Mr. Lewis Brown, a Civil
Defense field officer manning
relief operations, noted that
advance warning of the storm
had given the various agencies
some time to prepare to be on
the scene of the disaster. They
were unsure of whether the
twister would touch down in
the area, he said, but when it
did hit Clarke County, “bounc
ing like a rubber ball,” the
various relief agencies had
been alerted.

A multi-agency relief center
has been established for storm
victims under the direction of
Governor Jimmy Carter, he
said. Located at the Lyndon'
House on Hoyt St., the center
will offer the services of
federal, state and local agen
cies and offer a central point'
where residents can talk over
their problems with health and
welfare agencies and get an
estimate on damage done to
their property, he reported.
The financial loss suffered
by the state during the storm
may reach as high as $100
million, according to Jody
Powell, press aide to the
governor A civil defense
estimate has placed damage to
Clarke County at more than
$17 million.'
"We are reasonably confi
dent that we will receive
federal aid," he said, noting
that officials of the Office of
Emergency Preparedness were
touring the area by helicopter
yesterday.

Change to stereo format
considered for WUOG
WUOG-FM Stereo?
Ii might be in the near
future The University radio
station would like to go to a
stereo format possibly as soon
as next September
Nothing has been officially
approved, but Station Manager
Ed Dunbar proposed the
matter to the Board of Student
Co" miMfinn* -O tl,,. TV,,re
day, March 29, meeting. The
proposal to go stereo was
referred to the finance com
mittee by the Communications
Board
The funds needed for WUOG
to go stereo are $3600,
according to Beau Allen,
Program Director at the
campus station. These finances
for the media will come from
student activities fees if the
move is approved by the
student government.
Equipment at the station has
cost $13,065 thus far. The
original plans for the station
were to go stereo, and with a
slight transmitter modification
the switch could be made.

After April 9, University stu
dents may no longer find
periodic beer-hauling trips to
Arcade profitable. That’s the
day Governor Jimmy Carter is
expected to sign into law a
measure that sets a minimum
and maximum beer sales tax
that municipalities may col
lect.
Senator Paul Broun of
Athens introduced a bill in the
state legislature this year to
reduce the ability of municipal
ities, like Arcade, to charge
less tax on each case of beer in
order to capitalize on mass
sales.
BROUN LABELED Arcade’s
sales out and out "boot-leg
ging," and noted that the
majority of Arcade’s business
in beer sales came from
outside of Jackson County,
where Arcade is located.
The new minimum tax that
can be charged on a 12-ounce
can of beer is 3.5 cents, with
the maximum being five cents
per 12 ounces. Therefore, the
tax on a case of 12-ounce cans
would be between 84 cents and
$1.20.
J. Comer Whitehead, chair
man of the City Council’s
Finance Committee, told the
Red and Black that he expects
the city and county to agree on
a tax of between four and four
and a half cents per 12-ounce
can.
WHITEHEAD, WIIO is also
assistant to the University’s
vice president of business and
finance, said that the city and
county had not gotten together
on a concrete figure as of last
week He is awaiting word
from County • Commission
Fraternities
to present
schlorship
Fre-hmen and sophomore
men who have attended the
University for three quarters
may apply for a full in-state
tuition scholarship. The schol
arship is given by the
Interfraternity Council from
the income of a corpus placed
in the Alumni Endowment
Fund.
The scholarship is awarded
on the basis of scholastic
record, extracurricular activi
ties and financial need. Each
applicant is interviewed by a
committee consisting of the
advisor to fraternities, the IFC
president and the alumni
secretary.
Applications may be secured
from the advisor to fraternities
office in 207 Memorial Dead
line for rcturing them is April
16 at 5 p.m.
Chairman J. Smiley Wolfe as
to the county's tax proposal.
Whitehead foresees no prob
lem of the city and county
agreeing on a tax rate, but he
did emphasize, “There’s no
way the city and county can
differ on this.”
HE EXPLAINED that if the
county decided on a lower tax
rate than the city, the county
would absorb all beer sales,
and vice versa.
"If there's a difference in
opinion on either side, I’m sure
a compromise can be worked
out," he added.
One reason the city and
county have not yet acted on
the measure, Whitehead noted,
is that the measure must be
waited upon to get the
governor’s signature. How
ever, Whitehead does not
expect the governor to balk at
the resolution now.
"WE CERTAINLY would not
want to pass the measure here
in Athens if it were vetoed
later on,” he stated.
If the measure receives the
expected approval of Gov.
Carter, it would go into effect
immediately.
The Council’s Finance Chair
man also expects beer sales in
Athens and Clarke to be
increased as much as 150,000
cases this year alone. Addi
tional revenue to local govern
ments could reach as much as
$180,000, according to local
estimates.
THE NEW LAW will also
provide for a new tax reporting
plan, which will save local
governments the money given
the distributors for putting tax
stamps on bottles and cans.
According to Whitehead,
local governments must, by-
virtue of the new measure, put
proportionate taxes on differ
ing sizes of beer and wine
containers. The same tax rate
per 12 ounces will be applied
across the board, which will
have the effect of cutting
present taxes on smaller
containers, which now go at a
proportionally higher tax rate
than large containers.
For example, if the city and
county decide on a 4.5 cents
per 12-ounce can rate of
taxation, the tax on a 24-can
case of 12-ounce cans would be
$1.08; in contrast, the tax on a
case of 16-ounce cans would be
$1.44.
