‘outsiders’ and the senate? An
investigation by impartial
persons certainly seems in
order.
Lastly, I think that should
it be proven that certain
irregularities have indeed
occurred, those senators
involved should resign or be
removed from the senate.

Editor’s Note: You have
indeed raised some interesting
questions. The first one, of
course, only the other
members of Action Union
Party can answer.
In answer to your second
question, though, you should
know that I was aware of what
was going on - generally, long
before spring quarter. How
ever, we had little proof. The
day of the election, though, /
became aware that Rymer was
trying to manipulate student
senate elections, and at that
time began an earnest
investigation. Persons in all the
political parties were con
tacted, as well as some not
actively involved in campus
politics.
What emerged was the story
that you read, for which there
can never be any concrete
proof. That is not to say,
however, that the information
is not reliable. A dealer such as
Rymer leaves no concrete
tracks. The information is
more than hearsay, hqyvever.
My sources are persons that
had dealings with Rymer. Most
of them have been reluctant to
speak and will probably never
be willing to publicly associate
their names with the article.
Obnoxious
TO THE EDITOR
The Red and Black has
indicated a deep concern over
power politics in the Student
Government Association
recently. From reading the
paper, an uninvolved person
can only conclude that The
Red and Black staff is the
purest, holiest and most
unbiased group of students on
the campus, committed to the
improvement of the University,
the recognition of accomplish
ment, and the doctrines of
fairness and objectivity. Since
the staff wrote the articles, this
isn’t surprising.
I have kept quiet about The
Red and Black for a long time,
but I’m tired of it There are
some things that need to be
said.
There are political pressure
groups on this campus. I here
are power brokers, and people
who wheel and deal with
reputations and campus careers
as if they were things instead
of people. There are people
who like to play games with
student government instead of
working to improve the school
The largest, most
vocal,
most active and
most
obnoxious group
of
such
people is The Red
staff.

1 have not
UGA BLACK ATHLETES
seen a single positive action
taken by a member of the
paper staff aimed at helping
student government or the
student body move forward.
They are big on talking and
small on doing. They are
experts at the employment of
hot air, and don’t hesitate to
opinionate on anything under
the sun, despite emotional and
political biases which they are
unable to filter from their
writing and their behavior.
They are incapable of
objectivity, honesty and
fairness. They would rather
break a person than try to
understand him. They would
rather sit around their office
and smoke pot than look at
Senate minutes or University
administrative committee min
utes to see what has been
accomplished and who has
done it.
David Burch and Jot
Fowier are among the many
people I believe to have been
unfairly and viciously treated
in the paper. They were
attacked because they did not
subscribe to the weird ideas
and prejudices of The Red and
Black staff, who would rather
see homosexuals on every
corner and an abortion on
every dorm hall than anything
else. They don’t care about
experience, wisdom, work, or
common sense. They do care
about anything or anybody
who would rather run his
mouth than run the campus
SGA well and with dignity.
The Red and Black has
myopia as far as the SGA is
concerned. I just hope that in
the future it doesn’t turn into
total blindness.

Catholic bishops
ratify resolution
ATLANTA (UPI) Roman
Catholic Bishops gave solid
endorsement Thursday to a
resolution bitterly criticizing a
presidential commission report
on population control, but
rejected a move to include the
Indochina war in their
condemnation.
The bishops, winding up
their three-day spring confer
ence. also voted to study the
possibility of changing certain
church rituals to comply with
regional needs. Any changes, to
be tried over a three-year
period and requiring approval
from the Vatican, would be
considered later for inclusion
in a national ritual.

