Residence Courts
In Greek Houses
Asked by Senate
<JL
Residence courts for fra
ternity and sorority houses
were approved by the Student
Senate Wednesday nir a ht.
The Senate also recom
mended a change in the meth
od of assessing student athlet
ic fees and endorsed a cam
pus-wide blood-typing drive to
be sponsored by the Student
Government Association.
The Senate ratified an or
der by the Judicial Council’s
chief justice. Huber Parsons,
creating the new residence
courts.
Parsons, who said the pres
idents and advisers of the In
terfraternity Council and the
Panhellenic Council had
acceded to his proposal, gave
the reason for his order as a
need to take minor personal
violations out of the main
courts.
Since the Greek houses are
not included in the eight resi
dence court divisions set up
originally in the Student Judi
ciary, minor offenses arising
in these houses so far have
been referred directly to the
main courts
Sen. Bill Foster (Law
School) moved for approval of
Parsons’ order, and his mot
ion drew immediate rebuttal
from Robert Fortson
(Business Administration).
who said he felt the courts
would be ineffective since
Greek students would be re
sponsible for judging fellow
Greeks.
Charter
Date Set
For IDC
A proposed men’s interdor
mitory council neared reality
Tuesday night when five dor
mitory council presidents set
Monday, Feb. 24. as a tenta
tive charter date for the or
ganization.
Four of the presidents indi
cated support of the council,
while the fifth. Bob Hurley of
Russell Hall, asked for time
to bring the matter to a vote
his dormitory council, accord
ing to Herbert Danner, presi
dent of Milledge Hall
“The consenus looked good
for a council," said Danner,
“but nobody said for sure."
The five presidents repre
sented a majority of the nine
men 's dorms on campus
Clark Howell, Payne and
Joe Brown halls, in addition
to Milledge and Russell, were
represented at the meeting.
Tucker and Reed Halls were
invited but did not send repre
sentatives. McWhorter and
Morris halls do not have coun
cils.
Danner is assisting Hous
ing Minister Chris Sackel-
lares in organizing the coun
cil. which Sackellares hopes
will be a step toward forma
tion of a campus-wide inter
dormitory council including
both men s and women’s resi
dences The Associated Wom
en Students, a women’s group
similar to the proposed men’s
interdorm council, has asked
that the men form such a
group before AWS considers
merging with it to make a
single organization
But Greg Perry, senator
from the IFC, said the IFC
executive council favored the
motion because without resi
dence courts Greek students
"are carried to a higher level
of court which issues stiffer
punishment,"
“We recommend this,"
Perry continued, “so we will
be put on the same level as
other courts "
iFees for athletics would
not be collected from students
during summer quarter ac
cording to a motion by Mike
Donovan (Arts and Sciences)
which the Senate approved.
Instead of being included in
the student activities fee of
about $9. which is collected
every quarter, the athletic
fees would be charged sepa
rately at $4 per quarter for
fall, winter and spring quart
ers only.
The $3.33 per quarter which
is now charged for athletics
would be deducted from the
student activities fees. Stu
dents would be paying slightly
more in total fees for each of
three quarters, but summer-
quarter students would have
their fees reduced.
Donovan said he offered
the motion to make the sys
tem more fair during summer
quarter, when there are no
varsity athletic events, and to
separate the athletic monies
from other student activities
monies. The other student
activities monies then can be
put under tighter student con
trol, he predicted.
The blood-typing drive,
called for last week by Steven
L. Roberts, adviser to health
services, vas recommended
formally to the Senate by Sen.
Bill Tribble (Arts and Sci
ences),
The drive will begin next
Monday, with the University
Health Services providing
clinical personnel.

OrganizationPlan
Adopted by IT
The executive council of the Involvement Together
(IT) party adopted the Party Plans and Organization at a
meeting Sunday night, according to David Willard party
chairman. ' 1
The first item on the docu
ment, which will serve as the
party’s constitution, is the
executive council, which, it
states, 'shall be composed of
a representative from the
Greek houses, from married
student housing, from resi
dence halls, and two represen
tatives from off-campus resi
dents. It shall be composed
also of five ex-officio mem
bers who are appointed by the
voting members."
It further states that these
representatives "shall de
clare that they will not seek
the ottices ot president, vice-
president, or secretary of the
student government in the
forth-coming election. "
Under "Subdivisions of
IT." the party plans and or
ganization states that "the
University of Georgia campus
and Athens community shall
be divided into residence
areas with Precinct captains
being the party's official re
presentative in that area '
Concerning the party pri
mary, set for April 2. the doc
ument states: "Primary vot
ing shall lake place in the res
idence areas with the precinct
captain responsible for the
polling places. All electioning
procedures shall comply with
the Student Government Con
stitution " Also, " a plurality
of votes shall be necessary for
nominations "
Primary candidates, ac
cording to the document,
"shall file with the party
chairman an application to
run in the IT primary at least
twc days prior to the prima

