Clements has
fiddle power
By WILLIAM HAINES
Vassar Clements, the pre
mier fiddler whose career took
a welcomed upswing after
“Will The Circle Be Unbro
ken?" far surpassed the
crowd's expectations; he's at
his peak in front of an audience
Clements is what you'd call a
gentleman’s gentleman His
easy-going personality and en
thusiasm belie the length and
obscurity of his career. Cle
ments, however, is finally be
ginning to earn recognition for
what his peers (Roy Acuff, Bill
Monroe, Earl Scruggs, etc.)
have always known: he is one
of the best fiddle players the
music industry has encoun
tered, be it session work or
solo performances.
FROM THE opening chord of
Clements’ fiddle you could feel
the energy pouring from the
stage. The Coliseum crowd
stood for Vassar’s entire two-
hour set.
Clements opened the show by
jamming with the rest of his
band. He is extremely adept at
piecing together fiddle runs.
The sound never comes out
quite the same, it is always
fresh and spontaneous.
Clement's group includes
Doug Jernigan (pedal steel
guitar), Bob Hoban (piano),
Mike McBride (bass). Clay
Caire (drums) and Mike Dow
lings' (guitar). Each member
of the band plays well. Clem
ents may get ahead of them
once in a while, but the group
is never far behind.
Another thing that was im
pressive was Clement’s unself
ishness. He would play His
fiddle, and then fade into the
background to let Hoban or
Dowling take the controls.
Either in or out of the spot
light, though, Clement's pre
sence was always felt.
Clements showcased several
pieces from a soon to be
released “birthday” album en
titled Superbowl.
“King of the Road," the old
Roger Miller hit, took on a jazz
feel as Hoban pounded the
Concert
Review
keyboards.
“Peking Thing” provided a
far eastern side-step. Jerry
Garcia seemed to have some
influence on the tune, as orien
tal chords bounded from the
group A slightly dizzy trio
capped off the night’s dancing
festivities with an out of step
Rockettes take-off during the
number.
I really can’t use enough
laudatory adjectives in descri
bing Clements' music. Suffice
it to say that the man is at his
peak in front of an audience.
He has already had phenome
nal success in Philadelphia,
Washington and Nashville (to
name just a few of the cities
Clements’ sound has touched);
Wednesday evening, Athens
was added to the list.
Saving energy
requires money

Registration hassle
Although the University has a system of pre-registering, many
students seem to somehow forget appointments with advisors, or
forget to make appointments with advisors at all. The result of
this absentmindedness is what inany people call “that horrible
late registration.” This quarter, as always, the lines formed at
the Coliseum full of people vainly trying to avoid first period
classes, or "that damn prof who flunked me last year."

Editor’ll note this is the
second iiisialliiienl in a iwo
part series on the activities of
(he Physical Plant over the
summer.
Although approximately three
million dollars has been bud
geted for physical plant utili
ties costs this year, the Physi
cal Plant is still experiencing
problems finding the necessary
funding to conserve energy,
according to W.K. Jordan,
physical plant director.
Because of the lack of fund
ing, the emphasis this year will
be on minor improvements in
the physical plant energy sys
tem, rather than on an overall
program.
Among the project planned
to result in energy savings are
a chill water loop for Candler,
Moore and Meigs which would
provide a substantial savings,
Jordan said.
A campus-wide control sys
tem along the same line for
heating and air-conditioning
every building in the Univer
sity would simplify the energy
problem greatly, according to
Jordan.
Open gov t needed' - Mack
SGA cabinet has
eight vacancies
Editor’s note: This is the
second in a three part series
presenting biographical pro
files of the three candidates for
mayor of Athens.

Citv editor
Eight vacancies presently
exist in the Student Govern
ment Association (SGA) cabi
net and need to be filled,
according to Jodie O’Connell,
SGA president.
O’Connell said several of the
vacancies were left by students
giving up the positions and
some had never been filled.
Ministerial positions open in
clude minister to south cam
pus, minister to student servi
ces and minister to athletics.
Also open are minister to
student affairs, minister to
freshmen, and minister to or
ganizations.
Minister to alumni relations
and minister to environment
and planning need to be filled
as well.
The positions are open to any
student interested. O'Connell
said He encourages students
to call or visit the SGA offices
in Memorial and set up an
interview for the positions
The ministerial poisitons are
not paid, he said.
The entire cabinet, which
number over 60, will meet
about three times this quarter,
according to O’Connell, and
whenever other meetings are
necessary.
Also, the cabinet is divided
into five catagories and O’Con
nell estimates that members of
each category will meet week
ly
SGA is also looking for
students to fill positions on two
committees.
Openings are available on
the SGA Study Committee and
the Committee for a new
student union.
Charles Mack, the Indepen
dent candidate for M-yor, of
fers a platform that calls for
elected boards, specifically an
elected school board, a public
safety commissioner, and open
sessions of council.
In drafting the fiscal budget,
Mack advocates making the
process open to all members of
council from beginning to end.
The proposed budget with allo
cated funds would have to be
approved by both mayor and
council.
Another major point of
Mack’s platform is his support
for consolidation of city and
county governments. "There
should be a 100 per cent effort
at consolidation, such as elim
inating three police forces, and
many of the present problems
would therefore be solved,”
Mack said.
Mack explained most of the
candidates seem to be "selling
the community short in talking
about consolidation and
crime.” He said the candidates
in favor of consolidation hit on
only one or two points, usually
the elimination of two of the
police forces. Mack believes
while it would not be the total
solution, consolidation would
bring about a decrease in
crime.
"The Athens police depart
ment needs applied technology
in dealing with the problem of
crime,” Mack said. “Criminals
are more sophisticated and
educated now whereas the
police force remains as it was
years ago," he asserted.
He calls for fingerprint, poly
graph and record tracking
experts to be employed by the
department.
Mack believes past adminis
trations have failed to deal
with the race problem ade
quately, as evidenced by the
fact there are no blacks in the
present city government in
high level management. He
said the myth “if a black man
is elected the blacks are trying
to take over" needs to be
destroyed.
He proposes a quota system
giving priority to minorities in
filling job vacancies so em
ployment in city government
would reflect various segments

