Myopic telescope discussion
Jim Belefic, above, a research professor from Georgia Tech
nology Research Institute at Georgia Tech, led a group of about 50
University students and faculty members through the maze of mir
rors and lenses that is the Hubble Space Telescope in a Thursday
lecture at the Physics Building.
Belefic is a specialist in transforming blurred images from
ground telescopes into clear ones. He was invited by NASA this
summer to take part in its Hubble Telescope image-processing
group this summer. The group dealt with getting the best possible
image from the telescope despite a flawed mirror.
Belefic discussed the various methods the group came up
with to extract clear images from the telescope.
4th district candidates court
By DANA WHITE
Staff Writer
Two candidates for 4th District
seats on the unified Athens-Clarke
County Commission said
Wednesday that students, who
have been on the outside of the
local decision-making process,
should increase their participation
in local politics.
Local attorney John Barrow and
senior political science major
Thomas Stubbs expressed their
views at a Young Democrats
meeting on a variety of issues
ranging from unification to recy
cling.
Barrow said one of the most im
portant issues in the election is the
combining of city and county ordi
nances.
“We’re dancing around the sub
ject of consolidation,” he said.
Because of differences in city
and county ordinances, he said, de
cisions must be made which ordi
nances the new government will
keep.
“The city backs historic preser
vation and the county does not,” he
said, citing one example of the dif
ferences.
Barrow said he was impressed
with student support of historic
preservation in Athens. He said it
sometimes takes a stranger coming
into an area to appreciate the his-

tory and beauty of the city.
Stubbs agreed historic preserva
tion is important. He favors closing
College Square to traffic to build a
town square. Athens is the Classic-
City and should have a town
square, Stubbs said.
Stubbs said he considers recy
cling one of the most important is
sues of the campaign.
Both candidates
agreed the open
container ordinance
has been randomly
enforced, especially on
game days.
‘The state of Georgia estimates
that our landfill has a life of five
years,” he said, “but the people who
run that landfill only give it three
to five years.”
Stubbs said Athens should be re
cycling now.
Barrow said he is also a sup
porter of the recycling effort.
Both candidates also agreed the
open container ordinance has been
randomly enforced, especially on
game days.
‘The ordinance is irrational,”
Stubbs said, adding that he
thought it was designed to harass
people.
Stubbs said the city passed this
ordinance under the pretense it
would help solve the litter problem
which, he said, it has not.
Stubbs said the city and county
ordinances limiting the number of

are to harass students.
Barrow said it is time for stu
dents to stand up for what they be
lieve in and question authority.
Clay Jones, president of Young
Democrats, said the other two can
didates for the 4th district were not
invited to speak at the meeting be
cause he was unable to contact
them.
DISTRICT

elected from each of the eight
county districts, two elected from
at-large “superdistricts” dividing
Clarke County in half, and a chief
elected officer elected county-wide.
The 4th District is part of the
9th District in the east, and the 7th
District falls into the 10th District
in the west.
Athens attorney John Barrow,
who announced his intention to
run for the 4th District commission
seat, said that originally there was
confusion over the boundary be
tween the 4th District and the 7th
District.
Unification literature describing
Cloverhurst Avenue as the district
boundary caused some people to
believe Creswell Hall was part of
the 7th District, he said.
But the line follows Finley
Street between Creswell and Rus
sell halls, leaving Creswell in the
4th District.
ELECTION

discuss their vote wilh others
while casting their ballot.
• If a ballot is difficult to read,
the poll-worker may assist in the
reading. However there is to be no
discussion of facts, opinions, or en
dorsements.
• Discussion of candidates be
tween poll-workers is prohibited if
rospective voters are within
earing distance.
Applications for six freshman
senators, students with less than
30 credit hours, are being accepted
at the Tate Student Center infor
mation booth until Oct. 10.
‘There aren’t really any qualifi
cations,” Perry said. ‘They just
have to get the 300 required signa
tures.”
Six graduate senator positions
that were not filled during elec
tions last year are still available.
