HUBBUBS'
Seating plan ludicrous'
TO THK EDITOR:
I am writing this letter in
protest of the recent decision
to have random seating in the
fall quarter football games this
year. As of next fall quarter, 1
will be a junior, and for this
reason 1 feel 1 must protest
against this ludicrous seating
plan.
Under the new seating plan a
junior or senior may be
required to sit in Aisle 12,
while a first quarter freshman
may find himself occupying a
prime seat in the former
reserved section for upper
classmen. 1 feel this is unfair
to someone such as myself,
who, by next fall quarter will
have invested in the University
of Georgia approximately (if
not more) $2,317.56. Since we
as Juniors have more at stake
in this university than incom
ing freshmen, I feel that we
should enjoy some privileges.
And one of these privileges
should include the continuation
of the reserved seating section
for upperclassmen at football
games.
Under the new seating
system, pure chance alone
determines where a person will
sit. You have no choice as to
your seat due to the new
"lottery system.”
Also I want to voice my
dissent against the Red and
Black for putting its newspa
per article of the seating
arrangement on page 7 of the
March 28 issue. The picture of
W.O.M.E.N. protesting the
Bridal Fair was given front
page coverage. Is a decision
that concerns 20,000 students
less important than a diminu
tive portion of our campus
population such as W.O.
M.E.N
ULMER BRIDGES
themselves have been a part of
Coalition’s membership since
its inception in 1972. In fact,
Coalition was the only campus
political group to include a
veterans’ plank in its 1972
platform, and Coalition’s pled
ge to create a Minister to
Veterans Affairs led to estab
lishment of that post during
the current Student Govern
ment administration.
A major problem facing
almost every campus veteran
today is the inadequacy of
current educational benefits
under the GI Bill. Coalition has
actively worked for passage of
a free-tuition bill in the
Georgia General Assembly as
one step toward reducing the
disparity between current edu
cational benefit levels and
benefits provided to veterans
of previous wars. We renew
last year’s pledge to seek
legislative approval of a
free-tuition plan for all Viet
nam-era veterans (such legis
lation died in a House
committee this session) and, if
elected, the full force of the
Student Government Associa
tion will be marshaled for this
effort.
We support the efforts of the
Georgia Veterans Union to
provide an organizational base
for campus veterans fo help
deal with their needs at a
veteran-to-veteran level, and
we offer our assistance thro
ugh the availability of Student
Government resources and
facilities.
Coalition proposes that elec
tive credit be awarded vete
rans on the basis of their
military experience and, where
necessary or desirable, "all-
veteran’’ classes be permitted
in certain subjects and course
offerings. Additionally, vete
rans should be given first
consideration as tutors for
other veterans under the
current V.A.-financed tutoring
program.
of 10 percent or more. Such
funds would be earmarked for
special veterans' programs on
campus, and we feel that
withholding these funds is
another example of the lack of
concern for the problems and
needs of today’s veteran.
Coalition will work with the
Governor’s office, Georgia’s
congressional delegation, and
other state and federal officials
and use whatever methods
appropriate to help restore
funding to this much-needed
veterans' program.
Finally, Coalition will not
treat campus veterans as
“heroes" — few veterans
consider themselves such —
but neither will we ignore
campus veterans, for they
have sacrificed months, or
years, many have suffered
physical and mental anguish in
a war which no one wanted,
and now those same veterans
must grapple with the pro
blems of re-entering a much-
changed educational environ
ment and restoring some
semblance of order to lives
which may have been sererely
jolted by the impact of their
military experience Veterans
at the University of Georgia
represent a significant minori
ty of the student population;
they have much to offer the
University, and they will be a
determining force in the future
of this country. Coalition
simply feels that the disadvan
tages and obstacles — altitudi
nal, financial, of whatever
nature — should be removed,
so that veterans may realize
the full potential of their
educational goals. To this end,
Coalition pledges the full
support of the Student Govern
ment Association, and all its
resources and facilities.

Winter cuts called gems
l lu- I1. H ;,nd Black. Wednesday. April 4. 1973
By MIKE BLUM
Johnny Winter is still alive
and well as evidenced by his
new album, appropriately enti
tled, "Still Alive and Well."
