connected to another theft of computers from the
Joumalism/Psychology Complex or the College of Home Economics;
computer equipment valued at $25,000 was taken from the two
buildings during spring quarter. Wilson, who hasn’t posted the
$30,500 bail, will have a preliminary hearing on July 2.

Unique garden sprouts up on campus
Fish, tadpoles
to be included
By CATHY FERRIS
Staff Writer
A memorial garden unlike any
other is being built on a one-acre
plot between Hardman Hall, the
Ecology Building and the Forestry
Resources Building.
Athens landscape architect Rob
Fisher of Fisher Robinson Asso
ciates said the memorial garden
won’t be planted with conventional
pansies and mums.
Instead, the garden’s design in
cludes a large water fountain and a
pond stocked with tadpoles, fish
and other aquatic life.
“It will be a self-sustaining eco
logical garden,” Fisher said.
The garden is a memorial to
Mary Kahrs, the mother of a bene
factor to the School of Forest Re
sources, Dorothy Kahrs Wamell.
Fisher said the memorial will be
a reflection of Warnell’s love of na
ture. There will be benches around
the memorial for people who want
to relax between classes or at
lunchtime.
Campus landscape architect
Dexter Adams said most of the
wildlife in the garden will be pro
vided by the University’s Physical
Plant Department. Toe
