Bill orders halt
|on forced busing
WASHINGTON - After
working through the night,
House and Senate conferees
agreed early Wednesday on a
bill that would order a halt to
most court-imposed busing
for 18 months.
Then the lawmakers
completed work on a
compromise $18.5 billion aid
to higher education bill after
negotiating for two months in
17 meetings.
But their compromise
measure - the busing
provision was an amendment
- appeared to face serious
trouble in both the House NATIONAL NEWS
and the Senate, where it must
be approved. Liberal lawmakers said the busing provisions
were too strong while busing opponents argued they were
too weak.
The 32 lawmakers on the joint conference committee
finally finished work at 5:30 a.m., but they were still badly
divided at the end. House conferees voted 11 to 9 for the
compromise and just 7 of the 1 5 senators approved it.
Humphrey resumes campaign
Accepting the “risks involved,” Hubert H. Humphrey
resumed his presidential campaign Wednesday, two days
after George C. Wallace was wounded by a gunman while
seeking support for the Democratic nomination.
The former vice president told Princeton University
students it was “essential we do not permit an isolated act
of violence" to undercut the democratic process.
“Open debate, dialogue and discussion” still are
required, he said. “Therefore, campaigns must continue and
risks involved must be taken.”
U.S. explains talk rejection
PARIS - The United
States, explaining its rejection
of a Communist request to
resume the Vietnam peace
talks, accused Hanoi and the
Viet Cong Wednesday of
disdaining a negotiated
settlement of the war.
In a note delivered to the
Vietnamese Communist
delegations, the United States
and South Vietnamese
charged the Communists with
preferring to pursue the
current offensive in the
south.
“Your actions on the battlefield,” the allied note said,
“and your words in Paris, including the content of messages
delivered May 16 requesting a resumption of the talks, givj
no indication whatsoever that you are seriously interested
in the negotiation of matters of substance or indiscussing
the proposals of both sides.
“Our side can only conclude that you have no serious
purpose in demanding another plenary session at this time,"
the note said.
W. Germany ratifies treaty
BONN - The West German Bundestag parliament
ratified Chancellor Willy Brandt's controversial
nonaggression pacts with the Soviet Union and Poland
Wednesday.
The treaties, which were the basis of Brandt’s Nobel
Peace Prize award in 1971, recognize as permanent the
national borders drawn in Europe after World War II.
Both documents still face routine approval by the upper
house of the parliament.
Passage is assured because Brandt's political opposition
said it would not use its majority membership there to
I block the treaties if they passed in the lower house.
Reds grant W. Berliners visit
BERLIN — Thousands of West Berliners streamed
through nine crossings in the Berlin Wall Wednesday,
kicking off an eight-day visiting period authorized by the
Communists to celebrate the Pentecost holiday.
Both East and West Germans hoped the visits would be
more frequent since the West German Parliament approved
non-aggression treaties with the Soviet Union and Poland
earlier in the day.
Sniper wounds four workers
BELFAST - A sniper fired into the ranks of Protestant
workers leaving a factory in a predominantly Roman
Catholic area of Belfast Wednesday and wounded four,
including a woman, the British army reported.
There were bombings, beatings and shootings elsewhere
in violence-tom Northern Ireland.

