Student households
converted into offices
By ANGELA HORNSBY
Campus Correspondent
Due to an expanding research
program, some faculty of the Col
lege of Family and Consumer Sci
ences have moved out of the office
and into homes.
Sharon Price, head of the de
partment of Child and Family De
velopment, said the four "home
management” houses, located near
the Georgia Center for Continuing
Education and the McPhaul Clinic,
are equally divided among two de
partments— housing and con
sumer economics and child and
family development.
'The research programs grew so
fast, we had to have some place to
house the projects,” she said.
Price added that, in addition to
the houses, there are two trailers
that house research graduate as
sistants and faculty.
The Department of Child and
Family Development has six pro
fessionals and a secretary working
there while the Department of
Housing and Consumer Economics
has two professors, a secretary and
a work-study student, Price said.
Teresa Mauldin, assistant pro
fessor of Housing and Consumer
Economics, now in her sixth year
working in a house, said the new
location has not proved inconve
nient.
“It’s about a five-minute walk
from here to Dawson Hall,” she
said. This has nice atmosphere
and it is quiet.”
Mauldin said that so far she has
received no complaints from stu
dents.
Carol Meeks, head of the De
partment of Housing and Con
sumer Economics, said the houses,
built SO years ago by the Works
Progress Administration under
President Roosevelt, were origi
nally designed for students.
“They lived in the house for a
quarter,” she said. “While there,
they had to fbnction as a household
unit.” This included learning to
manage, as well as budget, all
household activities.
Meeks said the program was dis
continued three or four years ago
because ‘students’ needs and expe
riences had changed.’’
Emily Pou, Dean of the College
of Family and Consumer Sciences,
said the faculty move has not af
fected communication between the
two locations.
Pou said she asked administra
tion for a new building a few years
ago, yet does not expect to get one
anytime soon.

Clash between Muslims, Jews natural
By KEVIN McQREEVY
Contributing Writer
Conflicting opinion* have
ariien over Taat week’s violent
clash between Palestinians and
Israelis in Jerusalem, but Jewish
and Muslim representatives in
Athens agree on one thing: it was
natural.
It was natural for the Palestin
ians to strike out at a group
which oppresses and kills them,
said Emad El-din Hassan, presi
dent of the Muslim Student Asso
ciation.
And, said Rebecca Greenwald,
stats director of the Georgia-Is-
rael Network of University Stu
dents, it was natural for the
Israeli Defense Forces to try to
protect the Jewish worshipers
who were being stoned by the
Palestinians.
Aside from that one
agreement, the two seem worlds
apart.
Hassan said, “Muslims can live
with people of any religion as
long as there is mutual respect,
but Israelis don’t believe many
can live together.
"We will onlv accept neighbors
on a basis of justice," Hassan
said. "We will not accept a
neighbor who makes fear.”
However, Greenwald said,
“Arabs and Israelis can only live
together when Arabs recognize
Israel as a country and other
faiths. Israel wants to make
peace with its neighbors.”
Depending on who is asked,
the Palestinian riot was either a
spontaneous reaction to fears of a
Jewish extremist group, which
advocates tearing down the A1
Aksa Mosque — Islam’s third ho
liest mosque — or a premeditated
move to draw attention away
from Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.
Greenwald believes the latter.
She said the Palestine Liber
ation Organization orchestrated
the riot with help from Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein.
"Saddam Hussein has always
wanted to destroy Israel," she
said. "He wants to bring the Arab
world against Israel.”
Asked about Hussein’s claim to
champion the Palestinian cause,
Hassan said, “I don’t think
anyone but the Palestinians will
solve the problem.”
Palestinians should have a
"right to their own land and to
choose their own fate,” he said.
"We don’t need a fact-finding
mission (from the United Na
tions),” Hassan said, referring to
the U.N. decision to send a dele
gation to investigate the 21 Pal
estinian deaths.
"We all know how bad it has
been for veers,” he said.
The Israeli Cabinet con
demned the U.N. decision and
said it wouldn’t cooperate with
the mission.
Greenwald said the decision of
the United States to sponsor the
U.N. resolution condemning Is
rael for its action was “under
standable” because of the
situation in Iraq.
'They’re trying to appease
people upset with Israeli force,”
she said.
Hassan also expressed concern
about the flow of* Russian Jews
into Israel.
‘They are having problems set
tling them,” he said. “If they have
no place to put them, they do
again what tney did before and
move Palestinians off their land.”
Greenwald said she was upset
with the coverage of last week’s
confrontation.
“It’s a disgraceful display of
journalism, all propaganda and
lies,” she said. “The media is in
credibly biased.”
FIGHT
"It’s premature to talk about
what might happen until we know
what dia happen,” Douglas stud.
Knapp is expected to meet with
Douglas, Dooley and Alan Barber,
vice president for Business and Fi
nance which oversees the Public
Safety Division, later this week to
see if policy changes are needed.
Two students and one alumnus
were arrested and at least 10
people were forced to leave the
game by police officers, University
police Sgt. Richard Good son said.
"The ones who continued to re
sist and the instigators were ar
rested,” Goodson said.
Presidents of Lambda Chi Alpha
and Alpha Tau Omega said the
three people arrested weren’t in
their fraternity.
Cole Thomason, president of
Lambda Chi Alpha, confirmed that
his fraternity was involved in the
fight and several members were
asked to leave the game, but none
were arrested.
"We don’t condone this,” Thom
ason said. “It’s unfortunate that it
happened.”
Rick Sirmans, president of
Alpha Tau Omega, said the fight
was in the seating block of his fra
ternity’s seating area and Lambda
Chi Alpha’s, but members of other
fraternities and other students
were also involved in the fight.
Alpha Tau Omega had already
lost block-seating privileges for
this year for dry-rush violations-
University students Beryamin
Tanner and Brett Chandler and
alumnus Darren Penn of Athens
were arrested in connection with
the fight, according to police re
ports.
The three couldn’t be reached for
comment.

REPORT
Another topic of discussion dealt
with the issue of whether the
United States should be content if
Hussein were to withdraw his
army from Kuwait.
Rusk, who served from 1961 to
1969 under Presidents Kennedy
and Johnson, said if Hussein were
to withdraw Kuwait would need an
international security force.
Muskie, who served under Presi
dent Carter from 1980 to 1981,
said, "We have to bear in mind the
objectives that the coalition rallied
around.
