Insurance investigator to hold seminar. An insurance
investigator will hold a seminar Monday for anyone with questions or
complaints about insurance. R.J. Eason, an investigator with the
Consumer Services Section of the Georgia Insurance Department,
will meet with residents of the Athens and Clarke County area
between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on the fifth floor of the Clarke County
Courthouse. Wayne Whitaker, a spokesman for the department, said,
“Some people have questions to ask or documents they need looked at,
but can’t get to Atlanta to have it taken care of, so we send
investigators to them." The visit is part of a program that sends
investigators to cities across the state once a month to help residents
work out insurance problems at their convenience. Anyone unable to
attend Monday’s session is encouraged to contact the Consumer
Services Division at (404) 651-6993.
Extra gates to be opened at Saturday’s game.
University students attending the Georgia-Vanderbuilt game this
Saturday will be able to enter Sanford Stadium by two more
additional gates, said Associate Athletic Director Greg McGarity.
Gate two, facing the University Bookstore will be open before kick-off
as will gate five, which faces East Campus Road.
Governor swears in new regent. Governor Joe Frank Harris
admi nistered the oath of office Wednesday to Joel Cowan of Peachtree
City as a member of the University System Board of Regents. Cowan
will serve until Jan. 1,1995 — the remainder of member Deen Day
Smith’s unexpired term. Smith, chairman of Cecil B. Day Investment
Company in Atlanta, resigned earlier this week after nearly three
years on the Board of Regents. Rick Stancil, the governor’s
spokesman, said Smith recognized that other demands on her time
prevented her from fully participating as a board member. He said the
governor employed no selection process because Smith resigned
unexpectedly. “He (Cowan) and the governor have known each other
for about 50 years,” Stancil said. ‘They grew up together and did
business together.” Cowan, president of Cowan and Associates of
Atlanta, was Peachtree City’s founder and first mayor in 1959. He is a
trustee of the Georgia Tech Foundation. Neither Cowan nor Smith
was available for comment Thursday.
Rock-a-thon proves successful fundraiser. The
Panhellenic Council raised $1,500 for Project Safe at its third annual
rock-a-thon Oct. 14, Public Relations Director Alice Williams said.
Council members spent six hours Sunday in rocking chairs at College
Square for Project Safe, a program for abused and battered women in
Athens, she said. “This event was very successful,” Williams said.
“Panhellenic feels that our choice of philanthropy this year is
particularly significant because it is an opportunity for college women
to be of assistance to other women in the community.” The council
raised $2,000 for the Athens Homeless Shelter at its 1989 rock-a-
thon, she said. ‘Through this small sacrifice of our time, we hope to
show support for those women who have the courage to give new
direction to their lives,” she said.
Harris voices opposition to lottery. In an exclusive
interview for the local political talk show “Rapid Fire,” Gov. Joe
Frank Harris says he doesn’t believe recent polls favoring the lottery
are accurate. “I’ve never felt like, nor do I now feel, that Georgia
needs a lottery,” Harris said. The retiring Democratic governor gave a
rare, open-format interview with David Herndon, executive producer
and moderator of “Rapid Fire.” The interview will air on WNGM
Channel 34 on Friday at 6:30 p.m. and again Saturday at 3 p.m. and 7
p.m. The interview originally aired on WNGM in July.
Earth First! road show arrives on campus. Roger
Featherstone, a veteran Earth First! organizer and speaker, and
Scotty Johnson, eco-folk musician, will appear in North PJ
Auditorium at 7 p.m. tonight. The event, part of the Green dre
Wilderness Revival tour, promises to be "educational as well as
entertaining,” said Janene Lowe, a member of Students for
Environmental Awareness, which is sponsoring the show. David
Foreman, an Earth First! founder, describes the touring road-shows
as “older and better than TV. Turn off the tube and come to this road
show. Scotty and Roger are carrying on the fine old Wobbly-Earth
First! tradition of rabble-rousing by road show.” Tickets are $2 at the
door and T-shirts and books will be sold.

Issues in smaller groups
New club promises diverse discussion
By AL DIXON
Staff Writer
University Roundtable, a new
type of student organization, has
arrived on the University campus.
The new organization gives stu
dents the chance to talk one-on-one
with University faculty and com
munity leaders, said Susan Brasse,
the organization’s president.
“It will be composed of 50 per
cent students, 25 percent faculty
and 25 percent community
leaders,” Brasse said. “Once a
quarter, we will have a dinner at
which the members will listen to a
prominent speaker address an im
portant issue.”
Smaller groups
Brasse, a senior finance m^jor,
said that after the speech, organi
zation members will break off into
smaller roundtable groups to dis
cuss the topic addressed by the
speaker.
Roundtable’s first dinner will be
held in January. A speaker has not
been scheduled yet, but the theme
will be civic virtue.
“Our g;oal is to create an intellec
tually stimulating environment in
which students can discuss issues
with faculty and community
leaders. We want to bring in an
other aspect of education that can’t
be founa in the classroom," Brasse
said.
The organization, which offi
cially registered with Student Af
fairs three weeks ago, currently is
composed of seven officers and four
faculty members.
Brasse said they will begin a
membership drive next week.
Applications will be available
next week at the Tate Student
Center information desk.
She said she encourages any stu
dent with a 2.5 GPA and an in
terest in talking about current
issues to apply and set up an inter
view.
“We hope to attract a diverse
group of students,” Brasse said. “I
would like to see students from
North and South Campus apply.”

Rick Rose, assistant to the vice
president for Student Affairs, is
the organization's advisor.
Resolve issues
“What we lack on a campus this
size is the opportunity for people to
get together to talk about and re
solve issues,” Rose said.
“I like to refer to this organiza
tion as real college — where a di
verse group of people from the
community can break away from
the specialization of their partic
ular interests and become aware of
another’s ideas," he said. “It’s very
exciting."
Rose said that so far no commu
nity leaders have joined the organi
zation, although he expects some
will be joining soon.
Ideal club
Student Government President
Heath Garrett is the organization’s
vice president of communications.
“I feel like this comes close to
being the ideal campus organiza
tion,” said Garrett, a junior polit
ical science major.
“It’s much different from the
typical classroom lecture experi
ence,” he said. “Students can talk

not just a lecture series.
one-on-one with faculty and
leaders about real world issues.”
Garrett said the idea for the or
ganization originated about two
years ago from a similar organiza
tion on the campus of the Georgia
Institute of Technology.