SENATE TREASURER DAVID BURCH ADDRESSES SENATORS AT ALLOCATIONS HEARINGS
Senate Vice President Steve Saunders (L) and President Art Ryder (R) await debate on proposals
By JIMMY JOHNSON
Assistant news/feature editor
At last night's Student Senate
meeting consideration of the
1972-73 student activities budget
continued and SGA President Joe
(Bubba) Fowler appointed several
ministerial positions and advisors.
The Senate approved all of
Fowler’s appointments with the
exception of Kim Cody as advisor to
curriculum.
Cody’s appointment had been
rejected by the Senate two weeks ago
and a motion to reconsider him
Tuesday night was defeated. Fowler
requested that the Senate suspend its
bylaws which allow an appointment
to be brought up only twice and
urged the senators to accept Cody by
acclamation.
CODY HAD been rejected by the
Senate previously following attacks
For more on allocations see pane 5
by several senators alleging that C ody
was involved with Tommy Rymer
and unsuitable for the position.
Fowler presented a letter which
Cody received from the dean of the
School of Home Economics praising
his work in admissions.
Rymer, a non student, has been
charged with exerting an influence in
the Student Senate.
“If you are approving qualified
people ... I would ask you to
suspend the rules and accept Kim
Cody by acclamation,” Fowler said.
A subsequent motion to allow
reconsideration of Cody’s
appointment failed by a vote of
19-36.
APPROVED by the senators as
minister to housing was John
Duthenhamer; as minister to alumni.
Kathy Oglesby; minister to
placement. Kathy McClesky; advisor
to veterans. Vince King; advisor to
drug use, Jim Williamson; and
minister to academic affairs, Elaine
Bunn.
Ms. Bunn replaces Roger Cox
who resigned this week. Bunn was
serving as an advisor to academic
affairs.
Also Senate President Art Ryder
informed the senators that a mistake
had been made Tuesday night in the
approval of temporary justices for
the summer Main Court. The Senate
had approved the justices with only a
two-thirds vote while the Student
Body Constitution requires the
approval of three-fourths of those
voting
The Senate failed to approve the
appointments by a vote of 45-16
following arguments by Chuck
Searcy (Arts and Sciences) that the
appointees should appear before the
Senate
Searcy said that he had an
obligation to his constituents to
satisfy himself of the qualifications
of those appointed. “I can’t exercise
that duty adequately if I can’t see
the appointees,” he said.
Judicial appointees do not
normally appear before the senate
but are reviewed by its judicial
committee.’
THE SENATE then began the
second session in its annuai series of
meetings to approve the allocations
of Student Activity Fees.
Debate centered around
organizations listed in the service
group and the allocation for the
Pandora.
The Pandora had been approved
for $30,000 last night, $10,000 less
than requested by the Board of
Student Communications.
Because of a recent amendment
to the Student Body Constitution the
board must approve any cut in the
budgets for campus media. Unless
the Senate is able to obtain a
twothirds vote to override the
board’s veto of the recommended
allocation the budget cannot be cut
below the level of the board’s
recommendation.
In submitting a revised request
the board asked for $36,000 for the
yearbook.
ACCORDING TO Bob Tritt, who
spoke for the board of
communications, the $4,000
reduction from the original request
was made possible only by cutting
out some 30 pages of the book. “To
cut out any more than that would
destroy the purpose of the book,” he
said.
The Senate overrode the board’s
veto of its $30,000 allocation
following arguments by senators who
stated that the Pandora was not
representative of the student body
and was a low priority expenditure.
David Bell (Arts and Sciences)
said, “There are a lot of things of
more importance and more direct
relevance to the students. The point
here is Do we want to spend this
much ($36,000) on the yearbook? I
for one do not.”
The veto returned the allocation
to $30,000. A motion by Steve
Letzsch (Graduate) to reconsider the
$30,000 allocation in order to reduce
it failed.
“Information does not necessarily
affect behavior especially when it
involves trying to change deeply
rooted attitudes,” Nowlis said.
Nowlis said that it is going to take
the effort of the community, the
church and schools in order to solve
the drug problems.
"AND I N III wr start dealing
with the real problem and not a
prototype problem as we have been,
then we’re going to be in bad
trouble,” she said.
James M. Duke said there are
three mandates in the Office of
Economic Opportunity’s drug
program. First, said Duke, “is that
the living scene has to be considered
when fighting drug abuse in poverty
areas.” Duke said this had to be done
to find out why people become
addicted to heroin.
“The use of ex-addicts as
counselors has been encouraged," he
said because of their value in
influencing someone with a heroin
problem.
“The third mandate,” said Duke
“is that an individual should be
moved toward re-socialization
instead of institutionalization.”
“Some step has to be taken to
find useful, meaningful activity for
ex-addicts. This activity is usually
employment,” Duke said. Duke
pointed out, however, that until
recently employers have been
reluctant to hire ex-addicts.

