Debate focused on justice, truth
r .e Red and Black • Thursday, October 11, 1990 • 3

Campus Correspondent
The U.S. Judicial System came
under scrutiny as two of the
South’s leading trial attorneys de
bated at the Hatton Lovejoy Court
room in the School of Law.
Wilmer ‘"Buddy" Parker III, lead
assistant U.S. attorney for the
Southeastern Drug Enforcement
Task Force in Atlanta and Bobby
Lee Cook Sr., criminal defense at
torney in Summerville, Ga., de
bated Tuesday night whether the
search for truth or the judicial
process is more important in the
justice system.
Bob Barr, former U.S. attorney
and district justice to Phi Alpha
Delta, moderated.
Cook said he sees a great in
crease in what he calls the “law
and order syndrome.”
The law and order syndrome oc
curs when those in the legal
system become so caught up in
rules and procedures that they ig
nore right and wrong.
“It is unfortunate that you hear
people take the position that the
Fifth or the Fourth or the Sixth
amendments are mere loopholes
that people take advantage of,"
Cook said.
“What I see in the syndrome is
subtle and pervasive,” he said.'We
won’t see any storm troopers or
brown shirts. Instead, (wrong) will
be done in the name of law and
order.”
Parker said the process is ba
sically good. But it isn’t infallible.
“The worse thing that can
happen is to constantly look for ex
ceptions to enforcement of the Bill
of Rights,” he said. “And we do
make mistakes.”
Law talks: L-R, Buddy Parker, Bob Barr (moderator)
and Bobby Lee Cook at Tuesday night debate.
However, more prosecutors are
becoming more professional and
consequently making fewer mis
takes, Parker said.
Criminals should blame their
loss of rights on their use of
weapons and firearms, he said, not
on the government.
‘The public wants criminals in
carcerated," he said.
Cook agreed that the public is
getting what they want, \>ut said
the price is high.
For the first time in history, fed
eral judges no longer fashion sen
tences tailored to the individual, he
said.
Parker said, “Instead, (the
judge) looks at a computerized
schedule that tells him what he
must sentence."
Cook said that in half of all crim
inal cases, bail is denied to de
fendants who’ve had no charges
filed against them.
Parker said, however, that the
judicial process is an “essential in
gredient" in the courtroom.
lev, pr
Alpha Delta said tne organization
sponsored the event because Cook
and Parker would provide stimu
lating conversation tor the Univer
sity.
Scott Gunn, a third-year law
student, said the attorneys’ hon
esty impressed him.
Horticulture may have new major
By AL DIXON
Staff Writer
A new mcyor in the Horticul
ture department of the College of
Agriculture will go before the
University Council today for ap
proval.
Gary Couvillon, head of the
horticulture department, said the
major, Landscape and Grounds
Management, will focus on the
design and management of land
scapes.
“Landscape management in
the state of Georgia is a $300 mil
lion a year business and is ex
pected to reach $1 billion a year
by the year 2000,” he said. “So
there is a great demand for stu
dents with training in this area.”
Couvillon said that in the past
the average University student
looking for employment in this
area was offered between five
and 10 job opportunities.
He said he expects the addition
nage
nal r
poi
lev
major to increase national recog
nition of University students
seeking employment in the field
and to raise the number of job op-
•rtunities to an even greater
evel.
Couvillon said that horticul
ture is currently the only major
offered by the department. But
this major isn’t flexible enough to
provide proper training to stu
dents interested in landscape
management.
“Until a few years ago the hor
ticulture department had a land
scape management option, which
was similar to the proposed de
gree,” Couvillon said. “But the
Board of Regents decided to elim
inate all option programs, so we
were left with no formal program
in the area of landscape manage
ment.”
Options are concentrations in
a specific area of another miyor.
Most universities with a horti
culture department have land
scape management options, he
said. But few departments actu
ally offer the degree.
Couvillon said the projected
number of landscape manage
ment mtyors for the first year is
25. He expects that number to
reach 60 within two years.
Wen Williams, associate di
rector of the College of Agricul
ture, said the proposal for the
new miyor originated in the hor
ticulture department and was ap
proved Aug. 7 by the University
Curriculum Committee, which he
is chairing.
‘The proposal now must be
voted on Dy the University
Council," he said. “I do not envi
sion any problems with the
council approving the proposal
Thursday,”
“If it passes, then it will go to
the state Board of Regents for
final approval,” Williams said.
