Cuban Missile Crisis exhibit now on display
An exhibit marking the 30th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis is
on display through December at the University's Richard B. Russell
Memorial Library. The exhibit focuses on two Georgian’s roles in the
decision making process during the crisis —the late Sen. Russell, and
former chairman of the Armed Services Committee for 16 years, and
Dean Rusk, former secretary of state and current emeritus professor of
law at the University. Russell’s notes about briefings and meetings
with Kennedy and letters from Georgian constituents supporting
Russell’s position to launch air strikes to destroy missile sites are on
exhibit. Tnirty years after the Missile Crisis, Rusk said, “We are uncer
tain as to who is in charge of those 30,000 nuclear warheads in what
used to be the Soviet Union, so we have to keep in close touch with
their command authorities and their intelligence people to be sure we
follow this problem very carefully. We could have an accident or a fake
catastrophe that would set off the works again. So I’m a little nervous
about the present situation.” - Danielle De Lucia
Rape Crisis Center holds training for new volunteers
The Athens Rape Crisis Center will begin training volunteers for the
Rape Crisis Hotline on Saturday. The training is free, and volunteers

dinator at the Center. She said one out of three women will be sexually
assaulted and the Center needs more volunteers. The first training ses

New York (API: Crowd cheers as they trash O'Connor
Sinead O’Connor keeps getting bad press, this time in the form of a
steamroller that crushed a collection of the Irish singer’s music
Wednesday as a crowd cheered. The music mangling was arranged by
the watchdog National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations, which said
the more than 200 smashed albums, cassettes and CDs were sent in by
people angered by O’Connor’s tearing up a picture of the pope. A
spokesman for O’Connor said the protest reminded her of book burning.
Elaine Schock, a spokeswoman for O’Connor, said the singer would not
be affected by the record-pressing.
