Martial law
set in Korea
SEOUL — President Park
Chung Hee proclaimed mar
tial law throughout South
Korea Tuesday in a surprise
move he said was necessary
to protect the nation from
"unfavorable changes in and
around the country.” He said
the people must approve his
plans for constitutional and
political reforms if talks with
Communist North Korea on
reunification are to continue.
Park's announcement came
at 6:45 p m Martial law went
into effect 15 minutes later
and soldiers in armored
vehicles took up positions around major building in the
heart of Seoul.
Kissinger talks in Paris and Saigon
Presidential Adviser Henry A Kissinger held another
round of secret peace talks Tuesday in Paris with North
Vietnamese negotiators and then flew to Saigon to meet
with South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu.
Kissinger's return to the bargaining table with a team of
top aides less than a week after an unprecedented four-day
session and his quick consultations with Thieu renewed
speculation of major progress toward a settlement — or a
severe hangup over the future of the Saigon regime.
The questions of who would succeed Thieu or share
power with him and under what terms long have been the
key obstacles to a negotiated agreement.
Soviets test multiple warhead
WASHINGTON Soviet missile men have conducted
their first long-range flight test of a beefed-up SSll
intercontinental ballistic missile believed capable of
carrying the Soviet Union’s first US.-style multiple
warhead, the Pentagon said Tuesday.
Defense Department spokesman Jerry W. Friedheim
said the improved SSll was fired Friday from the
south-central Soviet Union into the Pacific Ocean about 500
miles northwest of Midway Island
He said the missile traveled approximately 4,700 miles
compared to a range of 3,000 miles for the old SSll — and
that it carried three test warheads.

Cornish awaits
decision on job
assured by Carlton James on the
second of this month that I would
hear by the third of this month,”
Cornish said, referring to the
decision. "The findings of the court
haven't done anything to prompt it.”
"It seems as if no one is really
willing to make a decision which is
what you have to expect in any
bureaucratic process," he said, "but
I suspect it's more than just normal
bureaucratic process.”
Cornish said Dr Richard Severens,
associate professor of philosophy and
president of the local ACLU chapter
had indicated he would get aid for
Cornish in the event Cornish wanted
to carry the panel's ruling further
Cornish's position is presently
being filled by another graduate
assistant Dr Wildrid Bailey, head of
the anthropology department, said if
Cornish is reinstated, the University
would be under obligation to find the
money to pay him. Cornish would be
due back pay as well as continuing
salary.
In answer to that. Cornish said,
"That's their problem, I have a
contract 1 feel would hold up in any
court of law "
Bailey said this was the first case
the University had agreed to accept
an amended loyalty oath and
security statement for consideration

Senate
may drop
allocations
By CAROLYN STEWART
The Student Senate Allocations
committee will cease to function -if a
motion to be brought up by Steve
Patrick is passed at the Student
Senate meeting tonight
The committee would not resume
its duties as long as the committee
on student allocations, set up by O.
Suthern Sims, dean of students,
"continues to change the commit
tee's allocations recommendations
that don't agree with what the
administration wants,” Patrick said
Patrick is a member of the
allocation committee.
The committee was organized
after Sims vetoed the senate
allocations committee's recomenda-
lions for this year s student activities
budget The Committee on Student
Allocations includes two administra
tors, two faculty members, Student
Body President Joe Fowler and
Student Senate President Art Ryder
At the last senate meeting Fowler
and Ryder were asked by the senate,
in a unanimous vote, to resign from
the committee, which they refused lo
do.
One of the reasons Patrick’s
motion is to be presented is "because
of the disappointment most senators
felt about Fowler and Ryder's
refusal to resign from Sims'
committee," senate Vice-President
Steve Saunders said.
By staying on the committee,
Fowler and Ryder are giving
credibility to the committee which is
shouldn't have. Saunders said
"There's a phrase in the student
body constitution, which was ratified
by the University Council, that says
the Student Senate has the power to
allocate student activities feet,"
Saunders said "When Sims vetoed
the senate allocations committee's
recommendations, he ignored the
constitution approved by three-
fourths of the University Council.”
"I hope this is the first of many steps
to not give credence to certain
administrators; attempts to infringe
on students' rights." Patrick said.
“In this case, they've actually done
away with a student right."
"The senate allocations committee
spent weeks preparing the budget for
this year and then their recommen
dations were overruled," Patrick
said
If Patrick’s motion passes tonigni,
the work of preparing the budget for
next year will fall on Sim'
Committee on Student Allocations
The senate meeting will be held at
6 30 p.m. in Room 237 in the

Exchange fish
Most foreign visitors to the University campus are
students from other countries, here for a while to study
before returning to their native lands. These fishy
foreigners, however, are here on a more permanent
basis. The special hybrid goldfish were given to Dr.
Evan Brown, professor of agricultural economics, by
representatives of the Japanese fish industry, in
appreciation for his aid to them in planning a catfish
farming industry They fish were hand-carried from
Japan directly to Athens, and Brown gave them to the
department of science education on a "permanent
loan,” because he couldn't take care of them at home,
according to Dr John Schrum. chairman of the
department. Judging from the looks of things here, the
goldfish made the transition from the Far East to South
Campus pretty well. Wonder if catfish are as
comfortable in Japan?

