Some University students are
eligible for food stamps
Under a new Food Stamp
Program begun at the Clarke
County Department of Family
and Children's Services on
July 1 "students (at least
half-time) in any accredited
school or training program"
are eligible for food stamps if
their total monthly net income
after deductions falls below a
certain limit.
Students who live in Univer
sity dormitories, however, are
not eligible for the federal
assistance because "the school
administration at the Univer
sity of Georgia prohibits the
preparation of food in the
dormitories. In this case, the
applicants should be denied
participation in the program as
residents of an institution."
according to Robert J Friel,
supervisor of the assistance
payments section of the Geor-i
gia Department of Human
Resources
Those who qualify for food
stamps may buy a limited
amount of food stamps each
month for less than half of the
face value
For instance, one student
who lived alone qualified to
purchase $46 worth of food
stamps tthe maximum month
ly allotment for a household of
one! for $18.
These stamps, which are
purchased from the First Ame
rican Bank in Athens in the
first 20 days of each month,
may be used to purchase any
edible food for human con
sumption with the exception of
imported foods other than ba
nanas, coffee, tea and cocoa.
Alcoholic beverages and tobac
co may not be purchased with
food stamps. Foods for pets
may not be purchased with
food stamps.

applied for food stamps have
been certified to receive them
said Mary Collier, director of
the Clarke County Department
of Family and Children's Ser
vices.
"The length of time between
application and certification
for receipt of stamps depends
on how long it takes the person
to provide us with the informa
tion we need to process him,”
Collier said.
She added, however, that
once all the information has
been submitted to her depart
ment. an application must be
processed within 30 days.

ON AID'S RECOMMENDATION
Powell s office making changes
By NANC Y BLAC K
Assistant news editor
Although nothing is being
done officially. Dr William
Powell, director of Student
Activities, said his office is
already implementing recom
mendations made to change
the University gameroom ac
count.
The, recommendations to re
vamp the account were made
in August by AID, the service
and investigative agency of
Student Government Associa
tion (SGA). after it was disco
vered that gameroom profits
were used to cover deficits in
the University accounts of the
Interfraternity Council and the
department of Cultural Affairs
Officially, ‘‘the recommenda
tions are still under discus
sion,’’ according to Dean of
Student Affairs Louise McBee
*‘We wanted to wait until
various officers of the Union
could meet with us before
making a final decision." she
said.
AID asked that the ‘‘game-
room account no longer be
used as a contingency or
"slush" fund, that it be bud
geted and allocated following
established University proce
dures concerning income ac
counts. that no transfers or
loans be given any student
organization through any ac
count. and that “if such trans
fers or loans are permitted to
be made, we recommend that
effective communication be e-
stablished in regards to such
matters between the Student
Activities Funds Office, the
University Business Office, the
student senate treasurer, and
the Activities Review Commit
tee."
The recommendations were
made after it was revealed
that Powell approved a $4,000
transfer to Cultural Affairs and
a $3,000 “interest free loan" to
the Interfraternity Council
Although no official action
has been taken, Powell said his
office has already begun adopt
ing the recommendations.
“The gameroom account will
no longer be used as a contin
gency fund." Powell said. “Ra
ther. the funds will be used as
a separate account for special
expenses, such as travel, equip
ment and supplies They will
be properly budgeted."
Powell indicated that his
office does not intend to make
any more loans or transfers to
student organizations “Howe
ver. the fourth recommenda
tion will allow fny office some
latitude in an emergency situa
tion." Powell stated
McBee said that no action is
planned against Powell and
that no special audit of game-
room funds is planned
However. Ken Reece, direc
tor of internal auditing, said
that Alan barber, vice-presi
dent for business and finance,
has asked him “to take a
closer look at the gameroom
fund as a part of a regular
yearly audit of student activi
ties to see if any problems
exist.’’

charges that some members of
the geology department were
involved in unethical practices.

discover any evidence of w rung
doing but said the allegations

these problems
