Michael Jordan has to borrow $1.50 to buy a hot dog
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Multimillionaire Michael Jordan had to bum $1.50
when it came time to buy a hot dog. The empty-pockets embarrassment
came Thursday while Jordan was filming a TV ad. The script called for him
to buy a wiener from a vendor, but when cameras were ready to roll, Jordan
was out of cash. “We were scurrying around, ‘Anybody have change here?" 1
said actor Sam Coppola, who played the vendor. “We got a dollar-fifly, and
it wasn’t easy.” The retired basketball star spent the day shooting the Ball
Park Franks commercial before playing a game with the minor league base
ball Birmingham Barons.
Contest offers rewards and help for the hopelessly messy
NEW YORK - Is Oscar Madison your hero? Do you write with crayons
because you can’t locate your computer under the mess on your desk?
Don’t touch a thing! You may be sitting on - or under - this year’s win
ner of “The Most Disorganized Home Office in the United States.” Just
grab a camera (if you can find it), snap a picture and write an essay
- 200 words or less - on how your office got to be such a disaster. The
winner will receive $6,000 worth of new office furniture, a computer
and the organizational skills of Lisa Kanarek, a Dallas-based en
trepreneur who specializes in straightening out home office slobs. The
contest is sponsored by Home Office Computing magazine. In a tele
phone interview Thursday, Kanarek said topping last year’s winner
may be hard. “One entry last year was written on toilet paper because
the person couldn’t find any paper,” said Kanarek, who runs
“Everything Organized” and wrote a book called “Organizing Your
Home Office for Success.” Another broke a rib after slipping on some
papers on the floor. Yet none topped photographer Art Shay of
Chicago. “I discovered TWO computers in his office, completely hidden
by papers,” Kanarek said, and a slide he took of John F. Kennedy and
Richard Nixon during the 1960 presidential debates.

Process includes paperwork and approval
In-state status requires proof
By BARBARA WIELAND
Staff Writer
Howard Meyer said getting the
University to classify him as an in-state
student would be so difficult that he
didn’t even try.
Being classified as a Georgia resident
would have allowed Meyer to pay the
cheaper in-state tuition, about $1000 less
per term than the out-of-state fee.
Meyer, a senior from Richmond, Va.,
said the process and paperwork involved
with applying for in-state residency was
too daunting and discouraged him.
“From what I’ve been told, it’s a very
detailed, long and drawn-out process,” he
said. “When I went to do it, it didn’t look
like I’d get in-state status. I didn’t even
fill out the form.”
A student applying for in-state resi
dency must fill out a Petition for Georgia
Residence Classification, obtainable in
the Registrars Office of the Academic
Building.
Associate Registrar Shirley Farmer
said students should bring completed pe
titions to the Registrar’s Office where
residency applications are considered.
Students may appeal the panel’s deci
sion to the Residency Appeal Committee.
The committee listens to the student’s
arguments and makes a recommendation
to the University president. The decision
of the president can be appealed to the
Board of Regents.
“There is no formula to decide whether
a student will receive the in-state tu
ition,” Farmer said. “Every item on the
petition is weighed.”
The petition lists the criteria the re
will hold a recruitment meeting
tonight at 7:30 in Room 407 of
Memorial Hall for the upcoming
spring quarter production.For

gents require a student to prove to be
considered an in-state student.
Each student must be able to show
they have lived in Georgia for 12 consecu
tive months and have established legal
residency in Georgia.
Len Davis, chairman of the residency
appeals committee, said establishing le
gal residency is easy.
“All you have to do to be a resident of
Georgia is register to vote,” Davis said.
Meyer said he is a registered voter in
Georgia and holds a Georgia driver’s li
cense, but was told by a friend that still
wasn’t enough proof.
The University also requires prospec
tive in-state students to prove they didn’t
move to Georgia primarily for educational
purposes.
“If all it took was to register to vote, if
that were all one had to do to get in-state
tuition, then everyone would come to
Georgia to go to school,” Davis said.
Davis said the policy exists to protect
the taxpayers of Georgia.
“I don’t have to decide what’s fair for
students,” he said. “If everyone after one
year can become an in-state student, it’s
people like me who pick up the tab.”
Though students may appeal residency
decisions, University employees are not
allowed to advise students on the best
ways to attain resident status.
“We are not in a position to tell stu
dents what they need to do to prove resi
dency,” Farmer said.
Farmer said she understood why some
students think the no-coaching policy is
unfair, but she added the rule was creat
ed by the Board of Regents, and people
caught violating the rule are punished.
Johnson to run
for re-election
By ANGIE NIXON
Staff Writer
A balanced budget and health care reform are
among several issues that Democrat Don Johnson of
the 10th district of Georgia wants to tackle if he is
re-elected to Congress.
Johnson announced his candidacy to an estimat-
ed 100 supporters on Friday at the Athens-Clarke
County Courthouse, and stated his goals for another
“I want to continue to fight for a balanced bud
get,” Johnson said. , , , , ....
Johnson co-sponsored the balanced budget bill
while in office. Only 73 members, Republican and
Democrat, joined in his vote for a balanced budget,
he said. , ,
Johnson said he also wants to make changes in
the penal system, including increased penalties for
violent criminals and funds for new programs and
drug enforcement. m
“Overall it makes common sense, he said.
Johnson also spoke about putting limits on the
time recipients can stay on welfare.
“It has become a trap,” Johnson said. 1 want to
change it from a check-producing system to a job-
producing system.”
The candidate also spoke about education.
“We need to help at a federal level^ to fund
preschool programs and lunch programs,” he said.
“We have to have funding for education.”
Democratic party member Walter Gordon intro
duced Johnson and described him as an “old
Southern gentleman in Congress.”
“I’m going to work hard and I want everybody
else to work hard to re-elect Don Johnson, Gordon
said.
Bob Stevens, district representative from 1960
1973, was also present.
“(Johnson) is a Georgia Democrat in the truest
sense of that term,” Stevens said.
