Hog prices rise
in major market
Hog prices rose sharply at most major livestock markets
Tuesday despite a nationwide meat boycott that trimmed
sales noticeably at butcher shops in many cities.
Beef-on the hoof was steady to higher
The housewives' revolt against soaring meat costs was in its
third day. Pro- and anti-boycott sources generally agreed it
was too early to effectively judge the impact of the April
Fool's Week protest.
Hog receipts were off substantially at 11 midwestern
markets, indicating many farmers were holding their animals
off the market because of uncertainty over the effect of the
boycott and the government’s imposition of ceilings on meat
prices.
In New York City supermarkets, meat counters looked
almost untouched and several managers reported tempers
were running hot between boycotters and customers who
sought to buy meat as usual.
A spot survey of Chicago chain food stores reported normal
or slightly below normal meat sales, but independent grocers
reported drops of as much as 40 per cent.
Most Detroit supermarkets reported the boycott’s effects
were still spotty. But sales of freezer beef are up in the Motor
City and some consumers were buying half a steer to beat the
high costs of individual cuts.
Calley takes appeal
to top military court
PINK RIDGK. S.D. — Federal authorities said Tuesday that
200 persons have been arrested sinee the seizure of Wounded I
Knee as they came out of the occupied hamlet on the Pinel
Bulge Reservation I
The new arrest figure was announced as negotiators for the'
government and the militant Indians entrenched at Wounded
Knee prepared for an unprecedented fourth consecutive day of
talks in an effort to end the 35-day stalemate.
Tuesday’s negotiating session was delayed by Indian
attorney Ramon Roubideaux’s involvement in a court case
elsewhere.
An air of optimism pervaded the concerted and prolonged
round of talks at Wounded Knee Assistant Attorney General
Kent Frizzell said after Monday s negotiating session that the
two sides were only one or two points apart and predicted
settlement "could come in the next two or three days."
Committee passes
food price rollback
WASHINGTON — The House Banking Committee voted
lenlafively Tuesday to roll back food prices fo May 1, 1972,
levels, and other prices and interest rates to March 16
Conservative Republicans, who oppose economic controls,
voted for the Democratic-sponsored rollbacks in hopes of
weighing the bill with so many liberal amendments that
neither the House nor President Nixon would accept it. The
hill would extend the Economic Stabilization Act — which
empowers the President to control wages and prices — for one
more year.
The committee could reverse the votes before it completes
work on the bill and there was speculation that Democrats
might try to overturn the food rollback amendment.
It was obvious from the beginning of the session that
Democrats had the votes to push through mandatory controls
on prices and interest rates Republicans then announced they
would try to sandbag the bill

Hanoi denies POW
charges of torture
SAIGON — Radio Hanoi said Tuesday that some American
POWs claimed they had been tortured in order to earn
promotions from the U.S. military as part of a
Washington-inspired "odious campaign of defamation against
the North Vietnamese prison system "
"What was anticipated by North Vietnamese authorities has
happened with the release of the last U.S. POW in Hanoi."
said the broadcast monitored in Saigon
"It has been expected that, baited by the pompous reception
staged by the Nixonadministrationand big fringe benefits, the
returned American POWs would actually turn against their
former benefactors." the broadcast said.
200 arrested since
seizure of hamlet
WASHINGTON — Attorneys for Army Lt. William L. Calley

appeal to the Court of Military Appeals in an effort to have his
conviction on the My Lai massacre overturned

system, was told by Cap! J Houston Gordon 26. Calley's
principal military lawyer that the Army made 30 errors in
prosecuting Calley's case

"YAL1. STINK " WAS THE WORD FROM THE BI S TO THESE RHINOS
Athens area children were abroad bus touring Lion Country
Communiversity tour of
safari enjoyed by many
By FRAN FULTON
City editor
"Watch out, he’s moving!"
"Aaaaaaaaaaagh" the child
ren on the bus screamed,
crouching closer to the win
dows.
“He's going tc charge!"
The huge lion reared its
head, yawned, and slapped
over on its back in the north
Georgia mud.
The children — mostly
young, black, "problem” child
ren their teachers had called
them — were winding through
Lion Country Safari on a trip
sponsored jointly by the
University's Communiversity
program and by Lion Country.
Many had not seen a lion —
or a rhinoceros or an ostrich —
in a cage, much less roaming
with relative freedom. They
had piled into an Athens
Recreation Department bus
and two vans and trailed
through the Preserve, their
eyes sharpened for movement
in the underbrush.
The ostriches obligingly
walked up to the bus and —
right at eye level with the
wide-eyed children — stared
sullenly through the glass and
pecked on the windows.
Everyone cracked their win
dows open once past the
ostriches; with the windows
closed the bus had turned into
a hothouse, a traveling human
cage with steamy windows.
Then they came to the
rhinos.
“Whew!"
“Hey, ya'H" one girl, There
sa. called to the dark bodies
huddled below the window.
"Ya'll stink!"
This indignity, and the noise
of the bus and two vans, left
the rhinos undisturbed at the
side of the road.
After the "safari" came
rides on a boat and a train
and. for many, a stop at a
glass shop to watch delicate
animals emerge from molten
bars of glass.
A trained parrot show which
finished off the day featured a
bird that rode backwards on a
motorcycle, termed "the Les
ter Maddox of the bird world."
Katie Shinbaum. the special
projects coordinator for the
Big Brother — Big Sister
program, described the trip as
one of several such outings
offered the children in the
program each year.
She had been working on the
trip since last November, and
was satisfied with the results.
About 70 children and Univer
sity students turned out for the
affair, and the bus and vans
were loaded to caDacitv.

