It’s just beginning, but here’s a guide to University services
By JULIE RUHR
Production manager
Each fall the new students arriving on campus find that a
university of 22.000 students can be a perplexing place
But a few tips on where to go and what to do once there can go a
long way in diminishing some of the complexity.
Following is a list of services available to students and how to
go about using them:
Campus Buses
Campus buses, free to students, run along seven routes Monday
through Saturday from 7 a m to 6 pm, with a night bus taking
over until 10 p.m.
Daytims bus routes are: Lumpkin-Milledge, Married Housing,
East-West-Married Housing, East-West, Library-Russell Hall,
Campus Express and North-South.
Bus schedules and maps are available at a number of
distribution points on campus and on the buses themselves
Athens Transit System
Students may also ride the Athens Transit System buses
without paying a fare if a student identification and valid fee
card are presented
Because of a decision reached by the Athens City Council and
University officials last spring, 91 is paid from each student’s
quarterly activity fee to the transit system in exchange for free
student ridership.
The Athens buses run from 6 a m. to 7 or 7:30 p.m., except for
the Lumpkin-Milledge route, which ends at 8:30 p.m. Buses run
Monday through Saturday, but Saturday buses do not travel as far
outside of the downtown area as weekday buses
Buses come in intervals of from 15 to 30 minutes at “peak”
hours — 6 to 9 30 a m and 3 to 6:30 p.m At other times, there is
a 30-minute waiting period
Athens Transit schedules are available on the buses and at the
following locations: C&S Bank downtown. First National Bank
downtown, Memorial, Brumby, the Georgia Center. Prince
Avenue Golden Pantry, Sussex Club Apartments. Athens
Welcome Center. City Hall. Add Rexall at Five Points. Denny
Towers. Athens Regional Library. Brookside Halfway House.
Lanier Gardens and the Neighborhood Health Center
Bicycle Registration
University students who bring bicycles to campus are required
to register them at the Public Safety Bui■ ling
Bicycles that do not carry registration permits and are not
properly chained to bike racks will be impounded by the Traffic
Safety Department A fee of $5 will be charged to release the
bike
Students are also urged to have their bicycles engraved with
their social security number or permit number at the University
Police Department for extra protection.
Traffic Safety also reports that about 20 abandoned bicycles
were cut from campus bicycle racks »t the end of the summer.
These bikes carry no identification and are reportedly either
damaged or stripped Owners can claim the bikes or whatever is
left of them at the Public Safety Building
Health Services
Visits to the University Health Service are free of charge to
students upon presentation of a student identification and valid fee
card because of a 928 quarterly student health fee
Health Services, located on North Campus, with an entrance on
Lumpkin Street, is open from 9 am to 5 pm Monday through
Friday and 9am to noon Saturday. The facility provides
emergency care 24 hours a day, everv day. with a doctor on call
The mental health side of the building is open the same hours
as the physical health side
The service also holds regular allergy, wart, weight control
and gynecological clinics, as well as unscheduled sexual health
care sessions
The Helath Service pharmacy stocks most types of drugs and
health care supplies, with the exception of birth control pills and
certain “chronic” drugs, such as insulin

Finding answers to Univer
sity bureaucratic dilemmas
may now be easier with the
advent of student services
tapes recorded by the Student
Affairs office.
If successful, the new
program, which now nas 26
tapes, could be expanded to
include more topics, according
to David Fletcher, assistant to
the dean of student affairs.
“This is an experimental
year,” Fletcher said Some of
the tapes now available might
be dropped and other topics of
student concern might be
added, he said.
“We were going to publish a
list of the tapes in the student
handbook, but (the additional
pages) would have cost about
9500. so we decided not to do it
this year," he added
Instead, flyers publicizing
the service will be distributed
to various campus locations,
he said. The flyers will contain
a list of tape titles with their
identification numbers. A list
of the tapes is also published
on this page.
The system operates like the
Tel-Med library of recorded
health messages and uses the
same Tel-Med playback sys
tem located in Health Services.
To request a tape, a caller
dials 9-8912 and asks for the
number of the tape he would
like to hear For instance, if a
caller wanted information on
the University library, he
would ask for tape A-24.
The messages are about
three minutes long and may
direct the caller to other
sources if more information is
needed, Fletcher said
The switchboard will be open
24 hours a day.
Tapes now available are
listed below with their identify
ing numbers.

Tapes about sex
phone favorites

Campus editor
The Tel-Med tape library has
handled over 22,000 requests
since the service began in
May, according to Health
Services Administrator Warren
Loar.
And, as might be expected,
the tapes on male and female
sexual response have been the
most requested. "Those two
tapes were worn out and we
had to replace them," Loar
said.
But Tel-Med has offerings
for those other than the
sexually curious Topics range
from "Health Hints for Cam
pers" to “Schizophrenia."
The purpose ot Ihe tape
library is to provide general
information In a straightfor
ward manner on various health
subjects, Loar said The
messages offer guidance and.
refer callers to their physi
cians or to local health
agencies if further information
is needed. Tel-Med is not
meant to replace your doctor.
Loar said, nor should it be
used in an emergency.
To use Tel-Med, a caller
dials 2 8910 and tells the
operator the identification
number of ihe tape to be
played Tape titles and corres
ponding numbers are published
on this page, and brochures
with the same information are
available al Health Services
The Health Services bro
chure contains one error.
“First Aid for Bee Sting" is
tape number 121. instead of 21
as listed in the brochure
The cost of the system was
"a litUe more than $10,000,"
Loar said The expense was
shared by St Mary s hospital,
which co-sponsors Tel*Med
with Health Services
The system has handled as
many as 800 calls a day, and
could handle 1,440 requests in a
day, Loar said

Another use has been found
for the playback system by Ihe
student affairs office Begin
ning this quarter, students
may dial 9-8912 to get
information on student servi
ces, according to David
Fletcher, assistant to the Dean
of Student Affairs
See related story on this page.
By dialing that number and
asking for a tape by its
identification number a student
can get information on such
topics as housing, employment,
football tickets and withdrawal
policies.
The Tel-Med library pro
gram began in California and
has become popular across the
country, Loar said. Subscri
bers to the service sign a
maintenance contract with the
home branch of Tel-Med.
The taped messages have
been reviewed for accuracy by
physicians and dentists.

showing the young people and
the adults that you really can

I also feel good about

one of them, and the best way to find that out
