S. Supreme Court

Building number 13 in the old prefab
married housing got a premature re
tirement Tuesday when flames gutted
it. The blaze started near a back door
where, said one observer, an electri
cian had been working only minutes
before. The buildirig was unoccupied
and was being used for storage of con
struction materials for the new Col
lege of Education building nearby.
Eventually, it was destined to be torn
down.

After two hours of discussion on assort
ed topics, the Student Senate adjourned
last night because there was not a quorum
present
The Senate's only motion of the eve
ning, concerning the date of elections, was
defeated bv a vote of 24 to 21. The elec
tions committee had recommended that
elections be held April 15
Neil O'Connell (Graduatel moved that
the Senate recommend to the elections
committee that elections be on April 9
AS OUTLINED by Price Corr l Arts and
Sciences 1. Senate vice president, there
are several reasons for the April 15 date
the student aetvities office said it would
be better able to handle the elections on
the 15th, a Bridal Fair will be taking up
the time of the student activities staff the
week of April 9 and the Master's Goll
Tournament will be held in Augusta April
Ml.
Mike Willoughby (Arts and Sciences)
advocated the April 7 date. Willoughby
said he had talked to David Fletcher as
sistant director of student activities, and
Fletcher had stated that the student activ
ities office would handle the elections at
the Senate's convenience
Willoughby also reported that Fleetch-
er had said the entire staff of the Student
Activities office would be busy with the
Bridal Fair on the 8th. so that April 8 was
the only date inconvenient for his office
Sitting in at the meeting. John Cox
director of student activities, stated. We
will accomodate the wishes of the Sen
ate."
OTHER SENATORS in favor of the
earlier election date felt that 3 1 2 weeks
was too long a campaign time
Maureen McLaughlin I Arts and Sci
ences! felt that 2 1 2 weeks was enough
time to have "everyone's face and name
smeared across the campus She said
animosities developed between the politi
cal parties during last year's elections
She also said she felt that 3 1 2 weeks'
time would involve excessive expendi
tures of money.
O'Connell stated that students have to
study, and that less lime spent on elec
tions would allow for more time spent on
studies.
A HEATED DEBATE developed, dur
ing which the arguments for both sides
were restated several times Confusion
over the content of the motion developed
and President Jim Pannell explained the
proposal.
Finally, the Senate was made into a
committee of the whole and adjourned
because it did not have a quorum.
Earlier, during the reports from the
committee chairmen, several deficien
cies in the defender-advocate proposal
were discussed

STUDENTS ON UNIVERSITY SENATE
SGA Officers Hail Statute Proposal
By STEVE STEWART
News Editor
Student government will have direct,
official ties with the faculty's policymak
ing body if the University statutes commit
tee's recommendations are followed.
The committee, which now is wrapping
up several years of deliberations to revise
the statutes, has recommended that the
student body and Student Senate presi
dents be voting members of a new Univeiy
sitv Senate
The Senate also would include all ten
ured faculty members — who now number
600 to 700 — and 10 top Univei.uty ad
ministrative officials. It would replan
the University Council
Student body President Randall Seabolt
and Student Senate President Jim Pan
nell. in separate interviews with the
Red and Black, yesterday hailed the com
mittee's proposal as an important step
in providing for SGA participation in
policy determination
“PRIOR TO THIS, any time we wanted
to come before the University Council, we
had to depend on a faculty spokesman or
someone else to deliver our feelings to the
Council.' said Seabolt "The advantage
now is that, in the event we propose some
thing that may be controversial, we will
be able to participate in the Council dis
cussion itself ’
Neither he nor Pannell seemed dis
turbed by the comparatively small num
ber of seats to be given to students
"I'm pleased with the number of stu
dents for this reason: I don't think there
will ever be a great chance of getting a
great number on it.” Pannell explained.
The two who are designated would be
better able to represent student opinion —
even more effectively than five or six rep
resentatives would be able to do.”
Seabolt commented:
"We have a Student Government Asso
ciation composed of students now We
have no reason to want student represen
tation on the University Senate ever to
reach a number equal to that of the facul

For Georgia

Georgia overcame an early Georgia
Tech U-point bulge and held off a lale Jack
et rally to come away with a 74-89 win last
night at the Coliseum
Georgia grabbed the lead for the first
time with the opening two points of the
second half at 34-33 and kept the lead
throughout the remainder of the game,
although Tech cut the margin to one sev
eral times in the last four minutes

