Both SGA President Rob
Hancock and Executive
Vice President Nancy Neal
agreed a closer working
relationship is an important
step in averting internal
conflict in the executive
branch
They were referring to a
conflict over executive tra
vel funds which has gone on
for two and a half quarters
A final decision was
leached last Monday which
determined the $1000 alloca
ted to the three SGA execu
tive branches is available to
all members of the board
Hancock had withheld
travel money from Neal
claiming he as president
could determine where the
monev should go. The
Judicial Council overruled
him after a petition from
Neal.
The council also ruled
Neal was a member of the
delegation to the statewide
Student Advisory Council
(SAC). Hancock claimed
the SAC bylaws gave him
the power to decide on a
SAC delegation. He added
since Neal was not chosen
by him to be part of the
delegation she could not be
reimbursed for travel ex
penses to SAC meetings
Asked to comment on the
ruling Hancock said he had
none. It was pointed out
over half of the executive
travel expense money has
been exhausted He said "I
will do what I can to hold
down spending We need to
double up in motel rooms
and cars to cut costs.”
Spring quarter a new
administration will take
over the executive branch
These new officers will have
to work with the travel
money left over from the
current executive branch.
A suggestion from the
Judicial Council that the
executive money be divided
equally among all three
officers drew a positive
response from Hancock and
Neal but a negative one
from Administrative Vice
President Grant Raeside
“I think the three of us
should have decided how
much money was to be
needed,” Raeside said. The
three officers working to
gether is the key, he added.
“If there is a problem or
dispute, the third person
should decide the matter,”
he said. The conflict over
travel expenses between
Neal and Hancock was a
case in point, he added.
“Maybe I should have
been asked to decide on the
matter,” he said.
The president should de
cide on his delegation to the
SAC, Raeside said, adding
that he sided with Hancock
on the SAC dispute.
Raeside's suggestion that
a majority of executive
board members decide poli
cy was rejected by Neal.
“That way two people can
control the third member’s
action,” she said "We need
to remain independent of
each other concerning poli
cy matters.”
SGA focuses on service
By JOEL BURKE
Assistant campus editor
The Student Government
Association (SGA. Gover
nance Committee is focus
ing its efforts on increasing
SGA's services to students.
“A new attitude would be
created toward student gov
ernment.” Tii.i Lewis, sena
tor from Agriculture and a
member of the governance
committee said.
“I think stereo and book
co-ops, organizing refrigera
tor rental, and similar
activities would be part of
this change," he added
A new constitution de
signed to move toward this
goal is the subject of the
governance committee’s la
bors. he said.
The cur-ent constitution
has many ambiguities and
loopholes. Tucker Hobgood
«Business Administration)
said. “Right now there are
five or six infractions of the
constitution going on, due to
ignorance or other causes,”
he added.
The governance commit
tee is considering a govern
ment structure placing
more power with individual
school councils, Hobgood
said. “This was a sugges
tion of many administrators
who felt student needs could
be handled better that
way,” he added.
A problem with any reor
ganization is that commit
tees concerned with this
problem change members
every year.
‘‘We hope to have a new
constitution out by the end
of winter quarter.” he
added
If this cannot be acom-
plished, the committee will
submit a report of its work
to next year’s committee,
he added
“We still consider policy
matters important,” Lewis
said. However, an increase
of services directly aiding
students would enhance
SGA's image and probably
be more helpful to students,
he added.
"We definitely need to
speak out against the new
drop-add policy (giving
students two days instead of
three). I think the campaign
against the 14-dav with
drawal policy was a great
success," he added.
Lewis said the SGA
workshop held two week
ends ago was a good thing
and should be done every
quarter. At the school he
transferred from, such a
workshop was held every
quarter, he added.
"The money spent on
such an effort more than
pays itself back to the
students," he said.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
Gift Bazaar offers the unique

