Vet school to begin two part
curriculum change next quarter
U. S. withdrawal
in closing phase!
SAIGON (UPl) — Almost 1.000 U.S. troops left South Vietnam I
Tuesday and the Viet Cong released 32 American prisoners of I
war, beginning the final phase of a withdrawal program that in I
three days will end the United States' involvement in its longest I
war.
Under a plan announced by the United States and the I
Vietnamese Communists Monday, 1,800 more American troops
will leave today. 2,500 will go Thursday, and another 825 will be
withdrawn Saturday.
Completion of the withdrawal will coincide with the release of I
lb’ - American prisoners known to be held by the Communists]
in North and South Vietnam and in Laos

Curriculum changes designed to
streamline courses were voted upon li
the faculty of the College of Veter-' y
Medicine in February to be insti w-.ed
beginning this summer.
A faculty member said that the new
program, a Core Curriculum — Elective
Program, evolved from recommenda
tions in the Terry Heport, made by Dr.
Luther Terry, a former Surgeon General
of the United States The report urged
that all veterinary schools go to this type
program.
“This program will allow the student a
great deal more choice in special aspects
of the school, while maintaining a basic
core curriculum," he said.
According to Ed Davidson, a junior in
the school and a senator in the student
senate, there are two segments in the
new curriculum.
THE FIRST SECTION, dealing with
the core curriculum, consisted of
condensing the school's classes to fit into
the first three years The other part is
called "Modified Block System”.
In the past, Davidson said, students
had three years of courses. Often they
were taking seven courses in a quarter or
24 credit hours.
In the summer before their senior year,
he said that they came for an orientation
session which lasted about half the
summer In this session they learned
about clinic procedures
Davidson said that then in the fall, the
seniors began clinic rotation which
consisted of working under one particular
professor or clinician for a segment of
the course and then moving on to another
specialization.
IN ADDITION TO clinic work, the
seniors have two hours of classes a
quarter.
Under the new program, the courses
which were taken by the seniors have
been eliminated or reverted into the first
three years, Other lower division courses
have been combined or eliminated with
the aim, according to Norman Roskin, a
junior, of cutting out the "least required
material."
About 15 hours of courses have been
cut from the curriculum providing a
basic core contained in the first three
undergraduate years, he said.
The Senior Block Program, which goes
into effect on June 4, 1973, is patterned
after similar programs at the University
of Missouri and Iowa State University,
Davidson said.
The year is divided into 12 months of 21
days each. During four of the blocks, the
senior is required to take a clinic course
in Small Animal Medicine. Small Animal
Surgery, Equine Medicine, and Food
Animal Medicine.
DURING TWO MORE of the blocks,
Davidson said, students take on an
externship where they work under a
veterinarian of their choice in Athens or
elsewhere. "In this way, they get some
practical experience that they wouldn't
get otherwise,” Davidson said.
Another four months are spent in
elective courses. "They can repeat one of
the four required subjects," Davidson
said, "or they can receive specialized
work in other areas such as in Radiology
or Poultry or Lab animals.”

