Ex-congressman Charles
Weltner. addressing students at
the Wesley Foundation, spoke
of the need for development
“of a sense of community,
not confrontation among in
dividuals today.”
Weltner spoke in conjunction
with the program communitas.
sponsored by the Wesley
Foundation. The theme of
the program symbolized in
the* 'jtle of the speech "Christ-
lanuy in the Twentieth Cen
tury,” dealt the topic of what
it means to be a Christian
in the modem community.
Weltner. who was elected in
the Democratic primary but
did not run because he could
not support the candidacy of
Lester Maddox related
Christianity to the current
problems faced by the coun
try.
In this country where 3.000
people are killed annually by
guns, where government agen
cies pour millions of dollars
into the ghettoes. where
churches send thousands of
cans of groceries to the needy,
people still starve and are mis
treated.

Set Goals
Circle K
Advised
Campus service organiza
tions should define their
goals, set out to accomplish
them and “quit worrying
about competing with other
people,” acting Dean of Stu
dents () Suthem Sims told the
University chapter of Circle
K Wednesday night
"Know where you’re going,
do what you can do and quit
worrying about other clubs
and organizations, he told 35
members and guests at a sup
per meeting at Elder's Ixnige
near Athens
He spoke on "The Place of
a Service Organization on a
Socially-minded Campus" in
the context of the service ide
als of Circle K
All people need contact
with others, he said, and so
cial organizations provide one
way of meeting this need But
service, he said, provides the
finest vehicle for brother*
hood
Just as the University must
establish a program of educa
tional advancement to com
pete in education, service
organizations must develop
programs of service relevant
to a changing world. Dean
Sims said

Botanists Research
Harmful Parasites
University botanists are studying the biologv of organ
isms that may limit the availity of food for the future.
Housed in .1 research out
post three miles from the
University's central campus,
they are working with fungal
parasites of marine plants
and animals - ranging from
those harmful to our oyster
and clam industries to those
infecting common seaweed.
The 12-man team led by
Dr Melvin S. Fuller, head of
the University's Botany de
partment. is seeking to shed
light on "a conglomeration of
unknowns surrounding a
variety of algae and fungi
"As the oceans become
more important as a source of
food." said I)r Fuller, “our
exploratory work may take on
more meaning
Right now. we re trying to
find out as much as possible
about these parasites They
exist in rather low numbers
now. but. if you started cul
tivating their animal and
seaweed hosts as food, they
might be very important
commercially.”
Dr. Fuller notes that man
is already farming the
oceans, in the case of oysters
and other aquatic animal life,
and he says that many author
Hies predict that man will
eventually farm algae
The minute we start to
cultivate marine life we cre
ate artificial conditions in
which parasites can thrive,
just as they do on cultivated
plants on land he said
fhe situation could be lik
ened to the development of a
common food source, such as
corn (irowing wild it is rela
tively fret* from parasitic dis
ease. but when man culti
vates it. he* br<*eds toward
strains that are superior in
taste and texture but rnay
not be as resistant to di
sease
It is in the area of parasitic
control that Dr Fuller feels
his work could have the most
significance to human nutri
tion.
fYobably the most interest
ing work being carried on at
the laboratory, said the bota
nist. is that of graduate stu
dent Fred Kazama on a fun
gus infecting the red alga
Porphyra. a seaweed which is
already commercially import
ant in many parts of the
world
"This alga is a food source
in many places." said Dr
Fuller, “and it is particularly
important to Japan, where it
is used as a food wrapping and
in many soups "
Kazama has been able to
grow the* parasite in what is
known as a pure culture, free
from any other living organ
ism. to find out more about its
physiology He has also done
infection studies, infecting a
number of other algae with
the fungus
The biological work of the
laboratory is divided along
specialty lines I> Fuller
working under a two-year
grant from the Public Health
Service has a strung interest
in the marine* fungal studies
Dr Gary Kuchert is working
on hormonal control of the sex
processes in fresh-water al-
gae
Other researchers are in
terested in cell division, and
the transformation of motile,
or swimming cells to growing
cells
The laboratory is stocked
with specialized technical
apparatus that can simulate a
variety of controlled environ
ments It also houses a deli
cate electron microscope

Investigation Shows
Activity Funds Misuse
An investigation into the accounts of the Student Activities Fund
has shown certain pecularities in spending
Brought to the attention of the Student Government last Decern*
ber. this investigation prompted SGA president Hobby Williams to
call for the creation of a Senate committee to study the Student
Activities Fund and to recommend ways to regulate it
Senate President Ted OuzLs appointed Mike Donovan. Senate
Treasurer as chairman of the committee
A study of the intramural account, one of the largest of 86 of the
Student Activities Fund showed that over $1500 has been spent for
faculty "junketeenng ” chemic al supplies Ux the University pool
and equipment for use in P E classes is the last two years
Because there are no set guidelines regulating the exp» n-
diture of this money, it was sometimes spent for purposes
which did not directly benef it the students
The procedure for using these* various accounts has
evolved so that a request for funds has to bo justified
only to those spending it
for example intramural account records show that a
check for $71 79 was issued to a faculty member on Januars 10.
1967 for rail fan- to WMbfcglOl D.( and It
The request for the check was authorized by the receipt. *nt
with no explanation as to what the trip was for
While most expenditures in the intramural account have
complete explanations and receipts to show that the pur
chase was made, this one did not
Since the money is collected from students, it is called the Stu
dent Activity Fund and is distributed to student organizations, the
presumption might be that it is supposed to be spent by students
for students
However, in the absence of any firm regulations, this has not
always been true
On November 13. 1966. a faculty member was issued a check for
$I6U 66 to cover expenses incurred while attending and participat
ing in the 4th National Institute on Girls Sports at Indiana Universe
iy
In May of 1967 checks of $66 00 and $25 00 a piece were issued to
cover the expenses of faculty members who attended the Georgia
Association of Health. Physical Education and Rec reation Confer
ence at Jekyll Island
These are only some outstanding examples of money which oos-
siblv should not have been soent out of student funds
