Athletic Director Joel Eaves and "Tartan Purr
Bulldogs, Vols To Test
‘Tartan Turf Before TV
By JIM CLAYTON
During the past two weeks,
Georgia’s football bulldogs have
encountered the name guinea
pigs. Are they tired of the old.
traditional nickname? Certainly
not! But on September 14.
1968. Georgia s gridsters will
serve as guinea pigs for the
University of Tennessee in what
could be one of the biggest
experiments in the history of
Southeastern Conference foot
ball openers.
On the above date. Georgia
will play on an artificial turf,
better known as Tartan, which
has never been played upon be
fore. The opponent SEC Cham
pion Tennessee. The place:
Knoxville. Tennessee. Not only
will hi ick the
stadium to watch the experi
ment. but millions of other foot
ball enthusiasists will watch the
“test” via national television.
Athletic officials in Bulldog
Country have voiced strong di
sapproval of the Volunteers
‘sudden" decision to install the
turf, but the major bone of con
tention seems to be centered
around Tennessee’s handling of
the situation rather than the
use of the grass itself.
Georgia head football coach
Vince Dooley voiced his opinion
by saying. "We are very con
cerned not only with the grass,
which is a new product, but
also the manner in which the
University of Tennessee went
about getting the installation of
it. To install an artificial turf
takes between $200.000-$300.000.
and in order for this type pro
ject to take place you certainly
would make advance plans.
"When we had our SEC meet
ing in Biloxi. Mississippi in
May. Tennessee didn't mention
anything about the possiblity
of putting in this grass. Instead,
they waited until about two
days before their athletic board
was due to meet ami then sent
telegrams to conference mem
bers informing them they were
going to install the grass."
Bulldog officials felt that Ten
nessee should wait at least a
year ami have members of the
conference discuss the matter.
But according to wire and
newspaper reports. Tennessee
officials were quoted as saying
Georgia was the only team to
object to the installation. True?
Not so. according to Dooley.
“We found that at least two
other schools objected and
wanted Tennessee to wait."

Dooley continued. The thing
with which we disagree is that
this type grass has never been
used before, and we think it is en
tirely unfair for our football
team to experiment in an open
ing ball game against Tennes
see on a grass that definitely
has to be to their advantage "
What can Georgia do about
the situation? Dooley says, it
looks as if our hands are tied.
The nationally televised game
is already set. tickets have
been sold and we don’t know of
anything we can do.”
When September 14 rolls

Doan of Women !<ouise McBee met Tuesday with sorority
officers and advisers to discuss what she called “sweeping
changes on this campus."
Attitudes Reflect Differences
Concerning Voting Age Issue
Dean McBee explained the
new curfew regulations that will
affect women students begin
ning in the Fall The regula
tions state that senior women
and those over 21 will have ex
tended or unlimited curfew
Sophomores and Juniors with
parental permission may have
unlimited curfew, and curfew
for Freshman women will be
11:30 p.m. during the week and
1:00 a m. on week-ends.
Closing hours for dormitories
will coincide with curfews for
sophomore and junior women
who do not have parental per
mission for unlimited curfew.
Dorms will be closed at 11:30
p.m on week nights and 1:00
a m. on week-ends.
The group of sorority person
nel discussed systems in which
dormitory security can be
maintained, while residents are
allowed entrance at various
hours during the night. The
Dean of Women's staff hopes
that the University will secure
the dormitories through human
control. This would be handled
by nightwatchmen, the cost of
which is estimated at $50,000 a
year.
Dormitory security can be
maintained mechanically by a
key system or a key-card sys
tem. In each case, a girl desir
ing to come in after closing
hours could sign out a key or
key-card which would open a
door to the dorm.
Other major rules changes
will affect the drinking regula
tion. and the ban on freshman-
operated cars in Clarke County.
Tlx* new rules were approved
Spring quarter by various Uni
versity committees, Ur* Student
Senate, and a majority of the
students voting in the May ref
erendum. All changes will be
effective Fall quarter.
The approved dix ument speci
fies that drinking by University
students is to be in accord with
Georgia law. At present. Geor
gia law prohibits the sale of al
coholic beverages to minors.
Dean McBee forecasts that pos
session of alcohol on the cam
pus will also be prohibited un
der the new regulation.
Changes on car operation reg
ulations lift the ban on fresh
man-operated vehicles in Clarke
County. Freshmen will be al
lowed to operate a car in the
County, but will not be allowed
to maintain one or register one
on the campus.
Dean McBee commented on
the changes by saying. “I am
old-fashioned enough not to like
some of them, but young
enough to accept the inevita
ble "
Along with Dean McBee. Pan
hellenie Adviser Caryl I,enahan
and Counselor to sorority wom

