UGA council reps say
old wounds may open
By RON GRIZZLE
Assistant news editor
Some faculty representatives to the
1973-74 University Council say thai they
expect old faculty-administration wounds
to be opened when the council convenes
in early December.
Several of the more recently elected
members of the University Council say
that the majority of faculty around their
departments is exercising a "wait and
see" attitude this fall in reference to
possible actions to take concerning
policies toward current administration
officials.
Important, too, in the thinking of some
of the council members is the
faculty-dean controversy in the School of
Journalism According to one newly-
elected member of the council, what
happens between Journalism School
Dean Warren K Agee and his faculty to
solve their differences in opinion about
administration policies will be of vital
concern to the rest of the University
faculty.
THE FACULTY members in the School
of Journalism are now in the process of
studying recommendations of an ad hoc
committee about their dispute w ith Agee.
The dean has held several meetings with
his sequence heads in recent weeks in an
effort to thrash out any differences of
opinion concerning promotions and other
administrative procedures.
One North Campus member of the
University Council told The Red and
Black that the faculty in his department
is “interested to see what type of attitude
the administration takes in regard to
requests.”
"We want to see if he takes a
conciliatory or dictatorial attitude toward
us when we approach him with any
situation,” said Dr. Daniel Folitoske of
the music department.
Referring to the President’s letter to
the faculty, Politoske commented, "It
said some nice things, but nothing really
substantial.”
ANOTHER COUNCIL representative
said of the policy changes in the letter.
"If President Davison says he's going to
institute changes, you’ve got to give him
a chance to do that."
“The changes can be significant if they
bring about what they are supposed to
deal with," said Dr Robert Bowen,
council representative of the health and
physical education department.
Bowen also commented, "There is
change in the air. I believe Dr. Davison
is aware of this and will be responsive to
any responsible change
"Certainly there is evidence that
people are going to speak their feelings
more freely than in the past." Bowen
said.
Several other faculty members voiced
a different opinion about the President’s
letter. One faculty member in the
English department, who requested that
he remain anonymous, said, "The
President’s letter discourages a solution
to our problems because he merely
appoints committees when he thinks
something needs attention.”
"But, those committees often do not
address themselves to the immediate
problems at hand," the same faculty
member added

The Clarke County Commission called
a Nov 27 referendum on a proposed joint
city-county airport expansion project
Tuesday night
Voters need to indicate to commission
ers whether they should go ahead and
buy the additional 500 acres of land
needed for the $7 million airport at $1,260
an acre
Commissioner Jim Da La Perriere
described the airport proposal as "an
excellent business proposition" after the
three man board voted unanimously to
hold the referendum
Most of the money needed for the 1,000
acre airport to be located north of
present Ben Epps Field between Hull and
Old Elberton Roads comes from state
and federal funds said Da La Perriere
Till COUNTY has already lost out on
an option that would have allowed
purchase of the land at a substantially
lower cost, and the referendum comes
just eight days before that option
completely runs out.
County Attorney Ray Nicholson noted
the Nov 27 date "was the earliest we
can work with" because state law
requires 30 days of advertising before .,
referendum
The Commissioners passed a second
resolution later urged by Commissioner
George Bullock that vowed money from
the sale of the present Ben Epps airport
will be used for bond retirement.
In other commission business. Nichoi
son turned over a new comprehensive
liquor ordinance tor county approval
providing for mixed sales.
THE NEW ORDINANCE, he noted
consolidates a provision allowing the sale
of mixed drinks with two present
ordinances providing for packaged sales
and serving beer and wine
Though Nicolson claimed the new
ordinance leaves older regulations
"basically unchanged," the proposed
requirements would up licensing fees
ranging to $3,000 and extend operating
hours to 1 a m
Lounges are also classified differently
in the proposal which the commissioners
may act on later next month, conflictii
with city ordinances that growi
restaurants and lounges together. Loun
ges would have to pay 52.000 and
restaurants $1,000 for a county license

University-wide scene. I cannot make a

concerned with Davison's implementation
of the guidelines outlined in his recent
letter.
Dr W T. Blackstone of the department
of philosophy and religion said that
stronger efforts are being made this fall

