The Red and Black, Thursday. April 3, 1975
IN PRESS CONFERENCE
Nunn, Talmadge
confess concern
By TIM MCBRAYER
Both of Georgia’s United
States Senators are optimistic
about the future of the U.S.,
but both are worried about the
confidence which the American
people have in government
leaders and the future.
U S. Senators Herman Tal-
madge and Sam Nunn appear
ed Monday evening on "Press
Conference,” a news and pub
lic affairs program of Atlanta
television station WTCG.
Most questions from report
ers centered around the eco
nomic problems of the country,
the conditions of Southeast
Asia, and the energy problems
of the U S.
Talmadge placed main em
phasis on signs ■ which show
that an economic upturn might
be in effect such as declining
interest rates, an increased
inflow into savings, and a
decline in inventories
The senior senator from
Georgia expressed doubt con
cerning the tax bill which was
signed into law on Mar. 29 by
President Ford. While saying
that good arguments can be
presented on both sides of the
issue, Talmadge said he reluc
tantly supported the bill.
Nunn, however, did not sup
port the bill. He cited predic
tions that the federal deficit
could reach $122 billion this
year and the failure of the 1971
tax cut to stem inflation and
unemployment as reasons for
not supporting the present tax
legislation.
Nunn stated that the prob
lems which the U.S. is facing
are "nothing the confidence of
the American people can't
restore." And he said recovery
"depends on what the President
and the Congress do to control
deficit spending."
Both senators were against
additional military aid to South
Vietnam or Cambodia. Tal
madge said that if the $300
million the President wanted
would solve the problems he
would vote for th'S spending,
bul presently he was inclined
to believe it could not.
Nunn said the only American
aid should be in the area of
humanitarian efforts.
Describing the situation in
South Vietnam as very grim,
Nunn said that most experts
thought, until two weeks ago.
that the government of South
Vietnam could survive.
Nunn said it was not that the
South Vietnamese government
had given out of ammunition
but that the leaders of South
Vietnam had been shocked by
the refusal of Congress to give
additional aid and that South
Vietnam President Nguyen
Van Thieu had made many
grave mistakes in the last
couple of weeks.
Describing every option open
to the U.S. government as
painful, Nunn said that Ameri
ca had been lorn apart by the
situation He said U.S. leaders
should look at what is in the
best interest of the United
States. Nunn also stated that if
aid was to be given to Cambo
dia or South Vietnam it should
be decided on the floor of
Congress and not in a caucus
important to the future of the
U.S. in terms of energy inde
pendence
He said that in addition to
the finding of new sources of
energy the American people
should try to conserve energy
and he suggested that addition
al incentives be given to citi
zens for the conservation of
energy.
Nunn was asked about the
possible conflict between a
push for new sources of energy
and environmental quality. He
said that there would be con
flicts but that both interests

Bicentennial train
on nationwide tour
STANTON, Del. (UPI) —
The American Freedom Train
is rolling — packed with such
artifacts as an original copy of
the, Constitution, Hank Aaron's
baseball bat and Judy Gar
lands dress from the “Wizard
of Oz."
The red, white and blue
steam engine left Washington
Friday and will chug 17,000
miles nationwide during the
next 21 months pulling its
rolling bicentennial museum.
More than 40,000 persons
crowded into Delaware Park
Raceway Tuesday for the
train's first stop, li is believed
the first major bicentennial
project to be presented to the
public.
One policeman said the
crowd was moving through the
train's to exhibit cars at the
rate of 1800 persons an hour.
"It’s absolutely incredible,"
said Michael McManus, execu
tive vice president of the
sponsoring American Freedom
Train Foundation. "It’s one of
the most enthusiastic outbursts
I've ever seen."
The train contains a collec
tion of American memorabilia
spanning the nation’s 200-year
history and described by one
train official as “quite simply,
priceless and irreplaceable.”
The 25-car train includes 10
exhibit cars and two “show
case" cars with plate glass
sides.
