THE PRESIDENT of the Interfraternity Council and
another University student were charged with criminal
trespass after being discovered inside a University
professor's office.
Kelly B Browning, president of IFC, and J. Michael
Hammond, both of 397 S. Milledge Ave., were served
warrants on June 10 sworn out by William J. Kelly,
assistant professor of economics
Kelly said the pair was apprehended Mar. 7 "around
11:30 the night before an exam.”
The case was originally scheduled to be heard Sept. 3 in
Superior Court, but has been rescheduled for later this
month
THE INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL had their books
audited this summer by the University
The audit, the first in many years for the IFC, came
following a series of rumors concerning a possible deficit in
the IFC budget
Dean of Student Louise McBee originally indicated that
the audit was "standard procedure" but it was later
learned that the audit was done at the suggestion of the
Board of Regents' office
Kelly Browning, president of the IFC, said that he was
"completely convinced that there was no mishandling of
funds, profits made by individuals or any other action that
could be construed as misuse by the IFC or the office of
Student Affairs."
However, neither McBee or Ken Reece of Internal
Auditing would support Browning's statement "because of
missing checks and lack of documentation to support the
audit.”
A STUDY RELEASED in August by AID, the
investigative agency of the Student Government Associa
tion's executive branch, uncovered use of gameroom funds
that AID director Scott McLarty termed “harmful to a
sound fiscal policy."
The funds, according to the report, were used at varying
times during the past year to cover deficits in the
University accounts of the Interfratemity Council and the
department of Cultural Affairs
The report revealed that Dr William Powell, director of
student activities, approved a $4,000 transfer to Cultural
Affairs and a $3,000 "interest free loan” to IFC. Powell
said the deficits were covered to "help out the student
groups "
Along with their investigation, AID made four recom
mendations to change the present gameroom account,
including one that asked that the "gameroom account no
longer be used as a contingency or “slush' fund.”
No action was recommended against Powell
A HIGH LEVEL ad hoc greivance committee met at
least twice this summer to investigate problems in the
University's geology department
The committee was appointed by John C. Stephens, dean
of arts and sciences, and University President Fred
Davison to investigate charges of unethical practices
against members of the geology department
The original committee was established as a result of
charges made by Dr Edward A Stanley, a geology
professor, who wrote in an interdepartmental letter that
several professors in the department had earned more than
their University salaries while teaching in an exchange
program in Brazil.
THE RICHARD B Russell Memorial Library was
dedicated during the summer with Sen Henry M. Jackson.
D Wash . Sen John Stennis. D-Miss, Sen Herman
Talmadge and Gov Jimmy Carter participating in the
ceremonies
The library was established to provide a public record of
Russell's career "The Russell papers must be ranked in
importance with presidential papers and may well be of
even more importance." said Talmadge during his visit
here.
DAVID SAVE has been named chief of the University's
public safety department Saye was named acting chief in
May to succeed William T Dean, who has become a
consultant with the International Association of Chiefs of
Police
ALFRED HOLBROOK, founder and director emeritus of
the Georgia Museum of Art. died this summer after
spending some time in a local hospital He was 99
Lamar Dodd. Regents' Professor of Art and head of the
Art Department for many years, described Holbrook as
"an incredible person, unselfish, a man of deepest loyalty
to the University."
Holbrook had been associated with the University for 29
years.
W ALTER N. DANNER. University registrar, retired this
summer after serving at the University for nearly 50 years
Danner, who served as both teacher and administrator,
was named University registrar and director of admission
in February. 1949
GltlH NDKRFAKING CEREMONIES for the Universi
ty's Botanical Garden headquarters were held this
summer The new building will lie in the center of the
293-acre garden and will house offices, laboratories,
facilities for extension-type activities, a small auditorium
and other space for research and development
BISHOP PARK was opened in July The park,
located at the site of the old Athens fairgrounds, is
providing a tremendous boost for recreational activities in
the city, according to Jeff McDonald, park manager of the
Athens Recreation Department
The Olympic size swimming pool and six tennis courts
located in the park will be available to Athens residents
and University students Among the other park features
are a multipurpose recreational building, three fields for
softball, football, soccer and other team sports and a
hard surface area for basketball and other activities.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT Association President J
Rivers Walsh was elected chairman of the influential legal
rights committee of the Student Advisory Council to the
Board of Regents during the August meeting Prior to the
meeting Walsh had considered withdrawing the University
from membership in SAC However, he said a "change in
attitude" within the organization had prevented his action
"After my first two meetings I had very seriously
considered withdrawing. " Walsh said "The motives and
actions of this organization would in many cases not have
aided the University — in fact, some of them would have
hurt"
But at the August meeting other representatives were
more open and. according to Walsh, showed an overall
"change in attitude ”
RONALD ALLEN Ridley, a 23yearold University
student, was arrested and charged with false imprisonment
of University Health Service staff members in connection
with an incident in the health services building, according
to University police officials
Ridley allegedly entered the building Monday about 11:45
p m and detained staff members until about 1:30 a m.
