University dininp halls this
year will net require that meal
coupons be used on specific
days, weeks or even quarters
University Food Services is
also offering two new student
dining plans in a further effort
to increase the flexibility of
meal plans
The only time limit for use of
meal tickets purchased this
academic year will be Decem
ber. 1971 — or six months after
the end of the academic year -
according to Glenn Gerrett.
director of food services
Between purchase and expi
ration of his ticket, a student
will be able to use it for a num
ber of meals up to the limit
specified, with each meal re
stricted to a maximum cash
value
A total of sue nicdl plans are
offered the four old plans of
fering a student the equivalent
of two meals a day five days a
week, two meals a day seven
days a week, three meals a day
five days a week, or three
meals a day seven days a week;
and two new plans featuring
special prices for students who
want to eat breakfast and one
other meal per day
SINCE THE breakfast menu
costs less than lunch or dinner.
Food Services is able to offer
five- and seven-day plans at
lower prices for those who
know they will ea* breakfast,
said Gerrett
All meal plans are more
expensive this year because of
the combination of using food
and labor costs as well as the
wider variety in meal plan of
ferings. according to Gerrett
New clinic to cut
patient waiting time
Meal tickets may be used in
Bolton and Snelling cafeterias
and the Bulldog Room snack
bar Only Bolton Hall will
be open on weeks, and no Sun
day evening meals will be
served.
When a student pays for a
meal plan he is issued a coupon
booklet containing sufficient
coupons to last approximately
one-third of the quarter Lost
meal booklets cannot be re
placed but by limiting the num
ber of tickets m each booklet,
the personal loss from theft or
other disappearance is mini
mized. Gerrett said
HE EXPLAINED that each
booklet contains a detachable
coupon which may be ex
changed for an additional book
let at any time the meal plan
participant desires by surrend-
ing the exchange coupon to the
Food Services business office
in Snelling Hall
Since coupons are not re
stricted to use on specific days
or weeks, students will be able
to make up for missed meals.
Gerrett said All booklets will
remain valid for a period of six
months bevond the end of the
Establishment of the Rapid
Treatment Clinic should cut
waiting time for students to a
minimum, according to Univer
sity Health Services Director
John Curtis.
We are trying to offer as
complete and as efficient
health care as we can. Curtis
said "We have found that a
physician performs a lot of du
ties that he really doesn't need
to. To be more efficient we are
stressing appointments and
levels of treatment
Curtis said the first level of
the clinic is called Self Medica
tion Students who suffer from
colds and other minor ailments
will be given a health informa
tion pamphlet. If medication
such as asprin or cough syrup is
needed a student will be direct
ed to the Health Services phar-
maev
THE SECOND level is called
Nurse's Evaluation and Treat
ment A student will have his
temperature taken by a nurse
who will determine if he should
see a physician
Two rooms were converted
over the summer to make the
Rapid Treatment Clinic. Stu
dents will be treated in the clin
ic on a walk-in basis. Curtis
said If his condition warrants
further treatment immediate
ly. the student will be seen by a
doctor who will handle cases
without appointments primari
ly The other Health Services
physicians will see patients on
an appointment basis
In-patient care is the final
level of the clinic. One physi
cian will threat a student and
receive consultations when
necessary
Curtis said the success of the
new system depends on the
cooperation of students He
asks that whenever possible
students make appoint nents by
calling 2-4665 for physical
health treatment and 2-4715 for
mental health treatment

More than 50 University stu
dents and former students ap
parently were still waiting for
full refunds this week from the
travel agency that cancelled
their summer flight to Europe
four days before it was to take
off
Jane Allen of College Park,
who complained about the agen
cy to the Atlanta Constitution s
Action Line, said Sunday she
knew of no one in the Universi
ty group who had been refunded
the $34 taken from each travel
payment for telegrams and
administrative fees.
Student Travel, Inc., the
agency, apparently was still
engaged in a Texas lawsuit
aimed at forcing it to pay back
all payments or face a $10,000
fine, she said
The University Union also
was trying to get the money
back
THE STUDENTS paid $458
each in advance for the trip,
arranged by the Union. When it
was cancelled on June 6. all but
the $34 was paid back.
The company told Miss Bev
erly Basenese. program advis
er for the Union, that it can
celled because a Texas college
group with which the local
group was to travel broke the
affinity clause of the contract.
Only students, faculty, ad
ministrators and their immedi
ate families were eligible for
the trip under the affinity clause
Miss Basenese said she was
told a too-uberal policy in ad
mitting persons to the trip dis
qualified the Texas group
The airline complu»neu that
admission of unqualified per
sons would hurt its commercial
business. Miss Basenese was
told.
Recommendations from
Athens Ntval Supplv Corps
School students who had taken
Student Travel’s tours and an
investigation of the company s
eight-year history had given the
Union no reason to expect the
difficulties. Miss Basenese
said.
JANE ALLEN and her sister
Emily complained to Action
Line, which found that com
plaints of similar cases had
previously been registered with
ner; or he may purchase a
breakfast-lunch, breakfast-
dinner. lunch-dinner or break-
fast-lunch-dinner plan
THE BREAKFAST cost is 95
cents, lunch is $1 25 and dinner
is $1.50 Meals may be bought
on a daily cash basis or on
quarterly or monthly meal con
tracts.
