Schlottman pleads guilty to charges.Patnck Schlottman of
Jonesboro, a former University student, pleaded guilty last week to
two counts of causing bodily iryury by vehicle, one count of driving
under the influence of alcohol and one count of reckless driving, said
his attorney, Brian Carney. The charges stemmed from a May 27
incident in which three pedestrians — Dawn Roberts, a student at
Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., Nicholas Sucan, a student at
Georgia State University, and Terry Kennedy, a University finance
major — were struck by a vehicle in a University parking lot.
Schlottman pleaded guilty to one count of injury by vehicle to Roberts
and one to Sucan. He faces up to six years in prison, Carney said. He
is expected to be sentenced in November.

OSLO, Norway (AP): Gorbachev wins Peace Prize.
Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev won the 1990 Nobel Peace
Prize on Monday for easing international tensions, but claimed it as
an endorsement of wrenching changes he has made at home. The
Norwegian Nobel Committee said the 59-year-old Soviet leader
displayed a ‘Heading role in the peace process which today
characterizes important parts of the international community.” The
committee’s citation said the "greater openness (Gorbachev) has
brought about in Soviet society has also helped promote international
trust.” The committee said Gorbachev had made many contributions
to the “dramatic changes” in East-West relationships since he came to
power in 1985: “Confrontation has been replaced by negotiations. Old
European nation states have regained freedom. The arms race is
slowing down and we see a definite and active process in the direction
of urms control and disarmament.”

Form of civic center
should match function
By JENNIFER PETERSON
Campus Correspondent
Consider an ordinary waste
basket. How do people react to it?
How many uses does it have? Fred
Kent, founder and president of Pro
ject for Public Spaces made an en
tire film about it.
In a presentation Monday at the
School of Law Auditorium, Kent
showed a film of a wastebasket on
a New York City street corner as it
was used throughout the day. The
film demonstrated the importance
of useful environmental design in
public places.
The presentation was part of a
two-day conference focusing on the
development of the proposed civic
center east of the river in Athens.
Ralph Verrastro, Civic Center
Authority chairman, said the
Athens-Clarke County Heritage
Foundation brought Kent, who is
well-established in his field, to look
at the project. Although the city
leaders plan to listen to what he
has to say at a workshop today,
they are in no way bound by his
recommendations.
“We feel that the Civic Center
has a masterful design,” Verrastro
said. “And we want to see how it
fits in with his overall perception.”
PPS focuses on the usability of a
facility first and then creates a de
sign to support those uses.
Kent said, “We are trying to
move away from buildings to ad
mire to buildings to use.”
The wastebasket film showed
that the concrete-surrounded
structure provided a surface on
which to sit, spread out a news
paper and — for street people — a
place to find treasures. It is this
kind of design made with people in
mind that PPS encourages.
PPS was founded in 1975 and
specializes in the improvement of
all public spaces and facilities, in
cluding airports, parks, buildings,
business districts, transportation
and even seating in public areas.
They currently are working on the
Times Square subway station and
a Port Authority bus terminal in
New York City, among other pro
jects.
“We’re an international organi
zation,” Kent said, “We’ve done
work in over 120 communities
around the world.”
Kent has been involved in public
affairs and environmental con
cerns in New York for many years.
He coordinated the city’s Earth
Day in 1970 and again in 1990.
“I was fed up with the 1980s and
wanted to have something to do
with the new decade,” he said.
When working on a project, Kent
likes to have community involve
ment.
“We like to see a community
working to shape their own des
tiny,” he said.
