Surrency returns
to his alma mater
By \l I.YSON II ARRIS
St.*ff writer
A new. yet old. face has
appeared »r. the law library
this quarter Edwin C Surren
cy has been named librarian
and professor of law at the
University School of Law
After 28 years as law
librarian at Temple University
in Philadlephia. Surrency has
returned to his home state and
alma mater, where he earned
three degrees.
Surrency will now take
charge of one of the 20 largest
law libraries in the United
States. Approximately 260,000
volumes rest on the library's
shelves.
An expansion of the library
will hopefully be funded within
the next two years, according
to Surrency The annex will
give the library an L-shape
and a bridge would connect the
addition to the old part, he
said.
Surrency has already set
several goals in his position.
First, he would like to see a
more effective organization of
the library. In order to
accomplish this aim. he will
follow his “use potential
theory"—making the most
used books the most acces
sible.
He also wants to see the
library “as complete and
comprehensive" as any law
library in the country.
“The escalation of book cost
demands a little more selectiv
ity in buying books,” Surrency
said. "One must not judge a
law library by its number but
by its content. ' he claimed
Thirdly, a computerized le
gal research system will hope
fully be installed in the law
school in the near future.
Surrency added
Georgia legal history is one
of Surrency's chief interests.
As a native of Jesup. Ga., he
hopes to be able to pursue this
interest now that he is back in
Georgia
Surrency is a former presi
dent of the American Society
for Legal History He is the
founder and only editor of the
American Journal of Legal
History, which he began 22
years ago.
He has also served as
president of the American
Association of Law Libraries
U S. Supreme Court Justice
Burger appointed Surrency to
the Committee on the History
of the U.S. Supreme Court.
The author of three books,
Surrency has written several
articles for law reviews and
journals throughout the coun
try
Surrency also served as an
advisor to the Nigerian govern
ment in 1975 and 1976, and
taught law librarians when he
was there. While serving as
visiting professor at Queens
University in Belfast. Ireland,
he wrote articles for the
Northern Ireland Law Quarter-
iy
Surrency succeeds Sewell M
Brumby who retired in June
after 17 years as library

Political party voices opinions about campus
By BETH SLAUGHTER
VOICE, the three-month-old
campus political party, met
Tuesday night for what Mark
Monroe, party chairman,
called a strategy session The
party discussed plans for
geti mg a possible 5.000 voter
turnout in the February S.G.A
elections which would "prove
to the administration that we
should be able to have the
power to control what we pay
into this university," Monroe
said.
The basic aim of the party
was not to support any
presidential candidate, but “to
save our own mentality."
Monroe said. He intends to
propose that the party may
support a presidential candi
date only by having a
two-thirds consent from the
party
The 45-member organization
supports 26 senatorial candi
dates.
The party will begin its
strategy Wednesday by estab
lishing student survey tables at
Memorial Hall, Graduate Stud
ies. and Journalism buildings.
Students will he asked to
comment on questions such as.
whether they favor a five
percent gradual increase in
tuition or a 25 immediate
increase, if the S.G.A. Consti
tution should parallel the U.S.
Constitution, and if the S.G.A.
should have power over
money.
The S.G.A Constitution is a
vague attempt to parallel the
national government according
to Monroe “The senate has a
great deal of control over the
executive office. I’ve always
been a constitutional revision
man.
“The election codes are too
strict and arbitrary. The
campaign rules are set up,
maybe deliberately, to hurt the
new face. As an example, the
election date was moved from
Feb. 15 to 14. Another thing is
that we can’t even • start
campaigning until three weeks
before the election. That really
doesn't give us much time to
exist,” Monroe said.
