African studies scholar Mazrui speaks to students
World-renowned African studies scholar Dr. Ali A. Mazrui will speak
on “The World with One Superpower, is it a More Dangerous Place? An
African perspective" today at 4 p.m. in the Tate Center Georgia Hall.
The lecture is part of the week-long Spotlight on the Africa at UGA se
ries sponsored by the African-American studies program. Mazrui is the
former president of the African Studies Association of the United
States and the former United Nations advisor for transnational corpo
rations. Geography Professor Ikubolajeh Logan said Mazrui was invited
to speak to increase University awareness of the series. “We wanted to
give visibility to the African studies program," Logan said. “Many stu
dents are not aware that there are African studies on this campus and
the University community is not aware of African interests." Other
events in the series include the films “Global Africa" and “The Garden
of Eden in Decay," two episodes in Mazrui’s film series, “The African.”

Playboy magazine searches for SEC party women
Playboy magazine is descending on Athens today to solicit female
University students to model in the magazine’s “Women of the Party
Schools" issue. Five years ago the University ranked 36th on Playboy’s
party school list, and this is the first update since that issue. A Playboy
spokesperson said the ranking was determined by interviews and repu
tation, but would not say where the University ranked this time
around. Playboy photographer David Chan will conduct interviews, by
appointment, witn students at the Broad Street Holiday Inn today
through Friday. Students must b$ at least 18 years old and be enrolled
full or part time at the University to interview for the pictorial.
Interested students can call 549-4433 to set up an appointment or for
more information. - Travis Rice
Keim gives advice on relationships in a humorous way
Shaky college romances toeing the turbulence line may find some calm
ing and comical advice from tonight’s speaker at the Tate Center. Dr.
Will Keim, an internationally known speaker and humorist, will speak
at 7:30 p.m. in the Georgia Hall in conjunction with Healthy
Relationships Week at the University. “(The week) looks at the bigger
picture like communication and other aspects of relationships besides
just focusing on the worst case scenarios,” said Gloria Varley, a
University Health Educator. Keim’s lecture, “Close Encounters of the
Intimate Kind,” will focus on dealing with relationship roadblocks, but
he will also speak on other issues such as self-esteem and leadership
skills. - Melanie Thomas

Barnes, Clift say college votes count
Eleanor Clift (1) and Fred Barnes of the the McLaughlin
Group participated in a political debate Monday night.
By THERESA WALSH
Staff Writer
The presidential candidates are
looking for the University’s stu
dent votes to help boost them into
office, said members of TV’s politi
cal analyst show The McLaughlin
Group.
“The candidates are clearly
looking for the youth vote," said
Eleanor Clift, correspondent for
Newsweek and McLaughlin mem
ber.
If Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton
and Tennessee Sen. A1 Gore could
get the student vote now, they
would have their support for sev
eral generations, Clift said.
Fred Barnes, editor of The New
Republic and fellow McLaughlin
member, agreed saying in past
elections, such as in 1988, the
youth vote only counted 29 per
cent. However, he said candidates
always hope the students’ vote will
be a factor.
Clift and Barnes were at the
University Monday night to help
students form opinions about cam
paign issues before they go to vote
next week.
In a debate, sponsored by the
University Union, the two colum
nists spoke for 15 minutes ad
dressing issues of their choice, and
then opened the floor for questions
from the audience.
The audience consisted of about
450 members from the University
as well as the Athens community.
Barnes and Clift said the audience
was hard to characterize as a lib
eral or conservative majority.
In Barnes’ opening remarks, he
said Bush still had a chance to win
and he outlined steps Bush must
take to succeed.
“Bush has finally learned the
hard way how the economic issue
works," he said.
Barnes, who is generally de
scribed as conservative, said Bush
must snatch support from Clinton
and Perot in the next few days to
stay in office.
Clift, who is considered liberal,
said in her opening that Clinton
will be elected president, unless
something really crazy happens.
However, she said the country is
looking for something more than a
mere change in leadership.
“They really are yearning for
optimism and some positive
thoughts about what their leaders
are going to do,” Clift said. “Bush
governed, with symbols and ges
tures and never tried to tackle any
problems.”
