Former first lady enjoys retirement
By PATKK'IA TEMPLETON
’ Editor
"I am no longer a public figure.” Lady Bird Johnson said, even
though she was surrounded by secret service men, security
guards, reporters and people clamoring to shake her hand or ask
for her autograph "I am in retirement and I am enjoying it.”
Lady Bird Johnson, wife of the late President Lyndon Johnson,
was at the University Friday for the dedication of the Dean Rusk
Center for International and Comparative Law. Rusk, now a
professor of international law at the University, served as
secretary of state under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson.
Despite the former first lady’s claims that she is no longer a
public figure. Lady Bird was the center of attention before,
during and after the dedication ceremonies Friday. She arrived
in Athens a little after noon, attended a luncheon at University
President Fred C. Davison’s home and toured part of the campus
before the dedication ceremony at 3 p m.
And despite her claims that she is “in retirement,” Lady Bird
still knows how to act like a public figure. During the rather
lengthy dedication ceremony she never forgot for one minute that
she was on stage The cameras were aimed at her throughout the
service, and she never once failed to smile or pretend to be
anything less than delighted to be in Athens.
ALTHOUGH IIER stay in Athens was brief and rushed, the
former first lady found time to speak to everyone who stopped
her. Her only concession to the shortness of her stay in the Classic
City was to give her admirers “just a quick LBJ” instead of
signing her full name on the slips of paper offered to her.
SIERRA CLUB LEADER
Before the dedication ceremonies began. Johnson talked briefly
to reporters and then met alone with Rusk in his new office. She
sat at Rusk’s desk, under autographed photographs of her
husband and John Kennedy, and autographed the Rusk Center’s
guest book.
“Dean Rusk is so staunch, so courageous, so able Georgia
must be proud of him,” she said after the ceremonies. “Lyndon
admired him. His character, his ability, his heart just couldn't be
excelled. I remember a lot of things about him, trips we took,
funny things.”
After the dedication ceremonies, the former first lady was
given a tour of the Founders Memorial Gardens and the Georgia
Garden Club headquarters. She seemed to be impressed by “the
mix of old and new (buildings) on campus and the open spaces "
“I like to see old buildings recycled and put back into use,” she
said. “At the Univesity of Texas we took down a lot of the old
ones before we found out whether they could be restructured
AFTER LEAVING Athens, Johnson was headed to Roanoke,
Va., to stay with her daughter, Lynda Robb Her son-in-law.
Charles Robb, is currently campaigning for lieutenant governor
of Virginia. “I just plan to stay with the grandchildren or do
anything I can to help. It’s only nine more days until the
elections,” she said.
The former first lady just finished a term on the Texas Board
of Regents, and said she spends most of her time now traveling
and visiting her grandchildren. "Every year I try to go to a
country I haven’t been to before. Last year I went to Israel, this
year 1 went to Egypt, next year I hope to go to Greece,” she said

“The retirement plan is a real
human problem on campuses
statewide I know of one
employe who has been working
at the University for 20 years
and who makes $2 79 per hour
with no retirement plan,” Ross
said.
A pension plan was set up by
the state legislature but no
money was placed into it,
according to Ross.
Phillips explained that there
currently is money available
for the retirement plan, but he
added that he was unsure that
any of the money would be
placed in the program
“We need several million
dollars (for the retirement
plan) It usually takes about
three years before funding is
completed In January, there
will be a half billion dollars in
requests for 50 to loo million
available dollars.' Phillips
stated
Ross said he returned from
the meeting with a feeling that
the committee members were
not interested in what he or
the other students had to say

The Governance Committee
of the Student Senate discusses
a two-body structural approach
to student government at its
Thursday meeting
One body would consist of
three areas of representation.
First, there would be an
appointed representative from
each school council The
graduate students would be
included with their representa
tive schools, and Arts and
Sciences would be divided up
into a North Campus Council
and a South Campus Council
If a school did not have a
council, as now is the case of
only two schools—Social Work
and Arts and Sciences—the
representative from the Uni
versity Council would be the
representative from that
school.
The second type of represen
tation in this first body would,
consist of an appointed repre
sentative from Ag Hill, RHA,
Panhellenic and the Inter-fra
ternity Council. Any organiza
tion approved by this initial 17
member charter organization
would then be able to have a
representative in this body.
The second body would
consist of nine persons elected-
at-large in staggered elections.
The concerns of this body
would be similar to the
executive cabinet now, accor
ding to Harold Mulherin
(A&S).
These nine committee mem
bers would have staffs to help
them which would be filled
either by general appointment
or from representatives from
the first body. “You don’t want
someone in a staff position just
for a resume,” Mulherin said.
The first body would bring
issues to the second body,
which would take action on
them. As means of control, the
election commission would be
a separate entity, and the first
body would have impeachment
power.
"The senate now tries to act
on a University-wide basis It
is more of ‘I’m a senator’ and
not Tm a senator from the
school of...’,’’ according to Sen
Tucker Hobgood
"The diversity of the new
plan is good. As it is now. the
senators have no means of
having direct contact with
their schools,” according to
Bill Bracewell, the administra
tion’s Governance Committee
representative.
The function of this two part
body will be discussed at the
Governance Committee’s Tues
day meeting at 7 p.m. in
Memorial.

