Viet involement
possible for U. S.
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Defense Secretary Elliot Rich
ardson said Tuesday if North
Vietnam flagrantly violates the
Indochina cease-fire, the Unit
ed States might have to
resume bombing in support of
South Vietnamese troops
He said President Nixon
needs no new authority from
Congress to do it.
Richardson said he was
confident South Vietnam would
be able to provide for its own
security in the near future,
even if North Vietnam engages
in a massive invasion. But he
said if violations of the truce
continue and “if it were
critical to the survival of South
Vietnam,” the United States
might be forced into ‘‘the
reintroduction of U.S. forces."
“We have to keep open the
possibility that, in case of
flagrant violations, we might
have to provide significant
help.” he told a house
Appropriations subcommittee
hearing on the military budget.
By that, Kicharson made it
clear under questioning, he
was referring to renewed
American bombing in Viet
nam He said that the
President “needs no new grant
of authority” to renew the
bombing, claiming Nixon has
“residual authority" to achieve
compliance with the peace
agreement.

Grad residents, wives
reflect on dorm living
All the couples praised the
courtesy and respect students
show for their privacy. “The
guys have been really great,’
says Ms Kiordan of Russell
Hall. “They watch then-
language around me and help
with such things as carrying in
the groceries.” Some colorful
language floats in from the
hall, says Ms Miracle, but the
residents keep it down aroudn
her Ms. Owen praised Reed
Hall's resident assistants, say
ing “They do such a fine job of
taking care of any problems
that arise that it is only in an
emergency that my husband is
called.”
while the Ayives of other
graduate residents help their
husbands in an unofficial role,
the Cooks are an official
working team in the Mell-Lips
comb community. Ms. Cook
handles the administrative
work while her husband
coordinates the dorm’s activi
ties. Living in the community
provides Ms Cook with admin
istrative information her hus
band may not have "We
sometimes get our communi
cation lines crossed." says Mr.
Cook, “but we manage to work
things out well because we
both look at things in different
ways which can give a broader
perspective to the situation.
In such complementing roles
the Cook's sometimes find life
hectic, with the responsibility
to their six-month old son Chris
conflicting with that to the
dorm Activities in the dorm
can easily tie u the Cooks four
out of five nights a week,
although living in the commun
ity numerous baby-sitters, said
Ms Cook.

Mrs. Conk says babysitters are easy to find in the dorm
the 27 graduate residents on
campus, although dorm living
can create some minor prob
lems. Graduate residents’
wives can assist their hus
bands in co-ordinating activi
ties and counseling dorm
residents.
Residents need a woman to
talk to, said Mrs. Jim Kiordan
of Russell Hall, and they come
to her for advice. If a graduate
resident must be located in a
hurry, his wife will know
where he is. "If Bob is not
here." said Mrs. Bob Ade of
Reed Hall. “I know the most
likely place to reach him or
else put that person in contact
with whoever they need."
Youth Corps Summer Program
will be hit by federal fund cuts
By PATRICK K. FRYK
There will probably be no
Neighborhood Youth Corps
(NYC) Summer Program this
year because of federal fund
cutbacks. reported Frank
Griffeth. director of NYC.
The youth corps, a part of
Action, Incorporated's Out
reach program, is funded by
the federal Department of
Labor The corps only knows
positively that its youth-orient
ed programs will continue until
this summer.
In general. NYC has worked
to provide financial assistance,
work experience, and training
to disadvantaged young people
Although the summer employ
ment program may be scrap
ped. the yearlong projects
designed to help dropouts and
potential dropouts are continu
ing. Griffeth said.
TIIF CUTBACKS come on
the heels of a reduction of
Model Cities money which
forced that agency to drop a
program similar to that
operated by Action. Inc.
The NYC summer program
had offered work and counsel
ing to young people who had
hot yet graduated from high
school and needed financial
assistance to continue their
education Last year the
enrollees — which numbered
over 1300 for a 10 county area
— generally worked 26 hours a
week throughout the summer
and earned $1.60 an hour
The only thing Griffeth
knows for sure is that the other
NYC programs will continue
until the summer “We’re
going to have some cutbacks,
he said. "The information
regarding cuts hasn't gotten to
the regional office yet
“It doesn't look good There
is a possibility that we won’t
have a program at all “
IIF ADDED THAT, like
other social service agencies,
the NYC is having a rough
time with its long range
planning for its other projects,
the Out-of-School Program,
geared for dropouts, and the
In-School Program, designed
to keep potential dropouts in
school
The dropouts are enrolled in
a program of work experience,
basic education, counseling,
and skill training. Griffeth
said The young people
usually 16 or 17 — usually work
in public agencies and receive
training in local school facili
ties. Those in the "potential”
droroutcategor^JSuaM>M*angy
from 14 to 21 years of age and
receive counseling and an
average of 10 hours a week of
work through the agency.
All NYC enrollees must meet
poverty requirements to be
included, and applicants with
the lowest incomes are given
top priority, he said.
TIIK IN-SCHOOL and Out-of
School programs cover a 10
county area. Griffeth said,
adding that four or five
thousand people could be
enrolled — if NYC had the
money.
NYC has paid the salaries of
the young people, who are
farmed out to non-profit
agencies, he said.

