Amy Carter daughter of former President Jimmy Carter says her parents are neither excited nor upset about her civil disobedience. The 19 year old Brown University sophomore in Providence says she would like a jury trial for her latest arrest at a November 24 demonstration against CIA recruiting at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her first arrest was in April 1985 at the South African Embassy in Washington and she was later arrested at IBM offices in Providence protesting South Africa.
