6 Lmv’ Is ‘Strange’
B> JEAN GOLDSMITH
Supposedly I was backstage in
the Fine Arts Theatre, but the
scene more closely resembled a
bridge over looking a river in
New York Three characters
were engaged in a variety of ac
tivities on that bridge. Two of
them were making love The
third sat between them, calmly
eating a banana
The three characters are El
len and Milt Manville and Harry
Berlin, extremely well acted by
Virginia Knight. Ray Turner and
Micheal Moody A very tangled
marital triangle forms the focus
of this contemporary, though
somewhat surrealistic drama of
love. LUV. and not LOVE, be
cause. to quote the director. "It's
slick, it's modern, it's more
camp, and it's kind of alienated,
a strange new love."
CREW GETS READY
I arrived to review rehearsal
fairly early. The cast strolled lei
surely up. Miss Knight and
Moody arm in arm. laughing
Ray Turner drove through on a
bicycle he uses in the play Heads
decorated with special house-
phones which pick up the Stage
Manager's directions on lighting
and sound cues bobbed over
head; the technical crew made
last-minute checks on their array
of complex equipment
Below the suspended series of
ladders, cages, balconies and
wiring the stage manager
seemed to remain calm through
out. issuing last minute orders
confirming c es with crew and
director He correlates all back-
stage activities, and his are the
orders that send cast onstage, set
lights blinking, and pull up the
curtains. In short, he coordinates
all the diverse special effects
which create the "atmosphere”
of a play
SLPSEND REALITY
But in LUV. I was told. "The
audience needs to suspend,
momentarily at least, their sense
of reality Many of the events are
really absurd, almost ridicu
lous."
"Places — one minute." the
stage manager snapped tersely
Moody snuffed his cigarette
Miss Knight increased the tempo
of her limbering up exercises The
j house lights dimmed out until
only one spot could be seen shin-
I ing on the stage, casting long
shadows back through the cur
tains. Only the reddish glow of
the manager's flashlight could be
j seen, studying the technical cues
I I could hear whispering over
head The sound tapes came on
"Go! " Virgiania Knight was on.
Ellen was on. She paced nervous
ly, tensely, across the stage The
second act of LUV had begun
STARTS TOMORROW
This play, sophisticated, beau- I
tifully performed and directed
piece of drama, has been in re
hearsal since Sept 27 It will
open tomorrow night and run
through Nov. 2 in the Fine Arts
Auditorium Obviously the work
that has gone into it is extensive
The technical crew rehearsed on
the eve of Homecoming The
actors, director and other cast
members have practiced every
day of the week since they began,
with the exception of Saturday.
Many of the parts going into
the creation of the drama will
most likely go unnoticed, like the
change in theme between the
sound-track before the first and
second acts, and the realistic
graffitti on the bridge
CHALLENGES ACTORS
From the standpoint of acting,
the play offers quite a challenge
"It's a very demanding role.’
Virginia Knight explained. "El
len has to show love for two dif
ferent men. two different kind'
of love.”
“Milt is the embodiment of the
profit motive." Ray Turner add
ed, "carried to its absurd
extreme."

The Board of Regents recent

of the academic community and
to preserve and protect the
right and freedom of its facul

