Libertarian party looking ahead to different goals in 1994
By LANCE HELMS
Staff Writer
After the excitement of the
Tuesday elections passes and vic
tory speeches ring hollow in halls
plastered with signs and trampled
confetti, the state Libertarian
party’s work will have just begun.
With the election behind them, it
will be time to concentrate on com
peting with Democratic and Re-
ublican candidates in 1994, said
ohn Taylor, state Libertarian
party chairman.
“We’ve already done what we set
out to do this time,” he said. ‘We
have more members and we’ve
gotten the media to pay attention
to us.”
They have to accomodate the
party’s larger membership and
want to drum up support outside of
metropolitan Atlanta.
“Ninety percent of our mem
bership is concentrated in a 10-
county area around Atlanta,” he
said. 'We’re going to establish
semi-autonomous groups in each of
the state’s congressional districts."
Membership in the state Liber
tarian party has more than qua
drupled in the last 18 months,
moving Georgia from 31st to 12th
of the 50 states in membership,
Taylor said.
He intends to put Georgia right
behind first-ranked California in
total membership by the end of his
term in April.
Taylor declined to release the
number of Libertarian party mem
bers in the state.
Reaccomodating means putting
organization where it didn’t exist
before — in the 149 counties out
side the party’s power base.
The University and the rest of
Clarke County are in the 10th con
gressional district, which stretches
from Gwinnett County to AuguBta.
Taylor counts on conservative
economists like Lawrence White,
associate professor of economics,
“and some other sympathetic folks
who we could probably talk into
being advisers” to help him orga
nize student party members.
White sees it differently.
“I gave a little talk to their
supper club, but I’m not a
member," he said. “That doesn’t
mean I wouldn’t vote for them —
I’m just not the party-joining type."
White advises a student organi
zation called the Free Market So
ciety, but “they may be
Republicans for all I know,” he
said.
Todd Far.tz, vice president of the
University’s Objectivist Society,
doesn’t anticipate many students
jumping to the Libertarian cause.
‘To be a realist I’d say it’d be
very few because most students
pay little attention to real politics,"
ne said. “On the other hand, every
body’s pissed with the Democrats
and Republicans about what’s
going on on the national scene.”
The philosophical nature of ob
jectivism often conflicts with the is-
sues-oriented nature of politics.
‘To be specific, Libertarians will
take anybody who claims to be for
liberty but they won’t define it,"
Fantz said. “My basic problem is
that in a libertarian discussion
group you can only talk politics.”
SAFETY
From page 1
A report of inquiry into allega
tions of fire safety code violations
followed, which made recommen
dations for change. Knapp charged
Barber with developing a plan of
action to address the recommenda
tions.
Fire safety functions are now
split between Edwards, SnifTand a
new position of Fire Safety In
spector that has yet to be filled.
SnifT is now responsible for in
specting construction projects and
architect’s plans. Edwards is re-
ponsible for training, fire preven
tion programs and investigating
fires.
The new fire safety inspector po
sition will be responsible for in
specting completed buildings.
The inspector will report any vi
olations that involve building
structures to Physical Plant and
other violations to department
heads. Sniff handles all commu
nication from the state fire
marshal concerning code viola
tions.
This contradicts one recommen
dation in the report that directs
Public Safety to deal with the state
fire marshal concerning violations
cited in a completed building.
“Well, Physical Plant is the one
who is going to make the correc
tion, not the state fire marshal,"
Barber said. “Therefore (Physical
Plant) should deal with the state
fire marshal," Barber said.
Physical Plant will inform
Public Safety of actions taken to
correct the violations, he said.
“I think things worked fine
under the old system," Boynton
said. ‘There’s an inherent conflict
that’s going to exist. I can’t think of
any case or scenario where a regu
latory agency was looked on by
those regulated ns friendly."
In a case of disagreement the
state fire marshal would have the
final word, Boynton said.
But Tenbrook said it’s common
practice for architects and engi
neers to have direct access to fire

“Physical Plant architects and
engineers must deal directly with
the state fire marshal regarding
architectual, structural and elec
trical resolution of (fire code viola
tions),” he said.
Warren Safler, assistant di
rector of Public Safety, said, “It’s
more effective to have safety per
sonnel review the plans. I think
that’s the standard in most cases."
Edwards said an architect re
viewing his own plans might have
blinders on where safety is con
cerned because the plans were his
own.
Sniff disagreed and said the
state fire marshal reviews the
plans before construction begins.
That’s true of large Drojects,
Softer said, but many smaller jobs
handled in-house aren’t reviewed
by the state fire marshal.
BUDGET

country goes into recession, then
the deficit will be $500 billion.”
Gramm-Rudman originally
called for the GAO to unilaterally
cut federal monies from agencies
going over the target. But the GAO
was challenged as unconstitutional
in having the power to sequester
the budget. After the U.S. Supreme
Court agreed, the authority to se
quester the budget reverted to the
executive branch.
“It was up to the president to
make those cuts,” Bowsher said.
‘The cuts didn’t get made. It was
what we call blue smoke and mir
rors."
Asked about the cost of being in
