They were much fun- nier than most of the people on t.v. I ' ll never understand why they do not get more notoriety. —Dana Reeves I thoroughly en- joyed Andrew Young ' s speech. Each time I hear him speak, 1 am filled with inspiration. — Benjamin Roundtree I was extremely im- pressed with Andrew Young ' s speech, and I feel I benefited greatly from hearing his view- points. —Marc Kennedy L ' nivrrsitv L nmn Far Left: Andrew Young came during Martin Lu- ther King Jr. Week to in- spire students.

Kellv Schachner Students exercised their first amendment rights over various local, national, and internation- al issues during the year. They protested by means of marches, t-shirts, and fliers. Local issues, like the praver at football games. the open-container law, and the drinking age sparked lawsuits, prot- ests, and petitions. Vince Sorrentino, The Wizard , tried to generate students support for the lowering of the drinking age to 18 again. David Levitt and Keith Harrell sued the city over the open-con- tainer law, where the law was considered to be un- constitutional. National and interna- tional issues also had an impact on the student body. Students marched from South to North Campus in support of the Chinese rebellion in Beij- ing in June, but the sup- port continued in the fall, with the sell of t-shirts before football games. In addition, the pro-choice activists demonstrated on campus for the abortion issue and sold t-shirts during the Activities Fair in the fall. Many issues occurred over the year. Whatever the issue, UGA students were sure to come out to express them- selves. Right: Pro-choice supporters sell t-shirts and distribute infor- mation about their cause.
