24-hour bank
will be here
at bookstore
By TIM SWEENEY
Copy editor
Twenty-four hour banking will soon be
available on campus when the Citizens
and Southern National Bank installs an
instant banker outside the bookstore,
according to Joseph Broadhurst, director
of business services.
"Automated banking will become more
prominent in the future. Already other
colleges have similar bankers on their
campuses," he said.
Because of the liberal check-cashing
policies at the bookstore, there has been
little demand for such a service in the
past, Broadhurst said. Even with the
facility, many students will continue to
cash checks at the bookstore because
they do not have an account with the
sponsoring bank, he added
C&S was the only bank able to provide
the 24-hour banker when bids for the
service were requested. However,
Broadhurst said, space will be reserved
in the new student center for the other
local banks once they become automated.
The automated banker will be operated
under the Unviersity Bookstore auxiliary
service. C&S will rent the space from the
bookstore and pay for the installation
costs, Broadhurst explained.
The banker, which will be able to
provide for withdrawals and depo c its,
will face Baxter St. and be accessible at
all times.
Physical Plant personnel are doing the
installation work but at present
construction is delayed until the proper
brick is delivered, Ken Jordan, Physical
Plant director said.
The problem has been finding the right
brick to match the brick on the exterior
of the Bookstore, Jordan said.

WUOG loses power,
goes off air 60 hours
By SKIP IIL LETT
Assistant campus editor
Disappointed listeners deluged WUOG’s
phones this weekend as an equipment
breakdown forced the University’s radio
station to shut down early Saturday
morning.
The station resumed airplay after 60
hours of silence shortly after noon
Monday.
Neal Williamson, WUOG’s general
manager, said the problems erupted
when the plate transformer, which
changes AC to DC power before the final
output, blew out eariy Saturday morning
"It was a piece of machinery and the
machinery broke," Williamson said.
"When the transformer blew out, we
had no way to get the power out so we
were forced to shut down, Williamson
said.
"At four a.m., our engineers located
the problem and we ordered the piece
from Chicago. It arrived at noon Monday
and we were back on the air at one," he
said.
Williamson said the transformer cost
the station $600
The mishap was only the third time in
WUOG’s six-year history that the station
has had to leave the air because of
technical problems.
WUOG has no backup facilities to rely
on when such a problem occurs,
Williamson said. "That is one of the big
differences between our operation and
that of a regular commercial station," he
said.
Bulldogs upset Clemson, win 12—0
By STEVE BURGESS
Sports editor
For the second straight week, the
Georgia Bulldogs defied most of the
oddsmakers Thanks to a defense that
allowed the offense to control the ball as
the game wore on, Georgia whipped
18th ranked Clemson Saturday afternoon
12-0 in front of 60,000 in Sanford Stadium
“I’m happy to win any game where our
team is the underdog," head coach Vince
Dooley said in the happy Bulldog locker
room after the game. "Yes sir, we were
fighting like an underdog all day long.
We beat a team that is supposed to be
better than we are.”
Clemson contributed to their own
downfall by coughing up four fumbles,
and quarterback Steve Fuller threw two
interceptions that didn’t help matters.
But the Georgia defense deserves most of
the credit for shutting out a Tiger team
that exploded for 58 points the week
before.
Although the Bulldog offense scored
only one touchdown for the second
straight Saturday, they took control at

the start of the second half Leading 6-0
as the third quarter began, the Dogs took
the second half kickoff and drove 80
yards in 18 plays, using up more than
seven minutes in doing so. Jeff Pyburn
found Carmon Prince free in the end zone
on a third down and once at the Clemson
11-yard line. Pyburn was directed by
Dooley to for the two-point conversion,
but his pass to tight end Pay Norris fell
incomplete Surprisingly, the 12-0 lead
stood the rest of the way.
"That touchdown play was just a great
effort on Pyburn’s part,” Clemson head
coach Charley Pell said “Our man
caused him to lob the ball, and maybe
that's why it was successful."
"I SAID it back in July. Georgia is an
underrated football team, gentlemen.”
Pell added.
Things went right for the Bulldogs from
the outset. Clemson took the opening
kickoff but fumbled seven plays later
Cornerback Scott Woerner recovered at
midfield, and the Bulldogs were in
excellent position only four minutes into
the game Clemson held at their own 12
It’s toga time!
This group of sorority girls brought a little madness from Animal House to
Athens Tuesday night as they threw one of the first toga parties in the area The
party rambled up and down Milledge Avenue, visiting the many Greek houses
along the way. Undoubtedly countless other toga parties will soon crop up around
the University and college campuses across the country
“Most of the commercial stations can
have a spare transformer around,
whereas we can’t ask the University for
around $10,000 to have a backup system
which we can fall back on," he said
Williamson said the shutdown would
not hurt the station's programming
What about WUOG’s audience? "To
give you an idea. I was up here for about
three or four hours on both Saturday and
Sunday and the phone was practicality
ringing off the wall," he said
on a third down, so Dooley called on last
week’s hero, Rex Robinson, who split the
uprights from 29 yards. Georgia led 3-0.

another Tiger scoring threat was quelled
Georgia then moved 75 yards to the
Clemson 22. This gain included a 22-yard
explosion by Willie McClendon. McClen
don had his second 100-yard plus game,
gaining 120 yards on 24 rushes
On fourth down, Robinson was accurate
from 38 yards, and the Dogs took a 6-0
lead at the half.
"I thought we would have to beat
Clemson like we beat Baylor last week,"
Dooley said. “I figured they would score
about 14 points and that we would have to
score 16 or 17 to win.
"OUR DEFENSE played one of the
best games here in Sanford Stadium
since I’ve been here," Dooley added
"We shut down a good offense."

