Aderhold Signs
Viet Campaign
Officially Begun
By DIANNE MARTINY
Pres. 0. C. Aderhold was
the first to siprn the Affirma
tion : Viet Nam opinion poll
Monday, formally lannchinp
the drive on this eampus.
In the brief meeting attend
ed by three eampus leaders,
the president made public his
personal statement to Remar
Sutton, general chairman of the
drive.
Tlie president stated that
too often other people envy
America for her glamorous
luxuries. “They do not un
derstand,” he continued,
“that these achievements
are the result of a way of
life that produces intelli
gent, responsible and dedi
cated men.”
The president looked on the
affirmation drive as a con
structive contribution to na
tional politics and to a nation
that is becoming increasingly
disturbed by student revolt.
The president’s signing oc
curred .just hours after the
unanimous approval of a
similar proposal by the Geor
gia Senate. Senators Julian
Webb and William Gregory
presented the proposal in the
first meeting of the 100(1
session.
The affirmation poll is a
document of opinions, as Mike
Shepherd, minister of publi
cations, was quick to point out.
The sheets being circulated on
campus provide space to check
a yes or no response. Although
the affirmative reply is de
sired, negatives will be ac
cepted.

The opinion poll is being
conducted on 4 7 of Georgia's
50 college campuses. Schools
participating are those lacking
a formal student government.
Reeaiiso Georgia Is the
home of many armed forces
installations, many GI's in
Viet Nam call Georgia their
home.
And as Senators Webb and
Gregory pointed out, “the least
we can give them is our sup
port!”
The affirmation program is
designed to culminate in a stu
dent rally Feb. 12 in the At

4 Dogs Close in Overtime,
But Rudd Posts 11th Win
By RON TAYLOR
Red and Black Sport** Kdltor
A lot of sweat fell on Adolph Rupp’s cigar Monday night
before his second-ranked Kentucky Wildcats escaped from
the Coliseum with a shaky 69-65 double-overtime win over
Coach Ken Rosemond’s never-say-die Bulldogs.
The sweat began to pour
when the Bulldogs took the
opening tip and forward Frank
Harscher went in for a layup
and a 2-0 lead for the Bull
dogs.
Louie Pampier tied things
up for the Wildcats, and shots
by Larry Conley and Thad
Jaracz gave Rupp a chance to
relight his cigar, while his
team held a four-point lead.
A free-throw by forward
Ray Jeffords cut the lead
to three points. Pampier
added two more for Ken
tucky, and two free-throws
by renter Jerry Waller
added two more for the
Bulldogs.
The Wildcats pulled ahead
by five; but with 8:49 left to
play, Harscher's layup brought
the Bulldogs within two.
Harscher passed to guard Dick
McIntosh, and McIntosh added
two points to the Bulldog
score, while Rupp added teeth
marks to his cigar, as the game
became tied at 18-18.
Rupp lit another cigar, and
pushed his Wildcats into high
gear. Kentucky pulled ahead
by 13. and carried a 34-21 lead
and hopes of an easy victory
to the dressing room at half
time.
Kentucky got the second
half tip, but the Bulldogs stole
the ball. A jump shot by guard
Lee Martin added two points
for the Bulldogs, and the Wild
cats’ calm veteran coach be
gan to chew on his cigar again.
McIntosh brought the Bull
dogs within nine points but
the Wildcats pulled farther
ahead again. A layup by Waller
brought the Bulldogs within
seven I^ater, another layup by
Waller brought the Bulldogs
within six. Waller came
through once more with a free-
throw to cut the lead to five.
Martin hit from tlie out
side to rut the lead to three
witli W:45 left to play. From
that time on tlie two teams
fought on equal ground.
Kentucky pulled aheod by

Ethel Chaffin, president of
WSGA, said Monday that the
poll would provide statistical
videnoe to present to the ad
ministration next quarter when
women’s rules will bo reviewed
and possibly revised.
According to Miss Chaffin,
tlie position of tlie WSGA Is
weakened when they must
support rules which are not
respected and which are not
generally obeyed.
The questions In the poll,
dealing with controversial
rules, were set up by the rules
committee of the association.
Tho questions must be approv
ed by the Bean of Women’s of
fice before they can he used.
“If the questions are omit
ted or revised until they lose
their meaning," said Miss
Chaffin, “it will indicate to
us that the administration is
afraid of the outcome."
The poll will provide a place
for the student’s comments on
each of the rules.
“We have to stand for our
own interests," she said.
The president said that
she hoped the |mi1I would be
approved quickly ami that it
could be conducted and tab
ulated within the quarter.
"As representatives of the
women students on this cam
pus,” said Miss Chaffin, “we
cannot afford lo close our eyes
to the fact Hint these rules are
not being followed.
“We want to represent the
students' feelings ahold these
rules,” she continued, “and
have a postlve voice in these
mat ten.”
Another activity sponsored
this quarter by WSGA was a
welcome party for new stu
dents. Tlie students were given
an oppoitunity to discuss the
rules test which is given to all
women students.
Miss Chaffin said that the
percentage of failures on the
test was extremely low follow
ing the discussion session.
"A welcome letter was also
sent to new students, In con-
