Working her way
...but not the way most
By GEORGE WATSON GAY
Many students at the University find
it necessary to take part-time jobs to
meet the high cost of education. These
jobs range from production work at
DuPont to bartending.
But one young woman has an unusual
part-time occupation: she is a prosti
tute.
She calls herself Pat Pat is a senior at
the University and has pursued her
trade for nearly four years.
"When 1 was living at home, I never
thought that one day I’d be earning my
living this way," Pat admits. "1 was
raised in the Baptist church and we
weren't allowed to discuss sex. let alone
be paid for it."
Pat got into the business of selling
her favors shortly after arriving in
Athens for the first time. For her. the
tight job market and inconvenient hours
did not hold much promise.
“I TRIED all of the usual things for a
while. 1 ran a cash register and waited
on tables." she says. "But those jobs
always caused a conflict with my classes
and I never had enough time to study.
Besides, the pay wasn't very good."
High pay is undoubtedly one of the
attractions of Pat’s job.
"I get $75 a trick.” she says, "and
even on bad nights 1 can make over
$300."
And the hours are good.
"1 have to work only a couple of
nights a week. If 1 want a weekend off. I
just take it. 1 don’t have to worry about
asking for time off or getting a replace-
“I GET a checkup every six weeks."
she says. "And I'm a coward. If 1 start
having any problems. 1 get to my doctor
as soon as I can."
Although Pat is entitled to use the
services of the University’s Gilbert
Health Center, she prefers a private
physician.
Pat prefers to remain as unobtrusive
as possible. Her discretion has not
affected her income, however.
"I’ve had people tell me. ‘You don’t
look like a hooker.’ Bui what docs a
hooker look like, anyway? Flashy
clothes and flashy make up? If I looked
like that. I’d probably be better off
wearing a neon sign.
“I TRY not to look any different from
any other woman on the street. In this
business, the last thing a girl wants to
do is attract a lot of attention to
herself."
It would probably be unsafe for Pat to

Homer C. Cooper supports former Dean Hardy Edwards
A&S Senate passes
Edwards motions
By CATHERINE RODRIGUE
Staff writer
The Arts and Sciences faculty senate
approved by large majorities Thursday two
resolutions praising former Graduate
School Dean Hardy Edwards and urging
the Board of Regents to grant Edwards’
request for a hearing on his firing.
"The elected faculty senate of the
Franklin College of Arts and Sciences...
urges the Board of Regents...to grant the
request for a hearing of Professor Hardy
M. Edwards Jr.," said a resolution
sponsored by Dr. Homer C. Cooper
(sociology). A copy of the resolution, which
passed by a 30 to 6 margin, will be
forwarded to the Board of Regents.
Edwards' reassignment is an "issue-
oriented matter that must be heard at some
level." Cooper said in support of his
resolution. Cooper added "major changes
in the Graduate School affect all other
schools on campus."
"1 think this body is the policy-making
body of Arts and Sciences. Since we are an
elected body by no means could we be
thought of as unrepresentative." Cooper
said.
"Regardless of whether he has done a
good job. the graduate dean of the
University should be able to speak to the
Board of Regents and they ought to
listen." one faculty member added.
“I HAVE some problem with having the
Board of Regents solve our internal
problems." said Dr. Numan V. Bartley
(history). He added he is "not sure the
faculty senate should be involved."
The issue needs to be brought out into
the open, one faculty member said.
"Healthy things may come out of a
hearing."
The senate also considered and adopted
a certificate program in German studies.
The new program will ‘ provide students
with the opportunity to study for certifi
cates in German studies in addition to their
departmental major or major field of
study," the proposal said.
"The faculty senate of Arts and Sciences
commends the outstanding performance of
Hardy M. Edwards Jr. as dean of the
Graduate School for the past seven years,"
said a second resolution sponsored by Dr.
C. Dewey Cooper (physics). A copy of the
resolution, which passed by a 30 to 3 vote
will also be forwarded to the Board of
Regents "through the proper channels."
Dewey Cooper said he and Edwards
differed at times, but Edwards "listens to
reason. He brought the faculty members
into the review and decision-making
process." Cooper said. Edwards realizes
"the quality of an academic program must
ultimately be determined by the faculty."
he added.
ONE FACULTY member expressed his
reservations, citing a section of the resolu
tion which he considered indicative of a
"dispute between two people." "The
president cannot give his opinion." the
senator stated. “Total ignorance seems to
reign. I'm put in the position of cither way
making a fool of myself." he added.
"The president had every opportunity
and every channel to state the non-person
al reasons" for Edwards' reassignment.
Homer Cooper rejoined. He said Edwards’
removal is the type of issue "that can be
fully talked about in a community of
academic scholars." adding it is the
"president's duty" to discuss such issues
with the faculty.
Arts and Sciences Dean William J.
Payne said before debate began he had
"personal misgivings" about considering
the resolutions.
"They were given to the steering
committee so we will consider them,
Payne said.

