Drought in U.S.
may hurt economy
DENVER (UPI) - Th«>
current drought in the Western
United States could cause food
shortages and cripple the
nation's economy worse than
the Dust Bowl days of the
1930s, governors from the
affected region told Interior
Secretary Cecil Andrus Sun
day
Nebraska Gov. Jim Exon
said the drought was worse
than in 1930s because it had
spread from the Great Plains
states to the West Coast. He
predicted food shortages in the
near future unless the federal
government took steps to build
up a surplus.
"A priority of the adminis
tration should be to look at the
effects of the drought in the
next two months and look at
our food surplus as an asset
and not a liability," Exon said.
Colorado Gov. Richard D.
Lamm invited representatives
Journal
reports
sub loss
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
Russian navy journal has
published an account of the
1908 loss of the U.S. attack
submarine Scorpion in the
Atlantic so detailed that it
seems to reflect “first-class
Soviet intelligence,” Ocean
Science News reported yester
day.
On the other hand, it said, if
the article is anywhere near
accurate, and if the Pentagon
is right about improving its
detection systems, ‘‘it would
seem the U.S. Na/y has just
about closed the certain on the
Soviet submarine fleet.”
“Sout sources say. in fact,
that the Soviets would lose all
their submarines before the
U.S. lost all its surface ships in
the event of a double-ocean
naval combat,” the magazine
said.
Ocean News said the Soviet
article included a lot of
hitherto secret information
including a description of U.S.
undersea surveillance systems
that monitor the movements of
Russian submarines and that
eventually led the Navy to the
missing Scorpion.
of 18 states to the strategy
session for coping with the
drought.
“We’re faced with one of the
greatest challenges to ever hit
the West," Lamm said. "We’ve
had drought before but there
never have been so many
people affected ”
Andrus, noting the drought
was “real, immediate and
could be very devastating,”
said the governors made it
clear they want federal relief
programs before the states are
declared disaster areas.
The governors also said they
were “shocked” President
Carter was considering cutting
funds for 18 water reclamation
projects when the West was in
the midst of its worst drought
since the dust bowl days of the
1930s.
Further recommendations
were expected to be developed
at another meeting of the
governors next Sunday in
Washington, D.C., prior to the
opening of the National Gover
nor’s Conference. Andrus said
he also would recommend
President Carter appoint a
natonal drought relief coordin
ator.
Lamm said his recommenda
tion for the coordinator’s job
would be Jack Watson, secre
tary to the Cabinet and the
head of the Carter transition
team.
Jack Barnett, executive di
rector of the Western States
Water Council, said a Jan. 31
survey showed stream flow
in 11 western states at 40 to 50
per cent below normal.
“And those are optimistic
figures because they were
based on the assumption that
precipitation would be normal
from here on out,” Barnett
said. “It hasn’t been and a
record Western drought is
indicated.”
Gov. Jerry Brown, calling
the California drought “the
worst in recorded history”,
said water conservation must
be considered with energy
conservation. He recommen
ded more federal funds be
spent on research for recycling
waste water and desalination
of sea water.
Other governors said their
states needed immediate help
for farmers and ranchers who
were experiencing economic
depression before the drought.
Gov. Dayid Boren of Oklahoma
warned mortgage foreclosures
could “undermine some of our
banking institutions “unless
extensions were granted on
loans.
Propositioning of students
rare, administrators say

his parlor...beware.
By TOM BARTON
The propositioning of stu
dents by teachers at the
University is an extremely
rare occurence, according to
many deans and department
heads.
"In the 14 years that I’ve
been here, there have only
been three or four cases that
have come to my attention,”
Dr M Louise McBee, assis
tant vice president for instruc
tion, said.
Dean John Stephens of the
College of Arts and Sciences
sajd that propositioning of
students was not a problem in
his area, but added, “This is
not saying that I haven’t had
once or twice intimations of
things.
“But usually you try to look
into it and they tend to fade
away at times,” Stephens said.
ONE SUCH case of proposi
tioning did occur in the College
of Education several years
ago, but Dean Joseph Williams
refused to give any details.
“All I can say is that the
faculty member involved is no
longer here,” he said.