Carter asks to meet
UGA women, McBee
By CLAUDIA TOWNSEND
News/feature editor
Information released last week by
a University women's liberation
group has led to an invitation from
Governor Carter for Dean Louise
McBee and members of the women’s
group to meet with him to discuss
the future of the Governor’s
Commission on the Status of
Women.
Anne Mather, corresponding
RGtltHy "t W.<>il I .V (Women's
Oppression Must End Now) said she
supplied Associated Press last week
with documentation of
correspondence between past
members of the governor’s
commission and Carter urging him to
reactivate the commission, which has
been inactive during his
administration.
In an interview with AP writer
Dick Pettys, Carter denied that he
was responsible for the inactivity of
the committee.
JODY POWELL, the governor’s
prevt secretary, said he called Dean
McBee yesterday and extended to
her the governor’s invitation for her
to discuss with him “suggestions she
had or things she felt had to be acted
upon.”
Powell said Dean McBee told him
that WO.M.E.N. had become
interested in the situation of the
commission, and he extended the
invitation to include members of that
group also.
Powell said yesterday's call was
“to a large extent a result o* '.ind of
a long-distance conversation through
intermediaries. Dick Pettys was
running back and forth between the
governor and Dean McBee, and the
governor decided that if they were
going to converse, they should do it
face-to-face.”
Hie "conversation” began at a
W.O.M.E.N.’s meeting last Thursday,
at which Dean McBee was one of the
speakers. During a question-and-
answer period, she said, someone
asked about the activities of the
governor’s commission.
“I TOLD them what I knew as a
member of the commission,” she
said, “which was that the
commission had not been
reappointed by Governor Carter
when he took office, that I had
corresponded with him, and had not
received a very satisfying reply.”
From that point, Ms. Mather said,
W.O.M.E.N. began to gather further
information, and launched a plan for
a statewide letter campaign to urge
Carter to take some action with the
commission.
She said she announced to the
group her plans to contact AP and
the members concurred.
Powell said there was “no
question of a need to reappoint or
reactivate the committee. They serve
at the pleasure of the governor, as 1
do. That means when the governor
gets tired of me, he fires me.”
Members of the commission said
the members had “traditionally”
been reappointed by each new
governor.

“One of the problems of
education in general and especially
drug education is that we equate
education with teaching,” said Dr.
Helen Nowlis at the Southeastern
School of Drug Studies Tuesday at
the Georgia Center for Continuing
Education.
The drug conference is the first
such conference in the southeast
according to Bill Johns, conference
coordinator for the Georgia Center
The program is sponsored by many
mental health and drug abuse
organizations. Main coordinators for
the four-day conference are Dr Peter
Bourne and James II Brannon. Jr.,
of the National Institute of Mental
Health.
Johns said the purpose of the
conference is to "bring people in the
field of drug abuse up to date on
what's happening in the field.”
DR NOWLIS. director of the
Office of Drug Education-Health and
Nutntion, stressed the fact that
nothing is going to be done in drug
education until people realize they
have to work together “It takes a
team effort to solve a problem It
takes a team with a variety of skills
who are willing to contribute to a
team effort," said Nowlis.
Defining education as “a process
which promotes learning, growth and
self development.” Nowlis said that
teaching is not education.
Rubin talk
is cancelled
Jerry Rubin did not appear at Phi
Kappa Hall as scheduled last night

last minute increase in his speaking
fee was too much to pay, according

society.
Chicago Seven member Rubin
had agreed to appear for a flat $300
but Rubin, in a phone call to the Phi
Kappa Society late Tuesday night,
asked that his expenses be paid in
addition to the $300 agreed to
earlier.
Rubin was first scheduled to
appear May I I but the appearance
was rescheduled to last night. May

of the Chicago Seven were indicted
