Miller campaigns in old stomping ground
By AL DIXON
Staff Writer
When Lt. Gov. Zell Miller
stopped in Athens Monday, he had
more in mind than flipping burgers
and giving history lessons.
Miller stressed his background
of education and hard work during
his campaign stop in Athens as he
visited his old stomping grounds on
the University campus and Allen’s
Hamburgers.
Miller, who was a graduate stu
dent at the University from 1956 to
1958, began the day by appearing
as a guest lecturer in University
Professor Phinizy Spalding’s his
tory class.
He took the opportunity to poke
fun at his rivalry with Republican
gubernatorial candidate Johnny
Isakson by comparing it to the ri
valry between early Georgia poli
ticians Button Gwinnett and
Lachlan McIntosh, which ended in
a duel in which they were both
shot.
After lecturing for 20 minutes on
Georgia history, a subject on which
he has authored a book, “Great
Georgians: 1733-1983,” Miller ad
dressed the key issues of education
and the proposed state lottery.
“When people ask me what my
top three priorities will be if
elected governor, I tell them educa
tion, education and education,” he
said.
“I think that I am the only
person to run for governor in the
state of Georgia in the past 50
years who has ever taught in the
classroom,” said Miller, who
taught American history at Young
Harris College in north Georgia
after leaving the University.
Miller said he favors a state lot
tery, which he expects could bring
in up to $400 million dollars a year,
to raise money for primary and sec
ondary education because, ns
Thomas Jefferson said, “A lottery
taxes only the willing.
‘We might as well already have
a lottery, because of all the money
going into the Florida lottery,”
Miller said. “I’d like to see that
money go into this state.’
The money raised wouldn’t go to
the state’s Department of Educe
tion, but would be put directly into
the educational system by imple
menting new programs on the pri
mary and secondary levels, he said.
However, he added the money
raised from the lottery wouldn't
supplant any existing state funds

calm and: quiet as a sea after a

Last Nowmibsr, the two 21 -yoar-
eddk ware among 3,000 protesting
students trapped behind a police
bam nde an a street off the main
squill* :n Prague. Czechoslovakia.
Ifiutud against communism, the
students had:marched into Prague
ffcrr «\ mm violent’ protest — only to
be met-by 19* and 20-yaar-old po-
liunmm with nightsticks.
“Ii was wiry badly ipjUred in the
stomach,' Klara stud in fluent En
glish. “My friends had broken
hands and legs. Some are still in
IhispitulS.’*
Klara and Vera, however, are
mn* at’ the University studying
jkumolism this quarter on a grant
flhmn the (to* Center for Interna-
tiumil Training and Research.

Hailing a free press. Nationwide
protests, initiated by students, cul
minated in the downfall of commu
nism on Dec. 29, 1989 and the
critatton of Vaclav Havel as the new
dtnmicnitic president.
Qh the same day, the first issue

Nhw the Klara and Vera are
living in Athens’ Tara Apurtments
and: busy being University stu
dents. Football and music, they’ve
fbund; dominate the lives of many
students. Both have experienced
BbllttOg* mama, firsthand.
‘Wove been three times (to
games) iuid that's enough,” Vern
suid. “It seems everyone is there
only to meet people, see people,
and wear red and black.”
Their one complaint is that stu
dents here are ignorant about
Czechoslovakia and the students’
revolution. The two believe Amer
ican students haven’t had to
straggle or deal with “bad experi
ences.”
“Sometimes I feel like I’m
speaking to 13- or 14-year-old
kids,” Klara said. Breaking up with
a boyfriend or fighting with room
mates seem like petty problems to
them.
University social customs are
alien to Klarn and Vera. After class
at Charles University, students
and the professor often go to a pub
to Uilk and drink some Budweiser
beer, a Czechoslovakian export.
Here, they were surprised to find
that students in the same class
barely even speak to each other.
Dating is probably one custom
they won’t experience. University
men fail to meet their standards.
“Czech men are better-looking,”
Vera said. “Guys here care so much
about their figures.”
In their free time, the two watch
old movies at the Tate Student
Center and go out with friends.
O’Malleys was the destination one
Saturday night.
“It was fun, but we won’t go
again," Vera said.
The music didn’t thrill them, so
they hope to try the 40 Watt next.
The two nre excited about what
lies ahead. They plan to visit
Washington, D.C. nnd New York
before they return home in De
cember. With help from some
friends in high places, they hope to
interview former President Carter
nnd U S. Sen. Edward Kennedy.
One image will undoubtedly
stick in their minds: In Prague,
President Vaclav Havel’s face is
plastered on billboards around the
city. “Here, there nre only Bull
dogs," Vern said.
This year’s homecoming queen
says service has shaped her life
By LANCE HELMS
Staff Writer
At this year’s homecoming game, the University
crowned a queen with a conscience: in her concern for
the disadvantaged, Kimberly Marsh shaped her life to
be one of service
“I’ve always felt that I needed to give something
back,* the senior marketing major said
Among other things, Marsh is a member of Delta
Sigma Theta, the service sorority that sponsors nu
merous programs for local disadvantaged people,
namely a group of children they’ve worked with for
nearly 10 years, a pair of adopted grandmothers and a
Girl Scout troop in a housing project.
“If all I did every day was go to class and not any
thing else, I wouldn’t feel like I was doing anything,
contributing anything,” she said. “I always wanted to
make a difference in someone elsc’s life ,r
She sees her role as one of encouragement, not of in
fluence.
“I've never -really thought nthmlt being % noiu
