“The report, which will be

The Student Advisory Council has
recommended that an investigation
be initiated by the Board of Regents
into the disproportionate amount of
funds granted black institutions in
Georgia.
According to Jim Langford, newly
elected Chairman of SAC, it is
believed that funds are being
mishandled somewhere between the
Board of Regents and the black
schools.
Thomas Dortch, council
representative from Fort Valley State
College, walked out of Saturday’s
meeting. At an earlier meeting the
representative from Savannah State
College had walked out, making Fort
Valley the second black institution
to leave the SAC meetings.
"I don't think Dortch walked out
of the meeting because of the
proposal,” said Langford. “One of
the other blacks on the committee, I
believe he was from Columbus
College, tried to get Dortch to stay,
but I guess he had his mind made up
to leave.”
LANGFORD, WHO submitted the
proposal for the investigation said, “I
hated to see Dortch walk out, this
proposal is a real step towards
working the problem out.”

University of Georgia student to be

The plants were found on the front
porch of the students’ residence and

Smith said.
College:
time for
emotional
problems
By MICHELLE GREEN
Assistant news/feature editor
“I can say hello to any number of
people on this campus, but I don’t
really have any friends. I would do
anything for the people I like but
sometimes I feel there’s nobody I
could turn to if I needed help,” said
Karen.
Karen is a sophomore at the
University who has found that life
here can be terribly lonely, even
though she is always surrounded by
people. She feels that her beliefs are
being challenged and her values
questioned. How can she deal with
her changing world?
ACCORDING to Rev. Clifton
Hoffman, Unitarian minister who
counsels many University students,
"The main problem foi the student
is to find and internalize his own
set of values. He has moved from
traditional religious beliefs and
expectations of institutions such as
mamage and the university. He
questions the value systems which
he has seen.”
Dr. Logan R. Campbell
psychiatrist with the University
Health Services, agreed. "College is
a time of change and adjusting. I he
student goes from the structured
family life into college, where he
has to learn to be independent.”
This adjustment is more difficult
for some than for others, he feels.
and some students may actually
thrive under the pressure of college
life, because "stress brings out the
best and the worst in us.”
The college freshman may have
special problems. "The main task of
the freshman is to see if he can
exist independent of his family
structure, lie has to struggle to
establish a new identity and is
confronted with being alone for the
first time,” Campbell said.
"A LOT OF people achieve in
high school because it is expected,"
Campbell said. “In college, no one
is saying to them, ‘You have to do
this.’ They have a chance to try out
new bchaviois, and this can be
bothersome, especially if no outside
force is setting a structure for
them.”
The freshman, however, does not
have a monopoly on emotional
difficulties. Many upperclassmen
find that they have adjustment
problems also.
Steve, a junior, is taking a 25-hour
work load this quarter so he will be
able to graduate early. "I had never
been so involved before but now I
don’t have time for anything,” he
said. "I have always had trouble
meeting people, so maybe all of this
work is just an escape i don’t
have any fnends but I tell myself I
just don’t have time to make any.”

SAC asks
Swindall
to RHA
By CLAUDIA TOWNSEND
News/feature editor
“The students who serve on the
various University committees are
there to represent students, and
that’s the whole purpose of their
being there.” Faculty Student Affairs
Committee Chairman Pat Swindall
said Friday.
Swindall made his remarks in
answer to charges from Residence
Hall Association members that RHA
representatives should have been
to speak before the committee
meeting Thursday when
recommendations were made for
open house regulations and residency
requirements for next year.
Swindall had been charged by
Student Senator Sam Davis with
having "given up on the acceptance
of revisions which concern housing
and which are favored by the
majority of students.”
Davis, in a letter to The Red and
Black, abo questioned Swindall’s
ability to represent the views of the
RHA, claiming that Swindall showed
a "lack of understanding” of the
concept of dorm self-determination.
SWINDALL said he denied RHA
representatives an opportunity to
speak at the meeting because, "the
SGA and the University Council have
existed in the past on the premise
replies
gripes
that the students from SGA who are
on the various committees are there
to represent the students from SGA
who are on the vanous committees
are there to represent the students as
a whole.
"To allow special groups to come
in on a meeting in a situation like
this would be to discredit those
students who had served on the
committee all along, and to open an
unnnecessary precedent of a lobby.
"If we keep these students on the
committees just to have them there
and then turn to someone ebe every
time a crisis comes along, we are sort
of defeating the purpose of the
whole thing,” Swindall said.
RHA member Steve Patrick said he
felt RHA representatives were
"closer to the students in the dorms”
than were the students on the
committee.
"WE’VE BEEN working through
the dorm governments, through
petitions and through surveys,”
Patrick said. "I think we are in a
better position to speak for the
feelings of the students in the dorms
than the people on the committee,
none of whom live in dormitories.”
