Original Constitution of Confederate States on display
The original constitution of the Confederate States of America will be on
display today from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the third floor of the Main Library
in the Hargett Rare Book and Manuscript Library. The 131-year-old doc
ument is shown publicly only once a year, usually on April 26,
Confederate Memorial Day. Since April 26 falls on Sunday, the official
state holiday is April 27. Thomas Camden, head of the Hargett Library,
said, The Sons of Confederate Veterans honor guard will be here in pe
riod dress uniforms when the constitution is unrolled. - T. R. R. Cobb, an
Athens lawyer and co-founder of the University School of Law, composed
most of the Constitution. The University acquired the constitution in
1938. Camden said more than 1,500 people came to see the constitution
last year. "We expect that many again this year* - Michael A. Giarrusso
Israel Week features films, food, speakers, and 5k run
Israel Week, sponsored by several Jewish groups, begins today and
runs until Thursday, May 7. Activities include films on Israel, food sam
pling, a 5k waiyrun, and speakers on the Holocaust and Israeli Women.
The week, which is dedicated to the memory of the Holocaust and
the birthday of Israel, has been occurring for seven years at the
University. “We want to promote the culture of Israel and better the
views of Israel around the University,* said Debbie Klein, a senior from
Charlotte, N.C. Most lectures and events will take place in the Tate
Center and South PJ. Auditorium. For more information, call 543-6393
or 549-4192. - Lori Wiechman
The grass will be green in time for graduation
The grass that grows between the hedges will be ready for the June
13 graduation. “By graduation well have a good green field," said
Greg McGarity, assistant athletic director for Facilities and Events
Management. McGarity said the field was last renovated in 1981.
Since that time the field has lost most of its draining properties due
to compacting. After the field’s subsurface has been graded, new
grass will be ground up and forced into the ground by a large machine.
The new grass will knit together instead of laying in large square
sheets like other sod. The work, which started April 20, was contracted
out to South Turf Nursery, which also renovates Atlanta Fulton
County Stadium. They’re the best in the business," McGarity said.
South Turf Nursery uses the PAT system, or field prescription turf.
McGarity said this system is the best one to use because the gravel and
sand allow for good drainage and prevent a muddy field. The Athletic
Department saved money by allowing Whispering Pines Golf Course
to take away about 60,000 square feet of old grass. - Robert Haag

ATLANTA (AP): Panicked teen drives car through crowd
Five people were injured when a panicked teen-age driver sped through
the parking lot of a nightclub where thousands had gathered because a
popular rap group was rumored to be there. About 5,000 college students
flocked to Club X-S Saturday night to see the group Public Enemy, but
the rappers weren’t there, said DeKalb County police spokesman Neal
Hardin. Thousands were milling around the parking lot when Keita
Bryant, 18, of Atlanta drove his car through the crowd, Hardin said.
Bryant told police he was trying to flee a man who threatened him with
a gun. Police did not find the alleged gunman. Police were trying to
determine Sunday whether four of those were hit by the car or hurt
in the crowd. “With 5,000 or so in the parking lot, you can imagine
the confusion," Hardin said. Police said Bryant may face traffic
charges. Many in the crowd were in Atlanta for “Freaknik," an annual
event that attracts black college students from all over the country.
ATLANTA (AP): Military worker sues for right to display
A staunch Democrat whose anti-Bush bumper stickers were banned by
his Air Force bosses is suing for the right to display messages critical
of the administration on the truck he drives to work. The
American Civil Liberties Union plans to file a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S.
District Court in Macon on behalf of Jesse Ethredge, a Robins Air
Force Base aircraft mechanic ordered to remove the bumper stickers
from his truck or keep it off the base. “It’s a matter of standing up
for your nghts,” said Ethredge, 49, a civilian employee at the base for 25
years. “I’m the kind of fella that whenever I know I’m right, I’m going to
fight you till I’m shot down." The lawsuit seeks to force base officials to
lift the ban on anti-Bush stickers, Weber said. Ethredge is not seeking
damages. There are numerous political bumper stickers on the base
with conservative themes. They are pro-Bush or say things like ‘Sam
Nunn Wants Your Guns,"* Weber said. Ethredge filed a grievance
before he went to court, but base officials refused to recognize it.

NEW YORK (AP): Hill speaks on sexual harassment
Anita Hill was the featured speaker at a conference on sexual
harassment organized by women angered over her treatment last
November by the Senate Judiciary Committee. More than 2,100 wom
en cheered Hill at the event Saturday that attracted some of the nation’s
leading feminists, including Gloria Steinem, Catherine MacKinnon and
Bella Abzug. ‘Tar too often we fall into the trap ... of having to defend
our individual behavior as targets and then we ignore how our behav
ior fits into a pattern prevalent in society, * Hill said.
