NOT FINAL THOUGH
Initial allocations approved
By JUSTIN GILI.IS
Campus editor
More than $350,000 in allocation of
student activities fees, including cuts in
some student salaries and a $20,000
decrease in funding for the Contemp
orary Concerts Division, was approved in
preliminary hearings Wednesday night
The allocations committee voted to
recommend no salary for the president of
the Black Student Union, no salary
increases for staffers of radio station
WUOG. and a 10 percent cut in salaries
for members of the Student Judiciary
The $20,000 cut in funds for the
Univeristy Union's Contemporary Con
certs Division will not affect program
ming. according to committee member
Fred Brown The budget cut was imposed
by the division itself and will be
recovered in concert revenues. Brown
said
The Union received a total allocation of
nearly $190,000, which represents a 3.5
percent increase over last year's budget
The committee also recommended
more than $00,000 in allocations for
campus media, plus an additional
contingency fund of $16,000 for The Ked
find Black
Campus radio station WUOG-FM will
receive funds totalling nearly $34,000 if
the committee recommendation is
adopted
The committee instructed WUOG not to
increase student salaries for its staffers,
although the station had argued for
higher salaries on the grounds that
WUOC’s recent boost in power to 10.000
watts required harder work from
staffers
"I don't buy the argument that 10,000
watts makes for more programming."
committee member Keith Billingsley-
said
While The Red and Black had
announced the possibility of going
independent from the University as early
as next fall. Fditor Hope* Dlugozima said
the paper still requested the $16,000 as a
precautionary measure.
"We are sure this money is not going to
the operation of the paper." committee
member Tom Cochran said
The Ked and Black had no firm
time table for going independent, accord
ing to Dlugozima "We re uncertain
about if and when the paper will achieve
independence from the University,"
Dlugozima said
The funds for The Ked and Black do
not subtract from the total student
activities budget. according to
committee chairman Bill Mendenhall,
but would come from a student activities
contingency fund if needed
Impression magazine, a student
literary publication, will receive funds
totalling $1500 if the allocations recom
mendation is accepted Impression had
asked for money to fund the first issue of
the magazine, which will then raise
revenue through student sales. Last
year's allocations committee recom
mended zero funding for Impression on
the grounds it did not serve student
needs
The allocations committee is a group of
students, administrators and faculty
members charged with recommending
allocations for student activities funds to
the dean of student services.
The recommendations of the alloca
tions committee go to Dean of Student
Services Dwight Douglas, who may alter
the funding recommended by the
committee The final student activities
budget must be approved by the Board of
Regents.
Mendenhall stressed the allocations
committee recommendations are not
binding The committee will deliberate
again tomorrow and could change its
position on budget allocations.
Mendenhall said
According to student member Joan
Dawson, however, the Wednesday
recommendations are likely to go to
Douglas in their present form.

Cook acknowledges changes in law
but ‘ system still has its problems ’
By SALYNN BOYLES
Staff writer
Georgia criminal lawyer Bobby Lee
Cook told a group of pie law students
Tuesday night they "had better be
suspect of the government " if they want
to go into the practice of law
Speaking to the Pre-Law Club. Cook,
who has defended many controversial
clients throughout 30 years of practicing
lawr, said in spite of the fact that things
have changed for the better in recent
years, the judicial system still has its
problems
He told the students it was wrong for a
professional to reject cases because they
might be unpopular "Get out into the
field and have the courage to do what you
think is right.” he said "Don't steer
away because a case is unpopular or it
hits you in the pocket ”
Cook is presently handling the defense
of convicted pomographer Mike Thevis
Thevis is accused of trying to monopolize
the country's pornography industry
through a series of illegal activities
including murder, arson and mail fraud
Right now the case is in a holding
pattern." Cook said after his speech,
adding that he was trying to get a change
in venue for the trial He said he wants
the trial moved out of Atlanta because of
the "awesome publicity" the Thevis case
has received Cook expects a ruling on
the location change in the next two or
three weeks
Although he called it a "dirty, serious
business." Cook said the criminal law
field was the most vital area of law and
added that 1953 was the beginning of the
"criminal law evolution" in the U S.
