No additional warrants
to be issued—Kassinaer
date:.
By MIKE BEALL
and ED KIMBLE
The 17 warrants issued Saturday for
the arrest of streakers are the only ones
which will be issued, according to Ed
Kassinger, director of Public Safety.
"No more warrants are contemplated
now," he said.
Of the 17 alleged streakers against
whom charges have, been made, none
were arrested as a result of Thursday
night s mass streak from Myers Quad
rangle to Reed Quadrangle, Kassinger
said
"Nobody is being made a scapegoat,”
Kassinger added "We did what we could
under a very difficult situation.”
T1IE FIVE parachutists who landed

Pres, can veto
dorm changes
By BUDDY WALLER
Whether University President Fred C.
Davison will veto the University Council's
recently proposed elimination of open
house restrictions and required freshman
residency in the dormitories remains
unknown
According to University statutes, howe
ver, Davison could override the council's
proposal, since his "decisions in all
matters relating to University police...
shall be final; provided, however, that
any person or organization may appeal
such decision to the Board of Regents by
letter through appropriate University
administrative channels.”
DAVISON WAS out of town Tuesday
and has not yet publically expressed his
views on the proposal.
Requesting "that President Davison,
before taking action, give consideration
to the academic implications of these
proposals, the Academic Affairs Advi
sory Committee, composed of the various
deans of the University's schools and
colleges, met with Davison Monday
Dean John C. Stephens Jr. of the
College of Arts and Sciences helped to
draft the Committee's statement
Stephens said, "If there are academic
implications, I would like to hear other's
notions and feelings If there are matters
of educational importance, I am not only
willing but eager to hear them "
Among the "academic implications"
most often cited by the committee
members as pertinent to Davison’s
eventual decision were studies which
show freshman dormitory residents per
form better scholastically than off-cam-
pus students
Dean J.A. Williams of the College of
Education said that the initial year of
dorm living "provides for a better
transition from high school to college
than turning them (freshman) loose in
the community " He also stated his
belief that dormitory freshmen can
expect to achieve a higher grade point
average than non-dormitory freshmen.

With $35,000 in donations from almost
every part of the U.S., and with 35
additional pledges of $1,000 loans and
donations, representatives of the Athens-
Clarke County Heritage Foundation were
sufficiently confident last Friday to sign
a purchase contract with the owners of
the imperiled Franklin House-Athens
Hardware Co., said Bob Gair, publicity
chairman of the preservation campaign.
"It looks so good now I can almost see
the building restored,” said Gair.
However, Gair added that the preser
vation of Franklin House will not be
assured until the 35 individuals who have
pledged $1,000 apiece for the privilege of
attending a champagne party at The
Station at 8 tonight actually show up to
affirm their financial commitments
The pledged $1,000 loans will be return
ed (without interest) to the donors within
three years should the foundation ulti
mately fail in its effort to purchase
Franklin House from its local owners,
Drs John and Robert McPherson, said
Gair.
The preservation effort is grounded not
only in an appreciation of the structure's
historic worth, Gair emphasized, but also
in the foundation's conviction that the
rescue and renovation of Franklin House
will lead to a revitalization of downtown
Athens.
Home Economics said that to implement
the council's proposals might cause
students to “lose more than they would
gain."
Quinn pointed to the amount of acade
mic programming and the number of
classes which take place in the dorms as
examples of scholastic benefits which
residents receive
ALSO, QUINN said, “It does take a
while to get your feet on the ground and
it helps to have resident assistants to
serve as counsellors who can provide an
immediacy of attention" to students'
needs She added that RA’s can also help
to orient incoming students to the
campus and furnish them with informa
tion they might not obtain elsewhere
As to the council's suggested abolition
fof restrictions on open house hours.
Quinn labeled the idea “premature."
Quinn said she had served on a
committee last year that drew up a plan
to designate certain dorms as having
predetermined open house hours. Each
student could then choose which set of
hours was most attractive and then live
in that hall, with the option to move to
another hall at any time.
Currently, this system is in operation,
on an experimental basis in Morris.
Quinn said the present system whereby
each dorm votes its own set of hours
invites peer group pressure and fails to
provide for the minority's preferences
She said the experimental program has
not received an adequate testing
day and Thursday evenings were arrest
ed Monday Two Atlanta men were
arrested in the Coliseum parking lot
during the Georgia-Georgia Tech basket
ball game Thursday night One man was
arrested at the game inside the Coliseum.
Three persons have been charged for
alleged activities Wednesday night at
Reed Quadrangle Two are charged for
their alleged activities Wednesday night
on Lumpkin. Two others have been
charged for their alleged activities in the
Florida Ave. area One individual has
been charged for illegal activity Friday
night at Soule.
Kassinger explained that the Campus
Police had received a great deal of
criticism from students, faculty and the
community for not taking action against
the streakers. Since the warrants were
issued, he added, the only criticism the
police have received has been from the
Student Government Association.
SGA PRESIDENT Steve Patrick criti
cized Kassinger's actions saying, "Ed
Kassinger told us Thursday that they
would not initiate action against people
who streaked on campus Now he is
initiating action."
"One reason students don't trust ad
ministrators is that they will say one
thing and do another. How can there be
any trust?" Patrick added.
Patrick added that the SGA's present
course of action would be to make sure
that those arrested be released on bond
and receive advice about legal counsel
He said that the SGA would continue to
talk with Kassinger in an attempt to
persuade him to reconsider “his heavy-
handed action.”
The SGA will begin circulating petitions
at the beginning of spring quarter de
nouncing the Campus Police for arresting
the streakers
“We will probably have a voter regis
tration drive also," said Patrick, indica
ting that such a drive might focus public
attention on student dissatisfaction con
cerning the handling of the streaking
situation.
Patrick indicated that University ad
ministrators in high positions have been
pressuring Kassinger to take action
against the streakers.
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Fred C.
Davison refuted the allegation saying,
"There has been an awful lot of comment
but no pressure
"There's one thing that everyone has to
realize and that is that we don't have the
right to amend the law We do however
have a responsibility to protect the pub
lic's safety," Davison added
"The campus police tried to create a
climate in which no one would be hurt.
But. Kassinger has said all along that he
was collecting evidence.” he said.
SGA officials are urging all persons
who were arrested to contact their office
so that appropriate action can be taken
