Former Jones follower fears
that she may be murdered
INDIANA. DA (CP8>-It
was. she says, a good idea
turned sour
Tern Buford especially liked
Rev Jim Jones* concept
of people banding together to
better the lives ol ghetto
residents in Los Angeles and
San Francisco But. of course,
it ended tragically
Terri Buford, though, is one
of the lucky ones. She lived to
talk about it Yet when she
does talk she worries out loud
that someone Temple dissi
dents. the government—may
l>c trving to kill her
Buford. 26. was an aide to
Peoples' Temple leader Jim
Jones, responsible until just
before the November mass
suicide in Guyana for some $H
million in Temple funds. She
recently visited Indiana Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, where
she studied during the summer
session of 1970. where her
father. Charles Buford, still
works as director of personnel,
and where she agreed to be
interviewed.
She returned saying that the
U S. government can claim at
least partial responsibility for
the 900 deaths at Jonestown
"They were constantly har
assing us." she recalls "The
rumor was that (Jones' got
people elected, which wasn’t
true I think they wanted to
discredit him before he did
become a real viable political
force "
Washington "knew there
were guns in Guyana They
knew there were drugs in
Guyana. The government knew
there was a suicide plan, that
there was a hit list. They knew
everything."
Buford, in the tragedy’s
immediate aftermath, was
named by several national
magazines as the Temple's
prime financial manager, and
(by Newsweek) as "probably
the key to unravelling" the
cult’s mysteries.
SG A book exchange needs
‘basic undergraduate texts’
To help University students buy and sell textbooks at better
prices than those the bookstore offers, the Student Government
Association is sponsoring a book exchange at the Student
Activities Center in Memorial Hall every afternoon until 4
The book exchange is a service of SGA designed to save money
for students and is free of charge
SGA senator Gregg Jocoy (AAS). key proponent of the book
exchange, said SGA is "working a clearing-house so that students
who have books to sell (can) bring them here to sell at higher
prices than the bookstore (could buy them).’’
Jocoy also said students can buy books at lower prices at the
book exchange
Presently, the book exchange has a total of 250 textbooks on
subjects including English, history, mathematics, chemistry,
economics, political science, geography and geology Jocoy
reported that the book exchange badly needs "basic low-level
undergraduate texts, "for courses such as English 101, Math 101,
and Biology 101.”
Jocoy has reported savings up to $30 per student at the book
exchange

Administration control of student allocations
was also an issue at the University of Georgia
this year. The newly-elected SGA president.
Harold Mulhcrin. was elected on an abolitionist
platform
Outgoing Student Senate President Billy Key.
who ran unsuccessfully against Mulherin. told
The Red and Black that SGA "lost its main
purpose" when University adminstrators re-as-
signed the task of club allocations The schools
and colleges now allocate money to associated
clubs, while funding for the larger groups
such as the University Union—is decided by an
admnistration-appointed committee.
"Allocations and student money were the
only real things the senate had to do.
complained former vice-president Debbie
Barnes.
Other senators polled by The Red and Black
found their government experience "discour
aging.” Students apparently found their
performance discouraging, too Earlier this
month, students voted 4-1 to abolish salaries for
senate officers.
A referendum for the abolition is slated for
next month Mulherin is confident that the
effort will succeed In his campaign, he has
emphasized that the $36,000 allocation to
student government could be used to treat
more pressing student concerns.
Muiherin’s gambit for more conscientious use
of student money speaks, more generally, of
the priorities of many students Observers have
noted that money issues, especially fee and
tuition increases, are certain to spark the most
interest.
Such was the case* at the University of
Colorado. The spring 1978 election brought out
one of the largest numbers of voters in recent
years 20 percent. Included on the ballot was a
referendum that would lower student fees
l»ast full, when there was no money issue on
the ballot, only six percent turned out
Students also feel helpless about the political
infighting that often marks student govern
ment That factor was a major determinant in
akxtlition efforts at Stanford, the University of
Northern Colorado, and Linn Benton Commun
ity College.
