Information centers opening,
Parthemos suggests alternatives
Student-faculty lounges, to
which “students and faculty
could repair for light and seri
ous conversations in an infor
mal atmosphere.' would be
excellent, the vice president
said.
Parthemos said he originally
suggested student-faculty loung
es and has supported student
government efforts to have them
established But a critical pro
blem is lack of space in Univer
sity buildings
Ted Hammock. Parthemos
assistant, will be working to
ward implementation of the
proposal again this year
"Lack of community among
various constituent members
of the University” is at the heart
of the communication problem.
Parthemos said
“ULTIMATELY, real com
munity must be based on a
sense that we are all involved
in the common pursuit of e’er-
lain objectives which transcend
our own individual selves, he
continued
We must have a basis of
truth and confidence in each
other that we are all working
together in the interest of each
other '
He said the prevalence of a
readiness to question others'
motives is disturbing people
must place more faith in one
another's desire and ability to
respond to challenges
In another interview. Burry
Wood, assistant director of the
Department of Campus Commu
nication — formerly the public
relations department said
the recent name change does
not reflect efforts to provide
services similar to those of
other universities' information
centers.
'Our thrust is still to tell the
storv of the University to our
public. Wood said, and the
name change was simply an
attempt to define more clearly
what the office is
“PUBLIC RELATIONS is
the teirn schools everywhere
are getting away from. Wood
said In effect we're still a
news and service office. "
He said the self-study has
brought about a new faculty
news letter, and calendars and
statements of position will be
issued more frequently to the
faculty.
Stories, films — we hope
everything we do helps student
faculty-administration commu
nication But we were not set
up specifically for that pur
pose.” said Wood.
The offices of the* president.
Parthemos and the dean of stu
dents are more directly con
cerned with such matters.
Wood said

Arch to receive funds
The University Arch, under which
many, thousands of students and visitors
have passed, may well be the nation's
onlyendowed campus gate
Collection has begun on a $1,000 be
quest in the will of Dan H. Redfcam of
Coral Gables. Fla., who was a Universi
ty of Georgia alumnus.
Money from the fund is being used to
repair several holes in the three metal
columns of the Arch.
Mr. Redfearn, described by Universi
ty officials as one of the nation's leading
authorities on wills and bequests, direct
ed that interest from (lie money be used
“in perpetuity to keep painted and in
repair” the campus gate.
Erected in 1856 on the northern bound
ary of the University, the Arch is mod
eled after the Georgia state seal
Foursome found Men's Lib,
step from behind lady's skirts
Beware* all advocates of the
women's liberation movement
both here on the Georgia campus
and elsewhere!
A word of warning must be
issued because, according to a
recenl report, four men in Los
Angeles have spear headed the
Men's Liberation Movement by
forming a corporation called
Men s Lib Inc.
Since men are in the minori
ty in this country, and since
wom{n alreidy have 60 per
cent of the rights, the Found
ing foursome, as they call
themdelves. have stepped out
from behind their wives', moth
ers'. teachers', and secretar
ies' skirts declaring that they
are big boys now and ready to
make some demands of their
own
The men have organized for
several specific reasons First,
they feel that American Man
hood is in danger of being lost
altogether
“MEN TRIED to be tolerant
when women insisted on shar
ing the pants in the family and
when they invaded the once
sacrosanct pool halls which they
renamed parlors." the Found
ing Foursome explain
Thty further state, “Men
bravely fought the wars and
generously gave women 80 per
cent of the naUonal income to
spend They didn t complain
about the higher mortality rate
or the lower longevity of males,
but the Women's Lib Move
ment has proved that the fem
ale doesn't have it in her to be
grateful.
It is /lot only for themselves
that the Founding Foursome
are putting forth this last-ditch
effort • to rally American man
hood to fight for equal rights
for men. it is for their sons, so
say the "fearless four.” These
innocent babies are even now
being diapered by some radical
females who are bent on exploi
tation.