• In the hour-long question and
answer period, audience members
asked about 15 questions. The
querries ranged from campaign re
forms and cuts in the defense bud
get to health care and future
Supreme Court justice nomina
tions.
Clift said the Republican party
must redefine itself, if it is to sur
vive.
“It will go through the same
soul searching the Democratic
party has gone through the last 12
years.” she said.
Barnes disagreed saying the
Republicans were not divided and
had embraced the old Reagan ide
als.
The two also disagreed on the
subject of nationalized health care,
with Barnes arguing the govern
ment would be inefficient and inef
fective.
“I haven’t heard anything that
costs less if the government runs
it," he said.
Clift retaliated saying, “Health
care is a right.”
Barnes said there would be a
huge increase in taxes, as well as
spending if Clinton were to take
office. Clift disagreed saying mem
bers on Capitol Hill know their
spending limits.
Audience members said getting
passed the candidates’ rhetoric
and delving into the real issues
was one of the advantages to this
type of discussion.
Rob Dodson, a Warner-Robins
sophomore and College
Republican, said there wasn’t a
real winner or loser at the debate
-just a look at the candidates and
issues without as much rhetoric.
“Neither one of them were go
ing to lie or bend the truth," he
said.
In an interview after the de
bate, Clift and Barnes said they
were pleased with the turnout,
and enjoy their rare campus ap
pearances.
“It gets us out of the incubator
of Washington, out of the
Washington inside think,” Clift
said.
Newly named School of Art wants own budget
By THERESA WALSH
Staff Writer
Even though many art students
and faculty say they are pleased
with the department of art’s name
change to the School of Art, some
would like to see more substantial
changes made.
William Sapp, associate profes
sor of sculptor, said the name
change by the University Council
will look good on the front of the
new fine arts building.
However, he said he regrets it
only being a cosmetic change be
cause the Franklin College of Arts
and Sciences will still control the
school’s budget.
“On the surface the name
change looks and sounds good, but
it would be nice to have a budget of
our own,” he said. “I’d like for it to
be a substantial change."
Sapp said he would like the
school to be able to apportion the
money to the areas it chooses.
Evan Firestone, art department
head, said he was very pleased
with the name change, which was
approved last Thursday by the
University Council. Firestone said
the change was needed to accom
modate the 11 different areas, in
cluding art education, art history,
graphic design and fine arts.
Many don’t realize how large
the school is, it has more than a
1000 students and 55 faculty, he
said.
“The department is really larger
than a department,” he said. “It’s a
very diverse group of disciplines in
one unit."
Even though the name change
will not mean any more money for
the school, it will attract more na
tional visibility and more students,
he said.
“It will give us a higher profile
around the country in art educa
tion,” Firestone said. “We don’t re
ally need larger numbers but we
are certainly interested in higher
quality students.”
Ben Smith, a junior graphic de
sign mcy'or from Milledgeville, said
the name change didn’t mean any
thing to him unless the new school
receives more money from it.
“I doubt anyone will really no
tice,” he said.
Susan Wright, a junior from
Charlotte, NC, said the name
wouldn’t really make a difference
to students who really cared about
their art.
“If someone is interested in
something, they’re going to re
search it enough to know (if it’s a
good school.)," Wright said.
Horace Farlowe, head of the
sculptor area, said the name
change would mean a little more
prestige, but said he was disap
pointed they weren’t a “full fledged
school.”
It’s important for it to become a
“full fledged school” because then
we could have “a lot more control
over their own budget,” he said.
Farlowe said the school is well
supported under the Franklin
College umbrella but said it would
be advantageous to be able to raise
money and keep it just for the
School of Art.
He said it was his understand
ing if they raised money under the
current system, it would be dis
tributed to all the areas in the
Franklin College.
Calvin Hasbrouck, associate
dean of Franklin College of Arts
and Sciences, said any department
can raise scholarship money within
the University of Georgia
Foundation and designate it them
selves.
He wasn’t sure of the budgetary
advantages for the school if it were
made a Tull fledge school.”
He said departments were
changed to schools to suit better
their size or their goals of serving
many students. He said there were
many schools like the new Art
School on campus, including the
School of Accounting and the
School of Music.
However, he said he didn’t see
this as a trend and doesn’t foresee
any more departments in the
Franklin College becoming schools
in the future.
