Hurley takes student p»TvioiESicE
war views to senators statement
WASHINGTON. DC. - Stu
dent Government President
Bob Hurley led a four-man dele
nation to Washington. DC.
during the break between
spring and summer quarters to
meet with Senator Herman
Talmadge and Charles Camp
bell. administrative assistant
to Senator Richard B Russell,
as representatives of Universi
ty students' views on the war in
Indochina
Vice President Mike Wil
loughby and Student Senators
Jim Purcell and Charles Hun-
nicutt accompanied Hurley
They presented Talmadge
and Campbell with the resuls of
the May student referendum on
the Southeast Asian situation
and informed them of the Stu
dent Senate s motion opposing
the war and the Cambodian
incursion.
THE STUDENTS
LEARNED that both senators
oppose various proposed
amendments to cut off funds
for military operations in
Southeast Asia by certain
dates, and both agree the best
Congressional approach would
be a concurrent resolution tell
ing the President to pull the
troops out of Indochina
T. Unadge said he would "se
riously consider such a resolu
tion and Campbell said Russell
would also, so long as a move
would not endanger American
troops there.
Both also agreed, however,
that such a motion would come
from a member of the Senate
Foreign Relations or Armed
Services committees, in other
words, from senators who have
greater expertise in suggesting
a withdrawal date
TALMADGE SAID that he
feels the President should call
a joint session of Congress and
announce he is stepping up
troop withdrawals around the
world because the United
States "is overcommited mili
tarily. politically and economi
cally " Talmadge said that sot
per cent of the world's popula
tion cannot be "Santa Claus,
policeman and banker' for the
world
Talmadge said he opposes
several recently proposed
amendments which would cut
off funds for military opera
tions in Indochina He contends
such action would usurp the
powers of the President as
Commander-in-Chief by tying
his hands and inhibiting his
freedom to act as necessary in
that capacity The Senate floor
Bracewell relates
national conclave
By PATRICE WAITERS
Associate ne vs editor
"In its approach to student
behavior, the University of
Georgia is years ahead of many
institutions.' said Bill Brace-
well. assistant to Dean William
Tate, in a discussion of a con
ference. Student Protest and
the Law." which he recently
attended.
Bracewell said the confer
ence. which was held on the
University of Michigan campus
at Ann Arbor, featured speech
es by highly professional people
concerning the legal aspects of
campus disruptions
A new development on many
campuses is the office of stu
dents' attorney, which was ex
plained at the conference Bra
cewell said He said that a law
yer is hired out of student activ
ities funds and has no relation
ship to the university adminis
tration
The person occupying this
position is in a precarious
place, according to Bracewell.
as he is caught between the
American Bar Association,
students and administrators
He cannot represent students
who file suit against the univer
sity. and he cannot accept
criminal cases in town, so he is
primarily responsible for advis
ing students of their rights
THE RESPONSE of the pub
lic to damage of facilities dur
ing campus disruptions was
another subject of discussion at
the conference Bracewell
pointed out that it is becoming
increasingly difficult to obtain
insurance on buildings which
might be damaged as a result
of campus disorders
He said that the University
of Wisconsin is contemplating a
$100 fee per quarter to pur
chase student insurance poli
cies on campus facilities.
Bracewell said the public
reaction to student disorders is
something which universities
must face "We must be realis
tic — we are not an isolated
pocket on the edge of society.
We are a social institution and
we must realistically evaluate
society's response to us We are
no longer the ivy-covered tower
— we are firmly integrated into
the total society and there are
responses to us. against us. in
favor of us. "he said
"Students must share this
responsibility with the adminis
tration.” said Bracewell. He
said that at Georgia and other
universities parents and stu
dents have filed federal suits
against the schools for closing
and denying the students access
to educational facilities.
"IT IS PARADOXICAL that
those who have been most vocal
in protests have been crying out
for the University to become a
part of and relevant to society
— and then as soon as we be
come a part of society we are
eligible for civil suits and in
junctions. Bracewell said
He said that at a survey con
ducted at the conference no judi
cial systems as complete as the
University's were discovered
"We have a truly exceptional
police department — highly
professional and well-educat
ed; their response to students
is rational and reasonable The
general attitude held bv admin
istrative officials is healthy,
receptive toward students and
student issues." Bracewell
said.
He pointed out that in the
state of California last year the
budget was cut 99 per cent for
capital outlays (classrooms
and other facilities! and no in
creases were allotted for facul
ty salaries
"The University has a simi
lar funding system — money
comes from the legislature to
the Board of Regents to us. and
these officials may not have the
patience of Job.
“I WAS NOT AWARE before
of the really repressive actions
taken by legislatures in other
slates: bills have been intro
duced to take the responsibility
for student behavior away from
the universities and put it in the
hands of the state police. In
some states it is a violation of
state laws to become involved
in student disorders." Bracew
ell said
“Our students previously
lived on campus but were iso
lated — s <denly they have
become intimately involved in
what is going on
"I don t know what Presi
dent Nixon and Congress are
likely to do. or if it will create a
situation like we had last
spring These issues are of real
concern to our students and
students will respond to them
- the nature of their response I
can t predict I personally don t
think shutting down is an appro
priate response." Bracewell
said
is no place "to prescribe the
perimeters of a battlefield." he
said.
IN ADDITION, both men
noted that the effect of such
amendments would be theoreti
cal, not practical, because the
House has already turned down
a number of similar proposals
and would probably turn down
these unless its members had a
sharp change of mind
Campbell admitted that the
President, practically, speak
ing. was the only one who could
effectively bring about troop
