Prior to fall quarter, P.E.
and military were not in
cluded in the academic cu
mulative average Beginning
fall quarter, these subjects
counted one quarter hour
credit each averaged with re
gular academic courses.
PROGRAMMING MIX-UP
Parker explained that the
mix-up occurcd when the
Bond was quoted as saying
he "sympathized with those
who wouldn't support the
draft.”
Although Bond was subse
quently seated in the House,
he has remained a controver
sial figure because of his
stand on civil rights and the
war in Viet Nam.

and military grades for all

ing the fall term
“We can't process all stu
dents in the same manner."
Parker said. “We must de
vise some way to program
for all students and take into
account each individual
case." he added
Although many people were
affected by the change in
procedure, in most cases the
grades for P.E. and military
did not affect the overall av- 1
erage enough to be noticed
Parker pointed out a case
in which a girl with a 94 av
erage lost approximately 1
point since she had a C-plus
average in all her P E.
courses.
Parker explained that the
administration is now in the
process of determining which
grades will be used and
which will not. “Grades
which will hurt students who
entered the University prior
to fall of 1967 will probably
not be used,” Parker said
Parker also explained some
of the facets of pre
registration for winter quar
ter.
Some schedules were
changed in regard to the
specified time for a certain
class This was done "to in
sure the desired course would
be obtained,” Parker said

Prominent Economist Dies
Editor's Note: Ur. David McCord Wright was one of the
United States' foremost economists. He was active in campus
affairs. One of his recent appearances on campus was in
debate with Victor Perlo, a Marxist, last spring quarter.
The following is a tribute by the executive committee
of the University Young Republican Club
The University of Georgia Young Republican Club notes
with deepest regrets the death of its sponsor. Dr David
McCord Wright, Chairman of the University Economics De
partment.
Dr Wright, a.ways a controversial and stimulating cam
pus figure, was one of the most distinguished faculty mem
bers at the University His great intelligence and careful
scholarship will be sorely missed
Dr Wright was above all a staunch, uncompromising in
dividualist. He refused to seek that cheap "respectability”
acquired by remaining silent about great wrongs to the det
riment of the people He was in short an American, in the
finest sense of the word
All of us who were priviledged to know him left his loss
keenly We can take consolation, however, in the assurance
that the ideals and principles he articulated live on in the
hearts and minds of his students
Submitted by Sam Dickson.
Vice President
The Red and Black staff joins administration, faculty
and students in mourning the death of Dr Wright. In the
words of his contemporary Dr Nick Beadles of the Econ
omics Department, "We have lost a great economist and

Guns in 42 Points
By BUTCH SCOTT
"Pistol Pete" Maravich displaying all the fire power that
has made him the nation's top gun. blasted his wav to 42
points and led his LSU teammates to a heart-stopping 79-76
victory over Georgia last night.
The sizzling sophomore was
everything past games have
built him up to be as his
passing and shooting put an
abrupt halt to the Bulldogs'
six-game winning streak and
left Georgia with a 2-1 SEC
record
For his night's work Mar
avich made good on 14 for 37
from the floor and hit 14 of
17 charity stripe His final
two free throws put the game
out of reach as the lead was
stretched to three with two
seconds remaining
A packed Coliseum crowd
esitmated at halftime as
11.024 turned out to see the
much heralded boy wonder
and support the losing Geor
gia effort.
“Maravich is a great com
petitor," said coach Ken
Rosemond "He was the
difference."
Rosemond also addeu that
neither team played well in
the second half although his
Bulldogs out-scored the Ti
gers 37-33 and narrowed the
margin to a respectable three
points at the end LSU had
built up a 46-39 lead in the
closing minutes of the first
half
Georgia placed four of its
starters in double figures as
it battled Maravich and com
pany down to the final five
seconds Guard Jerry Epling
was the Bulldog leader with
21 points while Dick Mc
Intosh and Jim Youngblood
each contributed 16 Bob
Uenhard added 13 and Ray
Jeffords scored seven
Senior Jeffords drew the
unenviable assignment o f
guarding Maravich and was
tremendous until fouling out

Once Jeffords drew his fourth
foul 5-8 McIntosh matched up
with the 6-5 sensation and
harrassed him to the end
Georgia plays its next four

Steam Heating
Develops Leak
Approximately 5,000 people were affected last Friday,
when a pipe in the heating system developed a hole which
caused nine dorms and Bolton Cafeteria to lose all heating
services
The leak, about one-half an
inch wide, was in the conden
sation return line and was
caused by deterioration of
pipes, according to John H
Green, assistant director of
utilities in Plant Operations
The steam seen coming
from the ground in front of
Stegman Hall on Lumpkin
Street was caused by this
leak This visible steam was
visible several days before
die leak became large
enough to cut off all the heat
Heating services were
discontinued at 1 p m Friday
The leak was repaired by
9 15 that night and heating
was resumed between 10 and
11 pm
The dorms affected were
Creswell. Russell. Brumby.
Boggs, and Clark Howell
Bolton Cafeteria had to use
paper plates and cups be
cause of the absence of hot
water
Other leaks have developed
but none were serious enough
to discontinue heating serv
ices These will be repaired
and the hole on Lumpkin
Street filled for safety rea
sons During spring break
the entire system will lie
completely reworked and
more piping will be laid

' Is the Athens-Clarke Coun
ty more of a problem area
for car owners than the rest
k of the state'’ Are car thefts
in Athens being investigated
by local law enforcement
agencies' 1 Is there a hope for
, solutions to the problems of
automobile vandalism in the
near future’
The Red and Black in an
effort to shed some light on
these areas of concern, has
talked with local police offi-
* cials and insurance agents
According 1° figures re
leased by Athens Chief of Po
lice E E Hardy, over 150
cars were reported stolen
during the past yeai 11967 >
Of those reported 140 were
actual offenses
Chief Hardy explained that
many of the automobiles re
ported stolen by Athens resi
dents are often limes only
"lost" temporarily
Twenty-nine arrests were
made during the year That
figure refers only to arrests
and not to convictions An
average of 7 8 cars were re
covered each month last year
while there were an average
of 10 1 offenses occurring
While the recovery rate ap
pears fairly good. Chief Har
dy noted that most of the re
covered automobiles were in
a stripped condition The
Athens Chief also pointed out
that a great many of the re
coveries are made in sur
rounding counties other than
Clarke
According to Mr Ewell
Jay. local insurance agent
for Allstate Insurance Com
pany. the rates for compre
hensive insurance in Clarke
County are comparable to the
rates of 144 other counties in
Georgia
Noting that comprehensive
rates cover other instances
than just theft, the agent
took the example of insur
ance on a new Chevrolet The
highest comprehensive rale
that would be charged would
be the rale charged in Clarke
County and the other 144
counties Yet that rate, for
an adult driver is $5 higher
than the same coverage in
Bibb County, and 86 higher
than equal coverage in Floyd
and Dougherty counties