CHILDREN GET THE EYE FROM THESE OSTRICHES
The obliging birds walked right up to thrir bus
By BONNIE JACHIMOWICZ
One persistant problem on
the University campus may be
solved for good by five
University students in a class
at the Georgia Center for
Continuing Education.
The five students are taking
a course on waste disposal this
quarter and that is the
problem they hope to solve in
the class taught by Herman D.
Swillev. safety engineering
assistant of the University
Safety Services department
Each of the students will
receive five hours credit for
their efforts to develop a
feasible answer to the solid
waste problem
“THE DISPOSAL of solid
waste is the most serious
pollution problem on campus
today." Dr. Charles H, White,
advisor to the Environmental
Health Science Club said.
“Cardboard is the biggest'
polluter by volume. It's a
problem to decide whether or
not the cardboard should be
burned, which destroys the
cardboard but pollutes the air.
or should be buried in a
landfill, which saves the air
but takes up a lot of room and
is an eyesore This is one of the
problems the students must
work with."
White said that another
problem was the safe disposal
of organic solvents such as
ether and alcohol.
"You just can’t dump these
chemicals down the drain,” he
said. "This problem isn't as
serious a one on campus as the
disposal of solid waste, but it's
a problem nonetheless.”
The first two weeks of the
course will be spent in
determining exactly what the
waste problem is on campus
and how big it is. The
students will have to figure out
how much waste is being
dumped on campus. Each
student will be assigned a
certain area in the problem to
work with.
"ONE STUDENT might fig
ure out how many cubic feet of
cardboard is dumped on
campus everyday Another
might find out how much trash
is deposited in the Dempsey
Dumpsters on each day of the
week,” Dr. White said. “Then
Ore. passes
state shield
for newsmen
SALEM. Ore. lUPI) — The
Oregon House of Representa
tives Monday passed a bill
giving reporters virtually un
qualified protection against
having to reveal sources of
information The bill was sent
to Gov Tom McCall, a former
new sman, w ho w as expected to
sign it.
The bill provides that no
authority in any branch of
government can compel a
reporter to reveal confidential
information sources.
The only conditions under
which a reporter would be
forced to reveal confidential
information are in civil suits
for defamation, in which the
defendant asserts a defense
based on the information, or in
a case where the informant
offers himself as a witness
In Portland, the president of
the National Radio and Televi
sion News Directors Associa
tion said Monday that more
newsmen will go to jail
protecting their sources before
a "shield law" is enacted by
Congress
"Nobody is asking for a
privilege for the newsmen."
said Charles F Harrison of
WGN in Chicago "The privi
lege is for the citizens of the
United States "

another student can channel
this information into one of the
factors that contributes to solid
waste pollution.”
White said that the third
week of the course would be
spent in libraries in Atlanta,
looking up a list of possible
agencies that have money, and
might be willing to sponsor the
students' disposal project.
"The students would go over
each of the agencies to find one
that might be susceptible to
giving money to develop a
solution based on an original
project proposed by the
students," White stated. "The
students would decide which of
their proposals is the best, and
then present that proposal to
university officials, who would
adopt that one to use to dispose
of solid waste on campus.”
WHITE SAID that the
students would be working
with companies that could
contract to remove waste, and
to get estimates and bids on
how much removing waste
from campus would cost.
"The students will be doing
everything very professional
ly," he said, and added that he
was “expecting great things"
from this course.
“And," he added, “it's
certainly cheaper letting the
students solve the waste
disposal problem, rather than
spending a couple of hundred
dollars a day on consulting
agencies and letting them do
it."
SDX files brief;
Nieman speaks
By SUSAN WELLS
and FRANK Tl TT
The student chapter of
Sigma Delta Chi. professional
journalism society, at their
meeting last week passed a
resolution to file an Amicus
Curiea (friend of the court)
brief in support of the suit filed
by WRNG radio station in
Atlanta against the DeKalb
County commission.
WRNG’s suit is being filed on
the basis of the “Sunshine
law" which requires that
public agencies have public
meetings.
The student chapter is
seeking the support of the
Northeast Georgia Profession
al chapter which is centered in
Athens and the support of the
student chapter at Georgia
State University and the
Atlanta professional chapter in
filing the brief.
At the same meeting of the
journalism society, Doyl Nie
mann. managing editor of
Atlanta's Great Speckled Bird
claimed that the apparent
decline in activism on cam
puses across the nation, rather
than signaling the end of the
radical movement, represents
a “digging in" phase.
Niemann, attributed the
widespread apathy to disillu
sionment and cynicism. "The
Bird sees this as a point in
process. Activism is still going
on beneath the surface." he
said.
Niemann said that the Bird
differs from most papers in
that it makes no claims of
objectivity. “The Bird focuses
not just on exposing society’s
ills, but on changing them We
are a socialist paper." he said.
The Bird also differs from
many other papers in that it is
independently owned. Niemann
said, and run as a collective by
the people who work there
Niemann said that this inde
pendence and lack of editorial
restraint frees the Bird to
tackle subjects which "Strai
ght" newspapers are unwilling
to deal with.

her.
She’s all you’ve got.
