Former Secretary of State Dean Rusk
yesterday began his new position as pro
fessor of international law in the Universi
ty Law School
Rusk, who is a native of Georgia but
has not lived in the state since 1927. said
he is impressed with the University Law-
School and pleased with the opportunity
afforded him to work closely with stu
dents
In a Monday afternoon interview. Rusk
said he will not assume teaching duties
until winter quarter but said he hopes to
"make myself available to students-lhe
opportunity to work with young people
brought me down here and that will re
ceive highest priority
A SERIES CALLED afternoons with
Rusk is being planned, but Rusk said he
and Law School Dean Lindsey Cowen have
not yet worked out the details In addition
to his law classes and these sessions with
students, he hopes to drop in on political
science and history classes to discuss
with them things I've lived through and
they're now studying
Before he began his work with the State
Department. Rusk taught international
relations and government at Mills College
in Oakland. Calif At the same time he
worked toward a law degree at the Uni
versity of California but was called into
active Army Reserve duty and missed fin
ishing his last year of law school
Asked if the Board of Regents contro
versy over his appointment had any effect
on his decision to come to the University.
Rusk said. I’ve never been used to unan
imity The board's vote was very substan
tial-! didn t come here with a chip of my
shoulder about that.' 1 He added that he
was flooded with messages from the Uni
versity and all over Georgia, urging him to
accept the position here
WHEN UNIVERSITY i’resident Fred
Davison and University System Chancel
lor George Simpson brought up Rusk s
name before the Board of Regents last
December several members of the Board
were against Rusk's appointment The
final vote was !H in favor of giving Rusk
the position
Questioned about his activities during
the two years since he left office. Rusk
said he had dictated an oral history for the
Kennedy and Johnson presidential librar
ies "I have been putting on tape my recol

Monday through Friday, according to
Edward T. Kassinger. director of public
safety, but he said provisions are made to
make room for faculty members who need
to work on game days.
"We absolutely have to provide access
to faculty members," Kassinger said "If
an employee has to get in on Saturday,
we'll get him in "
Kassinger is the first to admit that the
parking situation is less than ideal when a
stadium-full of alumni and fans flood into
town
"All of our offices are committed on
lootball days. Kassinger said "We use
employees of the Athletic Department,
campus police and local authorities, he
added
THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT pays
all overtime for workers on Saturdays,
while the Public Safety Department pays
for all regular shift people
"1 know some people are inconveni
enced. Kassinger emphasized, but
we re talking about just five days a year
We just have to get people in and out of
here as quickly as possible '
To receive a parking permit for home
football games, a fan or aiumnus must
contribute at least (10 to the Athletic
Department There are more permits
than parking spaces. Smith says, so the
lots are on a first come-first serve basis,
starting at 8 a m. on Saturdays
Anyone can join the Bulldog Club for
as little as (10." Smith said "hie mem

University President Fred C. Davison
told students and faculty the Llniversitv is
"facing a crisis of maintaining the confid
ence of our sponsoring society" in the
second annual State of the University ad
dress last Thursday
Except for the McCarthy era. higher
education has been America's "favored
child” since World War II and has been
sponsored almost without question. Davi
son said.
“Within the past two or three years we
have seen this public acceptance erode so
that today we are the target for much crit
icism and in many ways find ourselves
separated from those people who sponsor
us by a growing loss of confidence." he
said.
SPEAKING IN THE FINE ARTS Audi
torium. Davison told a full house that the
University has faced many crises but has
maintained its integrity through history
"It is my firm belief that it has continued
this heritage and that today the image
that it has been forced to share with other
institutions is an unfair one "
He said the University is caught in a
"national web in which higher education
is being drawn by many as the source of
our problems rather than as a resource
for their solutions," and the University
must work even harder to assure that only
a minimum confidence gap exists be
tween the institution and its sponsoring
public.
Davison said the public he spoke of is
composed not only of students, faculty and
administration but also the chancellor's
office. Regents, legislators, alumni, par
ents and the public at large
"I cannot emphasize enough the im
portance of the understanding that must
exist between the University of Georgia
and its public, for without this understand
ing we will indeed cease to exist." he said
WHILE MANY CAMPUSES are being
plagued with a developing intellectual in
tolerance. the University must become
even more dedicated to the maintenance
of intellectual tolerance. Davison said
"We must recognize that while we on
this campus are an important segment of
society, we are only a minor segment of
'he life of this state, and that even if we
were in total agreement here we would
still be a relatively small minority in the
democratic svstem under which we live
Davison said. "An institution such as
ours will always be a place in which intel
lectual questioning and dissent will be the
order of the day
"Our problems today do not arise from
this kind of active seeking, exploring, dis
cussing or refining of information, but
they have arisen from the methods by
which we have expressed our differ
ences."
He said it is illogical for higher educa
tion to ask for the protection of its society
so that it may explore without interfer
ence and maintain a free forum for reason
and debate, and at the same time allow
any of its sub-groups to seek to impose by
disruption or violence its own position on
the rest of the University community and
perhaps the public at large
“IF WE AS EDUCATED people cannot
maintain a dispassionate and civil atmos
phere while we wrestle with difficult and
complex questions, many of which have
plagued mankind for 4.000 years to eur
knowledge." Davison said, "how can we
expect the rest of society to solve its prob
lems in an orderly and successful way ."
"Because of this." he said, it has been
my strong position that this institution
does not have a corporate conscience that
can be expressed either through me as
president of the University or through any
other individual or sub-group speaking for
the institution. "
Davison said he could think of no surer
way to accomplish the destruction of aca
demic freedom than by having the institu
tion express its opinion on issues beyond
those for which it was chartered or for
which it has prime responsibility
“WE MUST LEARN to talk to each
other rather than shout. We must retain
respect for each other rather than think
that only we are right, and we must work
with each other rather than at cross pur
poses. Davison said
He added that the University must
manage its community in such a way that
disruptions and infringements on the
rights of others are not tolerated and that
fairness is always our goal
Davison mentioned the growing gradu
ate program, essential research efforts
and a comprehensive self study as devel
opments which have helped better the

