The fairy tale ending ended
tonight — for Georgia, at
least.
But not for a scrappy, well-
disciplined squad of basket-
bailers from Mississippi
State The Bulldogs of the del
ta state wove a nice ending
for an uphill climb Monday
night in the Coliseum as they
derailed the Bulldogs of the
peach state, 73-71.
I)own by seven points at the
half. State came back and
outplayed the Dogs in the
second stanza as they battled
for the lead and held it cooly
in the closing minutes.
The setback, snapping a 10-
gamc Georgia home winning
streak, was a harsh blow to
the Bulldogs, kmx'king them
down to 5-4 in the SEC and 96
overall.
A sparse and somewhat
shocked crowd of 4.833 sat
through what has to have been
(Georgia's most sluggish night
of the season. The Bulldogs
couldn't hit the easy shots
consistently, nor could they
break State's well-handled
control offense.
The maroon-clad guests
executed their precision
game plan with apparent ease
in the second half after having
difficulty getting straight
ened out in period one Geor
gia led at the half. 40-33
State overcame its second
half deficit with a Chuck
Wade layup to knot things. 40-
all 15:06 from the end. From
there on out the lead switched
back and forth like a bouncing
ping-pong ball. The contest
was tied 13 times and the lead
exchanged 17 times.
The Maroons took the lead
Students Can Regulate
Activities F und—Barber
By STEVE STEWART
Students have the right to
oversee spending from the
Student Activities fund's in-
trhmural account, but they
have not used that right, said
the University treasurer
Thursday
Because students have not
chosen to supervise specific
expenditures from this ac
count. faculty members have
controlled spending within the
broad budget outlined by the
Student Activities finance
committee, he said
This has resulted in use of
Placement

Two Peace Corps represen
tatives will be on campus today
and Wednesday to talk with
persons interested in joining the
Peace Corps, or those who
would like some information
about it.
The representatives are John
Bromley and Tom Sernler; they
will be working out of the
Placement Office, assisted by
Mrs. Lee Anne Sea well, the
Peace Corps liason on campus.
Rep
some of the money for such
things as faculty trips, physi
cal education class equipment
and swimming pool supplies,
explained Allan W. Barber,
assistant vice president and
treasurer John L. Green
Jr., vice president for busi
ness and finance, concurred
The Student Activities finance
committee, which is con
trolled by students, can do
two things to assure student
control over expenditures
from the Student Activities
fund, they suggested: Develop
what Green called “a pro
gram-type budget setting
forth the way they want the
money spent on programs and
the individuals to have the
responsibility for making the
expenditures ’
-And designate students to
be responsible for approving
all individual expenditures
from money for student func
tions. such as the intramural
account, as Barber suggested
At present, the committee
approves lump-sum grants to
various organizations and
functions, based on antici
pated expenditures and the
anticipated total income for
the fund The fund comes
from University students,
each of whom pays $4.17 for

The faculty advisers and
student treasurers of organi
zations are charged with
supervising expenditures once
the money is granted. However,
there are no designated persons
for functions-such as intra
mural sports, musical programs
and lectures.
Faculty members and ad
ministrators who direct these
activities have generally as
sumed charge of Allocating
Barger, there have been no
students charged with over
seeing how the monies are
spent
Organizations — which re
ceive, according to Green,
more planning by the stu
dent Activities money-- can
use the fund only with the
approval of both their faculty
advisers and their student
treasurers. Barber said. All
organizations’ spending has
been approved by the student
treasurers, he said.
But "functions are where
there probably should be
more planning bv the stu
dents." he continued Be
cause there are no student
treasurers for these activities,
checks have been issued on
the sole authority of the facul
ty members and administra
tors in charge.
The solution might be to
appoint student treasurers for
all functions. Barber com
mented
Barber's and Green s re
marks came in an interview
concerning changes in Jan.
16’s Red and Black that there
were peculiarities in spending
of Student Activities monies,
especially in the intramural
account.
After the charges ap
peared, the heads of the
men's and women's physical
education devisions, which
were implicated in the
charges, said the money had
been used according io their
best judgements within the
lump-sum grants by the fi
nance committee. They said
the faculty trips, class equip
ment and swimming pool sup
plies were used to benefit the
intramural and free-time recre
ational programs.
John Cox. director of stu
dent activities, recommended
at the same time that the fi
nance committee audit expen
ditures at the end of each fis
cal year
Barber took exception
Thursday to two points in the
Jan. 16 article in which the
charges were made. He said
-That Mrs. Mary D. Man-
gham. accounting officer for
Student Activities, is required
to check signatures on pur
chase reques's (PRs) against
a list of approved signatures
The article had laid she was
not. and that "when PRs have
been signed by high ranking
faculty members, the che*-ks
have been issued without
question
-And that the money in the
Student Activities fund is not

A disappointed Coach Ken
Rosemond had only praise for
Mississippi State "They
came back and played a great

"Washington and Wade were
the difference in the ball

down and worked in to those

We got out-hustled — give
State all the credit." Rose
mond continued. "It seemed
they had more zip than we
did "
Rosemond acknowledged
that the loss virtually ruins
Georgia's conference
chances. "The thing we’ve got
to play for now is a good
year." said the Bulldog men
tor "We've reached the point
now where we’re finding out
how good a team we have,
how much character they (the