New drop-add process,
18-hour limit possible
By BILL KRUEGER
Assistant campus editor
Students who try to get though school quicker or try to catch up on their schooling
by taking overloads of 20 hours may suffer a setback if a proposal to limit students to
18 hours is approved by the University Council.
A proposal concerning changes in the drop-add and withdrawal procedures and the
academic advising program passed through the Academic Affairs Advisory Council
(AAAC) this summer and now needs only the approval of the University Council to be
implemented.
The main change proposed for the drop-add procedure is to set aside the fourth day
of each quarter primarily for drop-add The drop-add procedure will be centralized in
the Coliseum, instead of being held in departmental offices as it is now Classes will not
meet on drop-add day
If the proposal is passed, students will be limited to signing up for no more than 18
hours during pre- and late registration, unless students get specific exemptions from a
designated officer in each individual school. The three schools exempt from the 18
hour limit are Law. Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy The reason for the
exemption for these schools is “some of these students have to take excessive loads to
get done," Dr. Louise McBee, associate vice-president for academic affairs, said
If the proposal is passed the withdrawal period would be extended to the halfway
point of the quarter instead of curent three weeks limit.
ANOTHER PROVISION under consideration is to give a student an "f" if he fails to
follow the correct procedure for drop-add and withdrawal. Another provision asks
instructors to provide a course overview on the first day of class The overview should
inform students about the homework expected, the number of tests, instructor's office
hours and the grading procedure
Numerous suggestions have been made for changes in the academic advising
program. The first suggestion is that an advisor's workshop be held every fall
quarter, the first of which has already been held this quarter, according to McBee
Approximately 400 advisors attended the workshop. McBee said
The proposal also suggests that a system of rewards be set up for advisors one
possibility being recognizing advisors during a ceremony on Honors Day
One of the provisions is that the University Catalog be improved so that it .an
used as a tool for academic advisement. Students will be required to get their
advisor's signature before withdrawing from a course
The Iinal provision suggests that the academic advisors assist the Registrar in
monioring the 18-hour maximum credit load, especially at the end of the drop-add
period.
The proposal is due to go before the Education Affairs Committee of The University
Council on Oct. 3. The plan could be implemented as early as winter quarter if it is
passed by the University Council in time, according to McBee
"The Registrar (Dr. Bruce Shutt) has told me he could implement it (the proposal)
winter quarter," McBee said
The proposal is actually a refined version of a proposal submitted to the AAAC last
spring quarter by a special committee of student govrnment
The AAAC formed three Ad Hock committees to review the proposal and make
suggestions back to the AAAC The committee's reports were submitted to the AAAC
over the summer
Bookstore lines, dorm
noise part of UGA life

By SCOTT JACOBS
The scene resembled one of Dante's
more vivid notions of Hell.
Heat smothered the campus and made
ovens of the cars inching laboriously
through the streets Teeming masses of
vehicle surrounded the towerinR high-
rises like scurrying insects, while
hundreds of perspiring teenagers and
parents labored through the glaring sun
and crowded elevators with huge
burdens.
It was not a very favorable first
impression of the University of Georgia
and, if I had had the choice, I would
rather have executed an immediate 180
degree turn and fled homeward.
But the choice was not mine and so I
labored with the rest, sweat soaking my
clothes and stinging my eyes as the small
Creswell room filled with the meager
possessions of a UGA freshman
Fortunately, that first impression was,
as usual, misleading The more heavenly
aspect of the campus presented itself
soon after my arrival and, as hundreds of
dreamy-eyed freshmen can attest, the
UGA reputation for beautiful women is
well deserved
"The best part of UGA is walking and
watching," one freshman said know
ledgeably, his tongue lolling gently
against his chin as he regarded a belle's
tanned legs
The freshwomen seemed as equally
impressed by the variety of male
students on campus
“ With blond hair and shoulders THIS
wide,” one wide-eyed coed enthused to
another as the Creswell elevators closed,
her hands indicating proportions ap
proaching those of King Kong.
It took only a few embarrassing
hallway exposures, though, to drive home
the fact that caution is a necessary
ingredient in all close encounters of the
coed kind.
The next day I was appalled by what
seems to be a UGA trademark—long
lines
Actually, the meal card line was not so
bad I was rather pleased with that hour
and a half wait, thinking that the food in
Bolton must be pretty good to be so
popular It didn't take long to explode '
that myth.
Bookbuying had to be experienced to be
believed Squirming frantically through
masses of people while clutching 40
pounds of text books and having those '
same 40 pounds lengthen my arm by '
three inches in a two hour line is not my
idea of a merry shopping spree
I had no idea the human body was so
durable.
That final moment when the cashier '
rang up the total was really a surprise I
thought that S3.75 for a used paperback
was something that happened only in
movies like "Never Give A Sucker An
Even Break” or "The Sting," but no one
else seemed surprised so I paid the
usher-cashier without comment
For many freshmen, the most exciting
impression of UGA was the parties Big
parties, little parties, fraternity parties
sorority parties—the only thing they all
had in common was alcohol
I used to think that a grain party was a,-
quaint fertility ceremony for the crops
but I understand now that all things ari
not what they seem at UGA
The grain party I attended wa;
definitely a fertility ceremony, but it hai
nothing to do with crops Hunch-punch'
seems to be a very apt nickname for thi ‘
brew.
The second home game that pitted thi
Georgia Bulldogs and the Clemson Tiger
was also something else than I expected
