Two apply for positions on instruction committee
By KEVIN BK KNEI.I.
Staff Writer
The Department of Health, Physical
Education and Recreation’s plan to add an
undergraduate student representative to its
basic instruction committee has met with
low response
Tom Trimble, coordinator of the basic
P E. program, said the department has, to
date, received only two letters of application
for the position “We hoped for a better
response," he said, “but that’s all we got.”
Trimble said a lack of both time and
publicity caused such poor response "We
didn't get much lead time,” he said as a
result, “Publicity of it was not that good,”
Trimble said
Despite the scarcity of applicants, the
committee will still make its decision at
their next meeting If the committee does
not receive more letters, it is probable that
they will appoint two representatives Both
the letters, according to Trimble, show
enough interest and intelligence for such a
decision to be made. “Reading these letters
gives me a good feeling,” he said
The committee which, in addition to the
undergraduate appointments, includes five
P.E. faculty members, one dance faculty
member, one graduate student and Trimble,
decides which curriculum ideas are worth
developing and sends those ideas to the
department's course and curriculum com
mittee, which decides whether or not to
approve them The committee is also
involved in making budget recommenda
tions and planning course and instruction
evaluations
‘The questions that come before the
committe are enourmous,” said Trimble.
The undergraduate representative would
be expected to get input from their peers
and make suggestions
The original plan called for a large group
of interested students to meet regularly to
discuss ideas, but the lack of interest made
that idea impossible. Trimble said Trimble
said once the position is established,
interest will likely grow
Airlines vie for Athens-Atlanta travel
By CHERYTA MOSS
Staff writer
Since Atlantic Southeast Airlines
began flying out of Athens in early
September, travel agencies in Athens
have been directing more of their
customers to ASA than to its older
competitor, Republic Airlines
“We promote ASA over Republic,”
said Suzanee Musillo, manager of
World Wide Travel Service.
Musillo cited two reasons for this
action. “Primarily, ASA has better
connecting flights out of Atlanta
Secondly, Republic cancels their
flights too often,” she said.
Republic's manager at the Athens
airport, Tom Hardeman, said, “The
Metro Aircraft we used about a year
gave us mechanical problems It was
difficult to obtain spare parts for the
aircraft Because of this, we were
forced to cancel flights. However, this
is not the case today since we now use
the Convair 580, a 48 passenger air
craft.”
ASA Vice President of sales John
Beiso said, “ASA and Republic are
only competitors in a sense from
Athens to Atlanta ” ASA does not
compete with Republic from Atlanta
to other destinations, Beiser said,
noting that ASA feeds its passengers
into Republic Airlines system once
in Atlanta
All Seasons Travel Service has also
been placing more customers on ASA
flights, though their reasons are not
entirely similar to Worldwide’s. “We
place our passengers on the airlines
which would best fit their schedule,”
said one employee
Since ASA has four flights out
of Athens per day compared to Repute
lie's two flights,asa receives most of
the passengers going to Atlanta,
according to the employee
Thranhardt Travel Service has also
been using ASA more than Republic,
according to Thranhardt's Karen
Bond. “We try not to be biased, but we
book an awful lot more on ASA than
Republic,” Bond said, noting ASA’s
lower fares and better flight schedule
as the most common reasons.
If there is any reason why Republic
is experienceing a slowing trend in
business, Hardeman contributes it to
the economy and to a recent scheduling
change "It is the recession in
general This is not peculiar to Re
public also, we just reduced our
flights to Atlanta,” he said
Reiser concurs with Hardeman that
the state of the economy plays an
important role in the slowing trend
both companies are experiencing
Beirser goes a step further to say in
ASA s case, people are taking "a
wait and-see attitude" to determine if
ASA is operating in a reliable manner
In the first month of operation,
Beiser said the company had 357
passengers tins is “unusually low,"
Beiser said, while adding that his
company is experiencing an upward
trend now as is Republic
MOSTLY REPUBLICAN CROWD
Debate ends in booing, cheering
By HANK HENLEY
and RICK BALLENGEF.
