Athens (AP): Residents and students fight for housing
Mike Darke moved to a subdivision of neat frame houses for much the
same reason some of his neighbors don’t want him and other college
students there. He was looking for quiet. “I realize there are some stu
dents you don’t want to live in your neighborhood. But not all are party
animals,” said Darke, a senior at the University of Georgia. “I’m here
for an education. When I party, I go to the bars and do it. I don’t do it
in my front yard.” Unfortunately for him, there are enough party ani
mals trashing rental houses in this college town’s few traditional neigh
borhoods that the government may vote this week to force some of
them to move. “There are kids who aren’t living with their parents for
the first time and they’re running hog wild in our neighborhoods. They
have no responsibility and their landlords don’t care,” said Sid
Feldman, a middle school teacher and community activist. “All we want
is to leave a space for people who serve the university, the town folk, to
raise their families in peace.” Students don’t want to lose a cost-effec
tive housing option. ‘They ought to clamp down on those people who
are disturbing the peace, rather than punish all students who want to
live in houses,” said John Bradberry, the university's student govern
ment president. It’s a fairly common town-and-gown conflict in cities
dominated by major universities. Athens-Clarke County Planning
Director John Davis said his ow-n informal survey of 20 such communi
ties revealed a universal need to regular student behavior in residen
tial neighborhoods.

Atlanta (AP): Clinton beating Bush in Georgia
From peanut farmers to defense woncers to welfare mothers, Democrat
Bill Clinton is winning Georgians and gaining a significant lead over
President Bush in a state Republicans thought belonged to them.
Clinton jumped ahead of Bush last month in Georgia, and the latest
poll shows the Democrat with a 13-point lead less than a month before
the Nov. 3 election. Some political experts predict Clinton will win the
state, a feat only one other Democrat has managed in more than 30
years: native son Jimmy Carter. “I think it’s just a phenomenal
turnaround,” said Gary Henry, head of Georgia State University’s
Center for Urban Policy Research. “Bush has just not caught fire with
the voters.” Bush easily trounced Democrat Michael Dukakis in
Georgia four years ago by a 60-40 margin. This year, Bush and Clinton
have aggressively campaigned across Georgia, making it a key battle
ground in the fight for crucial Southern votes. But Clinton has a bad
economy on his side in a race that boils down to pocketbook issues in
Georgia. Many so-called “Reagan Democrats” — white, middle-income
Democrats who voted Republican since 1980 — are jumping back to the
Democratic ticket, hoping the economy will improve under a different
administration, experts say. “What this goes against is what we’ve
heard for years about the Republican lock on the presidency in
Georgia,” said Charles Bulloch, a political science professor at the
University of Georgia. “The key to Clinton’s success in Georgia is that
he is not George Bush. He is not the incumbent president.”

Moscow (AP): Gorbachev given ultimatum by court
Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev will be prevented from
leaving Russia until he agrees to testify in a trial on the banned
Communist Party, the Constitutional Court said Friday. It was the
court’s most serious action yet in its dispute with Gorbachev over the
trial on the legality of Russian President Boris Yeltsin’s decree banning
the Communist Party last year. Gorbachev has refused an order to tes
tify about his role in the party and its control over the Soviet govern
ment, calling the case a farce. Gorbachev led the former Soviet ruling
party from 1985 until last August’s coup.The court informed Russia’s
foreign and security ministries that Gorbachev was planning to travel
abroad Monday and asked them to “take appropriate measures” to
block him, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency.

Activities center to open sans dance dept
By KELLY DANIEL
Staff Writer
When the Student Physical
Activities Center opens sometime
in August 1994, it will include 10
racquetball courts, four gyms,
two squash courts and the School
of Health and Human
Performance among other things,
but it will not include the depart
ment of dance.
Budget problems have forced
the postponement of building the
dance facility, said Jack Razor,
director of the School of Health
and Human Performance, which
oversees the program. The school
of dance is the only department
which will not be included in the
new complex.
Already faced with a $36 mil
lion budget, University planners
needed a way to cut nearly $1
million from the plans while
maintaining the overall design.
“When the bids came in, it ap
peared we were going to need
$1.5 million more for the dance
studio," Razor said.
The proposed studio design,
which is included in the prelimi
nary SPACENTER plans, calls
for a free-standing, contiguous fa
cility, with a separate entrance
and box office in addition to a
connecting door with the rest of
the complex.
Razor said the decision to cut
the dance facility was made “logi
cally and without a lot of difficul
ty, because the dance studios can
be added on at a later time.”
Although administrators
reached the decision in early
1991, some students majoring in
dance are just now hearing about
it. Their reaction has been one of
surprise and unhappiness.
Jill Genone, a junior from
Macon, said she had never heard
of the decision until she was
asked for comment.
“Every time we’ve mentioned
something about getting stuff for
our studio, we were told we’ll be
moving into the SPACENTER
and there was no need to go
ahead and do it,” she said. “I had
heard rumors about not being in
cluded, but no one told us. I can
understand it in a way because
our department is a smaller one
in the school, but it’s still hard to
swallow.”
Brandy Ray, a senior from
Powder Springs, said, “I was as
suming that it was included. I’m
not real happy. That major in
that field doesn’t get that much
respect anyway, in terms of the
administration. It always seems
to be one of the first things cut.”
Razor pointed out the dance
program requires more space
than some of the programs in
cluded in the SPACENTER.
“Other departments primarily
use classrooms and office spaces
for the instructional part or they
use the same kind of (equipment)
the students use when they go in
for recreation," he said. "Students
in dance are of course disappoint
ed, but I think there’s a common
sense understanding that funds