James Cornish, the teaching
assistant in the University's anthro
pology department who refused to
sign the loyalty oath and security
questionaire. is still waiting to hear
the Attorney General's opinion on his
refusal
Cornish has been suspended from
his teaching assistantship because of
his regusal to sign the documents.
He later amended them, striking the
part he found objectionable He sent
the amended oath and security
questionaire to Carlton James, head
of personnel services at the
University who sent them on to
Mario Goglia, vice-chancellor for
research in the University System
and advisor to the Board of Regents
on security matters.
Goglia sent the amended docu
ments to the attorney General for an
opinion Andy Owen, assistant to the
Attorney General said the opinion
was put in the mail today and the
Regents have not yet received it.
The Attorney General's opinion
complies with that of a three-judge
panel which has recently ruled on
the similar case of Allison Kitfield.
an employee of the State Office of
Drug Abuse who refused to sign the
loyalty oath and security statement.
Kitfield took her complaint to the
American Civil Liberties Union who
took it before the panel of judges.
Both Kitfield and Cornish em
ployed ACLU lawyer Roy Devine as
counsel.
The judges ruled that questions 16
and 17 of the security statement,
which refer to membership in
subversive organizations are vague
and limited in scope However, they
were allowed to remain.
The panel which struck down the
portion of the loyalty oath that
required a prospective employee to
disavow membership in the Com

the panel's ruling ans with the

SAC requests
students' counsel
By MARK NICKEUSON
State affairs editor
VALDOSTA — The Student Advi
sory Council to the Board of Regents
has adopted a resolution asking the
Regents to permit the use of student
activity funds to hire legal counsel
for Students
A similar plan was struck from
this year’s student activities budget
at the University by administration
officials, partly because any state
agency needing legal counsel is
supposed to go to the state attorney
general’s office, and state funds are
not to be used to hire a lawyer for a
pri-citizen. under Georgia law
The resolution, dratted by Georgia
Tech SGA President Bruce Milligan,
describes the function of a campus
U. Senate
up Thurs.
A committee revising University
statutes will meet at 2 p.m.

time, a proposal for student
representation on the University
Council
The proposal, submitted by Stu
dent Body President Joe Fowler and
Student Government Association
Minister to University Affairs Ted
Kessinger. wdk tabled by the
committee last week But some
action is expected on the measure at
this meeting. Fowler said
The committee was in agreement .1
the concept of student representation
on the council but postponed action
because of disagreement concerning
the number of students to sit on the
council, sources have said
The number of students called lor
in the proposal has not been made
available by Fowler and Kassinger
lawyer as "education concerning
legal questions ”
Milligan described the status of
Tech's student body lawyer to his
colleagues during the SAC meeting
at Valdosta State College this
weekend: "The lawyer offers on
specific advice that could be used in
a courtroom
"He just gives students the
background in legal traditions and
procedures that newly enfranchised
voters don't have " Milligan said the
student body lawyer had spent three
hours a week on campus last spring
and appointments with him had to be
limited to 15 minutes due to the
demand for advice
Investigations into alleged funding
discrepancies at the niversity
System's three predominantly black
college, the proposed law school at
Georgia State University, an inter
collegiate council for business
enterprises and standardized public
safety operations were other objects
of the SAC's attention this weekend
"We're investigating whether the
black institutions have been discrim
inated against or internal priorities
are not set right Those campuses
are in bad shape." said Valdosta
State SGA President Lizzy Sikes,
chairman of the funding discrepan
cies committee
Sikes said Valdosta State had been
investigating the welfare of the black
colleges since January on its own
The SAC committee was formed in
July At this month s meeting, the
committee members were assigned
schools to study and instructed on
how to proceed with the investiga
tion
The SAC committee will survey
several factors of campus mainten
ance at the black colleges and at
seven other colleges selected for
their similarity of age and size to the
black colleges
The factors to be surveyed include
the number, age and value of all
buildings on a campus, new buildings
projected (or the next five years,
maintenance and construction bud
gets over the last 20 years, state
income, internal income and cost per
student over the last 20 years
Bicycle tactics
If you ride a bicycle you very likely make an effort to foil thieves
by chaining it to something Of course, good citizen that you are.
you obey University regulations and chain it to a nearby bicycle
rack Unfortunately, as we all know, it is sometimes difficult to
find a bike rack This means you just have to chain the frame to
one of the tires and leave it out in the open, knowing that any
able-bodied thief that comes a long could just pick it up and walk
away with it. All these problems have been solved by the driver
of this vehicle After finding a place in one of the legal and
isometimesi spacious lots around campus, simply chains the tire
lo the bumper and walks away, confident that no one will walk
away with his means of transportation You may have noticed
that the owner of this car can easily chain things together
because of the spoked wheels Now. all you bike riders and late
model auto owners eat vnur hearts out and live in fear
