The Red and Black. Thursday. May 25. 1972
Legislative candidates
discuss student issues
DOVER KLAM
by Phil Sanderlin
By CINDY SHORT
Many students at the
University have registered 10
vote in Athens in the past few
months. The next election here
in which they will he able to
vote will be the party primaries
on August 8.
Two candidates, Wes
Whitehead. 30, of Bogart, and
John Russell, 26, of Russell,
have announced their plans to
run for the new third state
representative post from this
district.
f ollowing is an interview in
which the two candidates
answer questions including
issues relevant to students.
Red & Black Why did you
decide to run for state
representative?
Whitehead It's time a
working man took a part in the
state government. I'm tired of
only the rich and influential
running the state legislature.
Russell I don't like the idea
of a state legislature being run
by people who regard it as a
part-time job and 1 work
full-tune at another business. I
will make it a full-time job.
Red A Black: Have you
formed a platform yet 7
Whitehead I haven’t formed
a formal platform yet. I'm a
progressive liberal candidate.
I’m especially interested in tax
reform, women’s rights and
legalized abortion, and better
minimum-wage laws for all
working people, including
students who work in the
summer.
Russell: The pioblem with a
platform at this time is that
every area of government needs
change. I’m concerned with
ecology, the environment, and
state policy on old people,
Medicare, and Medicaid.
Red Sl Black What will you
try to do for students?
Whitehead: I’d like to see
improvement in summer jobs,
part-time jobs, and
minimum-wage laws. I’d bke to
work for legislation to aid
students, including ending loan
programs in which tuition must
be paid before the loan is
given.
Russell: I’m trying to see
what students want, I can’t
pinpoint it right now. It seems
to be the rules of the
University, but I don’t know
what I can do. I want to
support the University system,
I have a lot of fond memories
of the time I spent there.
Red A Black How do you
feel about students voting
where they go to school and
getting involved in the
community outside the
University?
Whitehead I’m definitely in
favor of students getting
involved in politics where they
go to school if they want to.
I’m in favor of the students
running for city council in
Athens. They are legal
residents of Clarke County as
much as anyone else.
Russell I think students
ought to vote in their
hometowns.
Red A Black How do you
feel about student
participation in policy
formation at the University 7
Whitehead They definitely
should participate; they are the
ones who have to live under it.
The University is now run like
a big company without a
union. Students are dictated to
with no recourse to stop
injustices.
Russell I think participation
is good, a very natural thing. I
think it is increasing.
Red A Black What do you
think of the recent arrests of
the students who went to
Davison’s office with the
housing demands?
Whitehead I’m in complete
sympathy with them I don’t
believe they had a fair shake,
probably no one bothered to
find out why they were there.
The case should be settled
within the University, not in
civil court, if the University
had a fair arbitration
procedure.
Russell: I don’t know
anything about it so I can’t
comment.

Mell-Lipscomb accepting residents
By MICHELLE GRLF.N
Assistant news/fealure editor
Mell-Lipscomb, the
University’s living-learning
coed community, is now*
accepting applications from
prospective fall quarter
residents.
‘‘Mell-Lipscomb is a
people-oriented community.
We not only have learning
experiences in the classes
taught here, but there is an
atmosphere of loyalty and
friendship," Mid Melt resident
Virginia Brown.
“It’s not an honors dorm like
most people believe,’’ she said.
“Only about half of the
residents are in the Honors
Program.”
Ms. Brown said there are no
grade requirements for
applicants.
“Applicants should have an
interest in the community, but
that’s not all,” said Ms. Brown
"You have to keep in mind the
things that living here can do
for people There’s always
someone to talk to when you
need it.”
Biftad names Freshmen,

Sixteen University men were
initiated last weekend into
Biftad honorary fraternity, the
highest honor a freshman or
sophomore male can attain at
the University.

A screening committee
composed of community
members reviews applications
of potential residents. The
application form was made up
by community members.
Residents of Mell-Lipscomb
have also written and produced
a brochure which describes the
community. Women are
housed in Mell Hall and the
male community members live
next door in Lipscomb. Classes
are taught in the T.V. rooms of
both dorms. Spring quarter
fare has included such diverse
courses as camping, classics,
and philosophy.
Methodists
ask help
The Methodist Student
Center (Wesley Foundation) is
sponsoring a Canned Food
Conspiracy and is asking for
student support.
Marked cartons will be placed
on the main floor of each dorm
on Friday, May 26. Students
may deposit any
non-perishable food items that
they think may be appreciated
and are urged to do so.
“The community is a
complete democracy,’’ she
said. “Anybody can bring up a
motion in the community
meetings. A lot of our changes
have been brough about
through ad-hoc committees
and personal initiative.’’
The community has provided
a number of unique
educational opportunities for
its residents. Informal classes
such as cand Ie- ma k ing,
macramc and recorder-playing
have taken place at night. A
darkroom and library have
been furnished and a radio
station is in the making,
lookouts, field trips and guest
speakers are also part of the
total-learning program.
“Fverybody interested is
urged to apply,” Ms. Brown
said. “We are trying to get a lot
of applications so we won't get
the overflow in the fall”
“We want to try to keep
growing,’’ she said. “We’re
trying to get people with a
variety of majors so the
community will be more
balanced."
Applications are available in
the Church Hall housing office
and in the central housing
office located in Russell Hall.
Applications will be accepted
for Mell-Lipscomb until
m id-July, but should be
submitted as soon as possible.
