Districts ruled out
A T1 - ANT A (UPI) - The
u.s. Justice Department has
raised objections in Georgia’s
House and Senate
reapportionment plan because
Of race, a letter from the
department to State Attorney
General Arthur K. Bolton
reveals.
The Justice Department has
objected to two Senate
districts, the 36th in Fulton
County and the 22nd in
Richmond County.
Additionally, the department
said that representatives from
multi-member house districts
may no longer run for specific
seats.
Also rejected by the
department were five specific
House districts - the 60th,
the 3rd, 64th, 76th and 78th,
located in the east-central
in the area the 28th, 35th,
and 36th and 37th . . said
Norman.
“These districts coupled
with adjoining majority black
counties of Greene, Taliaferro
and Warren form a contigious
group of 89,626 persons, of
whom 57.2 per cent are
non-white enough to form at
least three new majority
non-white single-member
districts. Yet the submitted
plan has only one district in
the area with a slight
non-white majority.”
Norman said the five
rejected House districts were
border” districts which were
partly inside and partly
outside the group of counties
making up the majority black
area.
He said since the new
reapportionment plan
indicates the legislature has
given up its long-standing
pactice of not crossing
county lines, the new districts
“have a discriminatory racial
effect in voting.”
In the multi-member
districts Norman said
candidates are currently
required to run for specific
seats and to receive a majority
vote. He said coupled with the
fact that many multi-member
districts cross county lines,
the plan poses “a serious
abridgement of minority
voting rights.”

Georgia area.
In his letter to Bolton,
Assistant U.S. Attorney
General David Norman said of
the two Senate districts that
afte- a “careful review of all
the information available to
us, we have been unable to
conclude, as we must under
the Voting Rights Act, that
the boundaries of these
proposed districts will not
have a “discriminatory racial
effect on voting by
minimizing or necessarily
diluting black voting strength
in those areas.”
With regard to the five
House districts cited, Norman,
who heads the Justice
Department’s civil rights
division, said the General
Assembly created only one
new majority black voting
district in east-central Georgia
where three are possible.
He said the Justice
Department’s analysis revealed
there is a bloc of adjoining
majority black counties in
that area which includes
Greene, Taliaferro, Hancock,
Warren, Washington, Jefferson
and Burke counties.
“Under the present House
plan, there are four majority
black single member districts
Herbert sets
lecture tour
ATLANTA (UPI) Retired
Lt. Col. Anthony B. Herbert,
who accused two superiors of
condoning atrocities in
Vietnam, said Monday he will
lecture across the country
seeking a reform of the
military justice system.
Herbert, who retired last
week after 20 years in the
Army, had accused Brig. Gen.
John Barnes and Col. J. Ross
Franklin, his commanders in
Vietnam, of hushing up
atrocities. The charges were
dismissed after investigation
by the inspector general’s
office.
The ensuing bitterness
stirred up by the allegations
led Herbert to charge he was
being ha rassed into
retirement.
Herbert, 41, a hero in the
Korean war, said he had no
current plans to pursue the
case against Barnes and
Franklin.
Union holds campus bike race;
costumes, bikes were strategic
By JON HAM
Associate news editor
If recent campus activity
during the last two weeks is
any indication, then in spring
a young man’s fancy does not
turn to thoughts of love, but
to thoughts of racing anything
that has wheels on it.
Last week it was the
agricultural engineers’ soap
box derby. This week it was
the Union’s 10-mile bicycle
race.
Saturday was a bicycle
racer’s dream, as the sun
filtered through not a cloud
and temperatures hovered in
the comfortable low-60s.
Around noon the contestants
began to gather in Memorial
Hall plaza, the starting place
for the grueling course.
The drivers were to head
south on East Campus Rd.,
turn left on Milledge
Extension, go out to
Whitehall, turn left on Barnett
Shoals Rd., left again on
College Station Rd., then right
on East Campus Rd. again,
left onto Hooper St., and
finally cross the finish in front
of the plaza again.
Most of the drivers had
never entered a bicycle race
before, but this did not keep
them from planning strategy
and wearing what they
thought were the right
clothes.
Gym shorts seemed
popular, with long underwear
and sweat shirts running a
close second. Some had gloves
to ward off blisters,
headbands to ward off
obstructed vision and water
bottles to ward off sun stroke.
One hopeful contestant said
before the race as he watched
one of his adversaries doing
deep-knee bends, “Yeah,
everybody’s trying to psych
each other up.”
One rider especially looked
the part with his
European-style racing helmet
and his expensive French
bicycle. This was Jim Mitas,
the only sponsored entrant.
He was carrying the colors of
the Lutheran Assembly to
what he hoped would be a
first place finish. He said he
had been training for the last
six weeks.
Most of the bicycles were
expensive 10-speed racers, but
there were a few of the less
exotic models entered. All the
10-speed ridere snickered at
Bill Alewine’s 5-speed, and
they laughed out loud at
Terry Varner’s 3-speed
clunker. But you had to give
them credit for trying.
A little after 1 p.m. all 27
riders bunched up in Hooper
Street for the start. All got
off to a good start except for
one unfortunate rider who
had brake trouble before even
crossing the starting line.
At this point my
photographer and I jumped in
my car and sped to the
two-thirds point. After about
20 minutes of racing time,
Phil Wyatt, a racer with six
years experience, topped the
first hill of College Station
Rd. He had a commanding
lead.
After he passed we headed
back for the finish. Ten
minutes later Wyatt turned
into Hooper, not alone, but
neck and neck with Chris
Roesel, who had gained at
least a quarter of a mile on
Wyatt in the last 10 minutes
of the race.
Wyatt out-sprinted him
however and came home to
win. Roesel followed three
seconds behind. The winner’s
time was 31:49, close to a 20
mile per hour average.
Jim Mitas of the Lutheran
Assembly finished a poorer
than expected sixth. It seems
his tight shorts had cut off
the circulation to his legs,
which is something a bike
racer can’t afford to have
happen.
Bill Alewine surprised some
by finsihing eighth on his
5-speed, but Terry Varner
astonished everyone by
coasting home 11th, well
ahead of a lagging field of
10-speeders, on his old
three-speed.
Both women that entered
finished. Diane Gaines finished
17th, while Deena Rutledge
followed in 20th place. They
seemed less affected by the
hilly course than most of the
men.
Howard Struletz, organizer
of the race, said there would
be another on May 21. But in
the two and a half months till
then someone will probably
organize a roller skate iace. So
until the race fever is over,
this spring love will have to
take a back seat.

