Dean says A&S
will not divide
By BRYANT STEELE
Campus editor
The much-debated restructuring and possible division of the
Franklin College of Arts and Sciences was not discussed when
Dr. William J. Payne became temporary dean of the College
in August.
“There was never any question of breaking up Arts and
Sciences. We will make it function as it is,” Payne said in an
interview with The Red and Black.
Payne was appointed acting dean by University President
Fred C. Davison on Aug. 4, the same day that University
officials announced the resignation of John C. Stephens, at that
time the arts and sciences dean.
Although he anticipates serving no longer than a year,
Payne said he intends to work at improving the College.
"I’ve been in (arts and sciences) 22 years. I’m aware of
what's going on. I’m not here just to sign papers
A search committee for a permanent dean will be formed,
Payne said.
"I’m not a candidate myself,” Payne added.
No specific guidelines were established for him by
administration officials, Payne said.
“They gave me no 1-2-3 rules. I was just asked to come in
and have a good year and pull the college together There
were no directives."
Although restructuring of the college wasn't discussed at the
time of his appointment, Payne said some restructuring, in
the form of additional staff, had taken place. He said he did
not know if the addition of staff members was what Davison
had intended when he first began proposing restructure of the
College in May.
At that time major restructuring proposals were discussed
which would have removed budgetary and faculty promotion
power from Stephen's authority.
Payne indicated major restructuring will not now take
place

No more wet T-shiria in Athens
Continued From p. IA
Department of Transportation,
when President Carter was
governor, and said, "I deeply
regret that Bert Dance has
been denied the opportunity to
show the nation the kind of job
he could have performed as
director of OMB "
Miller, a boyhood schoolmate
of Lance, said, I am sorry for
Bert, but even sorrier for the
nation. He could have ade a
great contribution.”
Although Lance enjoyed tel
ling people how he started off
in 1951 as a $90-a-month bank
-eller in his hometown of
Calhoun, Ga., the generous,
expansive Lance was not a
pcnny-pmcher in his personal
affairs
At the time of his first foray
into politics—an unsuccessful
Georgia gubernatorial bid in
1974—Lance estimated his net
worth at $3 1 million and spent
$1 million on his campaign
Lance, 45, and his wife,
LaBelle, grew accustomed to a
jet-set lifestyle which included
three Georgia residences—a
60-room Atlanta mansion, a
300-acre Calhoun farm and a
Sea Island summer home.
Their Atlanta house, called
“Butterfly Manna," was fur
nished in expensive antiques
and Mrs Lance reportdly paid
contractors to paint, sand and
refinish the living room walls
six times to achieve a
porcelain finish. They enter
tained lavishly often seating 50
persons at the dining room
table, and drove Cadillacs
Mrs Lance, a deeply religi
ous woman who once said she
believed in a “divine plan,”
was Lances's high school
sweetheart Although her
grandfather founded the Cal
houn First National Bank, she
once said she was “not afraid
of losing material things."
She used to tell reporters she
and her husband "started out
in blue-jeans and could go back
to blue-jeans." But she always
dressed impeccably in expen
sive clothes
Despite Lance's frequent
description of himself as a
"country banker” and his
"just plain folks" manner,
both he and his wife were
ambitious strivers—socially,
politically and financially
When Carter tapped Lance to
go to Washington, he and his
wife promptly rented a three-
story house in Georgetown for
$18,000 a year and plunged
headlong into Washington's
social life.
Six months after their
arrival in the nation’s capital,
the Lances hosted a private
party at the swank Georgetown
Inn, attended by cabinet
officials and Supreme Court
justices. Mrs. Lance gave out
bottles of perfune as party
favors to departing guests
"They wanted so much to be
accepted here," said one
Washington social observer.