Students
participate
in flu test
By BUDDY W ALLER
The U.S. Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare’s Center for
Disease Control, in co-operation with
University Health Services, will conduct
a study of an experimental influenza
vaccine here on Oct. 29.
Approximately 600 students will take
part in the first large-scale test of the
vaccine in this country.
Although tested extensively in both
Europe and Australia, the vaccine cannot
reach the American market solely on the
basis of evidence from abroad.
COMPOSED OF live influenza (or
London flu) virus, the vaccine comes in
the form of nose drops rather than the
familiar injection type*.
Participants will give a blood sample
before receiving the vaccine Then, two
weeks later, they will receive a booster
dose and give another blood sample
Finally, on Nov. 27, they will give
another blood sample, without receiving
an additional dosage.
In order to take part in the experiment,
a student must be in good health.
Most of the experimental group will
consist of students in the Schools of
Pharmacy and Veterinary Medicine, who
have already been contacted by letter.
Drs. Robert J. Rubin and Gary R. Noble
of CDC will speak at both schools
tomorrow in hopes of soliciting additional
volunteers.
ONE SUBGROUP of the experiment,
involving 100 married student couples
will undergo intensive study Having
made an effort to contact all residents of
Married Housing, both doctors will be
stationed at the Family Housing
Committee Meeting Room from 10 a m
to 5:30 p m. on Monday for those seeking
additional information
Speaking of the often disastrous effects
of the disease. Dr Rubin said. "Flu is the
only infectious disease that can cause a
high mortality rate Last year, 6,000
Americans, over and above the expected
level, died from influenza and pneumonia
"During the 1968-69 epidemic, flu
caused an economic loss of $3.2 billion

Advisory board, faculty
to discuss J-school
By GAYLE PEEPLES
Associate news editor
Tomorrow, the Journalism Advisory -
Board will hold its first bi-annual
meeting since the Journalism School
faculty voted "no confidence" in Dean
Warren K. Agee last spring
The 18-member board will convene at
9:30 a m. in the Georgia Center for
Continuing Education and is expected to
focus its attention on the school’s
administration-faculty problems as well
as the possibility of improving communi
cations between the board and faculty.
FOR THE FIRST time since the board
was organized, members will have the
opportunity to meet with faculty
representatives from each of the three
journalism sequences. This move came
after the sequences requested that Agee
and board President Jasper Dorsey set
aside time specifically for this purpose.
Several of the faculty members stated
that whatever decisions are reached by
the board, its official capacity is mainly
an advisory one The 18 members are
chosen by President Fred Davison on
recommendation from Agee and the
sequence heads.
One professor stated. "It's a comple
mentary board set up to advise us about
broad happenings in media They offer
suggestions for improving policies and
changing the curriculum "
He added that the members represent
all phases of professional media, and
many are former alumni.
WHEN Ml ERIE!) as to their outlook
for these sessions, several faculty
members expressed the need for
sequences to consult with the board One
instructor, who chose to remain
unidentified, said that the faculty wanted
"more contact with the Advisory Board
so they could understand the problems of
the school."
He said he felt sure the topic of Agee's
relationship with the faculty members
would come forth in these sessions.
"We will probably discuss other
problems of the J-school, such as
promotions, scholarships and hiring of
additional staff members," he stated
Although the general consensus of
other instructors was that last spring's
incidents would be discussed, faculty
members denied that they had appointed
a spokesman for their individual groups
RATHER. ONE PROFESSOR stated
that he saw the sessions as "a period of
free interchange where we can ask them
questions, and the board can ask us any
they might have.”
When asked to comment on the
forthcoming meeting. Dorsey confirmed
that the board will spend part of the
morning session discussing the report
submitted by the J-school's special ad
hoc committee
This committee was formed this
summer to "seek to restore confidence in
the dean of the Journalism School and to
resolve internal problems "
The committee's report has been
accepted by the faculty "for further
study," and copies were sent to Advisory
Board members
Dorsey added that three students have
been invited to sit in on the sessions, not
as official board representatives, but as
“full and free participants "
