ATLANTA (AP): Quayle supports term limits. Vic
President Dan Quayle told a rally for Johnny Isakson Mondt
■ Vies
i Quayle told a rally for Johnny Isakson Monday that
the GOP gubernatorial candidate’s proposal for limiting state
officials’ terms in Georgia is a good idea and ought to be applied to
members of Congress. In his second campaign appearance for Isakson
in as many months, Quayle praised the Republican as a man of vision
and predicted victory for him next week. But in the wake of the just-
finisned budget battle in Congress, the vice president seemed
preoccupied with congressional races. “Unfortunately, if history is
any kind of a guide, 98 to 99 percent of the incumbents running for re-
election to the House of Representatives will get re-elected,” said
Quayle. He made no reference to Georgia Rep. Newt Gingrich, the
House minority whip whose opposition to an initial budget
compromise proposal embarrassed the White House. But he declared
that Isakson’s proposed limitation of terms for state officials should
apply in Washington as well.
NATION
WASHINGTON (AP): Tax bill touches everyone. The tax
bill that Congress passed over the weekend will touch nearly every
segment of the American public. Most Americans will pay higher
taxes, but on their purchases rather than on their earnings. The bite
will be relatively light for all but the well-to-do. Those with incomes
over $200,000 a year will see their federal tax liabilities rise by an
average of 6.3 percent. Many of the 70 million couples and individuals
with incomes under $20,000 will get a slight tax cut, thanks to
expansion of the earned-income credit for poorer, working families
with children. The National Taxpayers’ Union, a nonpartisan
organization that campaigns for lower taxes, estimated the bill will
boost the taxes of a $30,000 household by an average of $109. The
union, which figured all households in a certain income bracket,
regardless of size, said a $40,000 household will pay $166 more. At
$50,000, it will pay an extra $214; $70,000, $277 more; $100,000,
‘ households at the $225,000 level will face an average
$542 more, and
tax increase of $3,572
WASHINGTON (AP): Klan marches against civil rights.
About 30 Ku Klux klan members marched through the natiorvs
capital under tight security Sunday and rallied briefly at the U.S.
Capitol while counterdemonstrators unsuccessfully pressed to enter
the grounds. It was the second Klan rally at the Capitol in as many
months and occurred afler counterdemonstrators had vowed to stop
it. There were no immediate reports of arrests, but two police officers
were injured in confrontations with counterdemonstrators, officials
said. At the Capitol, a Klan leader exhorted the robed and hooded
crowd to remove from office senators and representatives who voted
to override President Bush’s veto of the Civil Rights Act of 1990.
‘They tried to override the veto, but thank God it was kept out of
law, the unidentified Klansman said during the 30-minute rally.
“Vote the hypocrites out,” he added.
MODESTO, Calif. (AP): Airplane shot. A woman shot a hole
in the fuel tank of a small airplane that was flying over her property,
authorities said. The plane landed safely at a private landing strip.
Lt. Art Voortman said pilot Bill Yandell and a passenger smelled fuel
Sunday afternoon as they flew at an elevation of 800 to 1,000 feet.
After landing, they found a bullet hole in the left wing fuel tank only
12 inches from the cockpit. Voortman said investigators went to the
home of Jondee Scruggs, 48, because she allegedly had threatened to
shoot any plane that flew over her land, about 90 miles east of San
Francisco. A recently fired .22-caliber rifle was found at the residence,
and Scruggs was booked for investigation of assault with a deadly
weapon.
WORLD
TBILISI, U.S.S.R. (AP): Non-Communist parties won elections
in Georgia on a platform calling for independence from the Soviet
Union, private ownership of land and a capitalist economy, officials
said Monday. “We are certainly going to have a majority in
parliament, said Zviad Gamsakhurdia, leader of the victorious
Round Table-Free Georgia bloc of political parties. With about 90
percent of the regions reporting, Gamsakhurdia claimed victory in
about 70 percent. He protested what he called “gross violations” of the
election law and said Communist authorities “terrorized the non-
Georgian population” along the borders of the mountainous southern
republic, which is dotted with pockets of Azerbaijani and other ethnic
groups. No date has been set yet for convening the Georgian Supreme
Soviet legislature, which is expected to declare independence from
the Soviet Union. Among the 15 Soviet republics, all but Kirgizia
have declared some form of sovereignty or independence.

Black History Month grows to quarter
By HOA TRAN
Contributing Writer
Winter will bring more than just
a few passing weeks of awareness
— Black History Month is now
Black History Quarter.
“It’s my feeling that Black His
tory should not be taken out and
reviewed for a couple weeks,” said
Leslie Bates, director of Minority
Services and Programs.
Bates, who came to the Univer
sity last spring, has been orga
nising this program since May.
“It’s easier to plan,” he said.
“There’s a longer time frame to
arrange for prominent speakers
and performers,” he said.
Although the itinerary is still in
its planning stages, Bates is very
optimistic about the outcome.
“We want to use local people of
Georgia to come in and speak of
their successes and give their phi
losophies,” he said. “In that way,
the impact of these successes will
be greater on the student knowing
that they could have role models
close by.
Vanessa Williams, assistant di
rector and chairman of the Plan
ning Committee, is organizing the
sponsors. .
“We need cooperation with dif
ferent aspects of the University,
she said.
Most of the activities will be
coordinated by student organiza
tions as well as faculty members of
different departments.
Bates said, ‘The idea iB to en
courage other areas to talk about
the involvement of black history in
their department. We want the
University as a whole to sponsor
the Black History Quarter so that
we can bring back a history that’s
been lost in our textbooks.”

Graduate students in the School
of Journalism have fewer worries,
both academically and socially,
thanks to the Grad Caucus.
The organization, formed ap
proximately five years ago, is an
informal” self-help group that
serves students’ needs, according
to Chairman Doug Barthlow.
Membership is automatic for all
students in the school, Barthlow
said.
Activities range from helping
students choose classes to periodic
brown bag lunches where students
and faculty talk about their re
search, he said.
Tom Streeter, former chairman
and member of Grad Caucus, said
the group’s social events are bene
ficial to students.
“We have morning coffee once a
month so that faculty and students
can meet outside the classroom,”
Streeter said.
Barthlow said the group’s in
formal atmosphere hasn’t been a
factor in its effectiveness.
The activities we’ve had have
been well attended,” he said.
“We’ve gotten no complaints so
far.”
Laura Sweep, an active member
of Grad Caucus who moved to
Athens from North Dakota with
her husband and two children, said
the organization helped them ad
just to the city and the University.
“It’s nice to know that you’re not
in it alone,” Sweep said. ‘There’s

help group.