The Presidential debale between the College Republicans
and the Young Democrats o( Clarke County ended in
confusion Tuesday night, as the closing speech was
drowned out by simultaneous booing and cheering.
Bill Mattox, the final speaker for the Young Democrats,
had difficulty finishing his speech as members of the
Campaign ’ gj
Debate
nr
audience hissed and booed Democrats in the audience
responded to the negative reaction by cheering loudly.
The debate ended with Mattox's time expiring and the
moderator from the Demosthenian Literary Society asking
Mattox to leave the platform.
The two-thirds full Brooks Hall auditorium held a highly
partisan crowd About 70 percent of the crowd were
members of the College Republicans, 25 percent supported
the Democrats, and the remainder were independent or
members of the press.
The two organizations debated draft registration, the
Kemp-Roth tax cut bill and the equal rights amendment
and responded to questions from press representatives in
the audience.
Speaking in favor of the Kemp-Roth tax cut, College
Republican Dan Mitchell asserted that the bill would
"create more than five million new jobs," through the
economic expansion which he said would occur if the bill
becomes law Inflation will decline and productivity will
increase, he continued "When people have more of their
own money to spend, they will be prone to work harder for
it,” he said
The bill would cut taxes by 10 percent annually for three
years, for a total tax reduction of 30 percent.
John Allan of the Young Democrats responded that
federal spending, as a percentage of GNP, is less now than
it was during the administration of Republican President
Ford He also said the Kemp-Roth bill would be highly
inflationary.
Allan quoted former President Nixon’s adviser, Herbert
Stein, as saying, "It may turn out that the tax cut will raise
revenue, just as it may turn out that there is life on Mars ”
Young Democrats’ representative Debbie Walls began
the debate on draft registration "The President is not
advocating that the draft be reinstated,” she said, but only
that the Selective Service System be upgraded to speed
"mobilization in the event of a national emergency."
She said that, initially, many top officials advised against
draft registration on the grounds it would speed
mobilization by less than nine days. However, she said, it
was later determined that the original estimates were
inaccurate, and mobilization would actually take longer
than expected.
“Draft registration is not an infringement of anyone’s
rights,” Walls maintained, but is only " . . a symbolic
gesture of our intent to strengthen our military
commitments."
She also said she believes “women should be included" in
draft registration, since "60-80 percent of jobs in the
military are non-combat positions "
Ralph Reed, representing the College Republicans, said,
"Draft registration transcends" every other issue in this
election, because it affects the freedom of the individual.
However, when asked later if Reagan, as President,
would repeal draft registration, he replied amid boos from
the audience, “I don’t think it’s going to be feasible to
repeal draft registration once it has been passed
Ronald Reagan is not here to answer the question .1
think the question is out of order.”
‘I don’t think it’s going to be feasible to
repeal draft registration once it has pass
ed ...Ronald Reagan is not here to answer
the question.’ —Republican Ralph Reed
Reed quoted Robert Shutt, director of Selective Service,
“ With the organizational structure and computer
capabilities we asked for, we could have easily met
mobilization requirements’ ” without registration.
Reed said he, too, believed women should be included in
draft registration. "Only six percent of all positions are
officially reserved for men only," he said.
Speaking in favor of ERA was Young Democrat Marion
Bibb She said, "This is not a revolutionary change in our
society, but only a constitutional change to ensure that
women are not discriminated against."
Bibb said ERA is needed because women's rights are
presently only protected by the equal protection clause of
the fourteenth amendment, and she said the courts are
"slow," and their interpretations "vary."
College Republican speaker Lynn Pounds opposed the
ERA, saying it would be like a "meat-axe" when a
"delicate scalpel" is needed. She said the ERA is "an
article without defined limits," and added, "We oppose any
move that would give the government more control over
our families "
Pounds asked. "It the problem can’t be solved with one
amendment, what good would another one do?”