His most recent work marks
his first release since his
outstanding live recording of
about two years back, and
ends a self-imposed lay off, in
which he attempted to get off
smack
"Still Alive and Well"
represents an excellent follow
up to "Johnny Winter And —
Live," and should reestablish
him as one of the two or three
top rock guitarists today, if not
the very best. With a good deal
of assistance from bassist
Randy Jo Hobbs and drummer
Richard Hughes. Winter has
put out an album that is
notable, among other reasons,
for its lack of any below
quality cuts. All ten are gems.
Any doubts about possible
effects from his musical hiatus
are quickly dispelled on the
album's first track, the oft-re-
corded "Rock Me Baby " His
version of the Willie Broonzv-
Arthur Crudup classic sets the
tone for the remainder of the
album, which is primarily a
showcase for Winter’s instru
mental brilliance.
The rapid changes in flow
along with the constant varia
tions in the sound and pitch of
his guitar, topped by his short
bursts of tremendous energy
are all here. Combine that with
the punching bass lines of
Hobbs and the two-fisted
drumming of Hughes, a Winter
trademark, and you have the
makings of what should rate as
one of the finest albums of the
year.
Perhaps the best of the
tracks on the first side is the
final cut, "Rock & Roll,"
which brings back memories of
his rip-roaring recording of
Dylan’s "Highway 61" from
the "Second Winter" album
An A-one Winter solo high
lights the driving "All Tore
Down. ” and his expressive
voice, which is much more
consistent than on his earlier
albums, is featured on Rick
HEW withdraws
aid to Vet School
End obstacles
for veterns
TO THE EDITOR:
As a candidate for the
Student Senate and member of
the Georgia Veterans Union I
would like to present Coali
tion's position as related to
veterans.
With the end of the war in
Vietnam, it is time for us to
3urn our attention to the
veterans who bore the brunt of
the war, who now face unique
and sometimes severe read
justment problems as they
return home — many of them
to the campus.
At the University of Georgia,
more than 2,000 veterans are
pursuing their educational
goals after an absence of two,
three, or four years in the
military, and the effects of
those years must be recognized
and the impact of the
experiences suffered by these
veterans during a time of
national uncertainty and bitter
divisiveness over the war must
be dealt with.
Coalition is acutely aware of
the kinds of problems confront
ing veterans at the University
of Georgia, because veterans
Coalition’s Minister to Vete
rans Affairs will seek adoption
of preferential hiring policies
among local and campus
employers and initiation of the
practice of “job-splitting” to
provide more campus veterans
with good part-time jobs at
decent salaries Additionally,
we will push for creation of
work-study positions, office
and desk space, and telephones
specifically for veteran infor
mation and counseling ser
vices. Any University of
Georgia veteran should be
provided with fast, reliable
assistance on educational, em
ployment, or financial pro
blems on campus, without
having to call or write the V.A.
in Atlanta and without having
to suffer the delays and red
tape usually associated with
veterans’ problems.
In that regard, while we will
work to establish such services
through channels already ex
isting at the University of
Georgia. Coalition will also put
the full weight of the Student
Government Association be
hind efforts to secure release
of impounded funds under the
Cranston Amendment, which
would provide for $400 per
veteran to be paid to any
school or college showing a
veterans’ enrollment increase
PSA still looks
like AU
TO THE EDITOR:
I noticed in the Wednesday,
March 28th edition of the Red
and Black that Danny Hughes
claimed that few of the PSA
candidates were left over from
the old Action Union political
regime. He sounded much like
the proverbial quality dog who
barked first although his
intentions are quite clear. With
Action Union’s record of
incompetence and lack of
regard for students, you can’t
really blame anyone for not
wanting to be identified with it.
But for all of Danny’s hopes,
the skeletons remain. Not only
did PSA’s entire executive
slate run on the Action Union
ticket before, but so did most
(if not all) of their incumbent
senators.
Unfortunately, changing
one’s political name is much
like changing clothes when a
good bath is needed also. If
you aren’t awfully careful, the
stinch remains.

The University College of
Veterinary Medicine, along
with the 17 other colleges of
veterinary medicine in the
country, is being phased out of
capitation grants administered
by the federal government for
the 1973 and 1974 school years,
according to the secretary of
Health, Education, and Wel
fare, Caspar W. Weinberger.
