Creswell
to remain
all female
By JOEL BURKE
Housing department officials have
decided not to convert the bottom two
floors of Creswell into men's housing
next fall, according to an informed
housing source.
Director of Housing Daniel Hallenbeck
has previously stated that the change
was still under consideration. He could
not be reached for comment on this new
information.
Milledge will probably not be converted
into a women's dorm. Hallenbeck said
Monday. He added that the proposed
conversion of some double rooms into
triple rooms is still under consideration.
Dorm leaders whose dorms would be
involved in the change have been told
which rooms would be involved.
Several dorm residents, however, have
reported receiving letters informing them
that their rooms will be converted to triple
occupancy in the fall.
Larry Stanley, president of Russell and
a member of the Resident Hall
Association (RHA), said he felt
Hallenbeck's comments were invalid. "In
my experience,” he said, "Dr. Hallen-
beck says one thing and does something
else."
Hallenbeck will appear at an RHA
meeting planned for Thursday, according
to Marshall Dayan, a Russell represen
tative to RHA Dayan said Hallenbeck
will be questioned about the proposed
triple room conversion and the freshman
residency requirement.
IE HALLENBECK decides to create
triple rooms, the RHA will propose an
alternate solution to the predicted
overflow problem, Dayan said "We are
against triple rooms If it is adopted by
Housing, then I will go to the Health
Department to see if such living conditions
are sanitary. If Housing can do this," he
asked, "then when will it stop?”
Buddy Allen, the Student Government
Association (SGA) minister to housing,
said Monday he planned to meet with
Hallenbeck Tuesday to propose giving
persons who have already signed housing
contracts for next year a chance to
withdraw their contracts and receive full
refunds on their deposits.
Allen could not be reached for
comment on how the meeting turned out.

Charles Manson was "completely different from other mass murderers"
By BRYANT STEELE
Staff writer
The work of the allocations committee
should be finished by Thursday,
according to Tom Cochran, an account
ant with the Division of Student Affairs
At that time the committee should be
ready to make its recommendations to
Dean of Student Affairs Dwight Douglas
Douglas has the power to amend those
recommendations.
The committee has received *429,000 in
requests and has $309,000 in funds to
allocate, according to Rebecca West,
committee chairman.
The student members of the committee
will soon begin work on "Area IV" of the
allocations requests. Grant Raeside. a
member of the committee, said. Hearings
will begin "when we can set up
interviews." Cochran said.
AREA IV includes budget requests
from new organizations, small clubs, and
the Student Government Association
(SGA) Area IV became the responsibi
lity of Douglas last week when the
Student Senate refused to review those
requests.
The senate previously had recom
mending powers in other phases of the
allocations process, but the committee
Douglas formed took over those
recommendations except for what is now
referred to as Area IV.
After initially reviewing Area IV
budgets, the senate decided not to review
any more of the requests unless Douglas
gave it more of a voice in the allocations
process.
Douglas indicated yesterday he would
ask the student members of the
allocations committee to review Area IV
MANSON AND KENNEDY
Bugliosi tells inside story
By LYNN PLANKENHORN
Everyone is interested in murder—the
more sensational the better. A man with
inside knowledge on one of the most
publicized and grotesque mass murders
in recent times is a natural on the lecture
circuit and needless to say, Vincent
Bugliosi was well received here Tuesday
night
Bugliosi, author of the bestseller llelter
Skelter and prosecuting attorney in the
Charles Manson cases, spoke to an
almost full Reed Quad, telling the crowd
about the Charles Manson murders and
his more recent work on the Robert
Kennedy assassination.
The lecture was mainly a brief recap of •
the investigation he made into the Sharon
Tate and LaBianca murders. He
successfully prosecuted the case and
obtained convictions against Manson and
four members of his "family."
Bugliosi. who said in an earlier press
conference he is often compared to Bob
Newhart in appearance, lectured for an
hour and answered questions from the
audience for another hour and a half.
"The main reason for the continuing
interest is that the (Tate-LaBianca)
murders are the most bizarre in the
annals of recent history." Bugliosi said.
“Besides the murders being incredibly
bizarre, another interesting factor is that
most of the killers were young girls.”
He continued, "Another factor which
distinguishes these murders from others
in American history is that Manson
himself is completely different from
other mass murderers we have known in
America."
Bugliosi said he knew of no other case
where someone was able to talk people
into committing the murder for him.
MANSON'S HOLD over his family
was attained in a number of ways,
Bugliosi said.
Manson controlled a group of people,
largely female, ranging in age from 13 to
27 years whom he called his "family."
His command over them was so great he
was able to tell them to go the California
house where Sharon Tate lived and kill
requests, saying he had already "talked
to three of them "
RAESIDE AND Cochran indicated they
are already planning to review those
requests West said last week the
students had decided to review Area IV
budgets, "if we are asked."
Student members of the committee are
West, Raeside, Chris Garner, Tim
Lunceford and Phil Allen.
Garner and Lunceford are also
members of the senate allocations
committee. Raeside, as administrative
vice president of SGA, also serves on the
senate committee.
At the time West was asked to serve on
Douglas’ committee, it was thought she
would also be a member of the senate
committee as an appointee of Rob
Hancock, president of SGA. West’s
nomination was later turned down by the
senate, however, on the basis that she
was serving on Douglas' committee
Hancock later appointed Chip Wheeler,
who was approved by the senate.
Allen was appointed to the committee
after Mark Young resigned According to
Raeside, Allen came to the attention of
the committee after he applied as
Hancock’s appointee to the senate
allocations committee
Asked if he would return Area IV to the
senate next year, Douglas said, “I don’t
know what the senate will be like next
year " He added that if it had been his
intention not to allow the senate to take
part in the allocations process, he would
not have given them Area IV.
Senate Treasurer Robert Crout said
last week that the senate may seek legal
recourse next year if it does not get any
more allocations responsibility.
Utilities to be told

