$18,000 Music Fund
Strays From Guidelines
By JOEL BLACKWELL
Staff Writer
Begins Monday
BA REVISION CURRICULUM
May Decide
A check of one large group of Student
Activity Fund spenders shows that the
Senate guidelines for the money may be
inadequate to accomplish what the Senate
wanted
For example, guideline number three
states that every request for money shall
be signed by at least one designated stu
dent member It seems obvious this
guideline was intended to insure student
participaton in decisions to spend the
money
HOWEVER, at least one large account
has a student signer who has little or no
decision making power regarding the
money
This particular account, the $4000 Con
cert Series, has as student treasurer Pat
Karvisch, a junior music major The
faculty advisor is Edwin Gershefski. head
of the music department
According to Miss Karvisch. when she
was designated' as student treasurer for
the concert series, she was not told her
signature constituted an approval or that
she had a veto power if she did not ap
prove
IN ADDITION to signing purchase re
quests for the concert series, she signs all
the purchase requests for the nine other
organizations in the music department
which get Student Activity funds although
she is not a member of several of them
This is in direct conflict with guideline
number three which states that the stu
dent signer shall be "a member of that
organization ."
However, this is merlely a bookeeping
convenience and was approved by John
Cox. director of student activities All the
performing music organizations have
separate accounts, but it is easier for the
bookeeper not to have to keep up with so
many separate signatures
ASKED ABOl'T her job as student
treasurer, and what she thought it meant
Miss Karvisch said. "I get them
(purchase requests I from the head of the
department I just sign everything he
gives me."
Refermg to whether or not she ever
questioned an expenditure she said.
There are so many organizations I just
can t keep up with them all"
Gershefski indicated that he thought he
had compbed with the Senate guidelines
as far as the concert senes was concerned
because a student signed the purchase
requests
He said he consulted' students and
faculty about expenditures, but admitted
that he made the final decision
AS FOR the nine other accounts, each
organization has a student who functions
as treasurer according to several faculty-
advisors. But none of these groups has
formal machinary to insure that all the
students know how money is being spent
and have a chance to approve or disap
prove
The music directors involved think
there is so much rapport between them
and the students that formal voting is not
necessary and a number of students con
tacted voiced no disapproval
The students seemed surprised to
learn that thev might be expected to de
cide whether or not to spend Student Ac
tivity monev
ASIDE FROM the concert series which
presents performers of a more classical
nature than those in cultural affairs
nine performing groups in the music
department received Student Activity
money this year The groups and the
amount of money they received for fisca 1
1970 are:
Collegium Musicum $1453
Women’s Glee Club 1257
Opera 1507
Men s Glee Club 1328
Band 6984
Georgia Singers 2064
Orchestra 2345
University chorus 2295
Brass choir 1155
Part of the problem stems from the
fact that the Senate did not allocate funds
to individual organizations, but gave a
lump sum of $18,000 to Gershefski as head
of the department Gershefski doled it out
as he and the music faculty saw fit.
Then the faculty members who had de
cided where the money would go contin
ued to dominate the spending derisions
An additional problem was that the
Senate guidelines do not refer to spend
ing' the money , only to allocating it
Georgia's SEC title hopes received a
crunching and perhaps fatal, blow, as
previously lowly Alabama defeated the
Bulldogs. 94-80 in Tuscaloosa, Ala., last
night
The Bulldogs cut a 10-point Crimson
Tide halftime lead to one on several occa
sions in the late going, but Alabama, play
ing nothing but sophomores, pulled away
again in the final moments behind the
clutch play of Jimmy Hollon and Doug
Gamble
Hollon finished with 34 points for the
night, and Gamble had eight, all at the end
of 'he game
Bob Lienhard paced Georgia with 32
points Jerry Eplmg had 17 Georgia is
now 11-7 overall. 9-2 in conference play
Georgia, desperately attempting to get
bark in the ballgamc and avert a stunning
upset, hit virtually everything they threw
up in the first 10 minutes of the second
half
They cut the margin to 69-67 with 10
minutes to plav. thanks to torrid shooting
from Ephng and Lienhard. but Alabama
jumped back in front by six, 75-69. with
only eight minutes left
Lienhard then hit a three-point play,
and then another basket, but cut the score
to 75-74 The teams then began to trade
baskets, with Georgia never able to cap
ture the lead
Lanny Taylor's jumper cut the lead to
81-80 with four minutes to play, and Geor
gia looked as if they might pull the game
out. but their hopes were quickly dashed
as the home team pumped in nine of the
next 11 points That iced the game for the
Tide at 90-82 with 1 10 left Hollon and
A letter to Gershefski from Senate
treasurer Robert Fortson stated that
"your spending will be restricted by the
attached twelve guidelines as established
by the Senate." but the guidelines say no
thing about student participation except
for signatures.
