DUMFRIES, Va. (AP): Authorities blow up letter bomb.
U.S. Marine bomb technicians detonated a letter bomb in the parking
lot of the Dumfries Post Office on Tuesday after a letter carrier
reported the package as suspicious, officials said. The unidentified
letter carrier was making a routine stop at a collection box when the
appearance of the package led her to think it was a bomb, said Paul
Giroux, a spokesman for the Washington Division of the Postal
Inspection Service. He declined to reveal what exactly caught her eye,
saying the investigation was still going on. “It did save somebody
receiving this package, he said." The letter carrier hand-cnrried the
bomb back to the Dumfries Post Office nearby and notified the
postmaster, said Kim Chinn, Prince William County Police
spokeswoman. Officials notified the county police, the postal
inspection service and a bomb squad from tne nearby Quantico
Marine Base.
■ WORLD
BERLIN (AP): Germany is again one country. The two
Germanys ended 45 years of division with a blaze of fireworks and the
pealing of church bells Wednesday, declaring the creation of a new
German nation in the heart of Europe. Near the ruins of Hitler’s
citadel in the city that symbolized the Cold War division of Europe,
the German flag was hoisted to crown the dramatic rush to unify a
Germany divided by World War II and the Communist Berlin Wall.
Rockets burst in the sky over Berlin, illuminating the war-scarred
Reichstag building and the Brandenburg Gate. The shower of
fireworks also lighted the upturned faces of thousands of Germans,
united in pence but troubled by the political and economic problems
facing a united Germany. Chancellor Helmut Kohl, President
Richard von Weizsaecker and former lender Willy Brandt stood in the
glare of floodlights at the Reichstag and joined in singing the national
anthem ns a vast party occurred across the land of 78 million
residents.
OSLO, Norway (AP): Man loses apartment. Jermund
Skogstad took a break from moving into his new apartment, went out
for a bite to eat and forgot to take his new address with him.That was
a month ago. “This is embarrassing ... but I can’t find the way back to
my new home,” the 50-year-old man told the Aflenposten newspaper.
“I’ve searched and searched.” Skogstad went to the newspaper in
hopes his landlady would read of his plight and call him. The story
and his photograph ran Tuesday, but there hnd been no call by
Wednesday afternoon. Skogstad moved to the capital from the
countyside and lost his way in a maze of streets while walking to a
cafe. His wallet, with the address, was in the apartment. His search
has been expensive: he paid a month’s rent for the 30 minutes he
spent in his apartment and also had to rent a hotel room.

Student Judiciary: Insight to
By PATRICK FLANIGAN
Staff Writer
When Lisa Tynes, a pre-law stu
dent, came to the University she
wanted to get involved on campus.
She found a way that also gave her
an opportunity to see how the legal
system works. She became a
member of the Student Judiciary.
‘This is a microcosm of the same
system we use in society,” she said.
Two years later Tynes is one of
seven members of the Judicial
Council, the governing body of the
Student Judiciary.
She works in the Office of Judi
cial Programs, which coordinates
the efforts of both the Student Ju
diciary and the Defender-Advocate
Society.
As Traffic Court Coordinator she
serves as a liaison to the courts,
trains new justices and hears ap
peals to court decisions.
Roger Lee, student affairs coun
selor, said the Student Judiciary is
comprised of four courts:
• The Traffic Court hears ap
peals of citations for parking and
traffic violations.
• The Campus Court hears cases
involving violations in residence
halls, and some cases dealing with
minor infractions of University
regulations. The court’s three jus
tices don’t have the power to sus
pend or expel a student.
• The Main Court handles ex
treme violations of University Con
duct Regulations. Its three justices
have the power to suspend and
expel.
• The Student Organization
Court has five justices who hear
cases involving student organiza
tions charged with violating Uni
versity Regulations.
A student who doesn’t want to go
before the Student Judiciary can
choose to have a faculty adminis
trator hear his case.
Students who have to appear be
fore the Main Court, the Student
Organization Court or in an ad
ministrative hearing can utilize
the Defender-Advocate Society.
The society is an independent or
ganization of students trained in
preparing and presenting cases to
the Student Judiciary.
Defenders assist defendants in
the preparation of cases, famil
iarize them with procedures and
can assist with hearing presenta-
tion. , „ .
Advocates represent the Univer
sity by presenting cases in student
courts. They investigate and pre
pare cases based on reports of stu
dent violations.
The Defender-Advocate Society is
governed by a six-member student
council.
Tynes, who is black, said she
joined the Judiciary partly because
it has few minority members.
“I wanted to offer a minority rep
resentation,” she said. "Because we
don’t only serve the University, we
ensure that students get a fair
shake.”
Bill Bracewell, director of the of
fice, feels that the students who
work for him recognize the value of
what they’re doing.
He said they have to be astute
because they are busy and have to
allocate carefully the time they
spend on each case.
society
Bill Bracewell: Head of
Office of Judicial Programs.
He said the student judicial pro
gram enjoys a good reputation on
campus, which creates an addi
tional responsibility.
‘There may even be a little pres
tige associated with being in the
Student Judiciary," he said.
University comedy club laughs it up locally
Students who are serious about
comedy now have a place to go —
the newly-formed UGA Comedy
Club.
The club formed last spring
when its members to-be met
during The Certs U.S. Comedy
Competition, said President Mark
Gould.
“Having
a basic need to be
funnv, we were all disappointed by
the fact that the closest place we
could go to do stand-up comedy was
in Sandy Springs,” Gould said. “So
we all got together and formed our
own group.”

Meetings are held each Thursday Evening at 7
p.m. in Room 142 of the Tate Student Center.
All Are Welcome
What began as a group of about
12, has since expanded to a mem
bership of around 20. According to
members, the only real require
ment is interest.
“Admission to the club? Why,
the only requirements are that
members be interested in comedy,
University students and have a
GPA,” said Ben Clark, vice presi
dent of publicity.
The Comedy Club is diverse;
members come from all ma
jors. Club member Costaki Econ-
omopouios said, “It doesn’t matter
what you study during the day; I
think everyone secretly wants to be
a comic.”
The Comedy Club tries to put on
between three and four planned
shows a quarter.
Although members are critical of
each other’s material, the shows
are always open to volunteers who
want to try their hand at stand-up
comedy.
Clark said, “Normally, if we
practice in front of each other, ev
erybody shoots down the material.
Really, we’re all probably just too
jealous that we didn’t think of it
first.”
The Comedy Club will kick off
its season with a comedy mix
Thursday night at Club Fred on
Baxter Street.
