that an unfavorable University-
City relationship exists and ap
parently are planning to take
action toward solving the prob
lem, according to Student Body
President Rullie Harris.
Following a recent meeting
with Mayor Julius Bishop and
the Athens City Council, Harris
expressed confidence that the
situation would improve. He
said that lack of effective com
munication between the City
and University has in the past
resulted in a total unawareness
of existing problems on the
part of Athens officials.
Mayor Bishop and Harris
have discussed the matter on
several occasions. During the
initial meeting, the president
a number of student complaints
such as high prices, poor ser
vice, and a generally poor at
titude of Athenians toward stu
dents.
At that time Harris felt that
either the officials did not un
derstand the problems or that
their awareness was not ac
companied by a willingness to

(logs and North Carolina
State promises to be one of
the best bowls in the nation
and may produce the first
sellout crowd in the Bowl’s
history.
Both team’s statistics and
schedules have them evenly
matched for the 2:15 EST
game that will be played In
Memphis Memorial Stadium
and telecast nationwide by
ABC.
The pairing of Georgia (7-3)
and State (8-2) has matched
two of the South’s toughest de
fenses. For this season the
Wolfpack has the edge on
points allowed. State was scored
upon for 8.7 points-per-game
while Georgia gave up 10.5. On
the offensive lodged the Bull
dogs have a five-point edge.
Georgia scored 25 points-per-
game to the Wolfpack’g 20.
Both were rated high in the
press-service polls before late
season losses dropped them in
to the lower rankings. State
finished 17th in the UPI Poll
with Georgia right behind In
18th position.
As of Friday 32,000 tickets
had been moved with indica
tions that the game would be
a sellout. A breakdown showed
that of the 50,164 available
tickets, 20,000 had been sold
and 12,000 had been sent to
the two schools.
Presently tickets are being
gobbled up at the rate of over
1,000 per day with more than
a week remaining before game
time.
Mrs. Virginia Whitehead,
University athletic ticket man
ager, called the demand for
tickets brisk. Cost for the
tickets is $6 and Georgia must
return its share of tickets by
Dec. 13.
Last year’s game, won by
Miami 14-7 over VP1, sold
39,101 tickets—a Liberty Bowl
record. However, the actual at
tendance was some 15,000 less
due to early morning sleet and
freezing rain.
The game will be nationally
televised by ABC-TV with a
blackout in the Memphis area.
The Tangerine Bowl game will
be shown in the Memphis area.
John A. (Jack) Williamson
Jr., a 22-year-old University
Journalism major, asked for
the injunction in connection
with a suit seeking $50,000 in
punitive damages from the
Clarke County Board of Regi
strars.
Williamson, Republi
can write-in candidate for Ath
ens mayor, said that the board
refused him tho right to regis
ter as a qualified voter and
thereby disqualified him In tho
mayorlal race.
"Tho citizens of Athens
should be able to choose, not
annoint their mayor,” William
son said. Tho campaign for
office is the basis for American
freedom, and with no opposi
tion Athenians are giving Bish
op (present mayor of Athens)
rubber stamp approval.” Wil-
j liam T. Garrard of Athens rep-
I resented Williamson.

Judge W. A. Bootle, said, “The
court doesn’t minimize the
right to vote, so we are holding
the election ns scheduled.”
Williamson and co-plaintiff
Jack Brookner, a University
graduate student in economics,
were denied the right to vote
by Registrar Allene Carteaux,
on the grounds that students
are not permanent residents of
Athens and do not intend to live
here for any length of time.
Both Williamson and Brookner
claim that It is their intent to
become permanent and legal
residents of Clarke County and
Athens.
In announcing hls decision,
Bootle said, “We all know thnt
generally and by and largo a
soldier doesn't become a resi
dent of a camp which he serves
and a student doesn't become
a resident because of matricula
tion.” He further stated, how
ever, that this did not mean
a student never becomes a resi
dent.
Referring to Williamson’s
and Brookner’s qualifications
for registration, he said, “If
they are (qualified), they are
by the skin of their teeth.
Someone has to decide If they
are eligible. This person is the
registrar. They could appeal to
the city council and then the
courts.

of the question of student vot
ing rights in the city of Athens.
When questioned, "Do you feel
that students who have lived In !
Athens at least one year should (
be allowed to vote In the city
of Athens?,” all hut one stu
dent replied positively.
Bill Buchanan, a junior from
Decatur, said, “I don’t see why
not. If they have lived here a
year, they ought to be consid
ered residents. You have to live
here and you should have the
right to vote for your represen
tative body.”
Kusan Field, an art major
from Atlanta, said, “Yes, I
think they should hut I don’t
feel enough students would
exercise this right.”
Bunny Nell, a psychology
senior, said, “Right—because
the students are more observant
of government and the political
situation of Athens than the
citizens who live here.”
Mary Ann McCorkle, an Au
gusta frosh, said, “Yes I know
a iot of people who spend more
time in Athens than any place
else. I know one person who
has no home other than Ath
ens: if she can’t call Athena
home, where else can she call