AT THE RISK of burned,
mis typed letters, and unironed
handkerchiefs, to say the least,
the Founding foursome are
asserting their rights to retain
the traditional pride in being
men We couldn't look our
sons in the eye if we did less,"
they say.
The men make it clear that
their quarrel is not with the
sweet, feminine kind of women
they have always cherished and
appreciated. They are ueclar-
ing battle with the military
women who are using the
Womens Liberation Movement
as a weapon for their own psy
chological vendettas
The Men's Liberation
Movement started as a ground
swell but it is gaining momen
tum which has astonished the
Founding Foursome
Sanford,
Ag. streets
re-routed
Two major changes in traffic-
flow were made during the
summer quarter which return
ing students should note
Sanford Drive has been
changed to a one-way street
going south from the intersec
tion of Cedar Street to Green
Street.
Also, Ag Drive going north
from the intersection of Green
Street to Cedar Street has been
converted to a one-way street.
"We had no idea there were
so many men who feel just as
we do, " they say, "but it gives
us a good feeling to know that we
are not standing out there all
alone battling those females
Some of those Women's libs are
fierce."
Vomen buy most of our
clothes, choose most of our
friends and tell us where we
can smoke our cigars, but we
haven't minded because we
have enjoyed protecting, cher
ishing and pampering them,"
the men say.

Managing aditer
Various forms of informa
tion centers set up recently at
several univeisities may not be
the best way to facilitate stu-
dent-faculty-administration
communication. University
Vice President George Parthe-'
mas says.
"I think this matter of com
municating on the campus goes
a little bit beyond some of these
more formal mechanisms."
Parthemos, vice president for
instruction, told an interview
er.
"Opening effective channels
of communication is really the
job of everyone,” he explained
Parthemos said the adminis
tration has no plans to establish
such an information center
here, though "we should ex
plore every possible avenue"
and the administration is re
ceptive to suggestions
EXAMPLES of information
centers on other campuses:
•Students, parents, alumni,
citizens and reporters can dial
a special 24-hour telephone
number at the University of
Kansas to receive up-to-date,
official university information.
A graduate student who is
working toward a doctorate in
speech communication and
human relations is acting direc
tor of the center
• "Switchboard.” a volun
teer off-campus agency at the
University of California at San
ta Barbara, serves primarily as
a referral agency for all types
of student problems, ranging
from emotional problems to
draft counseling It also is a
rumor control center in crisis
periods.
•At Pennsylvania State
University, an Office for Stu
dent Discussions has been set
up to contribute to a climate of
open discussion. The universi
ty's president will have two
student and two faculty assist
ants working in his office this
year.
•Two recent college gradu
ates are planning a program for
South Dakota State Universi
ty's Pueslev Union that will
bring students faculty and ad
ministrators together to "talk
and understand each other as
people and not as individuals in
their respective, structured
roles."
PARTHEMOS said "certain
mechanisms, devices and for
mal organizations" can help
intra-University communica
tions, and he listed several now
inexistence:
•The annual State of the
University Address delivered
by the president, initiated last
year.
•Hie pre-school “Dia
logue" conferences of students,
faculty and administrators
sponsored each fall by the Uni
versity Leadership Board, an
agency of the student activities
department.
•Student government, which
he said is especially well equip
ped to facilitate communication
among student groups them
selves — a problem he sees as
becoming increasingly impor
tant (A new student govern
ment "Action Line" will serve
some of the functions of an
information center. I
•Frequent meetings be
tween student government cab
inet members, who specialize
in specific problem areas, and
their counterparts in the ad-
minsitration
•The University Health
Services, the Psychology Clin
ic, the tutorial program and
other counseling services deal
ing with academic, personal
and other problems
•Inclusion of students at all
levels in the institutional self-
study Students will help write
the final report
In addition, proposed revi
sions of University statutes and
by-laws call for student mem
bership on the University Coun
cil (faculty policy-making
body) and its standing commit
tees. Parthemos pointed out.
OTHER, less formal com
munication comes when faculty
and administrators keep th“ir
doors open to students for ad
visement and discussion
Parthemos said he maintains
such an open-door policy and
encourages others to do the
same
