PROPOSAL EXAMINED
Stadium may expand
By JUSTIN GILL1S
\ssistant campus editor
A 10.0(H) seat addition to Sanford Stadium could be built within
the next few years if certain questions are resolved, according
to Billy Hudson, director of campus planning
The campus planning office is working on models of the
stadium in an attempt to come up with a set of plans which
could be used for expansion The most favored proposal.
Hudson said, calls for a 10.000-seat, two-level addition in the
western end of the stadium
Athletic Director Joel Eaves cautioned that the stadium
expansion is merely a possibility at this point. Several factors
will have to be considered by the athletic board. Eaves said,
including the new Title IX regulations currently being revised
by the government
Title IX is a federal law which prohibits discrimination in
athletic programs on the basis of sex. College officials around
the country have complained that the regulations issued to
enforce the law are vague and unrealistic
Members of the athletic board are uncertain about the effect
of Title IX on the financial aspects of the athletic program,
according to Eaves
‘I am not optimistic about the lederal government coming
out with something more reasonable and something we can
understand." Eaves said about the revised guidelines
Officials point out that the key to operating the athletic-
program is season ticket sales, which give the board a financial
base on which to plan
The club level and upper level seats in the stadium were
added for the 1967 season because the demand for season
UclitincmM (Im aviilibtoapaca according to Bavaa while
the present demand does not exceed the supply, athletic board
members are watching the situation
If the Title IX question is cleared up. and season-ticket sales
remain good, the stadium expansion project would probably
receive serious consideration, according to Hudson
"We are ready to talk to the athletic board about this and see
which direction they want to go," Hudson stated He declined to
speculate on when the board would hear proposals, although he
pointed out that they would be meeting in late January
The planning office is trying to design a structure which
would Ik* aesthetically pleasing from the direction of the new
student center, according to David Lunde. assistant planning
director The new structure would block the view of the stadium
from the bridge Designers hope to make the seats attractive to
spectators by building them high, with good visibility
Both Eaves and Hudson declined to make any definite
predictions about the stadium expansion project Hudson said if
the athletic board should decide to proceed with the project, the
sc*ats could conceivably be ready by the football season of 1980
or 1981 "It would be great if we could have the plans done, the
bids taken, the contract signed, and the contractor going to
work the Monday after the Auburn game." he joked, adding
that it was not a likely prospect
"I would treat it as a possibility." Eaves said "I think you
would Ik* honest in saying it is a possibility that is being
studied."

Faculty to discuss minors Victims reported stable
By C INDY JACKSON
Staff writer
A resolution allowing students to form
a minor will be voted on by the Arts &
Sciences Faculty Senate Thursday
afternoon
The resolution, if passed, would allow a
student to form a secondary area of
concentration or minor hy taking 20
hours within a particular department or
program
This will Ik* done with the advice and
consent of the student's major professor
and of the minor department or program
The Senate will also vote on the
General Studies Committee s recom
mendation of a system-wide common
core. The proposal establishes a
minimum core curriculum for all
students graduating from Franklin
College
Dr A.G. Steer. Jr of the department of
Germanic and Slavic languages has
requested that the Senate vote on
whether to endorse a national resolution
in support of President Carter’s
promotion of studying foreign languages,
according to Dr John Algeo, a member
of the Senate Steering C ommittee
Steer said that the endorsement would
indicate that the University is interested
in improving the language program He
further stated that the language
department "wants to be a part of a
nation wide reassessment and improve
ment of language and area studies now
being endorsed by the President's
Commission."
The Senate will also discuss procedures
for the selection and functions of search
committees for department heads This
matter will be referred to the Bylaws
Revision Committee for action and they
will report back to the Senate at a later
date
This is a result of alleged violations by
Dean Jack Payne of appointing faculty
members to search committees which
suggest candidates to be considered for
vacant department head positions.
The American Association of Univer
sity Professors, which was asked to look
into the matter by members of the
physics department, referred it to the
Faculty Senate for study.
Payne feels that the bylaws will be
revised because "times have changed
and we need to have new directives" and
he is "pleased to get this cleared up."

Accident raises traffic regulations question
By NITA BIRMINGHAM
City editor
Sunday night's falal accident involving an Athens firctruck enroute to a fire and a
Ford Mustang has brouRhl forth questions concerning emergency vehicles and right ol
wav.
While local law enforcement officials are hesitant to comment on traffic regulations
pending investigation into the accident. Georgia law does establish .nme basic traffic
regulations regarding emergency vehicles
The t ode ol Georgia Annotated sets forth exemptions for the driver of an authorized
emergency vehicle when responding to an emergency call, when in pursuit of a
violator of the law and when responding to a fire alarm
Exemptions allow the driver to ' proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign but
only after slowing down as may be necessary for safe operation" and to "exceed the
maximum speed limits so long as he does not endanger life or property."
Homemade recipes
These exemptions apply only when the vehicle is "making use of an audible signal
and use of a flashing or revolving red light visible under normal atmospheric
conditions from a distance of 500 feet" to the front of the vehicle Law enforcement
visual signals would be blue
Section 68A-405 of the code is explicit in regard to the approach of an authorized
emergency vehicle making use of audible and visual signals or law enforcement
vehicle making use of an audible signal only
The driver of every other vehicle "shall yield the right of way and shall
immediately drive to the right-hand edge or curb of the roadway clear of any
intersection and shall stop" until the emergency vehicle has passed, unless otherwise
directed by a police officer.
The code also stresses that these laws do not relieve the driver of an authorized
emergency vehicle from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of all persons
using the highway
Cookies and Co. boasts of old fashion flair and specialty flavors
suffered 12 broken ribs, two collapsed
lungs, head injuries and a broken pelvis,
according to Mrs. Cooper
"There was a report last night that Dot
suffered no brain damage." and "she did
recognize some people this morning when
she opened her eyes." Mrs Cooper said
Both Mrs Cooper and Mrs Kendricks
expressed their appreciation of the
concern shown to them by students and
others in the area for their daughters
conditions "It meant a lot to all of us,"
Mrs. Cooper said.