College of Business Adminis

Feb. 22. 1966—The University

Those were the days
Congress members
receive pay raise
WASHINGTON (UPI) When
the 535 members of Congress
returned to work Monday,
their salaries had gone up
$13,000 a year. It happened
because they did nothing to
prevent it.
The same inaction raised, by
an average of 28 per cent, the
salaries of about 2000 top-level
government officials including
Vice President Walter Mon
dale, federal judges and
members of President Carter’s
Cabinet. Pension benefits paid
to former Presidents Richard
Nixon and Gerald Ford also
increased.
The pay increase that
boosted member of Congress
from $44,600 to $57,500 has
raised anew the touchy subject
of how to compensate the
federal lawmakers and brought
the 1967 law that set up
machinery for the Feb. 20 pay
hike under harsh criticism.
Ironically, the law was
passed to extract Congress
from moral and political
dilemma of raising its own pay
but it is not being attacked as
a conflict of interest.
It authorized appointment of
a commission of private
citizens to convene for a few
months 4 every four years to
review the pay for top federal
jobs. The commission reports
to the president, who has
power to reduce, but not
increase , the recommenda
tions. The president then
submits the proposal to Con
gress and the recommendation
takes effect automatically un
less the House or Senate votes
against it within 30 days.
students. It is located on
Baxter.
McWorter Hall, designed to
house 164 students, will open in
1967. It will be used by
members of the athletic teams
during the year, and in the
summer, will accomodate con
ference and short course
participants.
Miss Brumby was associated
with Georgia education begin
ning in 1918 and served as the
University’s second dean of
women. After her retirement,
she continued to work with the
University as a French teach
er.
McWhorter was one of
Georgia’s most outstanding
athletes, playing on the All-
Southern and All-American
football teams. After his
college days he became a
professor of law at the
University and later served as
mayor of Athens. He was an
active member of the Unver-
sity Athletic Board until his
death in 1960.
Feb. 23. 1972—The old
Southern Railway depot, with a
little touching up, will soon
become The Station, a dining
and entertainment complex
featuring a lush Victorian
atmosphere.
According from Lee Eptig,
who originated the idea of
renovating the depot. The
tainment and various specialty
shops.
There is an institution on this
campus which is a disgrace to
the medical profession. The
infirmary is unusually short
staffed, so much so that a
person may miss half a day’s
classes trying to procure an
excuse for illness. It is
necessary to plan ahead in
order to be sick at a
convenient hour because doc
tors are off duty at 5 p.m.

and kidney stones, you rush to
the infirmary, which in our
opinion is little more than an
advertisement for aspirin and
a dispensory for throat lozen