The train is operated by a
nonprofit foundation set up
with an initial $5 million grant
from four corporations, Gener
al Motors, Prudential, Kraft
and Pepsi Cola.
U.S. SENATOR HERMAN TALMADGE
To be speaking here today
of the Democratic Party.
In response to questioning
concerning the energy crisis in
the United States and around
the world Sen Talmadge said
the U.S. would spend as much
as it will take to provide
enough energy for the-U.S to
be free from foreign depend
ence on energy.
Describing the blackmail
power of energy as "the most
serious threat to the U.S."
Talmadge asserted that energy
resources are vital to the
future of the U.S. and that
more is going to have to be
done — both in short and long
range terms, to make the U.S.
energy self-sufficient.
Nunn cited the Energy Re
source and Development Act
as one example of the govern
ment's desire to develop alter-
nalive sources of energy. Nunn
slated that the next two or
three years would be very
would have to be balanced. He
cited pending legislation (of
which he is a co-sponsor i
which would require economic
impact statements for new
federal projects just as envir
onmental impact studies are
presently required for new
federal projects.
On a more political note,
both senators were asked if
they were going to publicly
support former Georgia Gov.
Jimmy Carter for Preside it.
Both men said they w ire
personal friends of Carter but
they refused to make any
committments to any candi
date at this time.
Both senators predicted that
the U.S. would have to make
some hard decisions to solve
its problems and both stressed
the importance of communica
tion between government lead
ers like themselves and the
citizens which they represent

"1 scream, you scream, we
all scream for ice cream," pro
claims a sign on the door to the
University's Dairy Store. And
inside the store there are
enough flavors of ice cream to
keep anybody from screaming.
Not only does the Dairy
Store sell ice cream, but they
also sell milk, yogurt, cottage
cheese, chocolate milk, salad
dressing, sour cream, sherbert.
punch, orange juice and whip
ping cream The dairy goods
are produced in the Univer
sity's creamery, located direct
ly behind the store.
The creamery fulfills several
purposes, according to S. J.
Speck, associate professor and
manager of the Dairy Store. It
provides instructional facilities
for dairy science students
where conditions can be simu
lated to what actually happens
in the dairy industry and
serves as an outlet for the milk
produced in the dairy farms,
he said.
It also enables students to do
research to find quicker,
cheaper methods of manufac
turing dairy products. Current
ly one student. Barry Ray, is
trying to shorten the lengthy
six and a half hours processing
time required for one vat of
cottage cheese. He is also
trying to find a way to increase-
the yield of milk in cottage
cheese production Another
student, Cindy Lentern, is
working on replacing some of
the butter fats in sour cream
with vegetable fats. Speck
said.
Although the creamery is
run by a regular crew, stu
dents have access to the facili
ties to do projects. For exam
ple, the students in Speck's ice
cream course have to make
their own ice cream at the end
of the quarter. A lot of mathe
matics are involved in making
ice cream because it is crucial
to have the correct proportions
of cream, sugar, and milk.
Speck said.
Students have also come up
with their own flavors such as
peanut butter ripple and coffee
ice cream with fudge ripple, he
said.
Students can also experiment
with yogurt and various fla
vors. such as honey yogurt.
Frozen yogurt, which is much
like sherbert, is one of the new
products that the University
creamery has produced. Speck
said.
Although the store manage
ment does not wish to become
involved in any cut throat com
petition with the Athens stores
they feel that the enticement of
slightly reduced prices is ne
cessary to draw students and
faculty to the store. Speck
said. Profit is not a key factor
in determining prices of the
store's products because it is
supported by government
funds. Prices are scaled ac
cording to the local store's
prices. Few townspeople fre
quent the store, possibly due to
the poor parking facilities, he
said.
The creamery turns out
about 500 gallons of ice cream
per week. The mixture is made
on Mondays and then frozen
for three days. Some 4000 to
5000 gallons of milk are also
processed each week.
The Dairy Store supplies the
University's dining halls, inclu
ding Bolton, Snelling and the
Bulldog Room, as well as some
of the fraternity and sorority
houses.
