Library project spends $30,000
to preserve Georgia folk music
Folk music lovers rejoice. A
project to preserve folk music
recordings made by Georgia
musicians has been completed.
The 325 tapes, recorded
between 1977 and 1984 by profes
sor Art Rosenbaum, were part of
the University Libraries Media
Archives and Peabody Award col
lection.
Nearly $30,000 in grant money
was secured to save the deterio
rating recordings. Binding for the
project included grants from the
National Endowment for the
Arts, the Georgia Council for the
Arts, the Sapelo Foundation, the
Friends of Coastal Georgia
Foundation and the University’s
Media Archives Fund.
Copies of the tapes will be
donated to Georgia public
libraries and the Archive of Folk
Culture at the American Folklife
Center, Library of Congress. The
restored folk music also will be
available to listeners on the
University Libraries' Web site
(www.libs.uga.edu).
Genres in the folk music col
lection include blues, gospel,
banjo picking, work songs and
old-time string band music.
Performances by the McIntosh
County Shouters are among the
restored recordings. The
Shouters are a group from the
Georgia coast whose music is a
continuation of the musical tradi
tion of their slave ancestors.
These recordings cannot be
heard anywhere else in the coun
try, according to a written state
ment from the main library.
“By restoring these tapes,
music from over a century ago
will be saved so future genera
tions can hear and imagine a time
long past,” director of Media
Archives Linda Tadic said.
“Perhaps they will be in awe at
the passion captured in the
music."

Dartmouth allows Greeks to remain
HANOVER, N.H. — After much debate about
allowing single-sex fraternities and sororities to
remain at Dartmouth College, a committee report
at the college recommends the Greeks should stay.
A proposal made by the Board of Trustees last
February to make residential and social life “sub
stantially coeducational” sparked the current
debate.
The report irom the committee of administrators
and students created more restrictions on the orga
nizations and said the Greek organizations aren't
racially and socioeconomically diverse.
“If it is to survive, the system must change signif
icantly," the report said.
The report also said several Greek houses
haven’t been properly maintained by their members
and found “fetid fraternity basements in which the
stench of bodily fluids was pervasive."
The committee suggested tackling the current
issues in five years to see if the houses have
improved for further operation.
Historian sues Emoiy professor in
English court, says he was libeled
LONDON — An Emory University professor is
being sued by a historian for causing “waves of
hatred” against him in her book about the
Holocaust.
David Irving told the High Court that Deborah
Lipstadt’s 1994 book “Denying the Holocaust: The
Growing Assault on Truth and Memory” has threat
ened his livelihood.
Lipstadt teaches modem Jewish and Holocaust
studies at Emory University in Atlanta.
In her book, she said that Irving denied that gas
chambers were used by the Nazis to kill off Jews
during the Holocaust.
She also wrote that Irving is an extremist who
distorts historical facts in his books.
Lipstadt and her publisher, Penguin books, took
part in “an organized international endeavor" to
slander his career and his credibility, Irving said.
Irving told the Judge Charles Gray that since
1996, publishers have refused to commission or
reprint his works.
The trial is being heard without a jury and is
expected to last more than 12 weeks.
Stabilizing ropes were removed
before fatal Texas A&M accident
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A new report at
Texas A&M University says stabilizing ropes were
removed two to three hours before the stacked logs
COLLEGE HEADLINES
fell over and killed 12 university students on Nov. 18.
The report, released Monday by Rogers
Engineering Services, says four of the eight ropes
that steadied the center pole within the 60-foot
stack were cut at least two hours before the fatal
accident.
Photos taken before the collapse indicate the
stack’s first tier seemed to be leaning against the
center pole.
The report doesn’t give the source of the informa
tion or the reason the ropes were removed — it
doesn't claim the lack of ropes or the leaning logs
caused the accident.
Alton G. Rogers, president of Rogers
Engineering, said in the report that “the second,
third and fourth stacks appear to be parallel to the
center pole — the lean in the first layer becomes
more apparent as the Bonfire stack approached
Nov. 17.”
The removal of the ropes could've made the
stack more susceptible to falling, said a Southern
Methodist University engineering professor.
Basketball coaches at Howard
fired for altering transcripts
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Three men's basketball
coaches were fired last week by Howard University.
The coaches were accused of violating NCAA and
university rules.
Head Coach Kirk Saulny and Assistant Coaches
Darryl Bruce and Lamont Franklin were told to
leave their offices by Friday evening.
The university also declared two players, junior
Donte Lincoln and sophomore Darren Kennedy,
ineligible for the remaining season.
"We cannot and will not tolerate any conduct
inconsistent with NCAA bylaws and our code of
ethics and conduct,” said Ray Archer, vice-president
for student affairs.
NCAA uncovered the violation while conducting
an internal investigation after asking university offi
cials to review the allegations.
The investigation indicated that Lincoln's tran
script had been altered and Howard basketball
players received complimentary tickets to a profes
sional basketball game from Saulny.