Computer Center Makes
Data Gathering Easier
By KEN DEATS
Ten million dollars worth of
complex equipment and the
manpower to run it are part of
the reason the University's Com
puter Center can make data gath
ering as easy as turning on the
water faucet
And "turning on the faucet” is
just about what a researcher
today must be able to do if he
wants to stay in step with the
quick tempo of modem technol
ogical improvement He must be
able to feed data to a computer
instead of wasting his own
brainpower on calculation and
computation.
Not only that, but many of the
scientific breakthroughs teday
are being programmed by com
puter, and if the scientist is to be
up-to-date he must read the com
puter much the way the average
man reads the newspaper.
STORES INFO
The Computer Center is a
giant hub of stored information
boasting six computers and 120
employees including 44 consult
ants. research assistants, pro
grammers, operators and a sup
porting staff Besides the Center,
which is located on the first floor
of the new Graduate Studies
Building on south campus, there
are 37 extension facilities or
remote hot lines which profes
sors and researchers can use to
call the center and process data
or search for information quiclv.
The Center also provides one
each of these remote facilities in
Atlanta and Macon
According to administrators,
the Computer Center has a four
fold purpose to lend itself, staff
and equipment to the education
of staff and students in the meth
ods and techniques of high speed
computer equipment; to provide
the basic research needed to
develop new areas of computer
technology; to assist teachers in
using this equipment for their
own problem-solving; and to
provide these same facilities to
business industry and other
schools.
BEGUN IN J957
The Computer Center was or
ganized in 1957 as the Depart
ment of Experimental Statistics
of the Agricultural Experiment
Station The staff was two men
and the equipment was a single
602A punch card calculator.
From those beginnings it has
grown to become the fifth largest
facility of its kind in the nation,
according to its founder and pre
sent director. Dr James L.
Cannon.
According to Dr. Carmon,
time-sharing of computers is a
relatively old idea The people
that have a computer simply rent
it out to the researchers who need
it, he said The idea behind time
sharing began with the scramble
of space research when the
government got into the act full
swing by establishing data banks
across the nation to aid different
segments of the research That
same principle is being used in
edication. said Dr Crmon.
FOCUS ON RESEARCH
Here at the University, the
Center - on manly used for re
search in chemistry and biology ! Carolina and Tennessee Assist-
But the Center would like to ex I ance has been given to such or-
pand its program so that it could
offer an informative retrieval
system" or data bank in all fields
from philosophy to music, ac
cording to Dr Carmon.
“The data bank could store
every bit of information generat
ed on this campus,” he ex
plained. adding "that is why the
Center boasts that it is the most"
powerful computing complex in
any southern university and one
of the largest in the country.”
Besides its function as a com
putational and information stor
age center, the Center acts as a
teacher also. In 1960 the Center
personnel taught their first
course. Now they offer a Com
puter Sciences program at the
Master's level.
AIDS AGENCIES
The facilities of the Center
have often been used by outside
agencies and other universities.
Some of these schools are Au
burn, Georgia Tech. Emory,
Florida State. Maryland. South
ganizations as General Eelectric,
Lockheed-Georgia, Union Car
bide, E. I DuPont. Celanese Fi
bers. St Regis Paper Compnay.
Smith-Corona-Marchant and
Continental Can Company
In the area of secondary
education the Center is providing
student scheduling and grade
reporting services to more than
20 local schools
Various services have been
provided for such governmental
agencies as the State Budget
Bureau. State Highway Depart
ment, Florida State Road De
part nent and Department of
Revenue.
Looking to the future, adminis
trators say the Center is dedicat
ed to improving their own sci
ence — that of computer pro
gramming. The ultimate objec
tive of this effort, according to Dr
Carmon, is "to provide the re
searcher large scale computer
ability with the same ease as he
obtains electricity or water in his
lab”
EHS Prepares
New Flu May Be Due
System Change Due
The four-point grading scale has been adopted by the :
University in compliance with a 1962 Board of Regents i
ruling, according to Dr Charles Darby, assistant vice-
president for instruction.
Used by all other units within the University system, the
grading scale will facilitate the evaluation of transcripts
and establish a uniform grading scale througlvxit the
system No student's average will be hurt by the change, for
the new grading method is a direct conversion from the
former 100-point system
The effect will take place at the end of fall quarter with
the conversion of the quarterly, cumulative and yearly grades
to the four-point system.
According to the new student handbook. the
: following numerical equivalents for academic letter grades
; will be given: Aplus _ 45
A-4 0
B plus — 3.5
B — 3.0
C plus — 2.5

B> TAFFY RICHARDSON
A new strain of epidemic
Asian flu is predicted to reach
the United States this winter The
University Health Service is
making provisions in the case of
such an epidemic on this campus
Dr John Curtis, chief of the
University Health Services and
Dr Thomas E Evres. a special
ist in preventive medicine and
staff physician at the Health Ser
vice. are working on an epidemic
disaster plan in cooperation with
Richard C. Ar nstrong director
of housing
Designated dormitories, if
needed will be used to bed the
least sick of those who come
down with the flu Those students
who are fairly ill will be patients
at the Health Service* and those
who are the most sick and do not
live close enough to Athens to go
home will be* sent to a local hospi
tal

Contraceptives Talk
As yet no indication of the flu
has been seen in patients at the
Health Service In the case of a
student whom the doctor sus
pects of having the flu throat
washing and a blood sample will
be taken and sent to the State
Department of Health for test
ing The Department of Health
works in cooperation with the
U S Communicable Disease
Center
SPREADS SLOWLY
Dr Evres said that if the flu
strikes (Georgia students it will
hapfien in this way. An isolated
case of the flu will first appear A
week later possibly two more
cases will show up In four to
eight weeks the flu will strike in
mass.
Another new procedure the
Health Service has in the plan
ning is a staff of volunteer stu
dents who will help take care of
those stricken wth the flu Possi-

