Boston (AP): Abortion drug is center of controversy
A controversial French-made abortion drug is also a highly effective
morning-after pill, preventing all pregnancies in women who have un
protected sex, a study found. The drug, RU486, has not been approved
for use in the United States. A study conducted in Scotland and pub
lished in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine concluded that
making the drug available for use after intercourse could reduce the
need for abortions. However, one anti-abortion group said it would fight
this use of the drug, arguing that a morning-after pill is just another
form of abortion.

They’re out for blood, so go give yours
The need for donated blood
may rise 6 percent in 1993
By MUGGS COULTER
Contributing Writer
Like many other people,
University senior Scott Boley has
never donated blood.
“It doesn’t seem that necessary
for me to give one pint of blood,” he
said.
But the donations from the
University make quite an impact
on this state’s blood supply, accord
ing to the American Red Cross.
The American Red Cross Blood
Services is divided into regions,
similar to the way a state is divid
ed into counties. Athens is a mem
ber of the Atlanta region, which
consists of 82 counties and encom
passes about 45 percent of the
state.
Universities and high schools
account for about 17 percent of all
the blood in this region.
“It is great that student aware
ness of blood needs on campus is
high. UGA students really turn
out,” said Sherri Hutton, recruit
ment coordinator for Red Cross
Blood Services.
“Many people do not realize
that 99 percent of those who live to
be 72 will need blood donations,”
she said.
The law school blood drive in
September was an example of this
student turnout; Hutton said 70
people turned out to donate despite
heavy rain.
“I just like to give as often as I
can,” said freshman Sabrina
Sexton, who said she gives
regularly.
Ninety-nine percent of
those who live to be
72 will need blood
donations.'
-Sherri Hutton
Hutton said it only takes five to
eight minutes to actually give
blood, but the registration process
takes about an hour.
Students who have been
through the process said it isn’t as
painful as some people imagine.
“I have given several times be-

Military (2.9%)
fore, and there is no pain, just a lit
tle pressure,” said senior Scott
Mabee.
Hutton said some people avoid
University blood drives, thinking
that the people taking the blood
will be other students. But regis
tered nurses are in charge of the
needles and discard them after
each use.
From fiscal year 1990-91 to fis
cal year 1991-92, the percentage of
Clarke County’s blood supply re
ceived from the University rose
from 45 percent to 46 percent, an
increase of over 100 donations.
Donations from Clarke County
as a whole are down from fiscal 1
year 1990-91.
The Red Cross projects that 1
blood needs for 1992-93 will in
crease 6 percent.
Hutton said the reason for this
increase is due to the fact that hos
pitals are continuously finding
more uses for blood.
Students who want to give blood
may go to the basement of
Oglethorpe House from 2 to 7 p.m.
Today is the last day to give blood
this quarter, but there will be an
other drive Winter quarter.

Atlanta (AP): Court rules in favor of dancing clubs
The Georgia Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that cities and counties
can’t ban or unnecessarily restrict clubs that provide nude dancing. The
justices struck down a city ordinance in Carrollton that prohibited the
sale of alcohol in nude dancing clubs. The court said, “The ordinance
unnecessarily infringes on protected speech and is unconstitutional.”
Legal experts said the 5-1 decision may be the last word on a war of
legislation, local ordinances and lawsuits that has been waged during
the past decade to ban nude dancing in Georgia. “In the past year or
two, cities and counties have winked, saying they are allowing nude
dancing but passing ordinances that basically make it impossible for
them to operate. This Supreme Court is making it clear tnat conduct
will not be tolerated,” said Michael Hauptman of the American Civil
Liberties Union. The ruling contradicts a 1990 U.S. Supreme Court de
cision that nude dancing is not protected by the First Amendment of
the U.S. Constitution. But Georgia justices based their ruling on the
Georgia Constitution’s First Amendment, meaning it cannot De ap
pealed.
