DR. CHARLES YOUNG
Young Retires
As Infirmary
Staff Enlarges
By KAREL BROOKS
Dr. Charles T Young, director of student health, will re
tire from the University on June 30. following eleven years as
director of the Gilbert Memorial Infirmary
Dr. Young came to the Univer
sity in 1957 upon retirement from
the U. S. Army where he had
served for 30 years. His immedi
ate plans for the future include
mostly traveling. He says that he
will “never be happy doing noth
ing” and he feels that he will
probably return to the medical
profession in some form in the
near future.
According to Dr. Young, the
biggest problem the University
Infirmary has faced in recent
years is the tremendous increase
in student enrollment He said
that the patient rate has been
more than doubled during his
stay at the University. The medi
cal facility treated 43.000 patients
this year.
“This infirmary has had its
share of epidemics with the big
gest ones in the winters of 1958.
1962, and 1968." Dr. Y’oung firmly
stated that the most dramatic
and worst one was the Influenza
epidemic experienced this past
winter
According to Dr Young, the
reason the increased patient load
has been a problem is because
the Infirmary facilities have
changed so little in the last few
years. He did enjoy speaking of
projected plans for a new infir
mary and the upcoming increase
in staff and facilities for the new
director of the Infirmary.
Referring to the 1968 epidemic.
Dr. Young said. “A most critical
situation was created by sick
nesses on the staff of the Infir
mary.” Out of five doctors, two
were out sick, leaving only three
to carry the load of 40% of the
student body
Several nurses were also out
sick, complicating the problem
The limited staff saw 7300 pa
tients in January alone. This was
an increase of 2.000 patients over
any other previous month.

Political Science Faculty
Pick Possible Candidates
By RANDALL FOSKEY
As daily events drastically al
ter the already constantly
changing political picture in
America, the Red and Black
asked several members of the
political science faculty for
their views on the current elec
tion year situation.
The only point upon which all
the faculty seemed to be in
agreement is that nothing can
be predicted for certain -
especially, for some reason, this
year.
Three of the four professors
contacted agreed that Richard
Nixon will probably be the next
President of the United States.
The holdout felt that current
Vice-President Hubert Hum
phrey would be elected in Nov
ember.
They all felt that if the nomi
nating conventions were held
this month, the likely nominees
would be Nixon and Humphrey.
However. Dr. William O Chi-
tic and Dr. Thomas R. Dye
both made the point that nei
ther one of these two candi
dates would be particularly sa
tisfactory. According to Dr.
Dye. "neither of these two can
didates will bring about any so
lution to the problems of war
and domestic violence. '
Dr. Chitic added that the
election of either Nixon or
Humphrey would result in what
he referred to as "old politics.’’
Asked what he felt the major
election issues would be, Dr
Davis A. Gugin. professor of
American Political Thought,
said that, "American involve
ment in Vietnam has been de
fused.’’ He does not believe that
this will be an important issue
because, all of the candidates
support the negotiations in Paris

Crowd Responds
To Ian and Sylvia
By BRUCE FITZPATRICK
Ian and Sylvia Tyson per
formed to a crowd estimated at
2000 persons in front of Memor
ial Hall. The spectators were
spralled out on the lawn, sitting
in chairs, lying on the steps to
Memorial Hall and some even
brought blankets and beer to re
fresh themselves.
The concert got off to a bad
start due to faulty speakers,
but the trouble was soon re
medied and Ian and Sylvia gave
an unforgetable concert.
They started off with a country
and western style song and pro
gressed through ballads and folk
rock.
One of the more popular songs
of the night was “Gifts Are For
Giving" a song written by Syl
via and one which Ian called
"a motown. country rock n roll
type of tiling.”
Ian admitted during the con
cert that he and Sylvia did not
collaborate when writting songs
'Hiis makes for more harmony
in the house,” Ian confessed.
In closing the first half of the
concert, Ian and Sylvia sang
'24 Hours From Tulsa" which
brought a thundering round of
applause.
During the second half of the
concert Ian joked with Lhe aud
ience about the type of songs they
were going to play.

An incinerator on the eighth
floor of the new Graduate Stud
ies Research Building exploded
Monday afternoon causing none
of the occupants injury, but re

engineers estimated $2,500 to
$4,000 damage
Captain E. M. Nix of the
campus police said the walls of
the incinerator room used for
disposal of laboratory animals
were “moved outward two to
three inches.” He noted that
the gas-fired incinerator appar-
endy failed to ignite properly

and a song from New Found-
land as a “Newfie".
The second part of the con

led to the explosion.
There were only four people
on the floor when the incident
ocrured. it was reported. James
"Leroy” Patrick and Ora Lee

the University, were in a near

and thought a door had
slammed,” Patrick said. When
he entered the hall nothing
seemed unusual, and then he
tried the door leading to tlie in

"The door was so jammed we
couldn't push it open, or kick it,
When asked about the increase
Sims replied. "We would like to
make available more services to
the students since enrollment
has doubled since 1959 and the
health fee has only been in
creased $1 00.”
He also added that medicine
has increased in price and with
the increase in the health fee
there would be a tremendous
.imount of personal services pro
vided for the students.
Sims stated that the name of
the infirmary will be changed to
the University Health Service
and will contain two untis.
There will be a medical unit
headed by a chief of medicine
and assisted by six full time phy
sicians.
Also there will be a council-
ing and mental health unit com
posed of two psychiatrists, a cli
nical psychologist and five coun
selors.
Both of these units will be un