Gift-wrapped boxes, holiday
carols, a brightly-lit evergreen
tree and even a Santa Claus...
Sound like the after-Thanks
giving decor of Macy’s?
Acutally it’s the University’s
very own Memorial Ballroom,
the settings for the Internation
al Gift Bazaar.
With the "season to be jolly"
rapidly approaching, the spe
cial events division of the
Union is holding its annual
bazaar.
Thir gives everyone the
opportunity to do some early
shopping, which otherwise
might be left to the last minute
and get in on some good buys
which might to sold elsewhere
for higher prices. Some of the
items of sale might not even be
found elsewhere
Along the tables of imported
cheeses, plants, decorations
and jewelry are uncommon
trinkets.
One such item is a miniature
leather moccasin, strung on a
necklace, which a couple from
Sandersville considered buy
ing
“WE JUST came in to
browse.” Marvin Hightower, a
junior in the School of Business
said. “Titty have some pretty
nice stuff, but some of the
prices are steep.”
Lena Wiley, a sophomore in
the School of Education, called
the pricing "cheap.” •
She moved onto a display of
banks made in England. “I
need one I can’t open because I
always take my money out and
spend it," she said.
Looking at the array of
various crafts, which range in
price from "cheap” to
“steep,” neither Hightower nor
Wiley came to any definite
purchasing decisions.
They usually do most of their
Christmas shopping home,
they said. But they seemed to
enjoy the festive atmosphere of
the bazaar.
CHRISTMAS cards, cookies,
cheeses and ornaments have
been the best sellers so far,
according to a cashier working
at the bazaar.
However, a busy corner of
the Ballroom featured a
display entitled "Something
Special."
Here, interested and inquisi
tive students crowded tables of
hand-crafted Hawaiian jewel
ry
Attention was directed
toward Robert and Arda Elms,
who operate "Something Spe
cial.”
The couple from Hawaii
went into the business of
designing and making jewelry
there about a year and a half
ago and have been travelling
around the country, creating
and selling, after taking
temportary leave from home
last March.
The Elms buy all the
components for their shell
jewelry from Hawaiian whole
salers.
"Our shells are all dredged
off the ocean floors from all
over the South Pacific,” Elms
said.
An elegant mother of pearl
choker is tried on by women
continuously, according to
Elms.
“Ninety per cent of all our
jewelry can be worn by both
men and women," Elms said.
"The most popular for men,
though, is one of our more
expensive pieces—a black penn
shell and white clam necklace
with a hand carved mother of
pearl tusk.”
All of the "Something
Special" merchandise is guar
anteed against breakage. Elms
said, and since he’s been in
business, he’s had no com
plaints or returns. He attri
butes the* durability to the
seven strand stainless steel
wire on which all his shells are
strung.
Elms said he can custom
make anything to fit the
customer in less than five
minutes.
The Elms will be creating
their special somethings for
the duration of the bazaar,
which will end Thursday at 3
p.m.

An Almond Cream Puff Coffee
Ring won Grand Prize today in
the Northeast Georgia Lung
Association's bake sale on
competition. Of course, the
Coffee Ring only entered the
competition with the assistance
of the Kappa Sigma fraternity,
who baked it, and the Kappa
Delta sorority, who sponsored
the recipe.
The Cake Prize went to the
FIJI’S who submitted a Kappa
Alpha Theta recipe called Billy
Carter Cake. - - c -
The Chi Ph* fraternity put
together a Phi Mu concoction
known as Grandma Tinker’s
Award Winning Coconut Pie to
walk off with the Pie Prize,
and the Cookie Bar Prize went
to Yum Yum Bars, another
FIJI-f Theta production.
Finally, the award winning
recipe was submitted by the
Thetas: Eggnog Surprise Cake.
The Pastry Pageant is part
of the Lung Association’s
Christmas Seal campaign,
according to Maxine Griffin,
graduate student in public
relations. Griffin is a member
of a journalism class in which
the students provide voluntary
public relation work for
charity organizations.
The contest was held at the
First National Bank in Athens.
All the baked goods were to be
part of a bake sale held at the
Christmas parade sponsored
by the Athens Recreational
Department Tuesday night.
Judging the delicacies were
Frank Stancill. from the Lung
Association's Board of Direc
tors. Meg McGriff of the
Athens Banner-Herald, Charles
Burch, vice president of the
First National Bank and
Clarke County chairman of the
Christmas Seals campaign,
and Senator Burton.
The bake sale was set up so
that sororities submitted reci-
pies to fraternities, and the
men did the actual baking.
Griffin described the prize
winning Yum Yum bars as
“graham crackers with orange
and white stuff like icing, but
not as sweet as icing.” She
said that the Billy Carter Cake
was chocolate, but peanuts
were evident, and she observed
that the Eggnog Surprise cake
had "lots of rum.”

Court
rulings
ATLANTA (UPI)-The state
Supreme Court unanimously
upheld Tuesday the death
penalty for two Bainbridge
men found guilty of murder by
burying the victim alive.
The court also upheld the
election of Wyche Fowler to
the U.S. House of Representa
tives from the 5th Congression
al district and the death
sentence handed down in
another case.
In the Bainnbridge murder,
the court ruled the death
penalty was appropriate for
Joseph Edward Thomas and
Ivon Ray Stanley because the.
“sheer savagery’’ of the crime
would be “seldom, if ever”
exceeded.
Thomas and Stanley, both 21,
were convicted for killing
Clifford Floyd by burying him
in a shallow grave on April 12,
1976 According to testimony in
the original trial, Floyd was
beaten and shot several times
before being buried, but was
still alive and pleading for
mercy as dirt was thrown on
him.
Floyd died about 30 minutes
after burial.
The court turned down an
appeal by Wyman C. Lowe to
overturn Fowler’s election in
March 1977. Lowe, a defeated
candidate in the race, claimed
Fowler should have been
disqualified because he didn’t
resign as Atlanta City Council
president before running.