phrased Dr William L. Williams
of the University Biochemistry
Department Dr Williams make
this remark during a recent dis
cussion on methods of practical
contraception
The same discussion on practi
cal contraception will be repeat
ed tonight at 8 00 p m in the
Pharmacy Auditorium
Dr Willliams explained that
this type lecture was initiated tc
inform, protect and guide unin
formed and misinformed people
At first he held the lectures in
dormitories, but because of the
great interest shown in the sub
ject and the even greater need
for more people to be informed,
the lectures are now being given
in the Pharmacy Auditorium
LACK INFORMATION
Dr Williams pointed out that
"in an age where we re allowed
to say anything about sexual in
tercourse. we are painfudy lack
ing in accuate and available in
formation on preventing preg
nancy In fact, in some states you
cannot publicly say one word
about contraception ”
He feels that a thorough
knowledge of contraceptives is
the first and most essential step
in Sex education courses’ now
being introduced in public
schools, in most classes, not one
word is being said about prevent
mg pregancies. he pointed out
"I believe that informing people
aboun contraceptives will be a
major step in solving such prob
lems as crowded living condi
tions and the existence of un
wanted children."
Influenza is a disease which
comes onlv in epidemic form.
There are no sporadic cases,
said Dr Evres
Manv people have the miscon
ception that a cold or general
aches and pains are the Hu How
ever the flu is a definite illness
characterized by high fever ex
tremely severe headaches :ius-
cle aches and pains
Both doctors stressed how
ever. that the flu may not hit this
campus at all The plans have
been made onlv as a precaution
ary measure
SHOTS INEFFECTIVE
Several students have inquired
about taking shots to prevent
their getting the flu Dr Curtis
and Dr Evres both agree that
the shots available will not
prevent the tvpe of predicted
strain As vet there is no vaccine
to guard against this new tvpe of
flu
There is a flu vaccine for A
and B subtvpes of flu ithe tvpe
here last winter* Students may
take these two shots in a series
two to four weeks apart Howeverll
the shots will do mi g<jod if the |
student comes down with the flu j
soon after fus shot It takes from I 1
two to three weeks for the vac
cine to be protective
blv. premedical students will
maintain a blood bant. Anadvi
sory Man made up of these stu
dents and a campus minister
would consult with the Health
Serivce doctors and exchange
ideas and advice
Dr Evres stated that no one
dies of the flu but sometimes
patients die of complications
connected with the flu Again he
stressed that there is no certainty
that the flu will strike this cam
pus There plans have been made
only in the event that it does
itlllklL -
orderly, disruptive or obstruc
tive actions which interfere with
academic pursuits of teaching,
learning and other campus
activities ”
As the statement says in its
opening, the following state
ment relates specifically to
the problem described below
It does not change or in any way
infringe upon the Board's
existing policies and practices
in support of freedom of ex
pression and action
COMBAT NECESSARY
"Rather.” it continues, ‘‘it
is considered necessary to com
bat the ultimate effect of irr
esponsible disruptive and ob
structive academic freedom and
the institutional structures
through which it operates "
The specific "problem" to
which the statement addresses
itself has "in recent years
appeared on many college and
university campuses in tne na
tion. Some students, faculty
members and others have on
occasion engaged in demonstra
tions. sit-ins and other activities
that have clearly deliberately
interfered with the regular
and orderly operation of the
institution concerned. Typical
ly, these actions have been the
physical occupation of a building
or campus area for a protracted
period of time or the use or
display or verbal or written
obscenities involving involving
indecent or disorderly conduct "
GONE TOO FAR
According to the Regents,
"these actions have gone beyond
all heretofore recognized bounds
of meetings for discussion, per
suasion or even protest in that
(1) acquiescence to demands
of the demonstrators is the
condition for dispersal, and (2)
the reasonable and written di
rections of institutional officials
to disperse have been ignored "
As the statement judged
"suc h activities thus have become
clearly recognizable as an ac
tion of force, operating outside
all established channels on the
campus including that of intell
ectual debate and persuasion
which are at the very heart
of education
Especially distressing to the
Regents is the fact that "such
action of force destroys the
very essence of higher educa
tion This essense is found in
the unhampered freedom to
study, investigate, write, speak
and debate on any aspect or
issue of life. This freedom,
which reaches its full flowering
on college and university cam
puses. is an essential part of
American democracy, compar
able to the jury system or the
electoral process
DIRE RESULTS
Getting to the heart of the
statement, the Regents explain
that "for these reasons and in
order to respond directly and
specifically to this new problem,
the Board of Regents stipulates
that any student, faculty mem
ber. administrator or employee,
acting individually or in con
cert with others, who clearly
obstructs or disrupts, or attempts
to obstruct or disrupt any
teaching, research, administra
tive. disciplinary or public
service activity or any other
activity authorized to be dis
charged or held on any campus
of the University System of
Georgia is considered by the
Board to have committed an act
of gross irresponsibility and
shall be subject to disciplinary
procedures, possibly resulting
in dismissal or termination of
employment.”
The statement concluded by
noting that "the Board of Regents
understands that this policy is
consistent with resolutions adopt
ed by the American Association
of University Professors in April.