A proposed U S. Constitution
al Amendment allowing all citi
zens 18-years-olci and above to
vote in national elections has
been introduced to Congress by
President Lyndon Johnson.
Currently, only four states, in
cluding Georgia, allow citizens
under 21 to vote.
The other states include Ken
tucky. with the same age re
quirement as Georgia. 18; Alas
ka i!i and Hawaii, 20.
President Johnson, in an
nouncing the proposal said.
"Reason does not permit us to
ignore any longer the reality
that 18-year-old young Ameri
cans are prepared, by educa
tion. by experience, by expo
sure to public affairs of their
own land and all the world, to
exercise the privilege to vote "
The Red and Black ques
tioned a numbe. of interested
citizens connected with Ur* Uni
versity to determine attitudes
on the amendment.
Dr. George Parthemos. vice-
president for Instruction, agrees
that 18-year-olds should be* giv
en the right to vote He says
that "the practice of voting at
the age of 18 goes back to the
Athenian Democracy where the
male was considered a citizen
at the age of 18 and could vote
in all elections."
Dr. Parthemos states three
fundamental reasons why 18-
year-olds should be* given the
right to vote: li This would
provide more participation
which would lead to more ac
ceptance of governmental poli
cies; 21 Participation is good in
itself. It is educational for the

Petition Plans
By PAUL STEPHEN DEMPSEY
The University of Georgia "Students for McCarthy" held •:
its summer organizational meeting Tuesday. July 2 It was de- •:
cided at the meeting that the group would circulate a petition •:
expressing support for Eugene McCarthy for President The
petitions, when completed will be* presented to the* Georgia j:
Deinwratic Convention to be hold in Macon on August 10
Discussion centered around the* possibilities of persuading :j
portions of the 107-member Georgia delegation named last :•
week to support Sen McCarthy at the* National Democratic
Convention. It was suggested that a McCarthy group from the |:
University of Georgia would be* represented at the* Georgia j:
Convention. Gary Marcus is heading a committee to study the* |:
possibility of placing pro-McCarthy citizens into Ur* Georgia :•

Saul one* member. "Every poll in America shows Rocke- : :
feller beating Nixon, and yet it looks like Nixon will be nomi- :•
nated Polls also show McCarthy beating Humphrey, yet the :•
leaders in the Democratic Party are for Humphrey "
Polls do indicate that Ur* 43-vote Georgia delegation will
support Hubert Humphrey for President. A recent Associated £■
Press poll revealed that, of 18 delegates who expressed opin-
ions. 11 were for Humphry, six were leaning toward the
Vice-President, and one* was leaning toward McCarthy.
It must be noted that during the ‘Choice '68' ' elections,
former Vice-President Richard Nixon was victorious on both ; :
the Umv of Ga and Ga Tech campuses. "However." said
one McCarthy supporter, "the combined votes of Robert Ken-
nedy and Eugene* McCarthy would have defeated Nixon *We
must seek the support of the people who want<*d Kennc*dv for •:
President."
At the* organizational meeting. Dr Phinizy Spalding of the •:
History department of the College of Arts and Sciences was
elected President. David John was named Secretary and Shir- :
ley Smith as Treasurer for the Summer Quarter
Dmg range plans for the group include fund raising, week
ly meetings, and a large pro-McCarthy petition drive The :
McCarthy group is also seeking a new locaUon for their head
quarters The office over the* Broad Street Book Store, which j
has served as downton ‘McCarthy for President' headquarters