In the wake of last spring's
wet t-shirt contest at the Fifth
Quarter, the Athens Mayor and
Council on Sept. 5 voted to ban
all future wet t-shirt contests
at any establishment that
needs a liquor license to
operate
By a vote of 6-3, the Council
passed an ordinance forbidding
such contests at city bars that
require "the wetting or soak
ing of the upper torso of a
female or the pelvic region of a
male or female "
Fourth Ward Councilman
Dwain Chambers, sponsor of
the ordinance, said the Coun
cil's reasoning was two-fold.
"We feel that there is a
standard of conduct that
privileged licensees are expec
ted to uphold, and in this case,
the license holder goes beyond
this standard of conduct,”
Chambers said
He added that in wet t-shirt
contests, where the partici
pants (usually female) parade
in front of a large (usually
male) crowd, there is “a
potential for the participants to
be attacked "
But Councilman Ed Turner,
who voted against the ordi
nance, said the Council is
getting ir..o “a situation which
would have no end to it."
“With an ordinance against
wet t-shirt contests we ll soon
be having wet gown contests."
Turner said, "and since we
have no ordinance in the book
against wet gown contests, the
Council would have to pass
another new one.”
Turner added that there is a
"constitutional question" in
volved in the Council s action,
and there "will be problems in
enforcement
Cliff Walls, owner of The
Fifth Quarter, an establish
ment that has held two wet
t-shirt contests, called the
Council s actions "a shame "
"We've never had any
trouble at our wet t-shirt
contests," Walls said "I could
see passing an ordinance
banning them if there was
trouble But I had five pro
football players working for
me during the last contest and
nobody was going to start
anything."
Wails added that he did not
"use a rope to drag people in"
to see the contest "We
charged !5 a ticket and we sold
out," he said
But Chambers said he felt
most of the city stood behind
the ordinance
“I think the concensus of
opinion was that the contests
were harmful to both the
participants and the reputation
of the community,” he said. would have expressed the
Turner offered an alternate Council's disapproval of such
ordinance which would not entertainment The measure
have banned the contests, but failed by a 6 to 3 vote

Snelling expansion approved
By JULIE KUHR
Production manager
The Board of Regents have
approved a preliminary plan for
a $597,397 expansion of Snel-
ing, that will increase both
-tudent and faculty dining
irea.
One addition to the South
Campus dining hall, Campus
Manning Director David Lun-
le said, will be a 30-foot by
10-foot extension on the north
ide of the building, the side
hat faces Physical Education.
The plans, drawn up by the
rchitectural firm of Miller,
Valtz and Diedrich, also call
)r a 23-foot by 33-foot addition
n the east side of the building,
butting the present faculty
ining area.
Lunde said working draw-
igs for the project will take
tree to four months to
omplete, and then bid letting
ill take four to six weeks
onstruction will take about a
, ear, he said.
The bottom floor of the main
ddition on the north side will
ontain Food Services office
, pace and will be accessible by
levator. The old offices to the
ear of the building will be
converted into kitchen storage
•pace, Lunde said.
Plans for the top fioor of
this addition, Lunde said, “will
double the (student) dining
area and at .»<*st double the
capacity of the serving line.”
The serving line, he said,
will be split into two lines, and
the beverages will be served
from a separate counter.
The east side addition, Lunde
said, will hold additional
faculty dining space that can
be used for a meeting room or
can be opened when the faculty
dining hall becomes crowded.
The extension, he said, will
contain an entrance for faculty
members and an entrance
accessible to handicapped stu
dents. Ohter students will
continue to use the existing
entrance, he added.
The cost of the building
includes $100,000 worth of
equipment including the exten
sion of the conveyor belt for
dirty dishes into the new
student area and the construc
tion of a conveyor belt into the
faculty area.
The additions will have high
windows on the sides which
will give a skylight effect from
the inside, Lunde said. The
ends of the building will have
large, arched windows, he
added
f the construction of the
student dining addition, the
windows need to be removed to
provide arched doorways be
tween the old student dining
area and the new room.
Construction of the additions
will not take up any parking
spaces, Lunde said.
Also, Lunde said, Snelling
will be centrally heated and air
conditioned, and two new
restrooms will be built on the
bottom floor of the north side
addition.

Stimulate your mind! Put on your THINKING CAP tm and
expenment with pyramid energy yourself in your own environ
ment. The Thinking Cap jm >* * replica of the Great Pyramid of
Cheops, a structure that has withstood the test of time and
astounded modern day engineers, mathematicians and scientists
while remaining cloaked in a 4,000 year old cloud of mystery.
The energy force that is attributed to the pyramid shape cannot
be explained by todays scientific community although much re
search is now being done in hopes of a better understanding of
this amazing force. The idea of the PYRAMID THINKING CAP
TM is to apply this mysterious energy directly to the brain, to
stimulate and i ntensify the users thoughts in a peaceful natural
manner. While not in use as a THINKING CAP jm experiment
with pyramid energy in different ways and your PYRAMID
