The Committee of the Whole
City Council voted Tuesday
night to disapprove the sale of
alcoholic (leverages in food
stores The issue will he
up for final approval or
disapproval at next month’s
council meeting
The motion to allow food
stores to sell beer and wine
tailed by a 6-4 roll call vole of
the committee
The Committee of the Whole
is a procedure in which normal
parliamentary rules are sus
pended to allow all council
members to participate in the
discussion of a motion before
sending it to the regular
council.
Under normal rule, motions
are proposed to the council by
committees comprised of only
a fraction ol the councilmen
The thumbs-down vote fol
lowed comments made by a
local package store owner, who
asked the committee not to
endanger his business by
allowing lood stores to sell
lieer and wine.
The regular council advised
the Rohinson-Humphrey Com
pany. an Atlanta firm, io draft
plans for a water-sewer
deferred sinking fund invest
ment system. The council will
vote later whether to accept
I he system
A Seiler from Kobinson-Hum-
phrey to the council stated the
city could save $1 8-S4.5 million
in reduced debt between 1978
and 2002 by using the sinking
fund
The letter stated the sinking
fund was a method of using the
interest from bonds secured
from the federal government

'If something develops. Dr.
Curtis will call and let me
know .” Cornwell said. ‘‘It’s my
job to get more student input.”
Clearly, there are problems
with the University health
services. Many students are
not happy paying for a service
they never use Some have
said they don’t “trust” the
health services practices
And those students' input
seems to come solely from a
student government which
does not always command a lot
of respect from the student
body and constantly faces
charges that it is not repre
sentative.
With medical costs sky
rocketing. it appears that the
health services will be faced
with continued financial pro
blems in the future.
“EVERYTHING COSTS
more,” Curtis said. “We have
a young, healthy population
but they still get sick
“Our student use has de
clined, but we would like to
think that we are getting to the
people before they need to be
hospitalized," he maintained.
"We try to emphasize preven
tion and early intervention."
Additionally, Curtis said that
there is no provision for
University health centers
under the current proposals for
National Health Insurance
to pa> the interest on city
debts The principal from the
federal bonds could be used to
pa> city debts in full, the letter
slated.
To the extent that the
interest earned on the invest
ment in the sinking fund
exceeds the interest payable
on the term bonds, the issuer
will realize a savings, since
that excess can he applied
toward interest payable on
other, non-sinking fund bonds.”
the letter added.
An article from The Daily
Bond Buyer, a copy of which
was included in the letter to
the council, said the sinking
fund “is not a new concept
in industry and was widely
used by local governments
until the 1930’s when a number
of officials were found divert
ing the money from the sinking
fund to meet other expenses."
Back in the Committee of the
Whole, council members pas
sed a motion to recommend to
the council legislation amend
ing current penalities for the
illegal sale of alcoholic bever
ages to minors.
The committee recom
mended if a package store
owner is convicted twice in
three years of selling beer or
wine to minors, the owner
would lose his license for one
year.
Back in the regular council.
Mayor Upshaw Bentley used
his council vote to break a tie
among the councilmen. and so
deny a liquor license for a
store at 3875 Jefferson Avenue.
The license had been pro
tested by the Serepta Baptist
Center and a nearby Baptist
church Spokesmen said grant
ing the license would cause a
traffic hazard on Jefferson
Avenue and adversely affect
the morals of the neighbor
hood.

Staff writer
An Athens pathologist and a
University professor feel the
debate over health care in the
United states boils down to a
question of federal control
Dr Larkus Presnell, patho
logist. and Dr.Charles Mason
<>! the Department of Health and
Physical Education debated
Wednesday on federal inter
vention in health care before a
sparse SPJ audience.
Presnell said he is wary of
federal control. "I would
rather leave the responsibly
to those who are better trained
than to pass it off on the
federal government."
Mason does not believe in
total federal control, but he
does think some federal
regulation of the health care
industry is needed
Health care problems exist
in accessability, availability,
quality and cost according to
Mason. He attributes rising
costs to the rapid growth of
medical technology, increased
expectation by consumers and
what he terms fractionalization
in the medical profession. "Wc
have specialists for just about
everything." he said.
Mason added health costs
have increased in the last 15
years at a rate Pftice the
inflation costs for food, clothing
and transportation.
“To deal with the problems
of cost control, we have to
have some sort of federal
regulation," Mason said.
Presnell agrees health care
expensive, but he doesn't
believe government interven
tion will reduce the cost. He
said although 9 percent of the
gross national product was
spent on health care last year.
$42 46 billion was spent by the
federal government.
"Much of the money went for
planning and administrative
costs.” he added.
The money spent on rcgula
tion is necessary. Mason said,
because the health care
industry does not regulate its
own costs. “Hospitals compete
for the best physicians" and
the cost is passed directly on to
consumers, he said
Mason spoke favorablv of the
National Health Resources
and Development Act.
passed recently by Congress,
which provides regional con
trols on hospitals and health
care institutions. The act
establishes a nationwide sys
tem of 205 health system
agencies.
Each agency is made up of
people from health fields as
well as consumers of these
services. Mason said these
agencies should provide oppor
tunities for physicians and
patients to communicate and
will provide some degree of
local responsibly
Although specific proposals
for federal control of health
care were not discussed.
Presnell said government

would probably control health
care by setting nrices and
closing unnecessary hospital
beds. Yet, he said, the
oversupply of hospital space is
a direct result of government
intervention
Federal money was made
available 10-15 years ago to
build more hospitals, because
of a bed shortage. "Now we
have too many beds,” he said.
'Without government interven
tion, this might not have
happened "
Presnell believes a national
catastrophic health insurance
program to cover patients with
serious or prolonged illnesses
could Ik* implemented because
it would involve only two to
three percent of the United
States
Mason also supports this
plan, and said. “I feel a
program that would pay all or
most types of bills would be
workable."
“I think it (national health
caret will occur in some form
or another within the next two
or three years.’’ Mason added.