"Some other universities are
doing this and are getting
savings of up to 25 per cent,”
he added. “And with the pro
gram we already have, we
have gained savings of 18 to 20
per cent on our utility costs.”
A system like that, Jordan
said, would cost from $750 to
$800 thousand Step one alone
would cost $450,000. "But we
jut don't have the money for
something like that now," he
added, "so we can’t spend it.”
“Although we're awaiting
funding for projects like the
Candler. Hall chiller,” Jordan
said, “the only way we can
save energy is by spending
dollars."
"The main problem in ener
gy is finding the funding You
have to spend today’s dollar to
realize a saving tomorrow,”
Jordan stated.
Jordan said the cost of
utilities will depend on factors
such as the de regulation of
natural gas costs, this winter.
“We haven’t had a severe
winter for the last two or three
years," Jordan said. “In fact,
last year, we were able to stay
on natural gas almost the
whole time."

WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGEr
2nd Psalm and Acts 4:25
CONCERNING LAW AND ORDER!
HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD IN
PROVERBS 23:13, 4
"WITHHOLD NOT CORRECTION FROM THE
CHILD; FOR IF THOU BEATEST HIM WITH THE
ROD, HE SHALL NOT DIE, THOU SHALT BEAT HIM
WITH THE ROD AND DELIVER HIS SOUL FROM
HELL!”
again, hear the word of the lord being the first
recorded spoken by jesus Christ after his bapUsm by
john baptist-Matthew and Luke 4:4—“MAN SHALL
NOT LIVE,BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY
WORD THAt PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH
OF GOD."
AND ANOTHER AGAIN, HEAR THE WORD OF
THE LORD IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 12 (12,5
etc.)—did you never read and consider it, “HAVE YE
FORGOTTEN THE EXHORTATION WHICH
SPEAKETH UNTO YOU AS CHILDREN, MY SON
DESPISE NOT THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD
NOR FAINT WHEN THOU ART REBUKED OF HIM-
FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTEN+
ETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE
RECEIVETH. IF YE ENDURE CHASTENING, GOD
DEALETH WITH YOU AS WITH SONS: FOR WHAT
SON IS HE WHOM THE FATHER CHASTENETH
NOT? BUT IF YE BE WITHOUT CHASTISEMENT
WHEREOF ALL ARE PARTAKERS, THEN ARE YE
“BASTARDS," AND NOT SONS!"
Is not the implication above very clear and plain
that neglect of punishment of evil will result in death
and hell? Humanly speaking of recent years and today
are we not experiencing DEATH AND HELL?”
Here is a story and incident observed and
experienced by the writer many years ago. There was
anarchy and lawlessness in a boys’ school of about
midle age teens. For the most part is showed up in
only one manner: the shooting of rubbers. For the
most part the ammunition was spit-balls, but the zeal
of some of the law breakers and anarchists caused
them to begin shooting little wire staples which would
have knocked out an eye or done other serious body
injury One boy fixed up for his rubber-gun a large
wad of paper, soacked it a long time in his spit, aimed
at another boy’s cheek and fired. Alas Alas! Poor
marksmanship! The target was missed and instead of
the cheeck a hit was made on a big canvas picture
hanging on the wall—the picture cried out like a pistol
shot! The teacher seemed to know the guilty party.
Asked him if he tit it and on admitting guilt was
Another oy was sent out to the "bushes" to get some
’Tods" or sticks. The had boy was “Beaten with the
Rod" while the whole school looked on—God’s orders
were carried out; all saw it, one boy felt it—
Can you guess the result? This anarchy and
lawlessness was broken up. Not only the boy that was
whipped publicly stopped shooting rubbers, but all the
others, spitballs quit flying about and wire staples that
might have knocked out eyes or given a life injury. We
consider that in plain and unvarnished language God
Almighty said in Proberbs 23:13 14 -BEAT THF
HELL OUT OF HIM WITH A STICK!" Physically and
humanly speaking the "hell” in this instance as a
result of the disobedience and anarchy was the danger
of loss of eyes or other serious injury. Thank God that
Teacher obeyed The Word of God found in Pitverbs
23:13,14:"WITHHOLD NOT CORRECTION FROM
THE CHILD: FOR IF THOU BEATEST HIM WITH
THE ROD, HE SHALL NOT DIE, AND ELIVER HIS
SOULD FROM HELL."
HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD TO THE FIRST
CREATED MAN "OBEY, OR DIE! PERISH! OR TO
BREAK HIS COMMAND DOWN IN MORE DETAII
THE ALMIGHTY SAID TO HIS CREATURES BEAT
HIM WITH THE ROD AND DELIVER HIS SOULD
FROM HELL YOU CAN GIVE HIM FORTY
