‘ Became aware how fortunate we are'
Afec/en-lser 7,
I he Mril .nirt k Wednesda Vrtnfrrr 1. 1979
TO THE EDITOR:
Recently I was hospitalized at
University Health Services with
a severe kidney infection. I
stayed four days, and in those
four days I became aware of just
how fortunate University stu
dents are to have such a fine
medical service available.
1 was given excellent medical
care by friendly doctors, nurses
and lab technicians. I felt like
the people 1 came into contact
with were truly concerned about
me.
1 would like to thank Dr.
Kenneth Byrd and Charlotte
Hickman, especially for seeing
me through it all. Dr. Byrd kept
me informed as to changes in
my condition, and what to
expect each step of the way Ms.
Hickman seemed more of a
ft nd than a nurse. She seemed
to really care how I felt, and she
made me feel comfortable both
physically and mentally.
1 don’t know how to express
my appreciation to them. Some
times "thank you" just doesn’t
seem to say enough.

‘Prepare to
lose tracks’
TO THE FJDITOR:
The recent letter from Vince
Dooley echoes many of my
personal sentiments. The Bull
dog fans that use the tracks
enjoy a privilege which, al
though previously allowed, may
well be up for reconsideration
by University officials. Before
we must be totally restricted
from the tracks, let’s all consi
der objectively what we have,
and what we might all have to
give up.
First of all. the users on the
tracks are free riders. What
most pay for. track fans get for
free. So. in a sense, that is a cost
to the University as well as
everyone who pays to see the
game. Other costs the
University must bear are for
clean-up and whatever damages
occur to the area.
But sitting on the tracks is so
imbued in tradition, that, at
least for now, the costs are
borne. Perhaps the officials of
the University arc reluctant to
take away the privilege because
they might have used the tracks
themselves in earlier and poorer
times. But the costs to other
fans for the unruly behavior of a
few arc probably the worst,
because they must bear the
cost.
A flying bottle can wreak
havoc on fragile windshields or
iworse) craniums. The cost goes
to them because the one who did
the damage won't make amends
unless he has to. This is where
community action can dis
courage these acts, either by
reporting the incident or telling
him how you feel about it. He is
the reason we may have our
privilege taken away. We must
encourage the defense of our
privilege
The option of finding a place
on the bridge has already been
regulated, so the precedent has
been set. The point is. those of
us with a sense of our own
a?,
community need to prevent the
minority from jeopardizing our
privilege, and also our person
and property Yon niav he th<
next victim of one over/ealous
tan's actions. Unless we are
willing to stand up to him. be
prepared to lose our fine
tradition.

‘What father
wouldn’t be?’
TO THE EDITOR:
This letter is in response to .*
Nov. 3 article in the Atlanta
Constitution concerning th<
possible resignation of football
coach Jim Pyburn.
In the article. Pyburn. it was
learned, is upset over the ua.
the quarterback situtation has
been handled. Now I ask you.
what father wouldn’t be? What
is this. Little League Baseball/
Subjective, overprotcctive
paternalism is rampant in that
area of sports, but has no place
in the objective decision-making
process surrounding inter
collegiate athletics.
If Coach Pyburn is tired of
coaching, then it’s certainly his
right to leave the game. How
ever, if he's just tired of not
seeing his son play, then he
should resign.