withdrawals
Willoughby told Talmadge
that he was afraid Nixon would
be content simply to continue
removing troops from South
east Asia when it was political
ly opportune, with the result
that the U S. might retain
forces there for years to come
BOTH TALMADGE and
Campbell said they believed
Nixon was committeed to re
moving all American troops
from Indo china at least by the
1972 presidential election cam
paign Campbell said chances
are "better than ever that all
combat troops will be out by
1972 "
Talmadge said Nixon real
ized he must get America out of
Vietnam in order to be re-e
lected President in two years
He knows the involvement "de
stroyed Johnson." the Senator
said "Except for someone who
loses his life or health in the
war. Nixon has more than any
one to lose by keeping troops in
Vietnam." Talmadge said
Nixon it a "coldblooded, realis
tic politician — and he knows
the situation." he added
CAMPBELL SAID he
thought public pressure had
forced Nixon to commit him
self publicly to a plan of troop
withdrawal, a committment
which would be difficult to go
back on.
The referendum results last
May showed, among other
things, that University studerts
opposed the presence of troops
in Vietnam by a 2.254 to 1.687
vote A few more students. 1,-
862. favored the Cambodian
intervention while 2.064 op
posed it.
The student leaders said they
saw the referendum as indicat
ing that students are confused
about the situation in Indo
china
Editor's no*e: This is the text of a "State
ment or. Disruptive and Obstructive Behav
ior" reaffirmed Wednesday of last week by
the University System's Board of Regents. It
was first adopted Oct 9. 1968. The reaf
firmed statement is identical to the first
one.l
The Board of Regents of the University
System reaffirms its policies to support fully
freedom of expression by each member of
the academic community and to preserve
and protect the rights and freedom of its fac
ulty members and students to engage in de
bate. discussion, peaceful and non-disruptive
protest and dissent. The following statement
relates specifically to the problem described
below It does not change or in any way infr
inge upon the Board's existing policies and
practices in support of freedom of expression
and action Rather, it is considered neces
sary to combat the ultimate effect of irre
sponsible disruptive and obstructive actions
by students and faculty which tend to destroy
academic freedom and the institutional
structures through which it operates
In recent years a new and serious problem
has appeared on many college and university
campuses in the Nation Some students, fac
ulty members, and others have on occasion
engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins and other
activities that have clearly and deliberately
interfered with the regular and orderly oper
ation of the institution concerned. Typically,
these actions have been the physical occupa
tion of a building or campus area for a pro
tracted period of time or the use or display of
verbal or written obscenities involving inde
cent or disorderly conduct
These actions have gone beyond all hereto
fore recognized bounds of meetings for dis
cussion. persuasion, or even protest, in that
(I) acquiescence to demands of die demon
strators is the condition for dispersal, and !2i
the reasonable and written directions on in
stitutional officials to disperse have been
ignored Such activities thus have become
clearly recognizable as an action of force,
operating outside all established channels on
the campus, including that of intellectual
debate and persuasion which are at the very
heart of education
The Board of Regents is deeply concerned
by this new problem Under the Constitution
of the State of Georgia. under all applicable
court rulings, and in keeping with the tradition
of higher education in the United States, the
Board is ultimately responsible for the 1 order
ly operation of the several institutions of the
University System and the preservation ol
academic freedom in these institutions The
Board cannot and will not divest itself of this
responsibility
Of equal or even greater importance, such
action of force as has been described above
destroys the very essence of higher educa
tion This essence is found in the unhampered
freedom to study, investigate, write, speak,
and debate on any aspect or issue of life This
freedom, which reaches its full flowering on
college and university campuses, is an essen
tial part of American democracy, compara
ble to the jurysystem or the electoral process
For these reasons and in order to respond
directly and specifically to this new problem,
the Board of Regents stipulates that any stu
dent, faculty member, administrator, or
employee, acting individually or in concert
with others, who clearly obstructs or dis
rupts, or attempts to obstruct or disrupt any
teaching, research, administrative, discipli
nary or public service activity, or any other
activity authorized to be discharged or held
on any campus of the University System of
Georgia is considered by the Board to have
committed an act of gross irresponsibility
and shall be subject to disciplinary proce
dures, possibly resulting in dismissal or ter
mination of employment.
The Board reaffirms its belief that all
segments of the academic community are
under a strong obligation and have a mutual
responsibility to protect the campus com
munity from disorderly, disruptive or ob
struciive actions which interfere with aca
demic pursuits of teaching, learning, and
other campus activities.
The Board of Regents understands that
% stitutional officials to disperse have been this policy is consistent with resolutions
|i;i ignored Such activities thus have become adopted by the American Association of Uni
versity Professors in April. 1968, by Uk Asso
ciation of American Colleges in January.

Association for Higher Education in March.

UGA costs more

Basic costs at the University
are getting higher every year
In fact, they are considera
bly higlier than both the national
and liie southern medians, ac
cording to a booklet published
by the Life Insurance Agency

Tuition, fees, room and
board at the University will be
$1377 for the academic year
1970-71. compared with a na
tional median charge of $1234
and a southern median of $1089
The life insurance company
booklet shows that it is still
cheaper to attend in state, pub
lic schools. Also, the cost of
higher education in the North
east is considerably higher than
in the rest of the country
RISING COSTS are only one
facet of a growing financial cri

have been closed down, many
dormitories have empty beds
