Autos robbed; suspect arrested. Stacy Samuels, 23, of 105
Hickman Dr., was arrested Saturday and charged with six counts of
entering an auto and one count of financial transaction card theft,
said Sgt. Richard Goodson of University Public Safety. Police received
a tip concerning a “suspicious person” in different parking lots during
the football game, Goodson said. Samuels was caught in the act of
breaking into a van, and after a short chase was apprehended and
found with articles from five other break-iris, Goodson said. Samuels
also was arrested in December by Public Safety on charges of criminal
damage and entering an auto. The trial judge will decide whether
entering an auto will be a misdemeanor or a felony in this case.
Stadium security to increase. In an effort to stifle what they
consider a dangerous situation, University officials from the Athletic
Department, and officials from the Public Safety Division, announced
Wednesday that there will be an increase of security patrolling the
upper decks of Sanford Stadium at the two remaining home games.
Director of Public Information Tom Jackson said anyone caught
hurling objects from the upper-decks will face arrest for disorderly
conduct and charges from the Student Judiciary. Jackson said
officials are afraid that if they tolerate fans throwing cups, people
may begin to throw other objects. Several years ago a student was
injured when an empty half-gallon liquor bottle was thrown from the
upper-deck, he said. “We need to put a stop to this situation now
before someone gets hurt,” Jackson said.

ATLANTA (AP): Miller, Isakson barbs continue.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Zell Miller, accused of dealing a
low blow to rival Johnny Isakson in a debate, charged Isakson with
the same offense Wednesday, saying the Republican’s new television
ad is “the most vicious personal attack” ever in Georgia “I think that
ad is beneath Johnny, it’s beneath Georgians and it’s really an insult
to the people of this state. The reason he’s doing this, of course, is that
he’s trying to hide from Johnny’s record. He’s trying to hide from the
issues by attacking Zell Miller,” Miller said during a news conference.
Isakson aide Barbara Morgan retorted, “He’s entitled to his own
opinion. The ad simply seeks to inform voters that we’ve got a full
time politician in a part-time job who has worked to better himself
financially.” The ad, which began running Tuesday, contends Miller
enriched himself in public service through connections and political
favors. It repeats two charges raised against Miller by Democratic
primary opponents: that he used political influence to obtain a
charter for a small bank in his home town and that he arranged a
comfortable state pension for himself for his retirement years.
ATLANTA (AP): Census officials argue errors. Census
Bureau officials contend that many of the households they allegedly
missed during this year’s census count either were counted or simply
don’t exist. In Atlanta, for instance, city officials contended the
bureau missed 674 housing units that are in a block containing only
an industrial park and 236 housing units located where a downtown
convention hall is, said John Connolly, assistant to Census Bureau
director Barbara Bryant. Connolly said Tuesday that spot checks of
some of the largest discrepancies cited by cities and counties suggest
that many of the local governments’ claims — including Atlanta’s —
were baseless.
■ NATION
WASHINGTON (AP): House approves civil rights bill.
The House today gave final approval, 273-154, to a major civil rights
bill designed to combat job bias, setting the stage for a veto
confrontation with President Bush.Bush has said he'll veto the
legislation because it would force businesses to set hiring
quotas.Provisions in the bill range from a ban on racial harassment in
the workplace to punitive damages in the most severe discrimination
cases.The House passed the bill by a comfortable margin, but one that
falls just short of the two-thirds needed to override a presidential veto
and pass the bill into law over presidential objections.The Senate
approved the measure Tuesday night 62-34, also short of the needed
votes to override the expected veto.The bill represents the civil rights
movement’s top goal on Capitol Hill and would overturn six Supreme
Court decisions on job discrimination handed down last year that set
off protests.

Regents: University’s head honchos
By LANCE HELMS
Staff Writer
When state politicians decide
they want students who graduate
from University System of Georgia
institutions to demonstrate compe
tency in certain subjects, they pass
laws.
But when it comes to the ques
tion of how the classes should be
taught or what books each school
should use, the relationship be
tween the Legislature ana the
state’s 34 public institutions
changes.
The University System Board of
Regents, like the board of directors
of a corporation, controls these pol
icies.
It has constitutional authority
over the system’s schools, and an
swers to no one.
The 20 board members are ap
pointed by the governor to seven-
year terms, and they elect a chan
cellor as their chief executive.
The chancellor in turn picks vice
chancellors to specialize in areas
like academic or fiscal affairs, said
Thomas McDonald, University
System vice chancellor for student
services.
“I work at the pleasure of the
chancellor,” McDonald said. “If he
wanted to get rid of me, he’d ba
sically have to give me two weeks
notice.”
The vice chancellors also spe
cialize in five other areas of day-to-
day concern — research and plan
ning, facilities, external affairs, in
formation technology and services
and minority affairs. The chan
cellor and his staff are the Univer
sity System’s full-time operations
managers.
On the other hand, the board
members meet once a month, and
they concern themselves mainly
with system-wide policy-making,
said Kay Miller, assistant to the
chancellor.
McDonald said that of the
board’s 30 standing system-wide
committees, the members meet
with only one group regularly, and
that’s the Student Advisory
Council, which meets with the
board members once a year.
Miller said the board members
do the majority of their work before
the monthly meetings in Atlanta
and hold full-time jobs throughout
the state in varied professions.
Formed in 1931, the board was a
consolidation of similar bodies
from the state’s public institutions.
CORRECTION
Now it’s one of the strongest of its
kind in the country, she said.
For instance, in some other
states, individual schools have to
lobby their legislatures for money
every year. But here, the chan
cellor draws up the system’s
budget and submits it to the gov
ernor.
The University System is the
only state agency that gets its
money from the Legislature in a
lump sum rather than a line-item
appropriation, Miller said.

It is the policy of this paper to correct errors of fact which
appear in its pages. Corrections usually appear on page 2.