Spring: A time to enjoy the
outdoors, and a time for
camping.
And camping — often
considered the preserve ot the
young and healthy — will be
what 50 senior citizens will be
doing as they move into
Winder’s Fort Yargo Will-A-
Way State Park for a weekend
in May
TIIK UPCOMING trip is
co-sponsored by the Athens
Recreation and Parks Depart
ment. the Athens Community
Council on Aging iACCA). and
the Model Cities Program.
These three organizations have
provided the financial and staff
support for the previous two
excursions, the first of which
took place last May.
It was the Department of
Recreation andPark Adminis
tration at the University,
however, which spearheaded
the program initially. Karen
Hancock, part-time director of
the Council on Aging, and a
candidate for a doctorate
degree in recreation, related
that the camping trip began as
the brainchild of her class in
Recreation for the Aging last
spring quarter.
"We proposed the idea to the
other three agencies, and they
agreed to finance the outing."
Karen remarked. The Athens
Recreation Dept, started the
ball rolling by contributing
$1,200. while the others res
ponded with personnel assist
ance. "Response from the
campers was so enthusiastic
that the sponsors were encour
aged to support a second trip
the following November." she
said.
KAlt KN and her classmates
coordinated the details of the
excursions, working closely
with officials such as City
Recreation Director Lonnie
Dickerson, who felt a distinct
need for such a trip. Collective
ly. they chose the Will-A-Way
recreation area as the excel
lently suited site.
"The facilities are just
superb." grinned Karen As
the name implies, the camp
was designed with handicap
ped persons in mind. It boasts
nature trails which are well-
paved and lighted, and some
say the heated cabins are
"nicer than hotels.”
As one can guess, the
activities are not so strenuous
as to pique a seasoned hiker's
imagination, hut rather are
geared to the leisurely pace of
most golden agers. The camp
ers are kept quite busy, as
thev themselves admit
• \VK ItKALLY put in a full
day." said Mrs. Gladys Strick
land. a veteran of both outings.
"Everyone got to do just what
he wanted to. and we enjoyed
every minute of it.”
Karen added that a square
dancing class from the Univer
sity appeared at the sessions of
both cam pouts to present
demonstrations and to teach
spry senior citizens the basic
steps. She emphasized how
vital student volunteers are to
adding extra zest and fresh
ideas to the get-togethers. "We
would love to have any
volunteers. Students who arc
skilled in arts and crafts, or
can play a guitar, tell them to
bring it along." she added
The ACCA has widely
publicized the trip among
groups of older citizens, hoping
to attract a larger turnout for
the trek in May. The Council
estimates costs of about $24
per camper. The Model Cities
Program pays lor this and
each camper is asked to
contribute a nominal registra
tion fee which most can afford.
TIIK ULTIMATE purpose of
these outings, as Dickerson
describes it. is helping older
citizens achieve a healthy,
meaningful and independent
life. The ACCA also feels an
acute responsibility in provid
ing assistance to the elderly,
who they believe have long
been a neglected group as far
as recreational facilities and
programs are concerned.
Registration of campers is
currently in progress. A plica
tion blanks are available from
Athens Recreation Dept, or the
Council on Aging. 230 Hull St.
Deadline for applications is
April 9, and student volunteers
who would like to lend a
helping hand should contact
Karen Hancock or Becky
Robertson. 549-0333 or 549-4333
for further information.
