Associate nows editor
A new Family Housing build
ing containing a post office and
community room as well as
equipment used in the upkeep
of married housing units has
opened at 710 East Campus
Road
John D. Storey, manager of
family housing, is in charge of
the building and its related ac
tivities.
The community room is a
new idea in ministering to the
needs of married students At
tractively decorated and fur
nished with an adequate num
ber of chairs and sofas, the
room can be divided into two
rooms by a partition so that two
groups may use it at once
An adjoining kitchen makes
the room ideal for socials or
teas at which refreshments will
be served
Storey said he hopes the
meeting room will be used by
the Dames Club and other
organizations We will depend
a great deal on students for
ideas on how to use the com
munity room." he said
IN THE NEW building as a
service to student families bu'
also available to faculty and
staff is a contract post office
Post office boxes may be rent-
Officials endorse
insurance offer
ed for 35 cents a month: other
postal services are also availa
ble.
Another feature is a multi
purpose room which holds a
large board with keys hanguig
on labeled hooks so that hous
ing officials can tell at a glance
which units are available
Plans are underway for 244
new housing units to be built
across the street from the
Family Housing building.
These apartments should be
completed in late 1972 or early
1973. according to Dr Richard
C. Armstrong, director of hous
ing
STOREY SAID that the wait
ing period from time of appli
cation until an apartment be
comes available is approxi
mately 11 months for couples
without children and nine
months for married students
with families.

A low cost insurance plan for
University students and their
dependents is now available
through the University Health
Services.
Lloyd Baird. Health Services
administrator, explained the
Student Accident and Sickness
Insurance plan was designed by
students, members of the
Health Services and insurance
specialists. The plan has re
ceived endorsement from Uni
versity President Fred C Davi
son and Student Body president
Bob Hurley
“Most insurance policies
held by parents do not cover
students." Baird said. "These
family policies usually end cov
erage when a dependent reach
es 18."
The student plan is serviced
by The Messer Enterprises and
underwritten by Guarantee
Tiust Life Insurance Company
Messer was chosen on a com
petitive bid basis to provide the
lowest possiblt cost to stu
dents, Baird stated.
THE ONE-YEAR POLICY
covers students while they are
at the University and When they
are not." he explained "It is
designed to cover treatment
such as intensive care and
Unique classes open
for non-credits
Some Athens area housewives may well find themselves
under the same academic roof as PhD students and telephone
operators this fall at the University.
But students who enroll in one of 13 community program
classes starting in October won t be competing for grades
since they won't receive any credit for their coursework
We re trying to reach all different segments of society,"
says Jack Huff, coordinator of the adult education program at
ihe Georgia Center for Continuing Education So this fall's
class offerings range from "Selection and Care of Wigs and
Hairpieces." taught bv an Athens cosmetologist, to "Pagan and
Christian Rome, taught by a University faculty member
WHEN HUFF SPEAKS of flexibility in the program, he's;
talking about a "wide open" curriculum. "Anybody and every
body" gives him suggestions for the next quarter's class topics,
he says
Often ideas come from special interest groups A year long
professional secretarial course starts next month, for example
sponsored partially by the Athens chapter of the National Sec
retaries Association.
Hoping to attract more low-income students to the program,
he's working on a plan to offer tutition-free classes by volunteer
instructors "We want to meet the needs of as many socioecon
omic groups as possible This program can do a lot for the rela
tionship between the city and the University '
Complete information and registration forms for this fall's
classes art available at the Center for Continuing Education
Classes are filled on a first-come first-served basis, so interest
ed persons are asked to register immediately (or the October

Computer studies molecules
There are nearly three mil
lion known chemical com
pounds and each one is made up
of its own particular molecules
Dr. Norman L. Allinger. a
University chemist studying
molecular structure, said that
is why he has turned to the
computer
The study of the structure of
molecules in creating new
compounds and drugs uses
common physical and mathe
matical laws.
Molecules, the smallest units
of an element or compound,
have bonds, systems of
weights, springs and stresses
like other physical structures
but the possibilities for differ
ent molecules are astronomi
cal. said Allinger So. he uses a
computer to handle the mathe
matics needed in the lengthy
calculations
MANUALLY CALCULAT
ING the structure of a single
new molecule could take any
where from a few months to a
year, Allinger says. "Using the
computer, it can be done in one
week."
The computer method is
quite different from the way
drug companies must now syn
thesize compounds to create
new drugs They do it by mak
ing several that are close in
effect to one that they know
almost works, according to the
chemist By experimentation
with the different compounds,
they find the one with the effect
they want.
We re not studying drugs by
injecting tilings into animals.
Allinger says. "We are trying
to understand why the complex
three-dimensional structure of
molecules exists and calculate
which drug will have the de
sired effect without the time-
consuming . experimentation.
We study how these things re
act in a test tube."
With the computer cutting
research time, the work of the
University chemist should con
tribute la faster and cheaper

Air force ROTC opened to women
rolled under the GI Bill in train
ing above the high school level
at an approved educational in
stitution on at least a half-time
basis.
The school must furnish cer
tification that the individual
needs tutorial help in order to
avoid failing a course which is
an essential part of his educa
tional program
An individual may use the
Tutorial Assistance program
for a maximum period of nine
months and he may receive
payment up to $50 a month as
reimbursement for the tutoring
services
Veterans interested in the pro
gram may obtain information
and applications thrugh the

The University Air Force
ROTC program may have a
new look this fall as the pro
gram is opened to female stu
dents for the first time.
Test programs for women in
AFROTC were initiated sever
al years ago at Drake Universi
ty. Ohio State University. East
Carolina University and Au
burn University. The program
for women worked out so well
that it was approved last July
for implementation in any uni
versity that wanted to admit
females to its AFROTC pro
gram. according to Col. Jack T.
Davis, professor of aerospace
studies.
Coeds who enter the pro
gram are eligible for all AF
ROTC programs except flight
instruction, and they will be
able to compete for APROtC
scholarships, except four-year
scholarships which are availa
ble only to pilot-qualified candi
dates.
AFROTC SCHOl^ARSHIPS
provide full tuition, incidental
fees, an allowance for books
and $50 a month in non-taxable
subsistence allowance Female
cadets who are not on scholar
ship will receive the same ben
efits as males — $50 a month
subsistence allowance during
the last two years of the AF
ROTC program
Another feature of the pro
gram is that coeds will receive
commissions as Air Force offi
cers upon graduation and suc
cessful completion of the
AFROTC program The first
women cadets from the four
trial schools will be commis
sioned as Air Force Second
Lieutenant* at the conclusion of
the 1970-71 school year. Women
officers have an initial service
commitment of tour years.
Female cadets will attend
summer this camp was con
ducted at Myrtle Beach Air 1
Force Base. S.C.
Davis pointed out that in the
past it was possible for women
to enroll in air science courses
as electives but that none had
ever completed a course to his
knowledge He said that a fem
ale enrolled in either an air sci
ence course or the AFROTC
program would be required to
participate in leadership labo
ratories (drills), also
MAJOR MERLIN Darling
military science professor, said
that any student who is enrolled
in the University may take a
military science course but
that there is no plan for women
to enroll in the Army ROTC
program