Students unaware of guest ticket sales date

By ROBBI BLANTON
Assistant news editor
All was quiet on the Coliseum front last
Thursday morning where guest ticket
sales were about to open for the remain
ing home games
Only a few students were seen around
the familiar windows where thousands
had fought in previous years to obtain the
precious guest tickets
Where were all the people' 1 Apparently
home in bed. unaware that at that very
moment the guest tickets were being sold
hot and heavy to anyone who was lucky
enough to have heard the proclamation
from the Athletic Department announcing
the sale
Most students interviewed said that
they were under the impression that the
sale of guest tickets would follow the pro
cedure outlined in the Student Ticket
Information to Athletic Contests bro
chure
THE PASSAGE concerning guest tick
et sales read The number of guest tick
ets for these games (Ole Miss. Vander
bilt. South Carolina, and Georgia Tech I is
entirely dependent upon the number of
coupon books sold to students at the sale
which ends September 30 If space re
mains guest ticket sale dates will be an
nounced through the Red and Black
Although sales did begin Thursday
morning Oct I. no mention was made of
the ticket sale in either Tuesday's or
Thursday s Red and Black because, ac
cording to the sports editors. "We were
not notified of the upcoming sale by the
athletic department
After checking with the athletic depart
ment as to why the Red and Black was not
notified, this reporter was told by a secre
tary' at the ticket office that Ted Ouzts.
assistant to athletic department business
manager Loran Smith, had delayed taking
the press release to the Red and Black off
ice until after the deadline "for unknown
reasons
WHEN QUESTIONED. Outz said that
he had taken the release to the Red and
Black office but he couldn't remember
where he put it or to whom he gave it.
Surprisingly enough, press releases
concerning the sale were taken to three
local radio stations and two local daily
newspapers, all of which announced the
sale on Thursday
Ouzts said he didn t realize the import
ance of making sure the release got to the
Red and Black office and conceded, "1
guess I m to blame for all the misunder
standing "
According to many students, the prob
lem now is not of who is to blame but that
students did not have an equal cha’ice to
purchase the guest tickets
Students have asked why the athletic-
department put the tickets on sale so ear
ly without prior notice
According to a spokesman for the de
partment who wished to remain unidenti
fied. the tickets were put on sale Thursday
because the coupon book sale ended on
\etvs
analysis
Wednesday Asked why the tickets could
not be sold at a later date the spokesman
did not answer
THE MAJORTTY of students who were
in the ticket lines Thursday. Friday and
Monday said they had heard of the sale
from other students, not from the news
itH da.
Emotions reached a peak Monday aft
emoon as the ticket office was beseiged
by callers trying to find out how tickets
were being sold and which games were
already sold out
A group of students then decided to '
meet with Loran Smith to decide on what
to do about the sales The students, known
as the Student Government Athletic
Committee, recommended that the Geor
gia Athlete Association stop the sale of
all guest tickets for remaining home
games as of Oct 6 which is today
Student adviser to athletics Jim Quinn
acted as spokesman for the Student Gov
emment Athletic Committee and tried to
clarify the situation
“THE ATHLETIC Association put the
Ole Miss tickets on sale on Thursday and
Friday of last week in order to have Ole
Miss guest tickets purchased prior to the
pick up schedule on Monday said Quinn
“We feel that this sale created prob
lems in that all students did not have ac
cess to information about the sale and we
have asked the Athletic Association not to
sell any more guest tickets this year ex
cept as outlined above We feel that all
students should receive the information
before the sale begins which gives eveiy-
one an opportunity to attempt to get a
guest ticket. Quinn explained
Since several students missed the dead
line for buying coupon books, the commit
tee recommended that students who did
not purchase coupon books by the Sept 30
deadline be allowed to fill out a petition at
the Student Government office at the
Memorial Hall Acitivity Center
THESE PETITIONS will be received
until noon Wednesday Oct 7 No petitions
will be accepted after that time
The committee will then recommend
which petitions are to be approved for
cuupon purchase A list of approvals will
be posted at the outside Coliseum ticket
window by 4p m Wednesday