Promising future - Foster

By ROBBI BLANTON
The future for black
athletes at Georgia looks
promising, according to Maxie
Foster, captain of the track
team and the first black
undergraduate to receive a B.S.
degree in physical education
from the University.
Foster, who plans to
graduate in June, attributes the
in the physical education
program here. He is “crazy
about the program, because it is
so well-rounded” and because
“the staff is very outgoing and
devoted to their field.”
The only improvements in
the program Foster hopes to
see soon are new facilities for
the men’s physical education
department. “The building the
department is now housed in

increasing opportunities
black athletes at Georgia to the
fact that the blacks already
involved in the athletic
program arc “exceptional.”
“If the blacks we have here
excel, this makes it easier to
recruit in all areas,” said
Foster, who is the first black
athlete to be awarded a
scholarship in any sport at
Georgia. He is attending the
University on a track
scholarship.
Foster, a native of Athens,
is one of seven black students
MAXIE FOSTER
First black P.E. grad
for
some of the sports since blacks
were not participating in the
athletic program. I played
basketball and ran track for
Athens High,” he said.
Consequently, Foster was
offered scholarships from
several colleges in both track
and basketball but chose
Georgia’s track program
because he liked the staff and
wanted to stay in Athens.
FOSTER WILL be return
ing to Clarke Central this fall as
a coach and teacher. He plans
to teach two health classes and
three physical education
classes. In addition, he will be
head track coach, head
cross-country coach and
assistant basketball coach.
But this doesn’t mean the
end of Foster’s career as a
student. He plans to attend
summer school as a graduate
student. His eventual aim is to
obtain his doctorate in physical
education and teach at the
college level. Foster plans to
take only five hours a quarter
while he is teaching school, so
he will be both teacher and
student for quite a while.
Foster said that the most
important part of college to
him was the quarter he
practice-taught at Clarke
Central. “The actual experi
ence of being an instructor
gives you time to decide if this
is what you want to do,” he
said.
When asked how he felt
about being the first black P.E.
major graduate at Georgia, the
smooth-spoken Foster laughed
and said, “Well, I was the first
black athlete in high school,
the first black athlete to get a
scholarship in any sport at
Georgia and the first black
captain of the track team in
school, so this is just another
first for me.”
HE SAID that he has tried
successfully to recruit black
athletes to Georgia from the
Athens area. “I just tell them
what a good school it is and
that the racial attitudes are
changing for the better,” he
said.
Racial attitudes have
radically changed since his first
quarter here, Foster said.
“When people realized that I
was human, they accepted me.
Until then, I just made up my
mind to accept the prejudices
so 1 could accomplish my
major goals in life The attitude
here has changed from one of
racial prejudice to a spirit of
sports competitiveness,” he
said
Foster is a member of the
physical education professional
fraternity, Phi Epsilon Kappa,
and had a part in setting four
relay records that the track
team now holds.

Antipollution groups
fight lead poisoning
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Health and environmental
groups have forged an
accidental alliance with an old
enemy, the auto industry, in
attempts to get the lead out of
gasoline.
The health and antipollu
tion activists have frequently
criticized auto makers for
allegedly fouling the air and
making unsafe cars; but
although their motives differ,
both interests now contend
restrictions proposed by the
U.S. textile
industry can
upgrade itself
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Japanese Ambassador Nobuhi-
ko Ushiba said Thursday the
U.S. textile industry might well
copy the Japanese and upgrade
itself.
The ambassador, a frequent
and candid critic of American
industry and commerce, said
that despite the American
textile industry’s fears that it
was doomed “in both
employment and earnings, U.
S. textile manufacturers
performed better than the
average U. S. manufacturer in
the second half of the I960*.
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) would permit
too much lead in gasoline.
Auto makers contend that
lead ruins the catalytic
converters they plan to install
on 1975 model cars to meet
exhaust cleanup rules.
Lnvironmental and health
groups argue that lead in auto
exhaust exposes citizens -
particularly slum children - to
possible lead poisoning, which
can cause brain damage and
occasionally death.
Auto makers are presenting
their arguments in EPA
hearings on industry requests
to delay for one year the
exhaust cleam p rules sched
uled for 1975 models.