ber.”
University Health Services
personnel will begin taking
blood samples Monday in a
two-week drive to determine
the blood types of as many
students as possible
From 6 to 8 p.m Monday
night, they will be in the third-
floor lounge of Russell Hall
and in the’ lobby of Center
Myers to take samples and
make on-the-spot analyses
Samples will be taken at other

weeks.
graduation was debated, but
voted down As it now stands.
195 hours are required for
graduation.
According to Eddie Pea
body. editor of "The Impres
sion.' who was present at the
meeting, the raising of hours
required for graduation was
voted down almost unani
mously.
The actual decision for the
recommendation, said Pea
body. was taken by a voice
vote, and did not require a
count
Students currently enrolled
in the first vear of basic
ROTC. or freshmen required
under present regulations to
take basic ROTC. will be re
quired to complete three
quarters of basic ROTC in
order to graduate.
All students enrolled in the
second year of basic ROTC. or
sophomores required under
present regulations to take
basic ROTC, will be required
to complete six quarters.
Randall Seabolt, vice pres
ident of the student body,
said. "Most students should
be pleased with the deci
sions. Prior to the Council’s
review of the question, we con
ducted a poll of some 3 or
4.000 students in the male
dormitories and fraternities,
and the great majority of
them endorsed the proposal
at that time^’L *c*-
bolt said it should be "favora
ble "
The University Council had
discussed ROTC programs at
their regular fall meeting.
Dec 9, 1968, but more study of
the subject was recommend
ed. This special meeting was
announced January 29 and
held Feb. 12.

Student Body Secretary
(Fifth of a Series)
Who said to make physical education grades
part of academic averages? Who decides how
many cuts you get? Why take curriculum cours
es before you practice teach'* Who says you have
to take ROTC’
Some say the administration; others say the
faculty So just what is the situation between the
faculty and the administration 0
\ One professor says the difference between
j:j the two is similar to the relationship of the fac-
>; ulty to the student: "The administration is the
:• power structure and the faculty has to do as they
J arc told As the leaders, the administration
S makes ail the major decisions
$ In referring to administration, this profes-
:j: sor was speaking of the dean of his school, who
:> tkws lead and set procedures for his depart
>; menu
ACADEMIC FREEDOM
The faculty does follow the guidelines set by
i its superiors but these guidelines may not inter-
5. fere with teaching within the classroom There
| die professors have academic freedom, which is
it supported religiously by the American Assoria
;/ tion of University Professors i AAUPi.
So although die administration may say what
J to teach and when it may not say how. Here die
5 professor is his own boss, free to do as he pleas-
es
Here is where student government steps in
with a faculty-course evaluation.
The administration — here meaning the off
ice of the vice president for instruction en
courages surveys and evaluations of professors
teaching to improve the level of instruction but
the initiative for such action must come from
the faculty and department heads
In no way does the vice president s office
pressure the colleges and schools into such pro
grams
As a result, many students feel they are
stuck with what they feel to be poor, if not
inadequate classroom situations which have no
hope of being modified
Since a student is paying for this instruction,
he naturally feels that the less successful pro
fessor should be brought to the attention of
someone in authority to improve the course
DISMISSAL PROCESS
It would be ridiculous to assume that merely
an unsatisfactory rating by students would ever
warrant the dismissal of a professor or his being
held back from promotion
'In fact, in dismissal proceedings for a ten
ured professor, due cause must be shown in a
hearing that he has failed to carry out his duties
and responsibilities For such action, a tenured
professor must be notified by April 1 that he will
not be hired for the next academic year
(Instructors, or those who have no tenure as
yet. are reviewed each year by their department
heads and are hired on a year-to-year basis If
these instructors are not to be hired for the next
year, they must be informed by Jan 1.)
Besides the deans of the various schools and
colleges, there Are other administrators who
actually conduct the business affairs and set the
policies of the University These include the
president, the fouf vice presidents with their 14
assistants, the dean of student affairs, the dean
of women, the dean of men. the five directors of
the various student services (health services,
testing and evaluation, housing, student place
ment and aid. and student activities), the regis
trar. the admissions dean, and the three other
directors (Umvwsity relations, alumni rela
tions and public relations).
FACULTY RANK
After three or four more years, the assistant
professor is eligible for promotion to associate
professor He again is recommended by his de
partment. and a special committee is chosen to
study this promotion
Similarly, he can be* promoted a few years
later to full professor - a rank held by about 300
of the* 1500 faculty members
SALARIES SCALED
Not omy does one have more tenure and pres
tige with higher faculty rank, the pay also dif
fers for the various positions On the average,
faculty salaries for an academic year are full
professor. $17,987. associate professor. $14,341.
assistant professor. $11,768. and instructor.
$8.V74