The inconsistency of land-use
policies of this country in
relation to the current problem
of whether to utilize nuclear or
coal power was among the
subjects discussed by Dr.
William Futrell at the fall
meeting of Sigma Xi Thursday
night
Futrell is the national
president of the Sierra Club
and a prolessor of law at the
University.
“Western coal and strip
mining arc one of the most
important questions in the
second part of this century,”
Futrell said. Futrell spoke of
the controversy in this country
for the past five years over a
strip mining law involving the
lands in the West. The
controversy revolves around
strip mining versus the use of
shipment of Eastern coal,
according to Futrell.
Futrell felt no nuclear power
plants should be licensed for
construction until the disposal
of nuclear waste, the safety of
the nuclear fuel cycle and the
problem of nuclear meltdown
are accounted for.
“Some Sierra Club leaders
are now farmers and demand
environmental decisions,” Fu
trell said. “Our environmental
policies goals are to protect
long-term productivity of the
soil and come to specifics
which alert people to our
policies,” he added
“We also want to establish
the idea of a balanced world
population and develop long
term stabilization of a lane for
people who farm.”
Futrell said the allocation of
water is always the key
allocation in the West and
there is much more emphasis
on chemicals in our environ
ment, especially in the exami
nation of industry.
In the area of food policy
Futrell said, “One basic
emotional response is that we
do not want North America to
be used to bail out Spaceship
Earth. North America is not be
be seen as an endless bread
basket."
Futrell stressed the impor
tance of the farmer in our
country in the effort of the
Sierra Club in groping toward
an agricultural policy

honoring Rusk.
Rusk, in expressing thanks
for the presentation, said that
his time here at the University
had been ' among the happiest
years of my life.”
In speaking of his students
here at the University Law
School. Rusk said. "I’ve seen
eight classes of students come
and go. They are enough to
build one's confidence in the
future."

He also missed by one place being on the tennis team The first
five tennis team members were from North Carolina. Rusk said,
and if he had not missed the sixth place, the entire Oxford tennis
team would have been represented by North Carolinians
From Oxford Rusk attended law school at the University of
California at Berkley After graduating, he joined the state
department and in 1952 became president of the Rockefeller
Foundation
When John F Kennedy was elected President, there was press
speculation that Rusk would become secretary of state
"I had never met him." Rusk said of Kennedy “He asked me
to come see him. We spent an hour talking about other people.
There was no reference he would ask me
"I went back to the Rockefeller Foundation and told my
colleagues to forget the press speculation.”
The next day. Rusk said, Kennedy asked him to take the
position. Rusk insisted on talking it over with Kennedy, but
finally agreed to become Kennedy's secretary of state, he said
After serving Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson in the White
House. Rusk came back to Georgia to take the Sibley
Professorship at the University
It’s hard to compare the world of government and the world of
teaching because of the different elements of responsibility. Rusk
said, but he described the University as a world of opinion and a
luxury.
"It feels like a liberation I can havp one opinion today, and an
opposite opinion tomorrow
“I’ve regained my right of free speech " Government officials
sacrifice that right. Rusk said
The real rewards of teaching are somewhat delayed and come
through the lives of students. Rusk said He added he has seen a
good many satisfactions
“It’s a great pleasure to see < students> come out of their
cocoons." he said.
Rusk's three children are scattered across the country. The
oldest son, David, has just been elected mayor of Albuquerque.
Nli Mexico. Rusk MM Without a rwnoi! tic added
The other son, Richard, is an outdoorsman in Nome. Alaska,
where he is active in launching a newspaper Also active as a
building contractor, Rusk said Richard w as alw ays a jack-of all
trades.
