Law school representatives to hold forum in Atlanta.
University students interested in applying to law school will have the
opportunity to meet with more than 100 representatives from law
schools across the country in Atlanta today and Saturday at the
Radisson Hotel. The forum is sponsored by the Law School Admission
Council, an association of law schools in the United States and
Canada. Four schools from Georgia will attend: University of
Georgia, Emory University, Georgia State University and Mercer
University. Judith Lewis, a pre-law advisor, said the forum will
provide students an opportunity to meet with representatives and
watch video tapes on the application process ana financial aid. The
forum is free to all graduate students. Lewis said the University has
over 600 pre-law students. “I encourage all students to go to this,” she
said “It’s the perfect opportunity to meet with these representatives
face-to-face.”
Figter plane crashes near Savannah, valdosta <apj
— An F-16 fighter jet with one person aboard crashed Wednesday
night on the Georgia-South Carolina border about 30 miles north of
Savannah, Moody Air Force Base spokeswoman Dee Tait said. It was
not immediately known if the pilot survived the crash. Ms. Tait said
the jet was on a routine training flight out of Moody AFB when it
experienced trouble and went down about 8:30 p.m. The F-16 went
down in an area known as Miller’s Lake in Screven County near the
South Carolina border, she said.

Anti-abortion policy upheld in court, new york <ap) — A
federal appeals court Wednesday upheld a Bush administration
policy prohibiting federal funding of foreign family planning agencies
that perform abortions. The challenge was brought by the Planned
Parenthood Federation of America, which asserted the policy was an
unconstitutional violation of its First Amendment right to advocate
abortion. The organization also said the policy interferes with the
privacy rights of people seeking abortion information. However, the
ruling by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the anti-abortion
policy of the U.S. Agency for International Development was legal
and didn’t restrict how Planned Parenthood spends money it receives
outside federal grants. The appeals court upheld a March ruling by
U.S. District Judge John Walker who found that the president has
the authority to impose such a policy affecting private organizations
overseas.
Bribery charges against dead man dropped, omaha,
Neb. (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service is dropping a bribery
charge against a dead man and is asking that his $ 110,000 bail be
turned over to his estate. But it’s still seeking back taxes from him.
The IRS had questioned whether Ehsanolla Motaghed had actually
died and said it was considering digging up his grave for proof. But a
court document filed in August indicated the government had
dropped exhumation plans. At a hearing Tuesday, attorneys for both
sides told a magistrate they agreed to dismiss a charge that
Motaghed paid a $4,000 bribe to an IRS agent.
Two tow trucks free stuck elephant.PORTLAND, Ore (AP)
— What do you do when an elephant gets stuck? Call a tow truck. In
fact, call two tow trucks. That’s what officials at the Washington Park
Zoo did Wednesday when Tamba, a 7,000-pound pachyderm, was
trapped for more than three hours in the dry moat that surrounds the
zoo’s elephant compound. “Evidently she got pushed in by amother
elephant,” zoo spokeswoman Jane Hartline said. The moat is about 8
feet deep and is designed to allow elephants who slip into it to walk to
a gate at the end of it. But 19-year-old Tamba has an arthritic leg and
couldn’t move. Officials attached air bags to Tamba’s midsection, then
connected them to cables that were hoisted by two tow trucks. After
considerable effort, Tamba was pulled to her feet and she walked,
slowly at first, then quickly, to the elephant house, squealing as she
moved. She was a little stiff but otherwise unhurt.
■ WORLD
Rival factions agree to truce. Jerusalem (AP) — Two rival
Palestinian factions, the PLO’s Fatah and the Moslem
fundamentalist Hamas movement, announced Wednesday they have
ended their feud and will coordinate efforts in fighting the Israelis.
The agreement, announced in a leaflet circulated in Jerusalem, came
10 days after supporters of the two factions clashed on the streets of
the Tulkarem refugee camp. At least 20 people were injured in the
battles. The fighting at Tulkarem began when supporters of Fatah,
the mainstream group of the Palestine Liberation Organization,
reportedly blocked a Hamas preacher from speaking at a local
mosque. The leaflet distributed by the Fatah and Hamas factions
called on supporters to end their rivalry and improve relations. “We
believe that national unity is the way to victory,” the leaflet said.
Russian parliament urges prime minister to resign.
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s parliament Wednesday joined the
growing calls for Soviet Prime Minister Nikolai I. Ryzhkov to resign,
blaming him for the nation’s economic crisis and saying his reform
plan cannot rescue it. “The people are living worse each year,” said
Ilya Konstantinov, a lawmaker from Leningrad. “It’s obvious that the
Ryzhkov government could not and cannot correct the problem," he
said. The Russian Supreme Soviet, or parliament, voted 154-4, with
18 abstentions to call for the resignation of the national Cabinet led
by Ryzhkov. As prime minister, he heads the Soviet government
bureaucracy that many accuse of impeding reforms.