Lawyer forwards letter
in Shelledy-Dayan suit
By NELSON d. ROSS
Staff writer
Athens attorney Hue Henry Wednesday sent a letter to U S. District Judge Wilbur
Owens asking him to rule on the awarding of attorney's fees in a lawsuit by University
students Marshall Dayan and David Shelledy, and Thursday he reaffirmed his client's
intention to appeal the judge's ruling against them on other points
C vens in May ruled against the students claim that the Board of Regents policy.
. which requires the approval of institution presidents before a student can speak to the
regents, is unconstitutional.
The students filed the suit after unsuccessful attempts last fall to speak before the
board about their dissatisfaciton with a proposed core curriculum policy of the
. University system.
After the suit was initiated, University President Fred Davison, who had originally
failed to foreward the students' request as required by the regents policy, finally
forwarded the request to the chancellor of the system.
The board initially denied the request to speak, but later granted Dayan’s request to
speak against the speaking policy itself.
Both students were allowed to speak at the December meeting, with Shelledy
speaking on the core curriculum proposal and Dayan speaking about the speakers
policy.
Shelledy and Dayan's suit argues the policy infringes on their First Amendment right
of free speech and violates the equal-protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Owens ruled the policy did not “offend the First Amendment.“
The students’ argument that the policy was also “applied unconstitutionally” was
"mooted by the'voluntary compliance” of the regents, according to Henry.
Dayan said Thursday they have “every intention of appealing" the judges' ruling
aginst them.
"I believe he wasn't fully aware of our arguments...from his ruling it appears that
' way,” Dayan said.
"I don't think he took enough time in our case, once he got to it, even though it took
him a long time to get to it," Dayan added
Shelledy and Dayan are still soliciting contributions to their "Free Speech Task
• Force" to help them pay the costs of their lawsuit.
“Initiating a lawsuit is an expensive proposition; justice isn't cheap,” Dayan said.

Guns banned in housing
By JIM GANNAM
City editor
Students with firearms have two legal
options, according to campus police—store
the guns off campus or check them in with
the University Police Department.
"We have no desire to prevent students
who are hunting and shinning enthusiasts
from participating in these spurts, but the
University firearms regulation must be
followed." University Police Chief David
Saye said
According to the Fire aims section ol the
Univcrsits Conduct Regulations. ‘Stu
dents are prohibited from possession #of
firearms on University property except
with the permission from the Depanment
off Public Safety
University propens is imerpreted by
campus police as meaning residence halls.
University parking lots, fraternities, soror
ities, farms or other University buildings
Saye cited the recent shootings of
several University of South Carolina
students by another student, and the
recent thefts of two guns from cars parked
in University parking lots as evidence of
the need (or this regulation
"Students who bring guns to Athens on
a long-term basis should make arrange
ments to store them off campus with a
tcsponsiblc person." Saye said.
Students who bring guns to town for
short periods of time can store them in the
gun locker at the University Police
Department. These guns can be turned
over to the University police dispatcher but
should be unloaded and cased. Saye said.
Guns stored temporarily with the
campus police are available to their owners
any time, day or night. Gun owners will
receive a receipt when the guns are
checked in which must be presented when
the guns are chocked out. according to
Saye.
According to a spokesman for the
campus police, students arrested on
campus lor carrying concealed weapons
without permits are subject to prosecution
under state law for that offense.
"But if a student just has a shotgun
standing up in the comer of his dorm room,
or something like that, he will be turned
over to the student judiciary, and charged
with a breach of the University Conduct
Regulations." the spokesman said.
He noted that married housing residents
are allowed to keep their hunting firearms
in their apartments.

a member of the vice squad until he
proves otherwise."
Pat is also careful with her body. She

It looks like a fair and cool weekend in
store for the Bulldog faithful who turn out
at Sanford Stadium on Saturday for the
Kentucky &ame. The National Weather
Service predicts highs in the 70s through
Sunday with lows in the 40s. The clear
skies and fair conditions are due to a high
pressure system expected to remain over
the area throughout the weekend, a
spokesman said. Clear skies may give way
to rain early next week, with a slight
chance of showers predicted Monday.