Though its plans are still in the forma
tive stages, the married Students' Council
hopes to spearhead the creation of a day
care center for married students children
by the middle of next quarter says the
council s president
The president. Patrick Skees. said
Wednesday that he has been working
closely with Nelson Garnett. SGA minis
ter to married students, in planning the
project.
What the council is trying to do is stu-
dev the costs involved and hopefully pro
pose to the Student Senate the implemen
tation of a day-care center." Skees ex
plained Right now we see the cost at
between $3 OU) and $4,000
"THIS INCLUDES the costs of beds for
different age groups of children, educa
tional toys, outdoor playground equip
ment books, and the facilities and person
nel necessary to get state accreditation "
He explained that the state sets mini
mum standards for kitchen equipment
and the number of adult supervisors win
must oversee children of certain ages
What we propose, said Skees. is a
dav-care center as opposed to a day nurs
ery A day-care center is for children aged
1 to 5. and its schedule is structured by
state regulation, with a certain number of
hours allotted each day for outdoor play
and organized educational play ."
THE PROPOSED CENTER would be
open to use by all married students for the
minimum fees necessary to pay expenses.
Skees said
He noted that there are “at least 3.700 "
married students on campus A 1968 sur
vey showed that one-third of the married
students had children and about half of
the children were five or younger
He said the council expects to ask the
Student Senate for funds to continue a
study of possible day-care programs
Garnett said student body President
Randall Seabolt supports the Council s
efforts He said Seablot was referring to
them when he called for a day-care center
in a Student Senate speech three weeks
ago
"IN TERMS of actually getting the ball
rolling." Garnett said I've adopted that
as one of my goals as minister to married
students
"MY CONCERN has been that we get
someone in the I University i Council who
can act as a voice for student opinion f
don't really think our position in terms of
influencing the body will be strengthened
any if we have six. seven or more repre
sentatives
"By the time we get to the University
Council, the approach we take should be
solidified So two representatives can rep
resent our stand effectively If there were
several representa. ves and they disa

Saves Rally
Win, 74-69
The outcome of the 1 game was in doubt
for the 10,000 fans until the last three sec
onds when the Georgia fans could finally
scream "Go to hell, Georgia Tech,” with
out fear of losing the last laugh
The Jackets cut a seven-point Georgia
margin to one 168-671 and had the ball with
24 seconds left on the clock
They were never able to get off a shot,
thiaigh. as Jerry Epling intercepted a pass
and converted a pair of charity losses as
he was fouled following his steal
Tech then threw the ball away again,
and Bob Lienhard scored on an unusual
four-point play to ice the game at 74-67
with three seconds left
In tfi-' battle of two All-American cen
ters, Georgia's Lienhard probably
grabbed a slight advantage over the Jack
et's Rich Yunkus
Yunkus led all scorers with 31 points,
but Lienhard tallied 23. canning an amaz
ing eight of nine from the field and seven of
eight from the iree throw line, while out
rebounding his adversary 16-7
Other stars for the Bulldogs included
Lanny Taylor whose outside shooting ac
counted for 19 points. Epling who made
several important steals in the final min
utes. and Cort Nagle who scored 10 points
and grabbed eight rebounds in addition to
defending Yunkus well in the late going
Tech, clad in an odd assemblage in
blue and green, jumped to an 11-point lead
20-9 with Yunkus sroring 12 quirk points
Georgia was bothered by Tech s slickly
full-court press and they were unable to
stop Yunkus but into the fray came Barry
Cohen and Nagle to rectify both predica
ments
Georgia was able to creep back to with
in 33-32 at halftime
The Dogs, now 10-6, lost to the Jackets.

The Georgia Bullpups whipped the in
ept Baby Jackets. 77-22 after building up
a huge early lead and holding on for the
victory Gino Gianfrancesco led the Pups
with 24 points
Pannell noted that the proposed change
would provide two way communication
between students and faculty
“If student opinion is to be taken seri
ously and to have any effect on the opinion
of the University Senate, then the Senate
is going to have to be informed as to what
student opinion is." he explained
“Also, the students are going to need a
direct link so they can realistically and
intelligently evaluate the faculty's posi
tion '

proposal has no impeachment clause, no

they were supposed to be or what they
