Council is babysitting for University faculty tonight at the Tate
Center for Faculty Appreciation Day, Nov. 2, Claudia Shamp, adviser
to sororities, said Wednesday. The council has made accommodations
for 45 children ages four months to 12 years, she said. Faculty
members were given applications and asked to make reservations for
their children, Shamp said. “We had a good response this year. If we
would have had any more to apply, we would have had to turn them
away. Last year, we only kept 15 kids, so the response is growing,”
she said.
Annual Holmes-Hunter lecture Monday. Donald L.
Hollowell, of the Atlanta law firm Arrington and Hollowell, will
present the 1990 Holmes-Hunter Lecture at 11 a.m. Monday at the
Tate Student Center. Hollowell is one of two attorneys who
represented the first black students to enroll in the University,
Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter. They were denied
admission to the University for fall quarter 1959 and each quarter of
1960. The lectureship, established in 1985, honors Holmes, an
orthopedic surgeon in Atlanta, and Hunter-Gault, a national
correspondent for public television’s “MacNeil-Lehrer Report.”
Hollowell said he will speak on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as
amended and “its effect on the political process." He said students can
learn some history and “get a better idea of how the act has influenced
the direction of politics in the last 20 to 25 years from the lecture. The
lecture is free and open to public.
Speaker: Revolution
in Romania was fake
By LAURA ROC
Campus Correspondent
The new Romanian government
may be just as corrupt as the one it
replaced because the revolution it
self was staged, a Romanian affairs
expert said.
The present government, under
the leadership of Ion Iliescu,
“started their rule on a big lie,”
said Anneli Ute Gabanyi, an expert
from the Sudost Institute of the
University of Munich in Germany.
Gabanyi spoke on the subject at
the School of Law auditorium
Wednesday.
A native of Transylvania, Ga
banyi said she wishes she could tell
a Halloween story of how the “red
eyed dragon” — Former Romanian
President Nicolae Ceausescu —
was killed in Bucharest, on
Christmas 1989, and now all is
well in the country.
But it didn’t happen quite as
easily as that, she said.
Many people misunderstood the
dynamics of the violent uprising in
Bucharest on December 22, when
over 1,033 Romanians were killed,
she said. Most of the protestors
killed and over 900 of tnem were
shot afler Ceausescu was executed.
Members of the Front of Na
tional Salvation, the group that
came to power afler the coup, were
responsible for these deaths, Ga
banyi said. The Front, under
Iliescu, blamed these deaths on
Ceausescu’s regime to rally pop
ular support and win in the elec
tions.
Although Iliescu’s men appeared
to be alligned with the opposition
to the old regime, many have close
ties with Ceausescu, she said.
Iliescu rose in power through the
Ceausescu hierarchy, and his
prime minister even courted Ceau
sescu’s daughter.
Many of Hiescu’s men were
members of Ceausescu’s secret po
lice, she told Steve Elliott-Gower,
assistant political science pro
fessor. But all the documentation
linking them to their former posi
tions has been destroyed or sent to
other countries.
Because the present leaders of
Romania are without western va
lues, democracy isn’t assured, Ga
banyi said. But by educating
people about the corruption of the
regime, Gabanyi plans to weaken
its power.
“We will not let this new lead
ership get away with its lies and
cheating,” she said.
Dan Bradi, who came to the Uni
versity two months ago from Bu
charest, confirmed Gabanyi’s
viewpoint.
“What she said was old news for
me,” said Bradi, a research assis
tant in comparative literature. “It
was a fake revolution and it came
out in the end.”
Although things are a little
better now, the people of Romania
are very disappointed, he said.
They had the opportunity to
change things radically, and it
ended in death and tragedy.
‘Things will get worse very soon,
and then there will be new elec
tions or something like that,” Bradi
said. ‘Things will certainly get
worse before they get better.”
As Gabanyi said, quoting a Ro
manian poet, “For the Romanian
ople, it is only now that World
ar II is ended. We now feel that
we are coming from the camps.”
You’ve got my vote,
Knapp says to SGA
‘I don’t spill blood
over hypothetical
situations.’
University President
Charles Knapp
By GWINN BRUNS
Staff Writer
University President Charles
Knapp said he favors the exis
tence of the Student Government
Association and would personally
encourage the student body to
give SGA their vote of confidence.
He told SGA members at a
meeting Wednesday night that
without an organized student
voice, responsibilities get strewn
among several organizations.
“It’s a lot easier to have a uni
fied student voice,” Knapp said.
“It helps to get an input in a sys
tematic way. It’s hard dealing
with faculty, staff and students.
SGA is continuing to build a
communication network between
the administration and students.
Knapp has been attending a
SGA meeting monthly since April
to respond to student concerns.
SGA members asked Knapp
questions about the reduction or
end to the physical education re
quirements, semester feasibility,
possibility of Olympic tennis
games at the University, future
effects of the state budget cuts
and the effects of a state lottery.
Knapp made his position clear
on the PE requirements and se
mester feasibility; he will sign
the University Council’s pending
recommendations on both issues.
Knapp said the University def
initely will bid on to get the 1996
Olympic tennis events.
The distance between Athens
and Atlanta may be a problem,
he said, but the University will
be a strong competitor for pre-
Olympic training.
One student asked Knapp
which student source would re
ceive the most impact if there
were another state budget cut.
“I don’t spill blood over hypo
thetical situations,” he said.
He said a lottery would be good
for the Universit/s situation.
“I’m for anything that makes
revenue,” he said.

Chen to discuss China in lecture. Yi-Zi Chen, a former
adviser to ousted Chinese Premier Zi-Yang Zhao, will speak today at
2 p.m. in the Tate Student Center’s Georgia Hall. Chen worked with
Zhao during the student protests in Tiananmen Square and was
blacklisted following Zhao’s removal from office, according to Tom
Ganschow, director of the Center for Asian Studies. Several months
afler the Tiananmen Square massacre, Chen escaped from China and
now works as a reseacher at Princeton University, Ganschow said.
“Chen will probably talk about what is going on in China todny and
not dwell on Tiananmen,” Ganschow said. The program is sponsored
by the Center for Asian Studies, the comparative literature
department, the Federation for a Democratic China and the Chinese
Student Union.

Bum Victim back in hospital. Armando Tasistro, a graduate
student in agronomy, checked into Humana Hospital in Augusta
Wednesday where he underwent surgery to clean second and third
degree bums he suffered two weeks ago when a flask of sulfuric acid
exploded during a routine laboratory experiment in the chemistry
buildng. He said he has been undergoing physical therapy at St.
Mary’s Hospital in Athens. Doctors have not determined whether or
not a skin graft will be necessary, but Tasistro said they haven’t ruled
out the possibility. Tasistro said the University is helping him with
medical expenses. Finishing the quarter is also a possibility for
Tasistro, although keeping up has been difficult. He said his
professors and classmates have been very helpful and understanding.
They send him notes and exercises from class. Tasistro added that he
has his books with him and he’s very optimistic.
