Committee to discuss student involvement at University
By TOM LEE
Staff writer
A special student •administrator commit*
tc«- appointed b\ Mill Mendenhall, as*»ci-
ate dean of student affairs, will meet
Thursday to discuss "formats...wc might
pursue to enhance student involvement in
the University process." marking the first
studv of student involvement
since the.Student Government Association
was abolished last spring.
Mendenhall sent a letter to nine students
and administrators Oct. II asking them to
serve on a committee to “explore possible
forms of student involvement in ..the
general University communitv."
After sending that letter. Mendenhall
sent another memo to the same people,
calling for a meeting Thursdav at J:30 in
the student affairs conference loom in the
Academic Building. I he meeting is open to
anv interested students.
“Dean (Dwight) Douglas (of Student
Affairs) and I talked about this at length
this summer." Mendenhall said. “When
the quarter began, we decided to get a
group of people together to discuss this."
Students Peggy DeVore. Sara Collins,
loan Dawson. Jimmy Durham. Bret
Ihurmond and Mike Valentine received
copies of the letter, as did Bill Braccwcll.
director of student judicial affairs. Dr. Tiny
Copas of the office of student activities and
Chuck Wcrring. student affairs adviser for
University Housing.
"I would like to brainstorm with these
people.'* Mendenhall said. "What I tried
to do was to get a cross-representation
from every pan of campus—some people
with different kinds of interest."
Mendenhall emphasized this meeting
was not to re-establish SGA. #Tm not
about to set up a new SGA system. If the
students want one. then that's fine. The
purpose of this meeting is...to find out if
there is any interest in any kind of student
represent at ion."
Because of the vagueness of Menden
hall's letter, some of the recipients wen-
unable to judge what might transpire at the
meeting. "I want to see what kind of
approach it's going to take.” Jimmy
Durham said.
Bracewcll. however, was more optimis
tic. "Sure. I'm all in favor of it (the
meeting)." he said. I'm very enthusiastic
about finding out what the students want
“I see students doing g<n»d things all the
lime." Braccwcll added. “And I would like
to think t»f myself as pro-student involve
mem. so this sounds very exciting.
Harold Mulhcrin. former SGA president,
was not as enthusiastic about the meeting,
however. "It seems like what Douglas
wants is something directly related to his
office, instead of an independent student
organization." Mulhcrin said.
Mulherin was elected SGA president Iasi
spring on an abolish-SGA platform. Soon
after his election, tin organization was
abolished hv student r I -rendurn following
criticisms of the SGA s im fleetivencas.
When Mendenhall w.is asked what he
thought of the < ••lleg< • •! Arts and Sciences
trving to establish its own student council,
I,, said. I 1 ' " t " •' •• idea l old
like |o see all the s« In* and colleges have

U S District Judge Wilbur Owens in

mcin of Cut lip as head ol the |ournalism

Students in the College of Arts and Sciences in two weeks will
be asked to vote on a referendum to organize an Arts and
Sciences school council comprised of students from the
University's largest school
The plans for a Nov. 13 referendum came after an A&S
student-faculty committee submitted a plan tor the proposed
council to the student affairs office and asked the office to
sponsor the referendum
The committee met Tuesday to “work out last minute
details " according to student affairs accountant Tom Cochran
who is helping the committee organize the referendum
"Things are working out pretty well," Cochran said, adding
funding for the referendum has already been made available to
the committee
“This funding is coming from the activities fees made
available to the College of Arts and Sciences, he said
Each year student activities funds are made available to each
of the colleges on an enrollment basis. Cochran explained
"I think we have a good proposal." said John Breaugh. one of
three students on the referendum committee. "The first council
will be the people who really decide how much power the
council will have." he said
Breaugh said the referendum would be advertised by posters
on campus buses, and copies of the proposal would be
distributed to various campus organizations to let everybody
know what they’ll be voting on."
There will be four polling locations on campus Memorial, the
main library. Biology Building, and Grad Sludn The polls will
lie manned by meml»ers of the Residence Hall Association.
Joan Dawson, another of the students on the -otnn iffee, said
the school council is designed to be different from the
nowdefunct Student Government Association and is not a
replacement for SGA
“This is a purely academic council." Dawson said It deals
with academic matters It won't deal with city-campus telations
or parking problems “
If the referendum passes, according to Breaugh. an election
would be held sometime winter quarter to elect an interim
council to serve the remainder of the vear The first council to
serve its full term would take oftice at the start of fa!! I90t»
Hm proposal calls for two representative! t the i hi cfl la ba

