Scientist seeks joint effort
WASHINGTON (UPIl — One of America's leading
planetary specialists has called for scientists of all nations
to join together in a major, 10-year effort to explore the
solar system.
Dr William H. Pickering, director of the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory at Pasadena. Calif., proposed an International
Solar System Decade modeled after other major interna
tional scientific efforts such as the International Geophysi
cal Year which focused on earth and its space environment
in the late 1950s
Since then, space exploration has made major progress
and there has been a growing interest among the scientific
community in earth's planetary neighbors and in the role
our planet has in the solar system
This interest has been sparked by recent American and
Soviet space probes to Mars, Venus. Mercury and Jupiter.

Gov. d«no\mces servate
ATLANTA IUPD — Gov. Jimmy Carter said Tuesday
the operation of the Georgia Senate is a "cancer " on the
body politic and "a disgrace" to all Georgians
Carter said he is pleased with Democrat Zell Miller's
plan for reorganizing Senate systems, if he is elected
lieutenant governor.
Miller has stated that, as president of the Senate, he
would require all Senate committee meetings to be held in
public, require bills to be called up in the order of their
appearance on the calendar, and cut the number of Senate
committees from 25 to about 15
This would strip many veteran committee chairmen of
their bill-killing powers, which they now exercise some
times by simply refusing to hold a meeting on a bill.
Savage, Miller disagree
ATLANTA tIll’ll — John Savage, Republican nominee
lor lieutenant governor, says his Democratic opponent. Zell
Miller, was out of line in endorsing a candidate for
president pro tempore of the Senate.
• It shouldn't be the position of a candidate for lieutenant
governor to take sides in any Senate races," Savage said
Monday "We've got to get away from (he deals, the secret
meetings and the power politics we've suffered from for too
long "
Miller had said earlier he would support Sen Al
Holloway for president pro tempoir Holloway is a close
friend of Democratic gubcrnal. rial nominee George

FOR GEORGIA STATE
Regents sidestep law school issue
By BETSY NEAL
Stale editor
In surprise action during last
week's meeting, the Board of
Regents again sidestepped a
decision to create a Law
School at Georgia .State Uni
versity.
The proposal which has been
before the Board of Regents
for approximately two years,
was indefinitely postponed
'until we can more accurately
determine such a school's ef
fects on the state of Georgia ",
according to Regent Mrs. Hugh
Peterson, chairperson of the
education committee that dis
cussed the proposal
During their June meeting
the Regents had refused to
consider the law’ school pro
posai because it was not listed
on the agenda
They labeled their June in
action as a “crucial policy
decision" not having anything
to do with the law school
proposal
But last week several
Regents audibly expressed
thier indecision on the law
school matter and requested
indefinite postponement due to
the unclear implications the
new school could have on
existing state law schools, and
ultimately the legal profession
in Georgia.
REGENT LEE BURGE ar
gued against postponement
saying. "This Board needs to
make a definite policy decision
now. and not keep people
hanging on the fence. We’ve
sat on this issue for two years.
Are we going to let it stretch
on and on"?
Burge was chairperson of the
four member special commit
tee assigned by the board to
study the law school proposal.
The other members. John Bell,
Lamar Plunkett and Bobby
Smith, joined with Burge in
recommending the creation of
such a school in their official
report back to the board.
Chancellor George Simpson
also recommended the creation
of the Atlanta law school in a
memo to the Board pointing
out that Atlanta is a large
commercial center with a
broad requirement for legal
training among many of the
people already working in the
city.
Simpson also stated that
Georgia State University stu
dents are comparable in ability
to students at the University
and should not be discrimin
ated against because of then-
residence or work require
ments. and the demand for law
school acceptance now far
exceeds the capacity to pro
vide such education, despite
three accredited law schools in
the state.
\N(>L*u:r issue raised b\
SimpsnWras that a law school
at Georgia State would prob
ably do much to increase the
number of black lawyers,
since blacks will more likely
be able to enroll in the night
school situation which is pro
posed.
Sen. Paul Broun of Athens
opposed the law school propos
al while addressing the
Regents, saying that there are
already three unaccredited
night law schools in the Atlan
ta area and no study has been
done on upgrading one to make
it acceptable to American Bar
Association standards.
Broun also pointed out that
the land where the new Geor
gia law school is proposed to
be built is some of the most
expensive in the nation, that
Emory may consider begin
ning another night law school,
and Walter F. George Law
School at Mercer reportedly
plans to double the size of their
freshman class in the next five
years.
State Rep. Chappell Mat
thews of the University System
committee of the Georgia
House also spoke against the
new law school, proposing in
stead that the money lx* appro
priated to medical or dentistry
education, “an area of much
more concern and need in the
state at present "
ON THE SUBJECT of up
grading one of the existing
unaccredited night law schools
in Atlanta, Verlin Moore, dean
of Woodrow Wilson College of
Law said. "To qualify as an
American Bar Association

would need live full-time pro
fessors and extended library
facilities.
At present all of our profes
sors are part-time instructors
they are well qualified, but
most of them practice law
concurrently. Most of our stu
dents are older businessmen
who need the law education."
Moore said, "and we try to
keep our tuition down to the
level they can afford. We could
probably become A B A. ac
credited very quickly if we
raised our tuition costs."
Graduates of Woodrow Wil
son are eligible to take the bar
exam in Georiga. but are not
eligible to take it in any other
state, due to the school's lack
of A B A. accreditation.
Moore confirmed that he had
never been approached about
the possibility of becoming
state subsidized and accredit
ed.
Simpson, with the concept
that a (ia. State Law program
would cut funds for a Univer
sity law program disagrees.
"A law school at Georgia
• State* will not in itself affect
funding of the University's law
program. In our scheme of
things increased students are
funded by state appropriations.
The President of Georgia State
can initiate the school in the
normal budget process. Some
help can be provided for li
brary holdings. Georgia State
can house the law program for
a number of years without an
additional building becoming
necessary. The funding level at
the University is determined
by the general financial level
of funding ol the law school by
that of the University."
Looking ahead, lunds will be
added for the University's pro
gram. in part at University
President Fred Davison’s dis
cretion. and in part by the
system's success in raising the
per student level of appropria
tion. lie said while recommend
ing the Georgia State law
facility.
DR. NEIL ALFORD, the
newly appointed dean of the
University Law School, said.
"1 am observing strict neutral
ity in this matter ot another
law school, especially since I
am not familiar with the level
of need for law education in
the state.
"It. of course, would very
probably adversely affect us in
financial funding, but it might
oiler an advantage in that we
could possibly accept more out
of stale students." Alford add
ed.
The Georgia Bar Association
also did a stud> on the need for
and tlw* implications of another
law school in Georgia and
concluded that no decision on
the school should be made at
the present time, since so
many (actors could change in
the state
Instead the bar association
study concluded that the wisest
would be for the Board of
Rc»gents lo wait until the
several national studies on law
programs and the legal profes
sion in the United States are
completed before reaching
their decision.
"These studies promise to
provide crucial information
that could directly affect the
decision you are making." said
Cubbage Snow, president of the
Georgia Bar Association, while
addressing the Regents.
