Gabig said the federal
money was provided by the
Urban Mass Transportation
Administration, which can
finance up to 80 percent of
eligible transit systems’ bills
Gabig described the registra
tion process for federal sub
sidies as “a tedious process
that takes months, sometimes
years.
"Most regulations are east to
meet, it is just the (amount of)
work.”
The system will add half a
dozen passenger benches and
shelters similar to those now
on the University in a building
process to start in six months.
Gabig said.
SIXTY NEW citj but stop
signs will also be erected.
Gabig added.
Gabig said the new benches,
shelters, and signs will be
partly financed by federal
mass transportation funds
All the new construction,
"will be a gradual process.”
Gabig said
Drop/add
lengthened
one day
Early and regular drop-add
will lx* extended next quarter.
At the Registration Advisory
Committee meeting Friday.
Registrar Bruce Shutt said the
present two-day regular drop-
add period will lx* expanded to
three days effective spring
quarter
Early drop-add. which lasted
one hour this quarter, will
receive a two and a half hour
slot.
The committee also discus
sed completion of incomplete
grades and unauthorized dele
tions and additions to grade
rolls.
Extension of the drop
add period was recommended
by the committee last month.
Univeristy Public Relations
Director Barry Wood said Vice
President for Academic Affairs
Virginia Trotter okayed the
change after consulting with
Shutt it was felt that two days
was not enough time for the
registrar to process it and for
the studen»s to register.” he
said.
In other matters. Shutt
clarified present policy on
making up incomplete grades.
The policy states the "I" must
lx* made up by the end of the
third quarter in residence after
the grade is received. How
ever. if a student registers for
a Quarter and then withdraws
from school, that quarter if not
counted as a quarter in
residence. Shutt said.
The committee also discus
sed class role correction
forms Shutt said these forms
are used by some professors to
replace drop-add The forms,
which are used to update class
rolls, are being used to drop or
add students to the roll
In an attempt to ease this
situation, students will receive
notices with their schedules for
next quarter saying if they
intend to drop a course, they
should drop it during drop add

Society holds all-nighter
By PHILIP SOUCY
It was "a credit to the State
of Georgia that integration
came off so peacefully at the
University,” Dean Emeritus
William Tate said Friday
night.
In an address before the
Demosthenian Literary
Society’s all-night meeting,
Dean Tate spoke on the
changes he has seen in the
University and Georgia. He
reminded the audience some of
the negative press coverage of
the school's integration in the
1960's was slanted or falsified.
He cited a photograph
showing himself making a
defiant gesture at the first
black coed, cowering in her
car. which was later proven to
have been faked by superimpo-
sition of,two photographs. He
said he was overall pleased
that integration went so well
considering the temper of the
times
TATE. 74. who retired as
Dean of Men in 1971 in his own
words "because of statutory
senility.” was making his 32nd
consecutive appearance before
the society. A robust, active
man. he showed few signs of
his age and shared his
thoughts on his 50 years with
the University in a strong
voice, easily filling the hall.
More than 130 people crowd
ed into the small lecture hall,
known as the “Upper Cham
ber” in Demosthenian Hall, to
hear the dean and other
speakers Many of those
present were former
Demosthenians and alumni of
the University
Among other speakers was
Aubrey Morris of WSB,
Atlanta, who spoke about
journalism and "plain speak
ing " He said journalists were
like thunder, “the drummers
who lx*at the skies for all to
hear ” Their role, he said, was
as Jack Anderson had pointed
out : “to poke the needle in and
let some of the air out of
people who have gotten too
inflated "
Dr. William Flatt. Director
of Georgia Agricultural
Experiment Station, spoke on
"crossroads.’’ emphasizing
that now is the time to deal
with tomorrow’s problems in
agriculture because the lead-
times for crop programs are
too long to put off any longer
He decried the recent action by
the Federal government which
cut funds for agricultural
research by $15,000,000.
IN ADDITION to integration.
Dean Tate spoke on three
major subjects: the change
from an agricultural to an
urban Georgia, the importance
of the University in training
leaders, and comparisons be
tween the University today and
in years past.
In 1870 farmers were 53
percent of the national popu-
ation, but in little more than
100 years that has been
reduced to eight percent. Tate
said During the same period
Georgia went through a
process of progressive urban
ization until, in 1955, the
number of urban dwellers
surpassed that of rural resi
dents for the first time. This
presented challenges which
both the state and the
University had to meet, he
said.
The University had met
those challenges by providing
the quality of education that has
produced six of the last nine
governors of Georgia, Tate
said He added the training of
leaders is one of the successes
of this University, citing the
fact that five of the top six jobs
in state government are
currently filled by University
graduates

1920-1924, Tate recalled tuition
was $40 per year, food in the
dining hall was $16 per month,
and the "activities fee” was
$14 per year which entitled the
student to The Red and Black,
a copy of the "Pandora,” and
admission to all athletic
events. Students today are
more sophisticated and have
more freedom than in the past,
he added
During the question and
answer period following his
speech Tito said Lt Gov. Zell
Miller had “a good chance” of
being a successful candidate
for governor is he serves a
second term under a re-elected
Gov. George Busbee.
Tate came out strongly
against standardization of the
core curriculum throughout
junior colleges. Currently,
some incoming graduates from
junior colleges who think they
should be first-quarter juniors
are finding that their previous
course work did not totally
fulfill the University “core
course curriculum" and they
will be required to take
additional courses. This often
means they will spend more
than two years completing
their college education. While
he admitted this was a
problem, the individual school
or college was responsbile for
the standards and work
necessary for the degree given
in the name of the school, he
said
ON A RELATED subject,
Tate said he was opposed to
regulation from the outside
that would force University
hiring and admissions pro
cedures into a quota system
based solely on percentages
from state population demo
graphics. His fear was that
blacks are not qualified is
sufficient numbers currently to
prevent a lowering of stan
dards to meet quotas that high.
Following the speaking pro
gram, which ended at 1 a m.
Saturday, the Demosthenian
literary Society conducted its
normal business, including the
induction of three new mem
bers upon completion of their
"maiden" speech and a secret
ballot by the members. Al
though the society is unique to
the University, there are
similar organizations at other
universities Representatives
from the University of North
Carolina al Chapel Hill were
present.
