Nixon halts beef
and pork prices
WASHINGTON UPI — President Nixon Thursday night
clamped a ceiling on the prices of beef, pork and lamb —
limiting them to the highest level charged during the past 30
days
“Whet we need is action that will stop the rise in meat
prices now ." Nixon said in a nationwide radio and television
speech. "Meat prices must not go higher With the help of
the housewife and the farmer, they can and should go down.”
The ceiling applies to all purchases and sales of meat after
slaughter, but as has been the case throughout Nixon's
three part program the controls do not affect prices
charged by farmers
In his 20-minute speech, the President also declared that the
nation has acheived its goal of “peace with honor" in
Vietnam, although he repeated his warning to N'orht Vietnam
against infiltration of men and equipment into the South.
Nixon also called for public support in his pending battles
with Congress over expected vetoes of spending increases for
domestic programs
Pope permits laity
to give communion
VATICAN CITY The Vatican gave formal permission
Thursday to lay persons, including women, to distribute
communion wafers in circumstances where priests are absent
or in short supply
The Vatican instruction made it clear that men are
considered more suitable than women for this task and that
men who have taken religious vows are preferable to those
who have not.
Last year the Vatican barred women from having formal
Church titles such as rector or acolyte.
Even now. in places where they are allowed to distribute
communion wafers, they will not have a special title.
Senator pessimistic
on Indian settlement
PINE RIDGE, S.D. — Sen. James Abourezk said Thursday
that prospects for a negotiated settlement of the Indian
occupation of Wounded Knee have "greatly decreased" with
th«* collapse of an armed mutiny within the militants' ranks.
An attorney for the American Indian Movement (AIM)
forces denied there was any dissension in the hamlet seized in
an armed takeover 30 davs ago.
Abourezk. D-S.D . and Ramon Roubideaux, issued
statements in Rapid City, S.D.. on the stalemate as
government officials and militant leaders jockeyed over
arrangements for renewed negotiations.
Abourezk. who Tuesday reported that the month-long
stand-off on the Pine Ridge Reservation appeared to be
ending, was pessimistic Thursday.
Mutiny hits tanker
anchored off Tampa
TAMPA, Fla — The first mate of the Greek tanker
Michalakis jumped overboard early today, swam to nearby
hgmont Key and told authorities there was a mutiny aboard
the ship and one crewman had been killed
The Coast Guard said the 557-foot tanker was anchored
about five and a halt miles off Egmont Key at the mouth of
Tampa Bay and the master of the ship had requested
permission to re-enter the port of Tampa because of a near
mutiny.
The Coast Guard said the ship had unloaded some cargo in
Tampa Wednesday and during that time, "several crewmen,
jumped ship " The crewmen, however, were rounded up by
border patrol agents and placed back aboard by the time it set
sail early Wednesday night
The master of the ship, who was not identified, apparently
had more trouble with the crew shortly after getting
underway and anchored the vessel in the Egmont ship channel
alxiut five and a half miles from land. He summoned the
harbor pilot by semaphore signal, told him of the near mutiny
and requested permission to re enter the port

tration attitudes.
"There is nothing that
occpies more needless time
and discussion than the need to
publish." said Freshley.
“There is an increased pres
sure to publish with quality
and documentation. The qual
ity of an institution must be
documented if you want a
prominent graduate program.
Publishing serves as a type of
publicity program. However,
the leaching of the undergrad
uate shouldn't be denigrated at
the expense of publishing." he
said "Sometimes you have to
make a short-term sacrifice to
help the undergraduate by
attracting better faculty mem
bers through publishing." This
sometimes creates a problem,
however, because "Some peo
ple are gifted in the discipline
of writing and some are simply
not geared to cranking it out,”
said Freshley.
Other members feel that the
emphasis on publishing is too
great. "The administration
REACTIVATED
seems to be more interested in
publications than in teaching."
said Mr. Easley. "There is an
undue emphasis on the quanti
ty of publications. No one
would contend that teaching is
the only consideration, but it is
a question of the proper
balance. To whom do you owe
your first consideration*’"
What can a faculty member
to if he has complaints about
hiring and firing procedures,
academic freedom, tenure,
etc? According to Henry
Sherrod, former head of the
Faculty Rights Committee of
the AAUP. " Generally . the
AAL’P is the last resori after
you have done everything
else The first step is taking
the problem to the head of
your department, but there is
no real internal structure for
dealing with complaints.”
"THE AAlP'S function is to
hear complaints and determine
if there is sufficient cause to
intervene with the administra
tion." said Pete McCommons
of the Institute of Government.
“We^ire primarily a lobbying
organization."
Efforts to intervene with the
administration on behalf of
Married student
council forms
By JOYCE MURDOCH
Assistant news editor
The reactivated Married
Student Council approved its
constitution Tuesday night.
The new council's constitution
provides for moie power for
off-campus married students
than they exercised in the old
council which became defunct
last spring
The constitution was drafted
by the council's steering
committee. During winter
quarter the committee met
several times to work out the
constitution’s details. The com
mittee also "tried to stir up
interest and get enough people
together to form a council,”
said Janice Cummings, a
committee member.