their beds while actually they
may be screaming their heads

I960
Feb. 21, 1957—Demosthenian
President Ben Patterson
stormed out of the all-night
debate Wednesday night en
raged over the presence of
three women.
The 24-hour affair ended at 7
am. Thursday, placing a
campus that had heard argu
ments, motions and hangings
in effigy in calm silence.
The night had been stormy
for members of the society.
Three women, in violation of
the Demosthenian Constitution,
appeared in the debate hall
and refused to leave.
After repeated requests for
the exit of women, and after a
bit of hedging by the sergeant-
at-arms, Patterson walked out
in a huff. The unidentified
women followed shortly.
one complaint of a student
being propositioned by a
teacher in his eight years at
the University, and that one
came after the faculty member
involved had already left.
“I listened to the complaint
and I still couldn't figure out
why she waited such a long
time before complaining.” he
said.
Several students have repor
ted being propositioned by
teachers or of knowing some
one who was propositioned,
usually for grade considera
tions
ONE SUCH student appar
ently ended up getting a D for
a course in which she did the
“make-up” work requested by
her professor.
But according to Dean
Flewellen, it is difficult to
determine the true situation,
and most often it is a case of
one person's word against
another’s.
“You can never be sure that
some unsophisticated person
might be trying to misrepre
sent the situation,” Flewellen
said
Students who believe that
they may have been proposi
tioned by their teacher could
be misconstruing friendliness.
McBee said.
She did admit, however, that
there may have been some
instances when the student
“may have been taken advan
tage of” and would advise the
student involved to take the
complaint to the department
head, who would then take the
case to the dean
MOST DEANS said that if
they received such a com
plaint, they would handle it
with a face-to-face confronta
tion between the accused and
the accuser.
Dean Scott Cutlip of the
School of Journalism recalled
a recent case at the journalism
school of the University of
Minnesota where a professor
was charged with proposition
ing a student.
In the case, a hearing was
held and the professor was
suspended until he received
psychiatric care. He is now
back teaching.
“But in this case,” Cutlip
said, "the director of journal
ism did not act quickly enough,
and the situation got worse "
While the University has no
set rules or codes under which
a teacher can be fired for the
propositioning of a student, a
policy statement issued by. the
Board of Regents in 1975 listed
the charges that can be
brought against a faculty
member which can result in
his or her dismissal .
AMONG THE categories
under which a faculty member
could be released for p r oposi-
tioning a student are convic
tion or admission of guilt of a
felony or of a crime involving
moral turpitude. "Physical or
mental incompetency.” and
‘‘such other grounds for
dismissal as may be specifi
ed."
/ti.l
Stephens said that such'^i
situation is almost like a courp
trial, often with counsel and-

“This is a’ situation whlcL
can affect the career of Me'

Nichols says Georgia Court will allow
cameras, tape recorders in chamber
ATLANTA (UPI) - Chief
Justice J.E. Nichols, pleading
to “move the legal system of
Georgia into the 20th century,”
said Monday the Supreme
Court will experiment with
allowng cameras and tape
recorders in its white marble
chamber
In the first “State of the
Judiciary” address at a joint
legislative session, Nichols also
called for repeal of the
warrant fees from which
Justices of the Peace earn
their livings and proposed
removing armed robbery from
Georgia’s capital punishment
law
Nichols said the state needs
more judges to relieve crowd
ed dockets, and proposed
separating a three-judge panel
of the Court of Appeals to
handle non-capital criminal
appeals
The big surprise, however,
was his proposal that Georgia
copy Colorado, Alabama and
Washington state in permitting
some use of cameras, tele
vision tapes and audio recor
ders in the appellate courts.
Nichols said coverage could
be expanded to the trail courts
if an advisory committee of
reporters, lawyers and judges
could come up with a way of
informing the public without
getting in the way of trial
proceedings.
“The Supreme Court is
reviewing every reasonable
alternative to move the legal
system of Georgia into the 20th
century,” said Nichols. “The
Supreme Court feels the
adversary system needs ex
posure to be understood."
Nichols said when both sides
of an appeal agree, the
Supreme Court will admit
cameras to its chamber for
oral arguments of cases
“The court proposes to begin
slowly and carefully to evalu
ate the availability of sophis
ticated eqiupment and techni
ques under procedures which
will not degrade the court or
interfere with the achieve
ments of a fair trial,” he said.
Nichols said the court will
hold a special hearing soon to
hear arguments for and
against visual and sound
coverage, but indicated his
mind is made up in favor of
admitting the cameras and
microphones.
"A courtroom that is closed
to part of the news media
limits the opportunity of the
public to be informed about
court proceedings and is a
constant obstacle to good
bench, bar and news media
relations ” Nichols said
He said coverage of criminal
trials may be more difficult for
security reasons, as the
defendant is present, and
because lurid and undignified
publicity would insult the court
and might cause reversal of a
conviction.
The U.S. Supreme Court
recently ruled it unconstitu
tional to let justices of the
peace collect a fee for issuing
criminal warrants, saying the
system made the justice biased
in favor of the prosecution. A
bill to pay justices for hearing
applications—regardless whe
ther they agree to issue a
warrant—has already passed
the Senate, and Nichols rec
ommended its adoption