Monday through Friday
breakfast is served from 7 a m.
to 9 a m., lunch from 11 a m. to
1 30 p.m., and dinner from 5 to
6 30p.m.
Saturday hours are 8-9 a m.
for breakfast, 11 a.m.-l p.m.
for lunch, and 5-6 30 for dinner
On Sunday breakfast is served
from 10 a m. to noon and dinner
from 4:30-6 p.m.
About 3 a m on a Sunday
morning between the end of
summer school and the begin
ning of fall quarter, an uniden
tified antagonist tossed a Molo
tov cocktail through a window
of the Military Building
According to Maj. Merlin
Darling, assistant professor of
military science, a quart-size
soft drink bottle filled with
some type of flammable liquid
with a cloth wick in it was
thrown through a classroom
window in the southeast comer
of the building It landed on the
floor under a chair and the
smoke activated the sprinkler
system, which put out the fire
Total damage amounted to
one burned chair which had to
be refinished, two broken panes
of glass and several melted
floor tiles, all of which have
been replaced
DARLING SAID he believes
the incident was not the job of a
dissident faction of campus but
that of pranksters out on a Sat
urday night, looking for excite
ment
What many persons don t
realize is that this building is
University property and does
not belong to Uncle Sam." Dar
ling said One who tries to
burn down the building doesn't
hurt anyone but the University,
because they must then provide
other classrooms
Darling pointed out that per
sons convicted for burning
buildings were receiving harsh
er sentences
He said at a college in St.
Louis. Mo., last year a man
burned down the ROTC building
and was caught and convicted
under violation of the sabotage
act-which was enacted during
World War II to convict Ger
man and Japanese saboteurs
for hampering the war effort
In February. 1969. two mem
bers of Students for a Demo
cratic Society tried to burn the
University's Military Building
down, and both were caught
and convicted, according to
Darling
Students awaiting refund
from dropped Europe trip
the Texas Better Business Bu
reau.
As a result of the snafu. Tex
as attorney general filed suit
against Student Travel
The case was similar to
those faced by countless trav
elers." according to a New
York Times News Service dis
patch issued June 26
The travelers sign up for
charter and group-fare flights
to Europe and then find they
can't go at the last minute be
cause plane seats are filled or
flights or cancelled, according
to the copyrighted article
THE PROBLEM is that cer
tain airlines and travel agen
cies violate federal regulations
by accepting unqualified pas
sengers ana or over-booking
flights. said government
sources quoted in the article
"Often, when they ask for
their money back, the travelers
are refused or dunned for cash
penalities of 25 per cent of the
original ticket price, the arti
cle said.
Flights with unqualified pas
sengers are cancelled as the
result of investigation by the
Civil Aeronautics Boad or the
airlines themselves

Dean Rusk, former U S. sec
retary of state, plans this
quarter to conduct a series of
public discussions with stu
dents on various issues related
to international law. Law
School Dean Lindsey Cowen
said this week
"His overall roll is to be in
contact with as manv students
as possible in as many situa
tion:; as possible." Cowen said
Rusk, apptwnted last winter
as a professor of inteinati«>nal
and comparative law here, will
assume his duties Oct. 2 Cowen
said he is now in Washington.
DC., recovering from surgery
performed during the summer
THE DISCUSSIONS, which
Cowen calls afternoons with
Rusk, will be the former sec
retary's main activity for fall
quarter Rusk, however, is
expected to participate as a vis
itor in some international law
courses offered this fall
He will teach two courses
each of winter and spring
quarters dealing with interna
tional law and relations
"These will be relatively
small classes and seminars in
rather advanced work. Cowen
said, but "we can schedule
them in rooms that will permit
students from outside the law
school to sit in if interest is
sufficient
Cowen sa.d Rusk will be
available for occasional partic
ipation in courses in other
schools and departments —
particularly political science
when they discuss his areas of
expertise
THOUGH PUNS have wit
been finalized for the fall
quarter discussions. Cowen
said thev probably will take
the form of question-and-an-
swer exchanges between six or
eight students and Rusk
Through a theater-in-the
round arrangement, about 200
others could listen to the dis
cussions and perhaps ask ques
tions in writing
The law school dean said he
expects interest in the discus
sions to be so great that admis
sion will have to be on a ticket
Iwsis - if onlv "to give some
idea ot the demand
IT MAY BE possible to open
the discussions to more people
through closed-circuit televi
sion. Cowen suggested
For eight years. Husk served
as secretary of state under
Presidents John F Kennedy
and Lyndon B. Johnson He was
appointed to the law school
faculty over protests from Gov
Lester Maddox and several
members of the Board of Re
gents
Objections were raised to
Rusks "liberal posture and
rok* in the Vietnam war when
he was secretary of state; to
his not having a law degree
and. said some news accounts,
to his daughter's marrying a
Negro
When the Regents voted,
though. Rusk's appointment
carried by a 10-4 vote
