Rudd gives remarks
By HILL KRUEGER
Staff writer
‘Go to law school,” was
the advice given to aspiring
journalists by Hughes Rudd,
CBS news correspondant
and anchorman of the CBS
Morning News.
Rudd spoke Thursday
morning at the 33rd Annual
Georgia Radio and Televi
sion Institute being held at
the Georgia Center for
Continuing Education this
week.
Rudd talked for about 15
minutes and then fielded
questions from the crowd
for an hour. Questions
ranged from what he
thought al>out Barbara Wal
ters and Howard Cosell, to
the Middle East, to his work
in Moscow.
The talk, for the most
part, was general and had
light overtones.
i WOULD not advise a
college student to try and
pursue a career in journal
ism. It’s too hard to find a
job. That’s why I say go to
law school.” Rudd said in
an interview with The Red
and Black
“It’s a lot harder to get a
job on a newspaper now
than when 1 began Bui
newspaper work is the way
to learn the trade. Don't
start out working in a
television or radio station.”
Rudd advised
“The only way someone
should try to make it in
journalism is if he has a
seperate income, like a
father that owns a television
station that he can inherit
Otherwise you’ll be working
for someone else the rest of
your life. And that someone
else is usually a jerk.”
Rudd added.
"Journalism is a very
seductive trade, because it’s
fun It’s merely an elevated
form of gossip.” he said.
“I SUSPECT that journal
ism is the second oldest
profession, with prostitu
tion. of course, being the
first. What probably hap
pened was some girl was
screwing some guy for
money, and then somebody
else came up and wrote
about it for money,” he
said.
When asked how the press
could be improved, he said.
“The writing could get a lot
better. The writing now is
appalling and it's getting
Iludd speaks
bv DONNA MINCEY
worse 1 doubt that it can lie
reversed.”
The role of the press
today is to tear the heads
off the politicians. If it
wasn’t for the press the
politicians would steal the
public blind.” Rudd said.
“The public doesn’t pay
much attention.” he added
When asked about the
effects of Watergate on the
press. Rudd said, “It got a
lot of young people excited
and got them interested. It’s
very rare that a Watergate
comes along
•ANOTHER THING it did
was to get the public to
trust the government a lot
less. It’s good that they do
have less trust, because the
government is our biggest
enemy.”
“If you are persistant on
trying to make it in
journalism, then learn as
much history and English
as possible. The mechanics
of journalism can be
learned in two to four
weeks. So history since 1918
or English literature are the
best minors for a journal
ism major.” he said
In his talk Rudd told
about his most embarras
sing moment as a reporter.
““It was when John Glenn
went into orbit and I was
supposed to cover it live
from his parent s home.
“It was a very cold day
out. so I put on my warmest
pair of pants, some old gray
flannels. When I tried to zip
my fly the zipper disinte
grated, it was so old. So I
went out on national televi
sion trying to hide my
bustod fly, he said.
IN' ANSWERING the
questions from the crowd he
said he “felt Barbara
Walters is a great inter
viewer but a terrible anchor
person."
“Roger Mudd will probab
ly take Walter Cronkite’s
job when he steps down.”
he said. “Nothing will
happen in the Middle East"
and he was “disappointed in
the job President Carter
had done” were other
comments he made.
He described Lyndon B
Johnson as "someone who
could scare you to death.”
Richard Nixon was des-
cribed as “someone easy to
laught at.”
Rudd attended the Uni
versity of Missouri. Univer
sity of Minnesota and
Stanford. He worked on a
couple of small papers
before moving on to CBS as
a newswriter. He then
moved on to become
correspondant in such pla
ces as Bonn. Berlin, Mos
cow and Vietnam. In 1973 he
moved to his current
position as anchorman of
the morning news
‘Flushing away

(’lint Eastwood seems to be
flushing himself down the
toilet. The so-called replace

1(H) far from his Western style
in his las', two movies His fans
are losing face with him after
The Enforcer and now The
(.amulet His success has gone
to his head, lie has not only
starred and directed in his last
two movies, but had them
produced by his own company.
The movie is action packed
from the beginning to the end.
It is ridiculously more action
packed than a James Bond
movie Clint Eastwood plays

is known lor getting his job
done.
He's given an assignment to
go to Las Vegas and get one
Gus Malley 'Sondra Locke i
trom the Vegas jail and bring
her to Phoenix for a trial
Little did hd know the new
Phoenix Police Commissioner
and District Attorney were
friends of the mob and wanted
Malley killed on the way so she
wouldn't testify against them
and the mob.
Shockley, thinking he is
smart, arranges to leave in an
ambulance and then gets in a
rented car he had left in a
deserted area. The car ex
plodes when the ambulance
driver checks it out The mob
chases them and Malley shoots
at them, forcing the mob car to
wreck They hide out in
Mallcv's house while Shockley
calls in to the commissioner
asking for help. In no time the
house is surrounded by an
army of cops who fill the house
so full of lead it collapses, but
they escape through a secrj
passage.
After escaping from (fo
house, they hijack a poi, C)