Trees may grow funds
By LANCE HELMS
Staff Writer
Time is running out for local ad
vocates who want a comprehensive
tree ordinance in place before the
unification of Athens and Clarke
County governments.
At stake is nearly $35 million in
federal money available, under a
proposed bill titled “America the
Beautiful,” to cities with tree ordi
nances in place when the bill
passes.
“It would pay Athens environ
mentally to replace trees,” said
Marcia Bansley, executive director
of Trees Atlanta.
Groups like the Athens Tree
Commission know that tree main
tenance and replacement is more
often an urban issue than a rural
one. This makes it less likely that a
local tree ordinance would pass in
the kind of county-wide vote char
acteristic of unified government.
“We want it to become a political
issue in the upcoming elections,”
said John Waters, ATC chairman
and an associate professor of land
scape architecture. “We feel this is
a way for city government to pro
vide a little environmental lead
ership and some guideposts for the
future.”
Waters said the proposed tree
ordinance deals with urban tree
management and covers the me
chanics of replacement, replanting
and proper care.
If the ordinance is in place by
January, the unified government
must keep it on the books for a
year. Waters said this will give it a
trial period, which he hopes will
prove to developers that the law
works.
Atlanta has had a tree ordinance
in place since 1975. Fulton County
adopted what Bansley calls “one of
the best in the country” in 1985.
Bansley said Fulton’s ordinance
is exemplary because the emphasis
isn’t on saving individual trees, but
rather on duplicating the environ
mental impact of trees that will be
destroyed by development.
Stan Henderson, president of
the Athens Business Council, said
trees aren’t a business issue and
shouldn’t be treated as such.
“We’re not against trees or
against anybody trying to regulate
or promote trees,” Henderson said.
“But a property owner has as much
ability to determine the value of
trees on his property as some com
mittee.”
Walter L. Cook, an assistant
professor of forest resources who is
working on the proposed tree ordi
nance, said it lay dormant for a
while and then was revived last
year and submitted to the city
council in the spring.
He said if the bill doesn’t pass
before elections for the unified gov
ernment, it’ll become a political
issue in the election.

New students get advice
By SANDRA STEPHENS
Staff Writer
More than 100 freshmen and
transfer students received impor
tant information and advice on
adjusting to life at the University
at the Tate Student Center
Wednesday night.
“What Your Momma Didn’t
Tell You," sponsored by the Black
Affairs Council, provided stu
dents with information on dating,
meeting new people and health.
Thomas Glanton, a sophomore
English education mryor and
president of BAC, said the pro
gram is very important and can
help students avoid problems and
pitfalls.
“A lot of freshmen come in and
really aren’t used to the pres
sures college life can bring them,”
Glanton said.
The program was divided into
two sessions: social relations and
alcohol awareness.
Panelists for the social rela
tions session were Nancy Mac-
Nair, health educator at Health
Services, and students LaConia
Jenkins, Edward McMurtry,
Tanzy Dorsey and Tony King.
Lynn Montford, BAC vice-
president for student enhance
ment, presented questions to the
social relations panel. The ques
tions ranged from dating and
meeting new friends to services
available at the health center.
Montford, a senior journalism
major, said many upperclassmen
submitted questions they had
when they were freshmen.
“I think everybody benefitted
from it,” Montford said. “I think
we helped them adjust a little
better.”
Tony King, a senior political
science major, said studenta may
get individual help from upper
classmen during the year but the
program is a “full blown attempt
to help orient students.”
“It’s not just a matter of get
ting students here,” King said.
“It’s a matter of helping them
once they’re here.”
A film on Acquired Immune
Defiency Syndrome and sexually
transmitted diseases was pre
sented during the session.
Students received information
on many aspects of alcoholism
during the alcohol awareness ses
sion.
Panelists for the session were
Kristin Dwors, president of
Greeks Advocating the Mature
Management of Alcohol, and
Erika DeLemos, vice president of
GAMMA.
Kristin Dwors, a senior early
childhood education major, said
they weren’t telling the students
to abstain. They were telling
them how to be prepared.
Dwors and DeLemos discussed
the symptons of alcoholism, ideas
people have about alcohol, hang-
over myths, how to take care of a
friend who is drunk and facts
about alcoholism.
Carlon Nelson, a freshman bi
ology major, said she doesn’t
drink, and she felt the alcohol
awareness session might have
been more useful for someone
who drinks.
