"This will be done "
Also included in the memor
andum were the criticisms
leveled at the poll which was
released this week, as well as
Davison's response to faculty
judgments of fhe~administra
tion
But the promise of an A&S
reorganization appears to be
the next step in an escalating
war between Davison and dis
sident faculty members at the
Unviersity.
Although dissatisfaction with
Davison's administration is not
new—calls for his resignation
have been made since 1973 and
perhaps before—the current
struggle appears to have begun
in the summer of 1975
Gov George Busbee called
the General Assembly into
special session in July of that
year to make cuts in the state
government’s budget The ax
fell heavily on University Sys
tem funds.
As the year progressed, it
became necessary for the ad
ministration to reduce the ope
rating budgets of all units of
the University. In some depart
ments, telephones were re
moved from offices. Others
found it necessary to terminate
the employment of teaching
assistants
The sitution led to wide
spread dissatisfaction among
many faculty members, es
pecially since promised salary
increases were revoked due to
the budget crunch
The campus affiliate of the
tally the detei mination that
over 50 per cent of the res
pondents thought Davison was
not doing “C” level work
overall as president
However, S. William Pelle
tier, then the provost, was

took the issue to court as a
breach of contract and ulti
mately won the raises back.
This intensified the financial
plight of the University
And when the Board of
Regents announced a 10 per
cent tuition hike in February
1976—the second of that aca
demic year—students joined
the chorus of protesters. At
least two peititons were circu
lated calling for Davison's
resignation, and two protest
rallies were held in Memorial
plaza denouncing the Univer
sity administration and the
regents
The A&S faculty senate re
leased the results of its first
faculty poll on Feb. 24. 1976.
The administration hotly con
tested the methodology and
findings of the survey—espec-
given an "F" from over 60 per
cent of T-espondents. He re
signed two weeks later. His
letter of resignation stated his
desire “to return to teaching”
and noted that he had “sub
stantially accomplished” goals
he had set for setting promo
tion and tenure standards com
parable to other major univer
sities
The financial situation eased
by the fall of 1976, but profes
sors continued an exodus from
the Unviersity that had begun
the previous year, leaving to
take better-paying jobs else
where. In many cases these
were the highly qualified pro
fessionals that the University
could least afford to lose.
In addition, a report by a
group of Georgia Association

in the awarding of promotions
and tenure and “subtle forms
of harassment.’’ The report
was criticized by both admin
istrators and faculty leaders,
but it remained a sore spot
with (he central administra
tion.
The budgetary problems—
"creeping apathy” in “the
public attitude toward higher
education"—were the theme of
Davison’s State of the Univer
sity address in October, and he
presented his defense of the
University’s academic direc
tion to the Board of Regents in
December.
But the presentation did not
quell criticism on campus.
During fall and winter quar
ters, a committee studying the
organization of A&S—gener
ally called the Edwards com
mittee-issued a series of “ex
ploratory papers” that criticiz
ed an overemphasis on graduate
teaching and research—the
thing Davison had most poin
tedly defended in his presenta
tion to the regents
The committee did not dis
count the importance of gradu
ate teaching and research, but
it did strongly urge a renewed
emphasis on undergraduate in
struction.
And in its final report Mon
day, the Edwards committee
recommended that the college
not be divided.
At the same time, the second
faculty poll was released,
again strongly criticizing the
adminstration.

The last few days have seen a return of rain
to the Athens area, but the state’s drought
stricken farmers in the southwest have
received little relief.
Ken Koch, staff meteorologist for the Atlanta
office of the National Weather Service says the
recent rainfall has oceuiTed primarily in the
southeastern and northern parts of the state.
“The really dry southwest has had a few
showers but no general rain," Koch said. "This
has helped prevent the extreme drying out
conditions "
A weak low pressure system has remained
stationary over southwest Georgia for the past
few days. It has drawn in tropical moisture,
accounting for the scattered thunder showers,
the weather service said. '
The official forecast calls for the state to
return to a normal rainfall pattern during the
next 30 days.
But the parched southwest should not expect
any change in the present weather pattern for
the next three to five days, Koeh said.
"All we have working now is thunder
showers, and that's kind of hit and miss,” he
said.
Tommy Irvin, state agriculture commissio
ner, said the drought is taking its toll on
commerica! farming centered in the southwest.
“It’s taking a serious situation and making it
worse,” he said.
Irvin said he had received reports from some
farmers that the drought had caused com to
wilt to the point that they have to plow it under.
Many of these farmers hope to replant the
acreage with soybeans
Some farmers in south Georgia have been
forced to sell their cattle because pastures
have dried up and many of them cannot afford
to buy feed, Irvin said.
According to the Georgia Reporting Service,
only 29 per cent of the state’s soybean crop
has been planted. The earth is still too dry in
most regions for the soybeans to germinate
Irvin believes that the northern part of the
state has had enough rainfall recently to allow
the planting of soybeans.
In many dry areas farmers have abandoned
cotton planting, hoping to make a late crop ol
soybeans. Irvin said.
'Annie Hall’ is believable

By KIM E. HUMMELL
Confirmed Woody Allen ha
ters might very well change
their minds after they see his
latest film, "Annie Hall.”
People who dislike Woody
Allen's contrived, mechanical
humor so much that it's
unfunny to them will be
surprised by “Annie Hall."
In contrast to earlier gim
mick-riddled films including
“Bananas” and “Sleeper,"
Allen relies on a believable
plot that revolves around the
love affairs of a twice-divorced
stand up comedian (Allen) and
a kooky, aspiring singerlDiane
Keaton)
Allen’s self-analysis is famil
iar, as are the characters—Al
len playing the bumbling.

insecure, sexually hung up
little man and Keaton the zany
extrovert always willing to try
somethin- new. But Allen's use
of them is not familiar, which
is part of the magic of “Annie
Hail.”
The film continuously moves
Movie
review
from past to present and back
again while Allen’s character
tries to identify a rational
basis for human relationships.
He questions why the most
satisfying relationship of his
life (with Annie) went wrong.
Though he never really an
swers his own questions, he
reveals something about hu
man beings, the most touching
aspect of "Annie Hall.”
Naturally, one of the flash
backs concerns the childhood
of Allen’s character, who grew
up in an otherwise inconspi
cuous little house—except that
it stood directly underneath his
father's roller coaster track
It is at this point that he
blames some of his insecurities
on the fact that as a child he

could never enjoy a quiet
snack without the roller
coaster roaring over the house
and shaking it as if there had
been an earthquake.
The film also flashes back to
Allen's two wives, one who
wanted sex all the time and
one who was too intellectual to
be very interested in such
recreation. In Annie, he seems
to find the right combination.
Though this is a serious film
like "The Front”, Allen retains
some comedic elements which
are evident from the moment
he first meets Annie. In one
scene, while she doubles over
with laughter, he squeamishly
attempts to pick up lobsters
from the kitchen floor and
dump them into a pot of boiling
water.
In another scene, he* reluc
tantly agrees to snort cocaine
with Annie and some of her
friends at a party Though he
dislikes the idea of artificial
“highs" and is obviously
unfamiliar with the situation,
he tries to carry it off like an
expert.
So he opens the tin of the
fine, powdery substance—and
sneezes. Half the contents
spread all over the room. A
hopelessly pained look crosses
the faces of Annie's friends
It appears that “Annie Hall"
is part of a growing trend in
Woody Allen films. From the
brainless, contrived "Bana
nas” and "Sleeper" to "Hie
Front" and now "Annie Hall”,
Allen has progressed from
fantasy to something closer to
reality In the process he has
revealed another side of
himself.
