Key to design called
creativity, Flexibility
United Press International
Even it you’re short on cash,
your home can look like the cas
tle it is meant to be, says a profes
sor of environmental design in
teriors.
Ehe key is creativity and tie
xibility, says Bruce Havens, of
Syracuse University, Syracuse,
N.Y.
Havens has experimented
with a number of designs that
.work particularly well for peo
pie with more time than money.
One of his favorites is wall
coverings that can add sparkle
while hiding defects.
“People who move often fre
quently need some sort of a wall
covering to disguise plaster
cracks and so forth,” he said in a
telephone interview.
“You can take almost any
thing that is inexpensive and
make it look expensive by put
ting it in the right surround
ings.”
Any paper product can be
laminated to a wall with either
wheat or vinyl paste, Havens
said He has even used recycled
silver wrappers from cigarette
packages.
“We wound up with a won
derful silver room and it didn’t,
cost a tiling except for the glue.”
Other possibilities include
colored tissue paper, plain
brown wrapping paper or scenic
pictures cut from magazines.
For renters, who are likely to
move more often, Havens said
flexibility is essential.
“Don’t invest in a 7-foot sofa
that will fit in one place but not
another.”
Instead, he suggests modular
units, such as two smaller
couches or tables, or inter
changeable bookshelves that can
be rearranged with every move.
Interesting but unique shapes
can also spell disaster.
“The straightei the hue ihe
easier it is to pack and rear
range,” he said.
Salvation Army and garage
sales are still ihc bargain hun
ter’s paradise.
“Bui anyone who is consider
ing that has to be an aware con
sumer,” he said. “Look for
something that is structurally
sound, whether in vogue or
not.”

LOUISVILLE A Universi
ty of Louisville professor has
Written a timely book pull mg the
Armenian-Turkish massacres of
Llie World Wai I era into what
he believes is the proper pros-
Ihe book by Dr. Justin
McCarthy, “Muslims and
Minorities,” is scheduled to be
published in early December by
New York University Press.
Dr McCarthy, 38. associate
with your Social Seen professor of Middle Eastern lus
her or similar perw
her.
urglars are interestedim
ig what they steal and
ikely to take items that
ted, the institute says.
Inrv and demographer at the
university of Louisville, has ex
tensively investigated the con
flict between the Turks and
Armenians and the internation
al controversy over the alleged
“genocide” of the Armenians by
Turks between 1915 and 1923.
I he problem has made front
page news in recent years with
the assassinations of Turkish di
plomats in several countries by
terrorists identifying themselves
as belonging to Armenian re
venge groups.
McCarthy became interested
in the Middle East while serving
as a Peace Corps volunteer in
Turkey during 1967-1969.
He said in an interview that
most of the Armenians still in
Turkey now live in Istanbul, tHfe
capital. He said Turkey is now a
very safe place to live, since the
fighting between leftist and.
rightist elements has ended.
“Most Turks are not aware of
any Armenian problem,” he
said, “However, if the diploma
tic assassinations continue, it
could cause popular resent
ment.”
He said Turks at the moment
are more concerned with
Greece, and the treatment of
Turkish minorities in Thrace, as
well as the question of Cyprus
McCarthy takes issue with the
long-held belief that 1.5 to 2.5
million Armenians died in mas
sacres between 1915 and 1923.
“ I he Armenian casualties
were approximately 600,000, a
far cry from the previously
accepted figures,” he said.
“There were only 1.5 million
Armerrians in the whole area (of
Turkey). That would have
meant that they had to import
some Armenians to reach the
quoted figures.