RYaD THIS. If you are in a panic because you have
mucho material to wade through before finals, here’s
some help.
First of all, maintain your cool. A panic situation can
keep anything from getting through to your brain.
After fortifying yourself with several cups of coffee
and having resigned yourself to a late-night vigil, let’s
begin. Choose the course you want to work on. Refresh
yourself as to the general drift of the course by going
through your notes. These, more than anything else
(besides actual tests), will give a person a clear indication
of what a professor feels is important. Look for those
things he’s repeated so much you’re sick of them. Funny
how those items habitually appear on tests.
Once you’ve more or less got an idea of what’s going
on, pull out the textbook. If you know it’s an
impossibility to read what’s left of the quarter’s
assignments, try this as something of a substitute: Read
the introductory and summary material for each chapter.
Then, if possible, go through and read the first and last
sentence of every paragraph. Be sure and read all
important headings and look at all illustrations, which will
function as additional summary material.
After applying this method, you can at least be
generally knowledgeable about the subject. BS-artists, of
course, will be ready to go since only the flimsiest
framework is enough for them to solve any problem.
It’s important for the reader to realize that this writer
lias never used this method. I always keep up with my
work. And the only reason 1 drink coffee is because 1
enjoy it.

The University’s presentation of Mozart’s “Requiem"
“Iasi Thursday night was nothing short of a triumph The
organization of so many singers and musicians was quite a
feat in itself. The stage must have been groaning under
the weight of the mass.
A goodly portion of the credit for the performance must
go to Robert Shaw. Although many people have been
working for a long time to bring the evening off, Shaw
managed to pull all the elements into a cohesive whole
which functioned admirably. The assembled chorus had a
crisp, full sound, rather than the blurry, indistinct
character which is so often the case with large groups of
singers.
The weakness of the evening was in the four solo parts.
While all the soloists had very nice voices and worked
well together, it seemed as though they were only singing
sounds, that they were unaware of what the words they
were expressing in song meant.

Ever wonder who those
children are that laugh and
play across the street from the
Coliseum?
The children are
participants in the University’s
Child and Family
Development Center, the
oldest continuous lab nursery
school in the Southeast,
according to Fannie L.
Brooke.
Ms. Brooke is the director
of the nursery school,
kindergarten, and day care
unit within the center which
opened in September of 1928.
MS. BROOKE said the
center is designed “to provide
experience for University
students enrolled in child
development, child psychology
and education classes to gain a
first-hand knowledge of
children.”
The center also supplies a
population of children upon
which faculty and students do
research, as well as furnishing
a service for the community
through its nursery school,
kindergarten and day care for
infants and pre-school
children.
“We have a joint program
w»th the College of Education
in early childhood education
so that students enrolled in
both colleges of Education
and Home Economics are
required to take a certain
sequence of courses which
bring them to the center to
observe and have practical
experiences with the children
andtheir families,” Ms. Brooke
explained.
The children in the half-day
nursery school group and the
half-day / kindergarten group
are selected for enrollment
from applications made by
their parents to the center.
Ms. Brooke remarked that
selection is governed by a
number of policies: an even
number of boys and girls in
the group, an even number of
university and non-university
connected families, and a
spread of ages within a
chronological year
Preference is given to
siblings of children already
enrolled so that the students
who study the children can
recognize that children within
a family and multiple births
are unique individuals.
The four-year-old nursery
children and five-year-old
kindergarten children who
compnse the half-day group F
are charged $25 a quarter for
their care. Care for the infants
whose ages range from four
months to 20 months is $35 a
quarter.
THE DAY CARE unit is
composed of 20 children from
low-income families. “We arc
able to have this group
because we have a grant with
the School of Social Work for
the education and train*"?, of
day care personnel, Ms.
Brooke said. “Also employed
to work with the families of
this group of children are
paraprofessional “out reach”
workers who arc supervised by
the School of Social Work
field placement instructor,
Phyllis Maass.” “Ms. Maass,
and the undergraduate and
graduate Social Work students
under her supervision work
with the families of the
children around health and
welfare problems and with the
community agencies who
provide other services to these
families,” Ms. Brooke said.
“Traip«"u for child care
personnel is .made available
through federal funds given by
the Georgia Department of
Family and Children Services.
The University provides
matching funds to obtain
federal funds.”
A new wing to the Center
which was the culmination of
six and one-half years of
planning was opened in fall of
1970.