dismissal is upheld, the case could be
appealed in the U.S. Supreme Court, but
"no decision has been made about that
vet." Henry said.
Stone, now the director of the Southern
Illinois University school of journalism,
called the appeal "a matter of principle."
“I am seeking compensation for dam
ages I received. It (the appeal) would have
significance for the faculty as a whole if
granted. Stone said.
The definite date and location for the
hearing will not be known until a week
before the trial. Henry said. “Ii could be
anywhere from New Orleans to Miami, he
said.
If the appeal is granted. Davison and
Cutlip will stand trial in the U.S. District
Court here.
Stone's original suit charged Cutlip w ith
harrassment stemming from Stone’s ob-
tcctions to the process by which Cutlip was
chosen dean. Stone served on a screening
committee chosen to name five finalists for
the post following former Dean Warren
Agee's resignation in 1975.
( uiilip announced to the journalism
faculty Davison had alrcudy chosen him for
die post in February 197b. according to the
suit. None of the candidates received
serious consideration except Cutlip. the
suit charged, further alleging the search
committee was "a pretext to avoid

Prison labor
Inmates still must work, but conditions have improved
Editor's note: This is the second of a three-part series on
the Clarke County Correctional Institute.
By CATIIY GAULT
Times have changed since county prisoners had to work
from sunup to sundown under slave-like conditions
Inmates are no longer rented out for pennies a day to
wealthy landowners The plantation prisons are gone, but
inmates still must perform manual labor while
imprisoned
"The simple fact is that the county wouldn't support the
prison unless it got something in return for its tax
dollars," said one employee at Clarke County-
Correctional Institute
The emphasis at the Clarke County camp is on job
productivity "The inmates have got to be productive in
order to earn their way out of prison." Warden Edward
Greenway said “Productivity is what society is all
about "
The earned time concept is relatively new to Georgia's
penal code In 1971 Gov Jimmy Carter appointed
penologist Ellis MacDougall to oversee Georgia's prisons
In that same year MacDougall found conditions in some
of Georgia's county work camps “atrocious and sent
investigators to examine the 42 county-operated camps
Today there are 39 camps
Under MacDougall, prison refor.ns began with a
behavior modification plan
The concept of behavior modification received
widespread attention in the U S with the work of
psychologist B.F Skinner and his experiments to modify
the behavior of laboratory animals
Skinner said deviant behavior is learned the tame way
as normal behavior and can fa* tmxfified by rewards and
punishments
After MacDougall. Allen Ault became Commissioner of
the Deportment of Offender Rehabilitation ami instituted
other reforms using behavior modification David F.vans.
who succeeded Ault, is following the same paths
One of the changes Ault made was !•• replace the
• good time" concept of release with an cawed-time"
provision Under the good time concept a |i' Non- i got an
early release as long as he did not have a poor conduct
record Under the earned time rule, prisoners are
"graded" daily by guards and counselor* and mu'*! earn
their way out of prison They can earn one day for every
day served, cutting their sentences in half
The prisoners are given nothing except clothes, razor
blades, a can of P A <Prince Albert tobnMoj and rolling
papers “ said counselor Gregory O’Neal Whatever the
prisoners get they have to earn
While an inmate is in the earned time program, he
may show a poor attitude and In- put into a non earning
configuration. Greenway said For example, if tie gets
upon the wrong side of bed one morning and gets written
up for insubordination, he may lx* given up to U’u days as
punishment These are days he cannot r ■ »- •*•* *“
