'S * OCTOBER 1989 Students, faculty join forces to attract Olympic Georgia Tech facilities would be built, revamped at no charge to univ< Healthy, spiritual and free... The Hare Krishnas have cooked free, vegetarian lunches for U. of Florida students since 1971. All they ask in return is a small donation that averages about 23 cents a lunch. "I eat the food because it's free and good, and I'm usually hungry at this time of the day," said one UF alumnus who has eaten the meals since 1978. The Krishnas serve about 150 to 200 lunches a day on campus and all the food is offered to God before being served to humans, Krishna Cook Govinda Parayana Dasa said. "Food not offered to God only fills your belly and your sex- ual desires increase," Dasa said. "Spiritual food fills your belly and also purifies." Omar Fakhourg, a theater major, said the lunches have changed his life. He now is a vegetarian and plans to join the Krishnas after graduation. "At first I thought they were brainwashed, then you realize they're sanitized," he said. "When you order a hamburger from Burger King, it's like paying for a hitman to kill an animal for you." Rob Stevens, The Independent Florida Alligator, U. of Florida current POWs and MIAs, estimates Admissions Office Director Marc Borish. The law, approved by Oklahoma Gov. Henry Bellmon in June, replaces 1973 legislation that offered tuition-free high- er education to the dependents, if the POW or MIA had not returned to the United States.

On the other hand, I cannot not give grades." The exam represents about 36 percent of the class grade, Cleaver said. Later, Cleaver said the boycotters could compile read- ing packets and deliver a presentation to make up for the missed exam. Diana Williams, The Daily Texan, U. of Texas, Austin Students walk out of econ test... Nine U. of Texas, Austin students refused to take an upper-division economics test because they believed grading systems do not indicate the amount a student has learned about the subject material. Homero Lucero, a senior, said he and the other students boycotted theirexam because the class taught them to view society critically. "The point of the class is to look around at the institutions and analyze them critically before making a stand," Lucero said. "Since kinder- garten, we've had academic hoops placed before us and were told to jump. This time, we took our own way and went around them." Harry Cleaver, the pro- fessor teaching the course, said the boy- cott occurred after one student addressed the class, ripped his test in half and urged classmates to leave. "The thought crossed my mind to give them Amnesty granted... More than 105 stu- dents showed up on Parking Amnesty Day last winter semester to pay reduced fines for parking tickets issued by the West Virginia U. Department of Public Safety Originally planned for two days, the number of students that showed up to pay their fines encouraged U-DPS to add two days. Some students com- plained about DPS being disorganized. "What is taking time is several people don't have their tickets, and we have to take time to research and find them. It's pretty tough to be organized when you've got that many people," said Bobby Roberts, interim director of DPS. Roberts said it was hard for DPS to esti- mate how many people would show up to pay the reduced fine. * Sean Chadwell, Daily Athenaeum, West Virginia U. Mainstreaming athletes ... U. of Miami faculty are advocating mainstream housing for student athletes, but the athletes appear to prefer separate apartments. During a spring meeting, UM stu- dent government leaders and fac- ulty discussed requiring athletes to live in dorms. Connie Nickel, assis- tant events manager of the athletic department, said she opposes the plan. "They can learn from upper- classmen by living with them," she said. SG Senator Max Adams said, "If athletes want to live with other athletes, they have that right." Suzanne Trutie, Miami Hurricane, U. of Miami U.. Couple trade books for world bike trip ... When Dave Cranman finishes- dthe requirements for a bachelor's degree from U. of Georgia last spring, he and his wife Christine plan to bicycle around the world. "We've, thought about trains and cars, but you can't really see much like that. You're always thinking of objectives, of hurrying up and getting there, wherever there is," he said. They planned to start in Savannah, and ride between 30 to 100 miles a day to Quebec before taking a plane or boat to Greenland. From there they'll go to Europe. Chris Clonts, The Red and Black, U. of Georgia Students of Georgia Institute of Technology are working to make the univer- sity and the city of Atlanta the most attrac- tive bid for host city of the 1996 Summer t Olympics. The bid would bring new facilities to the campus, which would serve as the Olympic Village for the event. Atlanta, along with Manchester, Great Britain; Melbourne, Australia; Toronto, Canada; Belgrade, Yugoslavia; and Athens, Greece, is being considered for the bid by the International Olympic Committee, which will make its decision in 1990. Ray Moore, a member of the Atlanta Organizing Committee Board of Directors, is working with various schools of engineer- ing to produce a presentation that would give a tour of Atlanta's Olympic venues.L Students are considering programs to advertise Tech, such as a mock Olympic competition between the Greeks of Georgia Tech and of U. of Georgia. The Student Coalition for the 1996 Summer Olympics, a group organized to coordinate the pre-selection activities, also intends to hold a luncheon with members of the administration to establish contact between students and faculty. Faculty adviser to the Coalition Mike Furman said students will play a major role in the Atlanta bid process and that Tech students were the first to respond with an organization of such magnitude.