Realizing this could becomi
another possible set up, thtj

Shockley confiscates a nit

After riding the motorcyck 1

Rain puts damper on pool

By JOHN VARDEMAN
The recent abundance of rain
in Athens has become a
“damper” on construction
work planned for Legion Pool
Bad weather has temporarily
halted work on expanding the
deck area along with repairs
on the vacuum system of pool,
according to Earl Cashon,
operations specialist of Student
Activities.
The deck area will eventual
ly he expanded 15 feet on the
south end of Legion Pool
"There has been a problem in
that there is no room to walk
(around the pool),” Cashon
said.
All of the existing deck area
has been broken up and will be
resurfaced. The old deck,
which was uneven and worn,
needed to be replaced, accord
ing to Cashon.
Work also will be done to
replace the pipes of the
vacuum system. The pipes
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?'

had saved, asking the dale It appeared and making this
comment "We need this today Evary church member
should reed thte, pastor, and all." We agree, and are reprin

This question Is the opening words of The Second Psalm

Those Interested are Invited to consider some of God's
(udgmenls regarding worship, as there la considerable con
troversy In this matter these days;
There was a man named Cain. Ha came to worship God
and brought an ottering. God did not want what he brought
and would not accept II Cain got mad. Cain killed hit brother
Abel. The final outcome of Cain's worship was a curse and
not a blessing — Genesis 4:2-12.
K Ing David, the man after God’s heart. In moving the Ark ol
God had a new cart made and hitched oxen to it. God had
commanded that it should be moved only on the shoulders of
the priests and Levltes. The oxen stumbled! An attendant
named Uzza caught hold of It. God struck him dead! 1st
Chronicles. 13th chapter. No doubt the intentions ol both
David end Uzza were good, hut profaning of that which was

have not been replaced since
the pool was built in the 1930s,
Cashon said.
Legion Pool’s vacuum sys
tem has been out of order for
two years. A portable vacuum
has been used during this time,
Cashon said.
In other work, the shelter
which stands on the south end
of the pool will lie enclosed
“Picnic tables will be provided
for students who wish to
lunch,” Cashon said. Students
will be able to eat and stay out
of the sun by going inside the
shelter, he added.
At the moment, an empty
Legion Pool quietly sits sur
rounded by broken rubble,
mud, wood and a lot of plastic
covering No work can be done
until the water which is
standing around the pool area
has dried, according to Ca
shon
"The weather has been a
tremendous problem. It is our
number one enemy at the
moment I am crossing my
fingers that we will be able to
complete the work by April.”
Cashon said.
There is a possibility opening
of the pool will be delayed if
the weather continues to bring
more rain to the area, Cashon
said.
"Right now we are opening
the pool up to see what needs
to be done and how much money
it will involve. Adjustments
will be made as we get into the
work,” he said.
The Physical Plant at the
University will be working on
expansion of the deck area,
rennovation of plumbing, deck
drainage, constructing a fence
and other necessary repair
work, according to Jordan.
“Weather has really been
hurting our work," Jordan
said Legion Pool’s small,
restricted area has also
prevented the use of heavy
machinery, he added.
Plastic sheeting now covers
much of the pool area to dry
the area. But. so far, the
continuing rain and had
weather seem to be winning
the battle.
A good balance
By MIKE ROBERTS
Assistant city editor
Man must find a balance
between his economic system
and his ecological practices to
succeed with environmental
conservation, the head of the
University’s Institute of Eco
logy said Wednesday.
“Our problem is to find a
good balance” between the
short term monetary benefits
and long-term human needs for
resources. Dr. Eugene P.
Odum said to the Athens
Rotary Club.
Odum told his luncheon
audience manufacturers are
beginning to seek that balance.
A German company had
been “kicked out’’ of South
Carolina when the state
learned the chemical plant the
company was to build had
inadequate pollution-control fa
cilities, Odum said.
•INDUSTRY IS recogni
zing,” Odum said, “that it is in

its best interest to optimize the
whole,’’ to think in terms of
balance.
The Professor further said
the same company had ac- •
quired land near the Savannah
River for a chemical plant and
this time company officials are
proceeding more carefully with <
the development of waste-
treatment devices.
Those devices would, with
the advice of a team of
ecologists, protect from ruin
the marshland near which the
plant would be constructed.
Odum said.
Odum added that marshes
are valuable because they can
change pollutants into harm
less or useful substances
through chemical reactions
with elements in the ground
Though he later conceded to
The Red and Black “There is
no solution for environmental
problems,” Odum told the
audience he was in favor of
governmental protection of the
environment.
"Some regulation is good,”
he said.
W HEN ASKED his opinion of
the job done so far by the
Environmental Protection Ag
ency, Odum replied for a
recently organized regulatory
body it was performing well.
The professor also had good
words for former Gov. Lester
Maddox. He was “a good
friend of conservation,” Odum
said.