He said Supreme Court rulings after
1953 changed the meaning of the 4th. 5th
and 6th amendments from empty-
phrases" to true rights Sighting the
Miranda decision as an example. Cook
said the changes were overdue and the
rights were undeniable. "There was
nothing revolutionary about the Miranda
decision." he said
He charged that the Burger court had
"muddied the waters" in the area of
constitutional rights by making am
biguous rulings on constitutional issues
"I have a great dissatisfaction with the
constitutional inroads the Burger court
has made." he said "Everything the
Warren court did the Burger court is
undoing "
Having watched courts throughout his
-H) years as a lawyer. Cook said "even
wllli the catastrophic* the Buiger court
has wrought." he still has hope for the
Supreme Court "Things are a hell of a
lot better than \ hen I was in law
Bobby Lee Cook
he said
Cook urged pre law students to get a
broad education before entering law-
school A first rate lawyer needs to be
welt versed in a variety of subjects, he
sjid Anything you learn in under
graduate school can hold you and you can
draw from it in a legal career "

OTHER ATHENIAN MURDERED
Man found dead along tracks
By TOM KELLEY
Staff writer
A man was discovered dead Tuesday at
11 p m on the tracks of the Seaboard
Railroad, and a man who was shot died
while being treated in an emergency
room Tuesday night. Athens police
reported
Bobby Eugene Johnson, age 40. of 465
Nachoochee Ave , was apparently hit by
a train and was found dead by a
Seaboard Railroad worker at a section of
track known as Fowler Junction, near the
end of College Avenue The man was
taken to Athens General Hospital and
pronounced dead Wednesday at 12:16
a.m. Police are still investigating the
incident.
However, a spokesman for the railroad
in Jacksonville. Fla . said there were no
indications the man had been struck by a
Reaction over
tuition hike
is mixed
By CINDY J ACKSON
Assistant campus editor
Although student reaction to the tuition
hike for fall quarter is mixed, the
University admissions office sees little
effect on next year's enrollment as a
result of the increase.
"We don't anticipate it (the increase>
havinp any effect." Associate Director of
Admissions Claire Swann said. "Our fees
are still lower than schools of our type
anywhere." she added
The regents passed a five percent
tuition increase for in-state students and
a ten percent increase for out-of-state
students at the April meeting of the
board.
Many students currently enrolled will
be feeling a pinch with the increased
fees
“It’s going to hurt me." Kim Allen, a
junior in the business school said "I'm
already having trouble, but I guess I’ll
just have to pay it
Others think that the tuition hike is
unjustified "I believe the Regents could
have gotten the money from somewhere
else." a junior in Arts and Sciences said
However, some feel the increase is
necessary "I think it's good because
there's no such thing as getting
something for nothing." Hartford
Cambell, an A&S senior said
But he does think the difference for
in state and out-of-state tuition increases
w as unfair to the out of state students
Students receiving financial aid will be
given an increase in the amount they
receive proportional to the amount of
tuition increase, according to Ray Tripp,
assistant director of financial aid
Students receiving loans will get an
increase equal to the amount of the
tuition h.ke. but students on grants will
only get a proportional amount depending
on each individual case. Tripp said
"An increase in tuition will also
increase the work study award." he said
In addition to the tuition hike, students
will be pay ing an increase of $5 in
athletic fees
The money will be used to "try to fund
a program specifically to cover increased
cost in the women's athletic program,”
Athletic Director Joel Eaves said
Inflation is another reason for the
athletic increase, he added
Out of the 10 schools in the
Southeastern Conference, only three
• including the University!, have to rely
on allocated funds for the women's
athletic program. Eaves said
Although the other seven schools get
their funds from the universities
themselves. "Georgia ranks no higher
than seventh in athletic income." Eaves
said
train Public Relations Representative
Owen Price said that two trains working
in the area reported seeing a trespasser
but that no accident was noted Both
trains were later checked for evidence of
an accident and no indications were
discovered.
In the other incident. Thomas T Tory,
age unknown, of Athens, was found
outside a West Washington Street address
with several gunshot wounds, police
reported He was taken to Athens
General Hospital, and died in the
emergency room
Police reported the death as a murder,
but no suspect has been named yet The
incident is still under investigation by
Athens police.
Another person. James Franklin
Thurnton. age 67. of Winterville. was also
shot in the hip in the incident and was
treated and released at Athens General
A man was cut in the face with a
broken glass by an unknown person
Tuesday night at the Mad Hatter. 450 E
Hancock Ave The man was taken to
Athens General for treatment, and has
stated he will take a warrant for arrest of
the subject when he is identified
An Athens man was cut with a knife
allegedly by a Margaret Willowby, age
H 1 neighbor of his in Athens Arms
Apartments The man was taken to
Athens General and treated and released
The man has stated he will take a
warrant for the woman's arrest.