and five people were killed
The next night, Aug 9, 1969, Manson
accompanied the killers and they
randomly selected the residence of Leno
and Rosemary LaBianca. Members of
the family entered and brutally
murdered the couple—Manson left
Bugliosi said he is often asked "How
did this little guy, 5-2. who wouldn't step
on a flower gain this unbelievable
control over these people?”
Bugliosis answer was that Manson had
the inherent ability to dominate other
human beings, as have other people,
including Hitler. The people who followed
Manson were mainly hostile toward
society, involved in drugs and had
already "dropped-out."
Manson attracted these types, Bugliosi
said, and used perverted sex, drugs,
daily sermonizing and the use of symbols
to brainwash them
"He told the family that the people
they were killing were symbols of a sick

In its regularly scheduled meeting
Tuesday night, the Athens City Council
approved a recommendation from the
finance committee which would require
the city attorney to direct city utilities to
move their poles on Lumpkin.
The recommendation would call for the
poles to be set further from the curb. It
further suggested that the utility com
panies either install their own facilities
underground or acquire their own right
for the overhead distribution system in
areas where future traffic improvement
projects are planned and the entire
existing street right of way is required
The recommendation is subject to the
approval of the city attorney
Councilman Bryan Craft told The Red
and Black that he had no idea how long it
would take for the recommendation to
actually go into effect. Craft said the plan
could take longer in some areas than in
others. Craft added that he realized that
utilities were not going to like it, but
"anytime they must spend money they
don't like it.”
Craft said there was a problem with
the legality of the situation with the
original agreement with them concerning
right of way This was why the matter
was turned over to the city attorney
In other business, the council voted to
authorize the mayor's signature on a
contract concerning the purchase of a
cyclone cleaner for the Athens Transit
System. The cleaner would cost approx
imately $20,000 and would be bought
through matched funds from the State
Transportation system and the Athens
Transit System budget Ted Waters,
transit system director, explained that
the cleaner is a vacuum machine that
cleans the inside of buses
Tiie council also approved the mayor’s
signature to accept an operational grant
of $9000 for an update on the transit
system’s Development Program Accor
ding to Waters, the grant would extend
the present development program for
five years. He added that with this
update there would be a greater possibil
ity of coordinated systems between the
Athens Transit System and the Universi
ty system
May 17 has been set as the date for a
public hearing concerning a Georgia

intersections Mayor Upshaw Bentley
announced that before then, all persons
who could be affected by the study would
be notified and the proper publicity
concerning the study would be made

Ecology institute costs most to heat, cool
By HOPE DLUGOZIMA
Staff writer
Dr Eugene Odum prides himself on being a conserver of
energy. Indeed, to honor the work of the director of the
University's Institute of Ecology, the federal government
recently granted him a cash prize of $150,000 lor his efforts
So it's interesting that the fairly new building housing Odum’s
institute probably runs up the highest heating and air
conditioning bill per square foot of any on campus
"Of course, it’s very embarassing for the ecology institute,"
Odum said.
The ecology building "is probably the most expensive
structure to heat and cool per square foot" at the University,
according to John H Green, administrator of Department
Management for the Physical Plant
Green attributed the high costs to the design of the building
"They don’t reuse the old air in the building but bring in new
air,” he said. “It is due to experimentation."
Odum feels that the high operating costs are only due in part
to experimentation.
“The building was not designed too well,” Odum said "The
high ceilings and courtyard make it pleasant but not efficient.
“In addition, the building has never operated very well. We
have been putting pressure on the Physical Plant to fix the
system." Odum said.
The Office of Campus Planning, which approves building
plans, had to meet certain requirements in the construction of
the ecology building. David Lunde, associate director of
Campus Planning, said the National Science Foundation tNSF)
set the conditions
"THE NATIONAL Science Foundation, who funded most of
the building costs, requires that buildings with experimental
labs not reuse too per cent of their air They have to throw
away the air. which takes a lot more energy,” Lunde said
"Energy conservation was not part of the foundation's
regulations. They were more concerned with toxic fumes in the
building," he said.
Regulations have changed now, according to Lunde. "They
are much more lenient about those regulations now because of
the energy problem," he added
Lunde said only two areas of the building have high ceilings,
which are there to provide natural light The courtyard was
constructed because "Dr Odum requested that we put a
courtyard in the plans so in case of a blackout we could open
the windows which face the courtyard to allow cross ventila
tion," Lunde said
Since the NSF’s regulations have been eased somewhat,
Campus Planning is "going back in now and putting in
duct work to recycle the air," Lunde said. "Toxic chemicals are
only spilled in the labs once or twice a year Instead of vacating
the lab. the people will have to vacate the building when we get
this new system in,” he said.
ODUM SEES solar heating as one answer to the high costs
"We are hoping to put in solar heating We hope this will make
the heating and air conditioning costs more efficient in the
future," he said
But according to Lunde, solar heating is still too expensive.
"The initial cost of putting it in would lie too expensive and we
would spend a long time making up that original cost When it
gets perfected, they we can design it into the building
"Solar heating and air conditioning has to be supplemented
by heaters and air conditioners anyway." he said
Odum thinks all buildings on campus should be reviewed by
the Physical Plant. "It is time for all buildings ,o be studied
from the standpoint of an energy basis," he noted