Weinberger made the an
nouncement in the March
publication of the National
Institute of Health.
Medical, dental, and osteo
pathic schools will continue to
be funded whereas no schools
of veterinary medicine, phar
macy, podiatry, or optometry
will receive federal capitation
allotments
In 1972, these allotments
totaled $1700 for each of the 250
students at the University’s
College of Veterinary Medi
cine.
“In the foreseeable future
this act will stymie the
expansion of existing veterina
ry colleges and prevent the
development of new veterinary
colleges,” said Dr. L.M.
Crawford, associate dean of
the Vet school.
Repercussions of the act
include a possible cutback in
the class size, interns, and
residents. The admissions off
ice will be forced to consider
the student’s ability to pay the
increased fees which will
accommodate the lack of
federal funds.
Ed Davidson, national presi
dent of the Student American
Veterinary Medicine Associa
tion and a junior in the
veterinary school, views the
cut back as an inconvenience.
"We will now have to pound
the concrete looking for
private lending agencies to
support the risk of a veterina
rian’s education,” Davidson
said.
The President’s 1974 Health
Manpower Budget cuts VOOP
(Veterinary Medicine. Optome
try. Podiatry, and Pharmacy)
Capitation funds from $25,200,
000 in 1972 to $13,700,000 in 1973
and to no money at all in 1974.
Three new buildings which
were to be financed by the
Capitation Grant have just
been completed at the vet
school. The construction in
cludes a library and audio-tu
torial center, a classroom and
student lounge complex, and
an equine center for horse
surgery. These buildings were
proposed under an expansion
agreement with the govern
ment to increase enrollment by
10 percent each year. To help
absorb the increased costs for
educating these additional
students, the government
agreed to share in the
increased costs.
“We feel that the federal
government has reneged on its
agreement with the colleges of
veterinary medicine,”stated
Joseph Paige, president of the
student chapter of AVMA at
Tuskegee Institute. "We do not
feel that the need for an
increased number of veterina
rians has been changed nor do
we feel that President Nixon
has been advised properly,’’
Paige added.
A Senate hearing is planned
by the National Legislative
CommittM of SAVMA. The
student lobbying group is
working with the National
Health Institute ot protest this
cutback.
Derringer's "Cheap Tequila.’’
Derringer has focused his
musical talents on the produc
ing aspect, and his effort
comes off better with Johnny
than with brother Edgar,
whose recent release is marred
by its commercial slickness
Derringer also lends a band
instrumental^’ on a tew tunes,
most notably on "Ain’t Nothing
to Me.’* a faithfully rendered
country and western number
Derringer’s work on pedal
steel guitar and JW"s highly
competent vocal make an
infrequent journey for the two
into C&W a successful one
"Too Much Seconal" is more
in line with Winter's blues
orientation, and he demon
strates his versatility by
picking a few nice chords on
both acoustic guitar and
mandolin. The title cut. also a
Derringer composition, is not
quite up to Rock & Roll Rick’s
version on Edgar's "Road
work" LP. primarily due to the
absence of the horns and
harmony of the "Roadwork"
cut. Nevertheless. Johnny’s
rendition is still an excellent
3:43 of music.
The side's other two tracks.
"Silver Train” and “Let it
Bleed." are both Jagger-Rich
ard numbers, which the elder
of the world’s most famous
pair of albino brothers seems
to excel on. On the former he
makes a good-natured effort to
imitate Mick's limey accent
and renders a non-imitative.
but definitely interesting, vo
calization to the latter.
Prior to the live album,
Winter had shown flashes of
the talent that Columbia
Records thought was deserving
of a huge contract for a then
unknown Texas guitarist. That
album is. I believe, probably
the finest live recording I have
ever heard and almost as
suredly contains the best live
guitar work you will have the
good fortune to listen to.
"Still Alive and Well" does
not equal "Johnny Winter And
— Live." but that is more a
result of the almost matchless
quality of the live recording
Everything else aside, the new
album is more than apt
testimony to the primary
Winter talent that separates
him from any other guitarist
you can name, including the
generally acknowledged top
man in the field. Eric Clapton.
Johnny Winter is simply able
to coax more sounds out of his
guitar than anyone, and is able
to do so without sacrificing
quality.