John Cox, University coor
dinator of Graduate and
Married Students, said. "The
climate for support of a
married student council by the
administration and the student
government is better than it’s
Iwen during the 26 years I’ve
lived here (the University).”
ONE REASON married stu
dents are beginning to get
more recognition may be their
number, approximately 4.600
They comprise 24 per cent of
the student body.
The purpose of the council as
stated in its constitution is "to
serve the legitimate needs of
married students of this
University and to act as liaison
between them and the faculty,
the administration, and the
Student Government Associa
tion."
The specific needs the
council discussed Tuesday
include dependent health care,
less expensive housing and day
care, more recreational activi
ties. and an improved job
locator. The group said funds
are presently being searched
for to provide an orientation
manual for married students
first entering Athens
The assistant manager of
Family Housing. Bill Hamer,
told the group of activities that
the initial stages of an
improved recreational pro
gram have already been
planned Married Student Day
is scheduled to be a picnic with
games.
ALSO. FOR THE children of
married students an Easter
Egg Hunt is planned and
puppet show was given. The
Cultural Affairs Division of the
Student Union provided $50 for
the puppet show. The council
discussed getting a married
student into that division to
assist in directing more
programs toward married
students.
The membership portion of
the constitution was written
with the housing ratio in mind,
the committee said. It states
"the membership shall be
comprised of five representa
tives of University Married
Student Housing, 18 represen
tatives of married students
living off campus, and one
representative from each of
the following organizations:
Dames Club. Pharmacy Wives,
Law Dames. Mu Rho Sigma.
Graduate Student Council, and
Georgia Veteran’s Union."
faculty members have been
"fairly successful." according
to Joe Easley, current head of
the Faculty Rights committee.
“We try to do our own
investigation of the com
plaints." he said. "Sometimes
there is just no way to get
things done, though."
In a case where the AAUP
intervention has been unsuc
cessful. said Sherrod. "We will
threaten censure of the nation
al AAl'P. The prospect of
adverse publicity usually will
move the administration. They
will cooperate if somebody
makes an issue and fights
about it."
According to President Fred
Davison. "None of the pro
blems with which the AAUP
concerns itself are unique to
this institution
"I HAVEN’T heard many
new problems." said Davison.
“Most of the administrators
have come through faculty
channels and are well acquain
ted with the difficulties in
volved "
In answer to charges by’
AAUP members that he is
inaccessible to both students
and faculty, Davison com
mented. "I am probably more
accessible than the deans of
most schools. If you don't stick
to a chain of command you
just can t get any work done,
and a lot of people are
depending on me to get things
done
•THE PROBLEMS that
reach this office are very
complex." continued Davison.
"They have strong cases on
both sides, and it takes a lot of
discussion to solve them.”
President Davison said that
he is aware of the interests of
both faculty and students, but
that "The general public and
the sponsoring society must be
answered to. The University
does not belong to me. the
students, or the faculty, but to
the general society that
chartered it," Davison said.
Davison feels that many
people at the University do not
fully realize the difficulty of
his job. "You can’t explain to
anyone the complexity of a job
like this I have to insure that
generations of students can get
the right kind of education
here.”
Regarding the administra
tion's attitude towards the
AAUP. Davison said. There is
no distrust on our part. Theirs
is a world of opinion, but we

world of decision. We must
decide for the long-term good
of the institution."
DAN ISON pointed out the
recent growth in the Univer
sity's graduate and service
programs, saying that. "Many
people are focusing on the
negative aspects ot the Univer
sity rather than on the great
strides we have made recent
ly "
What is in the future for the
AAUP or similar organiza
tions'* Opinions differ Accord
ing to Henry Sherrod, associ
ate professor of law, "The
AAL'P will get stronger gradu
ally and will continue The
more conservative professors
are starting to feel pinched,
but they haven't yet gotten to
the point of joining. However,
it takes time to build any
organization. The pattern of
the administration's conduct is
going to make them (the
faculty) believe in the need to
get together '
OTHERS ARE not as opti
mistic. " The AAUP is a good
and powerful national organi
zation and I want to see it
grow." said one professor.
“But there’s not much you can
do with the present policies of
the administration."
"Maybe the AAUP is ineffec
tive now. but I would hope that
it is still the one cross-campus
organization for faculty,” said
Freshley. "I would hate to see
it radicalized.”
Dr. Eugene Odum of the
ecology department comment
ed. "The AAUP must become
more organized. We are trying
for a fundamental attitude in
the philosophy of University
governance, and that takes
time. The Regents are good
men. but they are political
appointees and are more
conserative than most faculty
members."
Other members of the AAUP
foresee an eventual unioniza
tion. "Some feel that the only
answer is a union,” said
Alexander "This will probably
happen in the little colleges
and work its way up to us.”
•THE TENDENCY else
where is for unionization,”
agreed Easley. "Mostly this is
in the junior colleges and
technical schools; relatively
few universities have collective
bargaining But the idea of
bargaining here is still pretty
far off Most faculty members
feel that life is still liveable
here, and they have a hard
time picturing the scholar in a
