Restoration of the old Frank
lin Hotel building in downtown
Athens will be one of the
priority projects of the newly
established Athens-Clarke
County Bicentennial Commis
sion according to Jim New
man, chairperson of the Com
mission.
“We're investigating ways to
preserve the building,” New
man said. “It’s a very historic
place.”
Newman emphasized how
ever that the Commission was
in the “very early planning
stages" and no definite plan of
action had been established.
The first meeting of the
commission was held in early
Sept
NEWMAN WAS elected
chairperson, while Louis Grif-
feth. Dean of University Rela
tions. and Leonora Cave were
selected as vice-chairpersons.
Secretary-treasurer will be
Allen Stephenson.
“The Commission will try to
follow the national goals of the
bicentennial celebration,”
Newman said “to improve the
quality of life in America.”
Newman hopes to involved
as many people as possible in
the bicentennial plans
“People are what really
count in this,” he said “and the
involvement of the community
is more important than the
amount of money we spend.”
BUDGET PLANS have not
been drawn up yet. according
to Newman, who says the
Commission has not deter
mined “the how or how much”
of raising money yet.
They do plan to coordinate
their efforts with the state,
however, and look at what
other cities in Georgia are
planning
“We had a lot of suggestions
for projects at the first meet
ing.” Newman said.
Suggestions included envi
ronmental clean up. a civic
sculpture, a greenway on the
Oconee River, a parade, many
suggestions for renovation of
downtown Athens and other
celebrations.
There’s a tremendous
amount of potential in Athens,"
Newman said “from which the
community can draw.”
HE CITED University facili
ties such as the departments of
history, music, art and drama
and the stadium and coliseum
as possible aids in the bicen
tennial celebration.
“It's going to take a lot of
organization and coordina
tion,” Newman said

Sales for the University year
book. on a total subscription
basis for the first time since
1927, are not as high as he
; I-expected them to be by this
I time, David Smith, Pandora
•l editor, said.
!• Only 200 subscriptions were
!• sold during the summer, but
Smith expects the sales to pick
up soon He added that the
• reason for the low number of
summer sales was a delay in
mailing information about
I yearbook subscriptions to
•l freshmen who came to campus
•* for summer orientation
!• Many of the freshmen
• expressed a desire to purchase
subscriptions and said they
would do so when they return
; ed to school, according to
Smith He hopes Pandora sales
will reach at least 3000.
#. Features to Ik* added to the
Jtbook this year are a four-color
••cover and a 16 page supple-

'last year’s book
' Another change in the year
book involves student pictures.

County Commissioner said.
Last May. U S. District Court
Judge Wilbur Owens issued a
temporary injunction against
the Clarke County Jail due to
the poor and unsanitary condi
tions in the jail.
On Aug. 23. he issued his
final order in response to a suit
filed by the Community Law
Project, a group of former
inmates of the county jail, with
Ed Augustine as their attorney.
HIS ORDER called for better
heating-cooling equipment, a
day room for inmates, isolation
cells, visitation facilities and
schedule, telephone and usage
schedule, nutritionist planned
meals, recreation material,
new elevators and smoke and
fire detection equipment as
well as having the jail fire
proofed.
The Judge's orders also call
ed for a number of administra
tion changes in the jail includ
ing the stipulation that not
more than 45 inmates can be
housed in the jail at any one
time except in cases that
severely affect the public's
safety and then the court must
be notified.
Owens also ordered that
there be a two man staff on
jail duty at all times, including
a female jailer if women are
jailed.
In order to comply with the
judge’s ruling in this respect,
the board of commissioners
voted Sept. 11 to allow the
sheriff’s department to hire
five more deputies. The sheriff
had requested 40 additional
deputies to meet the judge’s
ruling, de la Perriere said.
The total cost of the renova
tion project is estimated to be
$175,000 to $200,000
De la Perriere. in the Sept.
11 meeting of the board of
commissioners, suggested that
the jail be put under the
authority of a professional
warden rather than entrusted
to the present sheriff. Tommy
Huff
“If the commission is respon
sible for the budget, then the
sheriff, if he can’t administer
the jail properly should trans
fer his responsibility to some
one who can get the job done,”
the commissioner said
Clarke to use voting
machines on Nov.5
Voters in three precincts in Clarke County will have the
opportunity to use voting machines in the county for the first
lime when they go to the polls to elect Georgia’s next
governor on Nov. 5.
One of the precincts in which the machines will be located
will he The Gaines School District, according to Clarke County
Registrar Fran Strickland. About eight machines are to be
placed at 1899 Gaines Community Center
The other 14 machines are to be distributed between two
other polling places, yet to be determined, according to the
number of voters in the precincts. There will be a machine for
every 500 voters, according to Clarke County Ordinary Ruby
Hartman.
She said the county will advertise for bids on the machines
Sept 20 and 27
According to Strickland, the machines usually rent for about
$400 each and sell for about $2000 each She said the county
will probably rent the machines for the November election,
and l! e county commissioners will decide whether or not to
buy the machines later.
Voters who are not in the Gaines School Precinct or in the
other two precincts to be chosen will continue to vote by paper
ballot
The machines are the first of their kind to be used in Clarke
County, according to Hartman She said another type of
machine. Vole-O-Matic. was used once about 10 years ago but
was not successful
