Cost of SGA election
will use up $3000
allocated for expenses
The combined cost of the primary and run-off Student
Government Association elections held earlier this month will
approach the allocated $3000 an elections committee spokesman
said Monday
Claire Cornwell, elections committee co-chairman, said
although all bills have not been received, figures now available
indicate the $3000 will be nearly exhausted.
The election committee's allocation is about 16.6 percent of the
Student Senate's annual budget
Expenses for the elections included $1000 for ballots and
computer time. $1000 for poll workers. $300 for campaign poster
boards. $400 for publicity and $50 for supplies such as pencils.
Cornwell said
Tom Cochran. SGA advisor, said ballots and data cards to
program the computer for the election cost about $812. Computer
time to process the ballots will run about $200 more, he added
Neither Cochran nor Cornwell could give a date when all bills
would be given to the SGA.
Cornwell said. ”We hoped it was going to be less We didn’t
think about (the cost of ballots and computer time). We thought
we were doing real great ”
Students arrested
for suspected entry,
cases of beer stolen
to learn advanced scientific
technology from the developed
countries." Liu said.
Georgia Sen Brooks Pen
nington. said the delegation
was looking for ways to
increase food production in
their country.
“They’re feeding about a
billion people with less land
than we have here in the
United States And we only
have 200 million people to
feed." said Pennington, who
was part of an American trade
delegation that visited the
People's Republic of China last
October.
The delegation arrived from
Washington at Atlanta's Harts-
field International Airport Sun
day and were taken on a bus
tour of Atlanta before traveling
to Madison in preparation for
Monday’s tour of the 180,000-
square foot Pennington plant.
Liu said when he returns to
China he will share the
knowledge he gained from the
state's “mechanized” agricul
tural system
“The modernization of our
culture is our goal so we'll
have to modernize our agricul
ture and replace people with
machines," Liu said
The China delegation had Coke and pecans on their University tour
Liu, who said the Chinese
are not fond of American-
style pre-packaged and canned
foods but enjoy beer and cola,
said he found “Billy” beer—a
product named for President
Carter’s brother—to be quite
"tasty ”
He also said he w as impressed
by the “high level” of living in
Georgia and enjoyed seeing the
"beautiful cities and beautiful
countryside "
The Chinese were to leave
yesterday lor Memphis. Tenn..
where they will tour a cotton
seed firm before continuing to
examine a corn seed operation.
The group will then visit a
vegetable seed firm in Cali
fornia and return home

Forestry students’ training
and expertise will be needed in
the coming years to help
combat the environmental
crisis, according to Jane Yarn,
a member of the National
Council on Environmental
Quality. She spoke to over 100
forestry students and profes
sors at a convocation of the
forestry department Monday
afternoon.
“I believe that our ability to
survive these crises will
depend a great deal on people
like you,” she told the
students.
The upcoming environmental
crises are a result of trends
that exist world wide, accord
ing to Yarn.
“The resolute growth of
world population and the rising
expectations of peoples on all
continents are exerting intoler
able pressures on various
ecological systems,” she stat
ed.
Overuse and pollution of
resources are problems faced
by political leaders throughout
the world, according to Yarn
She claimed that during the
Carter administration much
National Council member Jane Yarn
has been done in solving some
of America’s environmental
problems.
The Council on Environ
mental Quality, of which she is
a member, is an advisory
council to President Jimmy
Carter
“For the first time since
Theodore Roosevelt, we have
a president with a long,
established interest in environ-
menatal matters," Yarn said.
Although the council has
concentrated on the problems
of toxic substances in the
environment, loss of prime
agricultural land and the
energy crisis, she noted that
Congress has adopted virtually
all the recommendations Presi
dent Carter made in his 1977
environmental message.
She also warned that people
living in rural areas should be
aware of the growing trend of
population movement from
urban areas to the country.
"Unless rural counties and
small towns develop the ability
to plan for the coming
growth—an ability they have
not needed in the past—then
we are going to see many of
the problems of urban and
suburban areas transplanted to
rural areas,” Yarn declared
“The outdoors has a very
special appeal to Americans,”
she explained. "It is also a
basic truth that America’s love
for nature has not always
resulted in the best use of
nature.”
She said there is a continuing
conversion of prime agricul
tural land from rural use to
urban use.
Between 1960 and 1979 it
caused more than three square
miles a day of prime farm and
forest land to be taken out of
production, she stated.
“What we have tried to
do—and what you, because of
your training, are in uniquely
good positions to help do—is to
encourage a better understand
ing among all people of the
relationship between them
selves and the natural world."