Tuesday when he surrendered to University police
Ridley, in possession of a 25 caliber colt and a .357
caliber magnum, "temporarily controlled people coming in
and out" of the health service building, according to
University police Cap! Mark Wallace
Charged with carrying a concealed weapon, simple
assault and carrying a pistol without a license. Ridley was
released on $15,000 bond. _
JAMES RAY. former manager of The Loser's Club in
Athens, failed to show up for court arraignments this
summer and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest
Ray, also known as Jimmy D Lyons, was indicted July 9
by the Clarke County Grand Jury on three counts of
theft-of-services and one charge of issuing bad checks
The charges stem from an earlier event this year when
Ray advertised and sold tickets to a concert by comedians
Cheech and Chong and then failed to produce the two
performers.
Library completion near;

LIBRARY ANNEX OPENS TO PUBLIC THIS QUARTER
Should tacililate library growth for a number of years
By CAROLYN TATUM
Assistant state editor
The new annex to the main
library, brand new and partial
ly open, may even make
studying more bearable.
Although that is not one of
the guarantees of the place, it
does promise to be big and
have much needed space for
books and other study materi
als. according to Warren Boes,
director of the library.
The nine-story structure,
which has more than 200,000
square feet of floor space, the
equivalent of five football
fields, was started seven years
ago. according to William Hud
son. director of campus plan
ning. "It cost the state about $5
million, but the price would
now be between $8 and $10
million," Hudson said.
The annex is an addition to
the current building, according
to Boes "It is going to serve
as the main location of materi
als. and the old building is
going to be renovated to house
the library staff, and various
special functions of the library,
such as documents, the Univer
sity Archives and Georgians,'’
Boes said.
The addition received some
criticism for the construction
even before it was occupied.
“There are only three elevators
and this may prove to be a
problem,” Donald Petty, asso
ciate director of the library,
said "Because of the size of
the building, it is going to be
very difficult to clear it in case
of an emergency.”
"The provisions for the han
dicapped are acceptable, ex
cept there is only one way for
them to get up into the building
— a loading ramp restricted
from public use." he added
"The parking lot on both
sides of the building is most
inadequate." Petty said. “I
understand it was forced by
the situation of the builing, but
I question putting it here and
designing it as an annex in
stead of a separate building
elsewhere,
"There is no adequate load
ing facility for the supplies
that are always coming in, and
there is no special parking
area for the people who are
forced to work at the library
IN BUSINESS
until midnight. It is dangerous
to have women walking across
campus that late at night
because there is no parking
place,” he added
“The building is built, but
the toughest part is moving in.
We've got to move more than a
million volumes, move some
out of storage, get the staff
relocated and get all the secur
ity worked out without any
additional increases in the size
of the staff," Boes said.
"In order to move, we must
take from our own sources,
and it’s quite a job to carry on
a major move and continue
normal operations without
spending a great deal more
money to do it," Boes said.
“We hope to be completely in
by the end of the first quarter,"
he said. "The first floor (refer
ence) opened for students last
week, and the the fourth floor
(history) is also scheduled to
open by the first day of
classes. The third floor (langu
age and literature) should be
open by mid-October," Boes
said
Petty said "the whole library
will eventually be open to the
public, with the exception of
the seventh floor, which will
remain a holding section for
unprocessed collections. The
Richard Russell archives in
the sub-basement will not be
completely open to the public
until the staff have processed
all the material, and that will
probably be about two years,”
he added.
Other floors which will soon
be open to the public include
second (fine arts), fifth (social
sciences) and sixth (research
collections) The basement will
house periodicals and micro
forms.
As far as expansion goes,
Petty said the building is large
enough to stand the library's
yearly expansion for a number
of years in the future, and thus
lack of space is not an immedi
ate concern.
“This is an especially impor
tant consideration in libraries,"
Petty said. "Our library should
acquire at least 100,000 books
and other materials per year
and double by the end of the
decade," he added
Curriculum change
By DEBORAH BU M
News editor
Beginning winter quarter,
the three-hour courses in ac
counting. management and
quantitative methods in the
business school will be conver
ted into five-hour courses, ac
cording to Dr Edward B.
