Cited pedestrian cleared of charges, a University senior
cited earlier this quarter for causing a collision between herself and a
bicycle has been cleared of all charges by an Athens Municipal Court.
Catherine Wright, interior design major from Warner Robbins, who
acted as her own counsel, proved to Judge James Warnes that she
had begun crossing in the crosswalk with the light when the accident
occurred. She used a letter written by a convenience store clerk to
prove she had crossed from the north side of Baxter Street and was
just reaching the south curb when the cyclist struck her. Police
reports earlier said she had stepped from the south curb against the
light directly in front of the cyclist. Robert Ballard, senior political
science major, said the cyclist received head injuries in the accident.
He has been released from Saint Mary’s Hospital and has moved out
of Russell dorm. He could not be reached for comment.

MELBOURNE, Fla. (AP): Humphrey convicted. A suspect
in the slayings of five college students in Gainesville was convicted
Wednesday of beating his grandmother. Edward Lewis Humphrey,
19, had tears in his eyes on hearing the conviction on a reduced
charge of battery on a person over age 65. Sentencing was set for Nov.
8; under state sentencing guidelines, he could receive probation or up
to 22 months in prison. It took six Brevard County jurors about an
hour to convict Humphrey of beating his 79-year-old grandmother,
Elna Hlavaty, on Aug. 30. Humphrey has been held on $1 million
bond. No trial testimony was given about his status as a suspect in
the serial slayings in August of five students in Gainesville.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP): Pilot whales dead.
More than 40 pilot whales have died near New Zealand’s Coromandel
Pensinsula over the past few days after beaching themselves, officials
said Wednesday. Volunteers and conservation officers managed to
coax many of the whales back to sen, but some returned to the
peninsula on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island or were too
exhausted to survive. More than 20 pilot whales died Wednesday on
Great Mercury Island, just off the peninsula, after a pod of about 47
was found beached the night before, said Warwick Murray,
operations manager for Auckland Conservancy. Local residents and
conservation officers were able to steer all but five of the survivors
back to sea, but another nine later washed ashore dead. On Saturday,
about 36 whales became stranded or were in trouble in shallow water
south of the peninsula. At least a dozen died.
MOSCOW (AP): Soviet rocket explodes on launch pad.
The Soviet Union’s most advanced booster rocket, which an American
specialist believed was carrying a spy satellite, exploded seconds after
liftoff last week. The blast nearly destroyed the launch pad and may
complicate Soviet efforts to sell space hardware to the West. The
official Soviet news agency Tass reported for the first time Thursday
that the Zenit booster “broke up” at the Baikonur space port in the
Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan on Oct. 4. The three-sentence
dispatch did not identify the payload or give any other details. It also
did not say why the explosion was not reported for a week. James
Oberg, an American aerospace engineer and expert on the Soviet
program, said he believes the payload was a satellite the Soviet
military hoped to use for electronic intelligence gathering.

The trees of Athens and Clarke
County may be losing their leaves
this season, but candidates seeking
office in the unified government on
Nov. 6 are debating an ordinance
to keep the trees’ roots firmly
planted in Clarke County soil.
The North Clarke County Civic
Association conducted a forum
Wednesday at Fowler Drive El
ementary School where 17 candi
dates addressed issues of concern
to the north-county area.

Lester said the special viewing

Suzman said the annual report
is meant to serve more than one
purpose and serves more than one

Although the forum was aimed
at north Clarke citizens, the candi

that concerns citizens throughout
the county and the University com
munity.
Gwen O’Looney, Chief Elected
Officer candidate, said the goal of a
tree ordinance is to save significant
trees, depending on their size and
age. An ordinance would also allow
for the replanting of trees.

public on the issues of world af

CEO is elected county-wide, and
the 9th District candidate rep
resents the 1st through the 4th
Distrcts. The 3rd and 4th Districts
encompass much of the University
community.
O'Looney said she supports the
tree ordinance and sees a definite
need for one.
Jim Holland, CEO candidate,
said the ordinance would be unen
forceable at this point, and should
be considered at a later date.
Tom Chasteen, 9th District can
didate, said, “I have a little bit of
trouble with the tree ordinance.”
He said enforcing it could run into
individual property rights.
Regero Sampson, also of the 9th
District, said he would support the
tree ordinance, but just having it
on the books will not be enough. It
would have to be enforced.

then well take a human relations