Curtis who is presently director
of the student psychiatric section
of university health services at
the University of Kentucky.
Dr. Curtis is expected to arrive
at the University in July and take
the place of Dr. Young who
will retire at the end of this
month.

not harmed, however Patrick
added, "If I had been in there I
wouldn’t have had a chance.”
Although the incinerator is a
new one, it had been used be
fore by Patrick for burning ex
perimental rabbits, guinea pigs,
and rats. He explained that this
incinerator is different from the
older models used on campus in

UGA Professor Recalls Robert Kennedy
By DR. RICHARD CHAPPELL
(Ed. Note: I)r. Chappel prior to coming to the University
served as chairman of the United States Board of Parole. He
was named to that position by then Attorney General Robert
Kennedy. The Red and Black invited Dr. Chappell, assistant
professor in the Institute of Government, to comment on his
impressions of Senator Kennedy).
"Since the cruel assassination of Senator Robert F. Kenne
dy. many persons have written about his personal characteris
tics. Tile editors of The Red and Black have asked me for my
impressions of Bobby'
Although I served as Chairman of the United States Board
of Parole by designation of Attorney General Kennedy, during
most of his tenure as Attorney General I cannot claim that I
was ever one of his intimates. I had occasion to sit in on
meetings with him. visit in his home at Hickory Hill and at
tend his office Christmas parties. But, most of my day-to-day
official dealings were with his Deputy Attorney Generals. By
ron White, now a Justice of the Supreme Court, and Nicholas
Katzenbach.
As Attorney General, he never attempted to influence the
actions of the Parole Board which is an autonomous body. Not
once did he recommend for or against the granting of a pa
role He gave complete support to me as chairman. Our rela
tions could not have been more harmonious and pleasant I
liked him and respected his sincereity
My first official meeting with Robert Kennedy was soon
after he became Attorney General The entire Board of Parole
of eight members met with him by appointment in his office
On arrival he was in shirt sleeves, but perhaps out of respect
for our one lady member, Mrs Eva Bowring, a former U. S
Senator from Nebraska, he donned his jacket and received us
very cordially. It was at this meeting that he announced my
designation as Chairman of the Board to replace a Republi
can. It so happened that I was the only Democrat on tile
Board at the time since all members, including myself, had
been appointed by President Eisenhower So he had no choice
in the matter if he wanted a member of his own party in the
policy making position of Chairman of the Board He did how
ever leave me in the position after the appointment of two
other democrats
Some persons considered Robert Kennedy ‘cold’ and ‘hard’.
He was sometimes referred to as an efficient machine.’ To
me. he was determined, but never a machine' At times,
especially in his earlier days at the Department of Justice be
fore the assassination of the President, he was light-hearted,
full of wit and humor, and always quick in repartee After his
brother's death, his face showed the most painful grief imagi
nable During the days immediately following the President s
death. Bobby' as he wanted to be called by his associates, ap
peared to take little interest in the affairs of the Department,
leaving them to his able Deputy. Nick' Katzenbach
Perhaps Bobby Kennedy's warmth showed through most
when he was in the presence of his own or others' children.
They occupied much of his off-hours lime They were the focal
interest in his clever Chrismas cards which he sent to his
triends and co-workers Their childish art decorated his pri
vate office walls
At Ills staff and family Christmas parUes he permitted the
c hldren to cook hot dogs at his office fireplace The underpri
vileged children of Wasington came in droves to the great
hall' in the Department on another day for their Christmas
party to receive presents, eat goodies, hear performers, such
as the Smothers Brothers, and to ride a one horse slay around
the inner court yard of the Department.
Some persons have compared Bobby unfavorably with his
brother, the President I recall sitting in the first session of
the White House Conference on Drug Abuse at which Bobby
presided and the President gave the opening speech At the-
broak,' a gentleman sitting next to me commented “Look at
the difference in those two brothers? 'Jack' has tnendlv
warmth aiid you can feel the good-will moving in both direc
tions between him and his audience, while Bobby is as cold as
a fish I had to admit that the President had more color but I
argued that "Bobby was just as smart if not smarter.”
Many of us in the Department of Justice felt that Bobby
was very helpful to the President and did much thinking and
administering for him His governmental duties embraced far
more than running the Department of Justice
As an example ol Bobby's humor I remember the day he
took part in a little ceremony in honor of James V. Bennett
who was retiring as Director of the Federal Bureau of Pris
ons When Bennett cut into the cake that Bobby had given him
he discovered a minature saw Bobby allowed as how the Di
rector would have to "saw his way out" of the Prison Bureau.
One odd thing I noted about Bobby Kennedy was his reluc
tance to partake ol food at formar dinners. Invariably he
would arrive late, after every one had eaten and make his
speeches. I have seen this happen at Federal Judges conler-
enees and at small luncheons in his own office private dining
room at which time he was host. Only once did I see him eat
a meal along with others Perhaps he had an aversion to ban
quet food He appeared to enjoy the company of people and
was always at the White House Judiciary receptions given bv
the President and Mrs. Jackie Kennedy My wife Annette and
I were at the party given by the Kennedys the night before
they left on the fatal trip to Texas. It was a beautiful affair as
only they could give
How stunned we all were at the Department of Justice a
few hours later when the news of the shooting came And now
Bobby like his illustrious brother has been cut down in the
prime of life
While ! did not agree entirely with Bobby Kennedy's politi
cal philosophy. I did admire and respect his courage and abili
ty, and it is with a very heavy heart that I realize he has
been removed from us in such a tragic manner.”