Selby Jr., director of under
graduate studies for the Col
lege of Business Administra
tion.
Courses to be changed in
clude Accounting 107 (three
hours i. which becomes Ac
counting 110, a five hour
course, and Accounting 108,
which will be changed to
Accounting 111. also five hours.
TIIE TWO management
courses which will be convert
ed from three- to five-hour
courses are Management 201
and 202. which will retain the
same numerical designation
Also. QM 109 will be changed
from three to five hours As
four of these courses are
required these changes mean
an increase of eight hours for
business students, according to
Selby.
The business school has dele
ted other courses in order to
keep the 195-hour graduation
requirement.
IN ORDER to even out the
extra eight hours. QM 210 and
one free elective are being
deleted
To offer more flexibility to
the transfer students and enter
ing freshmen and to compen
sate for the deleted five hours
of credit, the business school is
eliminating the “senior divi
sion" requirements from non
business electives. Selby said,
adding that the change enhan
ces the transfer students' oppor
tunity to transfer in a wide
range of elective credits
Disabled learn
with typewriter
By JAN COLLINS
Dorothv D. Campbell, a Uni
versity education professor,
uses typewriters to teach child
ren with learning disabilities
how to read
Campbell says typewriters
help children identify and learn
letters of the alphabet more
quickly than do traditional
teaching methods And because
it s easier to type words than
to hand letter them, older child
ren can often begin composing
sentences sooner than they
might normally, she said
CAMPBELL. WHO is the
coordinator of the learning
disorders area in the education
school s program for excep
tional children, works with
about 15 children who have
learning disorders They in
elude five to seven year-olds
and children in the first through
seventh grades
“We take pre-school children
who have shown that they
might have some difficulty in
learning school subjects, al
though most of them have
normal intelligence. Campbell
said The older children are
referred from their schools "
Two to four times a week,
the children come to Aderhold

where they mee» with Camp
bell. and Lora M Cartelli, an
instructor in the college and
several education graduate stu
dents involved with the project.
“WE WORK on -language,
social and psychomotor deve
lopment with the pre-schoolers
as preliminaries to reading
and writing." Campbell said.
"Then we familiarize them
with the letters of the alphabet
The child finds the letter on th
typewriter key which matches
one on a card held in front of
him and begins copying words
that way." she continued.
With the older children, the
emphasis is on developing flu
ency in language and composi
tion. according to Campbell
They start out with copying
short sentences. Then they are
given pictures to write about
As soon as we can. we encour
age them to write about their
own experiences If there is
time, they may begin to make
up their own stories "
Campbell believes that “ev
ery learning disorder is an
expression of a language pro
blem She sa>s typing helps
children develop language
skills because "it's easier to
t>pe than to write words
Written words are much more
complex things for a child to
handle than copying geometric
designs They use the hunt-and-
peck system we call it the
scribble stage Typing is much
like pointing to the letter you
yyant
TYPING IS also an ego
boost" to children who have
lost confidence because they
have difficulty reading or ex
pressing themselves, she said
“In school, they are constantly
being made to do more of w hat
they can t do For instance,
many children are made to
repeat something 500 times
because they didn't do it
right "
Since typing simplifies read
ing and expression. Campbell
said, it helps youngsters regain
confidence and enthusiasm
“Many teachers are afraid
kids won't learn good penman
ship if the typewriter is used.
Campbell said But the oppo
site is true Some of the
children in our classes have
improved their handwriting,
even though they used the
typewriter all summer, simply
because their finger facility
has improved
“We want to make sure both
transfer students and our fresh
men get a fair shake," Selby
said, "and we’re trying to
make the changes as easy for
them as possible."
ANOTHER TENTATIVE
change, which has not been
approved by the University
yet, is an extension of the
humanities courses that busi
ness students can take.
"Transfer students have of
ten gotten credit for different
humanities courses, and our
own students have been pretty
restricted," Selby said.
He has written to William
Hays, vice president for in
struction, requesting the addi
tion of religion, music, art and
drama courses to the business
school's humanities core.
REAL EFFORTS are being
made to keep the business
school progressive, according
to Selby, who says that enroll
ment has rapidly increased
during the last few years.
Total enrollment has increa
sed 9.8 percent from fall quar
ter 1971 to fall quarter 1973,
from 2,555 to 2,805 students.
Selby is pleased with the
increase in women enrolled in
the school, up 73.3 percent in
the last five years, from 247 to
428 students
“There are real opportunities
now for women in business,”
Selby said
