U.S./Soviet debate to be held. Three University debaters
will challenge the Soviet debate team on questions of East-West
foreign policy today. ThiB is the first time the Soviet-American Debate
will be held at the University. Dale Leathers, Speech Communication
department head, said, “It is an honor that the University of Georgia
is hosting the event. We are very pleased that this department and
the debate team were chosen to participate.” The Soviets will visit
eight schools in the United States as part of a national debate tour
sponsored by the Speech Communication Association. The Soviet
team has visited the United States every two years since 1972. The
debate will be held in the Georgia Room of the Tate Student Center
tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Application deadline extended for Edes replacement.
The search committee to find the replacement for Nik Edes, vice
president for development and University relations, decided
Saturday to quit taking applications for the job Jan. 15, 1991. Dick
Yarbrough, chairman of the committee, said he had originally
thought the deadline should be Dec. 1, but this wouldn't have given
the group enough time to properly advertise the job opening. So far,
Yarbrough said, about five applications have been received. The
search committee has received several “third-party
recommendations” — basically nominees — but these people won’t be
considered for the job until they send in applications themselves, he
said. Edes is scheduled to leave Oct. 31 to take a job with the
American Film Institute.

ATLANTA (AP): Hit-and-run driver witnessed. The hit-
and-run driver who killed a Savannah minister on an Atlanta
sidewalk struck the victim twice before speeding off, an Atlanta
woman who witnessed the gruesome incident said Sunday. Virginia
Brock, 30, said she was entering the intersection of Peachtree Street
and North Avenue when a brown sports car sped through a red light,
ran up onto the sidewalk and slammed into the Rev. Pharis Scoggin of
Savannah as he was stepping off the curb. The minister was
returning to Crawford Long Hospital to pick up his wife, Millicent, 56,
and take her home to Savannah after treatment for a back problem.
She said the driver then paused as Scoggin rolled in front of the car,
and she looked on in shock as the driver then drove over the minister
as he lay sprawled in the street. Atlanta police officer David Kelley
said a man arrested for drunken driving four hours later in suburban
Smyrna is considered a suspect in the death.

BERLIN (AP): Neo-Nazis demonstrate in Germany.
Hundreds of Nazi sympathizers shouted “Foreigners out!” and anti-
Communist slogans in a march in the southeastern city of Dresden,
the news agency ADN reported. There were no reports of any violence
Saturday night as the protesters snaked through the center of
Dresden, a former East German city 110 miles southeast of Berlin.
Police estimated that about 350 neo-Nazis took part in the
demonstration, ADN reported. It took place without permission of
city authorities, the agency said. The march was led by Michael
Kuehnen, a well-known pro-Nazi activist, the agency said. Small
groups of neo-Nazis have emerged in the eastern part of Germany
since the Berlin Wall fell a year ago. German leaders have warned
that pro-fascist sentiments, which were suppressed by the former
Communist government, must not be allowed to develop in the newly
united country.

Astronomy dept, will soon see stars
By MICHAEL W. McLEOD
Staff Writer
Department of astronomy fac
ulty and students will soon have
stars in their eyes and on their
computer screens once a telescope
acquired by the University from
the Kitt Peak National Obser
vatory near Tucson, Ariz. is opera
tional.
The University, Florida Insti
tute of Technology, Valdosta State
College, and East Tennessee State
University, make up a group called
the Southeastern Association for
Research in Astronomy, who will
share use of the telescope, Scott
Shaw, an associate professor of as
tronomy at the University, said.
The National Science Founda
tion gave the 0.9-meter telescope to
the group at no cost in July, but a
new dome must be built to move
the telescope to a new location at
Kitt Peak.
Using technology similar to that
used in the Hubble Space Tele
scope, data from the telescope will
travel more than 1,800 miles to
computers at the University.
Remote-control equipment will
allow astronomers to operate the
telescope from thousands of miles
away.
“It’s the first ground-based tele
scope to do this,” Shaw said.
“Nobody’s done it for a long time
period,” he said. “A lot of people are
going to be looking at us.”
The University of Georgia Re
search Foundation has provided
$35,000 for the telescope.
The telescope should be in its
new dome by the spring of 1991,
but it will be June or July before
the telescope will be fully opera
tional and the schools will be able
to use data from it.
Previously, telescope time had to
be requested from other facilities
across the nation, Shaw said, and if
it was cloudy during the time
panted it was just tough luck.
With its own telescope, the Univer
sity will be able to get the viewing
time it needs.
“It’s the difference between bor
rowing your friend’s car and
having your own,” Shaw said.
And it might help attract faculty
and grants in time.
“It’s easier to get a grant if when
you’re writing the grant you can
say, ‘I propose to study this,’ "
Shaw said, “instead of‘II I can get
the time I propose to study this.’
“Having your own telescope is,
again, like having your own car.
You suddenly become popular, es
pecially with the people who don’t
have cars.”
Mark Gagne, an astro-physics
doctoral student, said he hopes the
telescope will attract faculty and
graduate students.
Shaw said he was suprised at
the large number of people who
knew the University had been
given use of the telescope.
Gagne said he will probably use
data from the telescope to help him
as he looks for new stars.

Seeing stars: Southeastern
Astronomy will share use of
astro-physics," Gagne said. “I
would use (the telescope) to look at
how optic sources correspond to X-
ray sources. New stars are X-ray
emitters when they’re young.”
Shaw also has a research project
in mind.
“I suppose one project I had
thought about is looking for binary
starts in a cluster of stars, partic
ularly in clusters of stars that are
old,” he said.
Binary stars are two stars that
orbit around one another.
Association for Research in
the telescope.
‘The desired conclusion is to
learn more about the binary stars
— hopefully how they live and how
they die, mainly how they die. We
need more data; their death is a
mystery,” Shaw said.
“With the telescope, maybe we
can increase the number of binary
stars discovered in clusters by
three or 10 times.”
Gagne said, “I think (the tele
scope) helps move the department
in the right direction if tney want
to stay com pete tive.”