Posing as a Massachusetts Institute of Technology transfer student down on his luck, a con artist was arrested after he wormed his way into living in Techwood Residence Hall for about two weeks, then vanished with approximately $2,000 and a com- puter. A Tech resident invited "Otis Jackson," as he was known, to move into his dorm room after his previous room- mate left the country. He became suspi- cious when he returned to his room one afternoon and discovered his computer and television missing. Jackson explained to another student as he walked down the hall with the goods that he had lost his key and did not want the items stolen. Jackson threatened the roommate when confronted about the belongings and the police were called. Jackson has been arrested four times, twice on Tech's campus. Stacey Herdlein, The Technique, Georgia Institute of Technology Chapel, gallows scene snare comments ... Several members of the Duke U. com- munity were upset that a scene from the film "The Handmaid's Tale," which included a woman being hanged, was filmed in front of the university's chapel. Minister to the University William Willimon said, "Duke Chapel is a sacred place to many of us, and the scene going on seems to be kind of a violation of that sacredness." Assistant Minister to the University Nancy Feree-Clark said that because the quadrangle in front of the chapel is university property, the chapel staff had no input in the decision to film the gallows scene there. After Willimon read the script he maintained that he preferred the university not place the gallows scene in front of the chapel, but decided not to hinder the university's decision. Shannon Smith, The Chronicle, Duke U. ... Students arrested for false IDs ... Eleven Duke U. students were arrested in March for fabricating 44 false Florida driver's licenses, a Durham County, N.C. police officer said. The students took pic- tures of minors and pasted them over photographs on legitimate Florida licenses then photographed the docu- ments and laminated the photographs, said Chief of Alcohol Beverage Control Stephen O'Brien. Although it has not been established if money was exchanged for the licenses, students in Pegram Dormitory were making the documents for themselves and other dorm residents, O'Brien said.

Neither's partner Klan secretly visits campus.. Ku Klux Klan members accepted a secret invitation from a professor to speak last spring at State U. of New York, Binghamton. Permission for them to speak on campus had been denied twice by the campus radio station's student board of directors because of security costs. Professor Richard Hofferbert did not tell adminis- tors or his students that Klan members would speak, but said students had indi- cated interest earlier in hearing them. Andrea Hyman, a student in the class said the visit was worthwhile. "It was a good forum and most students were glad for an oportunity to listen," she said. Hofferbert criticized colleagues and administration for lack of support. "Not one administrator or faculty member has appeared in ... defense of Jeffersonian principles."m Eric Anderson, Pipe Dream, State U. of New York, Binghamton.

Sales of padded bras and silicone injections soared. But along came the likes of Twiggy, and every- thing changed. Sorry, guys; the age of bodacious ta-tas is over. With the recent surge in plastic surgery technology, reduction mammoplasty, or breast reduc- tion operations, are becoming more common. Despite what many think, breast reductions are done for mainly medical pur- poses rather than cosmetic ones, plastic surgeon Dr. Alfred E. Falcone said. Brooke, a junior, had her breasts reduced during Christmas break her sophomore year to alleviate the constant backaches she suffered. "What a lot of people don't real- ize is that they (large breasts) are uncomfortable," she said. "Plus, I hated the way it looked. My chest made me appear much heavier than I was. I got to a point where I was miserable." Backaches are only one harm- ful effect of overly large breasts, according to Falcone. Neck- strains, rashes in the breast folds and painful creases on the tops of the womens' shoulders caused by stiff bra straps are also common. Falcone added women with large breasts are restricted from many athletic activities. "Even running to answer the phone was painful," Brooke said. Jill, a sophomore who had her breasts reduced while still in "It sounds so stupid to think your chest size can change your life, but it does" high school, also suffered from chronic backaches, but her biggest complaint was not being able to wear what she liked. Jill decided to have the surgery done during February of her senior year. Brooke and Jill are only two of the many women their age who have had breast reductions. Falcone said most of his patients are either in their early 20s or post-childbearing years (around 42 years old). The American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal gave the follow- ing age breakdown of women having reductions: under 18, 9 percent; 19-24,47 percent; 35-50, 34 percent; 50 and over, 10 per- cent. Once a woman has decided to have abreast reduction, she must go to a plastic surgeon for a con- sultation. According to Jill, it is then that you decide what size and shape you would like your new bustline to be. After that, the patient sched- ules a surgery date. The actual operation takes three or more hours, and the woman usually has to remain in the hospital for several days. According to a brochure admin- istered by Falcone, the surgery entails several incisions across and on the underside of the breasts. The surgeon removes excess tissue, fat and skin on the sides of the breast. Falcone tells his patients there will be some pain following the operation. He said the two major side effects are possible numbness in the breasts and a probable inabil- ity to breast feed. According to Jill, the results definitely outweigh the pain. "Yes, it's a week ofbeinguncom- fortable, but it's something that changes your whole life." For Jill, one advantage of her new bustline was being able to See REDUCE, Page 27 SEPTEMBER ANSWERS F O A M C R.T C OY R NT WH O A A RE A T O P T U T O R C A B L E M E N O S U A R E A !