Edwin Gershefski
Gamble worked loose for baskets almost
at will
Georgia put on perhaps its worst pro
longed display of basketball of the year, in
the process of being beaten 49 39 in the
first half
Alabama, butt of jokes in SEC circles
until the last two weeks, and hapless loser
to Georgia in their first meeting, in De
cember completely dominated play in the
first 20 minutes
They outrebounded, outran, outhustled
and outplayed the Bulldogs, who were def
initely down for the game
Alabama jumped to a 7-2 lead early in
the game, but most teams usually do grab
the early margin on the Dogs What made
this situation different was that the Crim
son Tide continued to widen the margin
Alabama had an incredible 47-33 lead
with a minute to go in the half outrunning
the drab Dogs lor layup after layup
Alan House, a heretofore mediocre
forward, had 12 points in the first six min
utes of play and ended the half with 16
Jimmy Nollon added 13 in the first half
Bob Lienhard snapped out of his early-
game doldrums to lead the Dogs with 13
first-half points Lanny Taylor had nine
Georgia came the closest when it nar
rowed the gap to 29 18. but Bama rattled
off six straight points and kept a safe lead
for the rest of the half with House domi
nating the boards and Hollon directing the
offense
The Georgia freshmen saw their record
drop to 7-6. as they lost to the Alabama
yearlings. 115-88 Chip Vaughn led the
Bullpups with 20 points, and Gmo Gian-
francesco and Tom Abrahamson had 19
and 18 each, respectively

If the Arts and Sciences faculty fin
ishes discussion on a new bachelor of
arts curriculum tomorrow 400(1 BA
undergraduates may have a pretty
good idea what changes might be possi
bilities for them starting next fall
But the effect of the proposed
changes on the University's other 9090
undergraduates is less clear The big
gest change if it is approved by the
News Analysis
University Council, would be the reduc
tion of the required number of hours
needed to graduate from 195 to 180
This reduction, however, would not
automatically alter the degree require
ments established by other schools and
colleges on campus
IF THE University Council approves
the reduction, that will mean schools
and colleges must require at least 189
hours for graduation but they can re
quire more
Deans and assistant deans across
campus expressed mixed feelings on
how a reduction in degree require
ments would affect requirements in
their divisions Some schools, like busi
ness administration and journalism,
are not considering the possible influ-
the same level
The reduction of total hours needed for
graduation to 180 is one of the proposals
which must be approved by the University
Council The Council must also approve
the faculty's suggestion that credit for
basic physical education and basic ROTC
courses be withdrawn
THE STATE legislature must act on
the faculty's proposal to do away with the
required American and Georgian history
and constitution test
The following proposals are included in
the package coming up probably for final
consideration by the Arts and Sciences
faculty tomorrow (unless otherwise not
ed, only McWhorter's approval is needed
on these suggestions i
• To lower the English requirment
from 10 hours to five hours, to be satisfied
by ting 102 If Eng 101 were required, no
credit would be given for it The Council
must approve the reduction of English
credit.
• TO RETAIN 10 hours of literature,
but broaden the courses which can be tak
en to satisfy the requirement Eng 121.122
and four foreign language literature
courses are the only courses which can be
taken to satisfy the requirement current
ly. Under the faculty's suggestion, these
would be augumented by an American and
a Russian literature course or any other
approved by the department in which the
course is taught
• To retain the 19 hour history require
ment but. instead of forcing students to
take history 111-112 to satisfy the require
ment as is now the case, the faculty is
suggesting accepting history 251-252 or
any other course approved by the depart
ment
• To raise the fine arts requirement
from five or six hours to 15. Under the
proposal, the current fine arts area of
music, art and drama would be broad
ened to include philosophy and religion
• TO LOWER the social science re
quirement from 25 to 29 hours while per
mitting it to be satisfied by students se
lecting "from two or more of the follow
ing areas: anthropology, economics, polit
ical science, psvchologv. sociology and
speech "
• To retain the required 19 hours of
math, but boraden the range of courses
which can be taken in fulfillment of the
requirement In addition, the faculty is
suggesting taking away credit for math
100 •
• To maintain the 20 hour science re
quirement. but allow it to be fulfilled by
any 10-hour physical science sequence and
any 10-hour biological science sequence
• TO RETAIN 40 hows in the student's
declared field to establish a major.
At least 20 of those 40 would come from
senior division courses in one subject and
20 from the major subject or the division
of the major
• To allow 30 to 40 hours of electives to
complete the 180 hours The variance de
pends upon the foreign language require
ment just as it does under the current sys
tem Under the faculty's proposal, neither
basic ROTC nor basic PE courses could
be counted in these elective hours
ence until the reduction becomes a
reality.
The School of Home Economics and
Forest Resources and the College of
Agriculture have indicated, essential
ly. that what Arts and Sciences does
will not affect them "It's their busi
ness" was the general attitude among
these schools where degree require
ments often run about 10 hours more
than the current minimum of 195
THE COLLEGE of Education, how-
"er. expressed the feeling that the
outcome of the Arts and Sciences pro
posal could definitely influence degree
requirements in that college because
of the large number of students who
transfer from one college to the other
The Arts and Sciences faculty is
suggesting a few major changes in the
curriculm but most of the changes are
minor Among the major changes are
the suggested reduction of hours to 180.
elimination of credit for basic ROTC
and basic PE courses, and the elimina
tion of the American and Georgian his
tory and constitution test
However within the confines of the
180 hours, the breakdown of require-
me- 's has not been radically altered
What is significant about the faculty's
revision, is that they are suggesting
more courses be accepted as suitable
for fulfilling the requirements