Shooting must stop various ideas voiced
Government warns AAUP makes recommendations
PINE RIDGE, S.D. (UPI) — The government’s chief
negotiator with the Indians occupying Wounded Knee Tuesday!
said “the fun and games are over" and warned that the shooting!
at the besieged town "is going to stop one way or the other
Kent Frizzell, assistant attorney general, hinted at a possible!
federal crackdown on the entrenched Indians as the Oglala Sioux I
tribal chairman reported that government officials told him two!
leaders of the militants had slipped out of the besieged village 1
Frizzell, who scheduled a meeting late Tuesday with leaders of I
the American Indian Movement AIM forces, did not confirm!
Oglala Chairman Dick Wilson’s report that AIM leaders Russell!
Means and Dennis Banks eluded federal forces during heavy |
gunfire Monday night
But Frizzell, who Monday night saw a U.S. marshal shot and!
riously wounded in the heaviest gunfire yet of the four-week!
occupation, said "the fun and games are over as far as I’m I
concerned." I
A federal marshal has been wounded,” he said. “We have!
anticipated for days for the loss of life. The propensity of future!
lose of life is great. "
"Housewives' revolt"
causes price drop
NASHVILLE. Tenn. (UPI) — Hog prices nosedived today at
markets across the south, and one Nashville broker said it was
clearly the result of the housewives' revolt over climbing food
prices.
Prices were off $3 to $4.25 at markets in Nashville and
Memphis and the Georgia-Florida-Alabama market at
Thomasville, Ga.. reported a similar drop.
At many markets the declines set all-time records, and the
plunge was not confined to the south. St. Louis and Chicago
mark els reported similar declines.
Ernest Tidwell of the Nashville Commission Co., a firm which
represents farmers dealing with packing companies, discounted
suggestion the price plunge could be tied to the supply and
demand factor.
He said the drop occurred too quickly, and noted: "Thel
housewives said they are going to boycott meat and the pakcers
got scared. They the packing companies are buying meat|
cheaper They've got to satisfy those housewives.”
By MICHELLE GREEN
Editor's Note: This is the
second in a four part series by
Michelle Green on the AAl'P
and the faculty and adminis
tration attitudes toward the
organization and its goals.
The American Association of
University Professors has
made three major recommend
ations to President Fred
Davison regarding the Univer
sity Council which they feel
would strengthen the voice of
faculty members.
There are currently 62
faculty members on the 100
man council, and the AAUP
has proposed that the number
be increased to 86. In addition,
they have called for the
faculty-elected committee to
be headed by a chairman also
elected by AAUP members.
The AAUP has also recom
mended that the faculty
members on the council be
permitted to meet separately if
they wish, in order to present a
more unified voice.
TIIE IDEA of a faculty
senate has occurred to some
AAUP members as an alterna
tive to t increased representa
tion on the Council, because,
according to Henry Sherrod,
associate law professor. ‘‘The
way things are structured it is
difficult for the faculty to have
a voice and feel any interest.”
Such a senate would enable
faculty members to air griev
ances in private, without fear
of censure. "It is unfortunate
that such an outlet does not
exist,” said Joe Easley,
assistant professor of law.
“The faculty needs some other
large organization to speak for
it, because the administration
will listen to numbers.”
Dr. Eugene Odum of the
Ecology Department agreed
that the faculty ‘‘is a dilute
body it is difficult to get a
consensus of opinion.” A
faculty senate would be a
feasible idea, he feels, because
“Some members of the admin
istration see the AAUP as
being radical, although there is
a complete spectrum of opinion
among the members."
Dr. Odum commented that
unionization of the faculty may
be in the future if the AAUP
does not become stronger. This
would be undesirable, he feels,
because, "Higher education is
not the place for this. The
union is another despot, only
looking at the material side of
things. There would be no
concern for academic freedom,
which is vital.” In dealing with
faculty problems, ‘‘Human
rights must be questioned,”
said Odum. *‘We need a design
for a more democratic Univer
sity. We (the AAUP) must
concentrate on the big issues
— salaries, retirement, fringe
benefits, and spend less time
on details.”
THIS IS difficult, because
according to Odum, ‘‘It's hard
to look ahead and put priorities
on tomorrow; someone must

be thinking about living within
our resources. The idea is to
make a better mechanism than
we have had without resorting
to pressure politics.”
One of the areas of great
concern to AAUP members is
faculty salaries. According to
Dr. Dwight Freshley, chair-
mnan of the AAUP, The
market Is tight right now but
the really top-notch professors
don’t have too much trouble
moving anywhere. The Univer
sity is not able to hold these
people
The AAUP has asked for an
increase in salaries and fringe
benefits to adjust to the
present increase in the cost of
living.
The current salaries for
faculty at the University are
the highest for any institution
within the university system.
The average salary at the level
of instructor is $9,950 per year,
and $12. 840 at the level of
assistant professor. Salaries
for associate professor average
$15,520 and those for full
professor average $19,620 per
year These figures, according
to Fasley, “are about at the
national average, maybe a
little lower. But we have to be
competitive to keep good
people. This is largely a
matter of educating the
legislature."

See page 3
"IF THE Board of Regents
comes up with enough money,
people will stay," agreed
Sherrod. "But the job market
is not good and the administra
tion appreciates this.”
Fringe benefits for faculty,
although "not as important as
the question of salaries.” said
Odum, "must also be reform
ed. We need to look at how the
funds are handled, and the
benefits need to be updated
For instance, there is no
organized agreement about
sabbatticals.”
In addition, he said, “The
statutes should be reworded so
that some parts cannot be used
for a trumped-up charge
against a teacher ” Currently,
the statutes forbid a teacher to
voice political or other opinions
which arc not precisely rele
vant to the subject he is
teaching.
ACCORDING TO Odum, this
is a potentially dangerous rule
because it is rather nebulous.
He cited an instance in which
former Governor Eugene Tal
madge ordered a University
professor fired because he
advocated integration. "The
faculty should be relatively
free from strong interference
such as this," said Odum.
