Court to enjoin the University, Barnes said he and More-
President Fred Davison and dock went to Vice President

information Wednesday after

the choice ot going to class, we
were disturbed by this "
At 1 p m Thursday Barnes
heard of the Friday call-off
After reading the Regents'
statement, he and Moredock
contacted Guy B Scott Jr . an
Athens Lawyer
"At first we thought we had
a good chance but it took more
and more time to get things
done said Barnes "As it was
the process was speeded up
considerably. Judge Barrow
scheduled our hearing for 12
noon Friday That was a blow to
our chances We realized that
we had little physical chance of
getting classes back
Barnes said that student
reaction to strikes on other
campuses in previous months
inspired the suit Specifically,
such action was taken at the
University of Tennessee dunng
the October Vietnam war mor
atorium. Barnes said
Barnes and Moredock also
filed a petition to Judge Rarrow
for a permanent injunction
against canceling classes Both
motions were denied
“Aside from the legal as
pects of our petition, we made
our point to President Davi

ot Regents," Barnes said He
noted that representatives of
the Board of Regents were pre
sent at the hearing
Barnes spoke to an official of
the Board of Regents and Uni
versity Provost S W Pelletier
after the hearing
Moredock said the petition
was "definitely not a token
move ." He said that he be
lieved that far less than 3.000
students supported the strike
He estimated 000. at the most,
were in support
Faculty, administrators
quizzed on UGA future
He re stated Barnes’ con
cern that even a minority of
3.000 could shut down the Uni
versity for 18.000 students While
noting that the Thursday op
tional class attendance rule fol
lowed l*resident Davison's con
ferring with student govern
ment officers. Moredock said
this ruling did not reflect the
wishes of the majority A ruling
by the Student Senate would
have been more representa
tive. in his opinion
Barnes stated that more
than 1.000 names, as of Friday,
have been signed to a petition
circulated by an "ad hoc com
mittee to keep classes open
The petition stated that, re
gardless of disagreement with
events at Kent State and in
Cambodia, the signers deplored
the ‘actions of a minority of
the student body and wished
for classes to remain open
Moredock said that '80 per : ;':

Several members of the
administration and faculty were
recently asked. “Do you think
the University of Georgia will
in the future become an upper-
division school, with little or no
emphasis on the lower divi
sion?’’
Here are the answers of
those polled
Joseph A Williams, dean.
College of Education: “I feel a
strong lower-division program
is necessary for good upper-di
vision students The College of
Education is a partner with all
the other parts of the Universi
ty. I don’t see us as an upper-
division school, but we do need
to make more resources availa
ble to the lower division to ob
tain a better student at the up
per level.”
William C. Flewellen. dean.
College of Business Adminis
tration T don’t see the role of
the University changing drasti
cally in the near future. Busi
nesses do not place a premium
on higher education — there is
little time or incentive for them
to get a higher degree. The
School of Business is not likely
to become an upper division
school soon ”
WARREN C. LEAMON, as
sistant editor. The Georgia
Review: i personally would
hate to see it. and I don’t thiiik
it will happen in the near fu
ture We are already tending to
treat lower-division students
like they were graduate stu
dents. and this is unfortunate.
We do need to be more selec
tive on the lower level so the
quality of students will be bet
ter.”

Michael Cohen, assistant
professor, political science:
"No. I don't think the "tail will
wap the dos" in the future The
University is an integral part of
the society of the state The
tradition has been instilled in a
lot of taxpayers that their
children should come to the
University of Georgia as a
freshman and that can t be eas
ily changed I do think the up
per-division program will be
strengthened, though”
Lindsey Cowen, dean. School
of Law: "As I understand the
projected plans, it will be main
ly upper division - not in the
next two years or so — but I'd
anticipate that over a period of
lime the number of upper-divi
sion students will grow We are
putting tighter quotas on the
number of students, so people
will have to be cut from some
where. primarily the lower di
vision."
HENDRIK T. REITSMA,
assistant prolessor, geography:
"Well. I think it will depend on
what happens in the high
schools I'm one of the people
who sees the importance of a
liberal arts education with a
change toward more freedom
in such things as electives. I
don't see us becoming upper-
division for at least the next 10
years."
J D Nance, assistant profes
sor. physics: "I think it would
be unfortunate to completely do
away with the first two years
and I would hate to see a com
pletely upper division Universi
ty. I tilin'- the University should
be able to take a better student
through the program from
freshman to graduate school
So many transfer students just
don t do as well as those who
started here."
Thomas H Whitehead, dean.
Graduate School: "The policy
ot the regents seems to be that
the number of lower-division
students will remain constant
and the number of upper-divi
sion students will grow I don't
think we can ever do away with
the lower division. Take just
one item: What would happen
to the athletic program it there
were no lower division? What
would happen to the capital
investment in the stadium' 1 And
do vou think the alumni would
really let us do away with the
lower division?"
Leon A. Hargreaves Jr., pro
fessor. forestry: "I don't see
the University of Georgia be
coming an upper-division school
in the future, but the number of
upper-division students will
certainly increase. I think a
strong upper-division program
is necessary — it seems to en
courage better lower-division
students.”
KENNETH L. WATERS,
dean. School of Pharmacy "I
can't say what the rest of the
University will do. but the
School of Pharmacy won't be
on an upper division level. Our
B.S. in Pharmacy qualifies stu
dents to practice at the end of a
five-year program, so the un
dergraduate degree is THE
degree so far as we re con
cerned We also have a differ
ent ratio of graduate studenLs
than other schools - 400 under
graduates as opposed to about
35 graduates ."

Poetter seeking commitment
By HARRY ZALOUMES
Stoff writer
According to University
Union President Rita Poetter.
the Union will try to get a defi
nite commitment from the
administration on a new Union
building
Miss Poetter said the new
building is “long overdue" and
facilities in Memorial Hall are
inadequate
A spring carnival will be the
Union's major project for next
year, said Miss Poetter
Called "Uganza." it will be a
four-day festival that will in
clude open-air concerts, organi
zation booths, speakers, picnics
and games
ANOTHER project of the
Union will be participation in
homecoming activities during
the football season Miss Poet
ter said the Union "will at
tempt to coordinate our activi
ties at homecoming with those
of the Interfratemitv Council
and Cultural Affairs so that
thev will not conflict '
