school he hopes to represent, had to be a sophomore or above,
and had to submit a petition with the signatures of 20 percent
of the students in his respective school to the Student Ac

The council meets once a quarter and has standing com
mittees that make suggestions to the council. The council is
the highest representative policy-making committee or
group on campus, according to the statutes.

ECONOMIC PROGRAM
Any effort to analyze how
Mack Mattingly would
behave in the Senate must
necessarily be tentative.
Talmadge, a 24-year
veteran, has a long Senate
record to defend, and he
defends it willingly. Mat
tingly is a novice politician
who has never held elective
office. He is a former state
GOP chairman and now a
member of the Republican
National Committee, but his
stands on issues are new,
untested and to a large
degree rhetorical. It is hard
to predict how he would
vote.
That hasn't stopped Mat
tingly from attacking the
Talmadge voting record.
After tne senior senator
refused to lock horns with
Mattingly in a televised
debate, the Republican put
out a sarcastic flyer entitled
“Questions for Herman
Talmadge.” A sample of the
goodies: "Why have the
paychecks of working
SENATE
Georgians been cut nearly in
half because of inflation and
taxes with you as vice chair
man of the Senate finance
committee Why has our
country lost its lead in na
tional defense during 24
years in the Senate ."
But Mattingly’s sophistry
about his opponent’s record
is balanced by a genuine ef
fort to tell Georgians what
he would have done. In a
year when voters are wor
ried about inflation and
declining living standards,
he hopes to appeal to them
with an economic program
that he claims will solve
both problems in one fell
swoop.
He is a small-business
man from Brunswick, he
tells voters, so he knows
their problems and shares
their concerns.
This folksey image of the
candidate as owner of a
mom-and-pop office supply
firm is carefully cultivated
by the Mattingly campaign.
Most voters are unaware
that Mattingly spent two
years working for a large In
diana manufacturer, Arvin
Industries, and much of his
career in middle manage
ment with IBM.
FARM PROGRAM
Mattingly support higher
spending on armaments,
and attacks Talmadge for
his votes against the B-l
bomber and in favor of the
Panama Canal treaties.
He supports limiting
government spending to a
mandatory 18 per cent of the
itiona
* the
biff, a Republican
Bper
gross national product. He
Kemp-Roth
tax
pu
measure that would cut in
dividual tax rates 33 per cent
over three years.
He supports indexing tax
tables to take account of in
flation. He supports reduced
corporate taxes, specifically
capital gains taxes, and he
favors faster depreciation
schedules for investments in
plant and equipment.
Mattingly is trying to hit
Talmadge where he lives by
attacking his farm program.
The Republican says he
favors a one-year
moratorium on all outstan
ding government loans to
farmers. Such a freeze
would give the farmers a
chance to get back on their
feet after one of the worst
years ever for agriculture,
he says.
Mattingly, though conser
vative, has tried to
demonstrate his awareness
of social problems and his
willingness to try to solve
them through “free-
enterprise” economics. He
favors giving tax breaks to
businesses which set up shop
in areas of high unemploy
ment, a move he believes
would get people off the
welfare roles and back to
work.
Mattingly is clearly trying
to reach outside his tiny
Republican base. He
downplays the party affilia
tion, realizing that some
Georgians are still bitter
over Reconstruction and
hold the GOP responsible for
Mattingly and Baker to speak at Memorial Hall today
Bv TOM LEE
and IIANK HENLEY
As U S. Senate candidate
Mack Mattingly comes to
town today, he does so on
the heels of Sen Herman
Talmadge who told sup
porters at a fund-raiser in
Athens Tuesday night that
"if you elected a freshman
senator to succeed me. it
would take six months for
him to find the nearest
bathroom.”
Mattingly is making his
fint campus appearance
since the Aug 5 primary
He will be accompanied by
Senate Minority Leader
Howard Baker (R-Tenn.i.
who also spoke on
Mattingly’s behalf in Aug
ust
The two Republicans w ill
appear at 4 p.m. at Mem
orial Hall rally co-sponsored
by the College Republicans
and the University Union.
They will speak briefly lie-
fore proceeding to a $25 per
person reception at the
Sheraton History Village
Inn.
Talmadge spoke to a
crowd of over 300 support
ers who paid $25 a plate for
a barbeque dinner at Foss'
Lakeview.
Talmadge came to Athens
after a day of campaigning
m Augusta, according to
Talmadge aides. Talmadge
went home to Lovejoy fol
lowing the fund-raiser to
rest before resuming his
state-wide campaign sweep
today.
Talmadge criticized Mat
tingly's current campaign
trip with national Republi
can leaders "I could have
people come in by the
trainloads if I wanted to.
but I don't think of the
people of Georgia seek
advice from out-of-state
"This whole thing has
been reminiscent of Sher
man's march through
Georgia more than too
years ago." Talmadge said.
The Union received some
criticism from its co
sponsorship of the "rally,”
but Ideas and Issues chair
man Kathleen Bergen de
fended the division's action:
“It was worth it to bring
him*Mattingly) here If Tal
madge had come, we would
have done the same for
him."
bably as an alternative for
voters opposed to Talmadge.
The Atlanta Constitution,
which endorsed Mattingly
Monday, did so on the basis
of this worse-of-two-evils ra-
tionale. “If Mack
Mattingly’s sole qualifica
tion for the United States
Senate were that he was
respectable, he would be
more qualified than the in
cumbent," the
Constitution’s editorialist
said in a typical declaration
of this sort.
For many Georgians t
isn’t that simple. Whatever
his attractions, Mattingly is
still a Republican, still a
novice and - above all - an
opponent of Herman
Talmadge. The last may be
reason enough for tradi
tionally loyal Georgians to
turn thumbs down on the
businessman from
Brunswick.

it.
He seeks out black voters
and makes a pitch for their
support. But the effort can
backfire, as it did at a
Morehouse College speech.
Mattingly demonstrated his
ignorance of African affairs
in front of a hostile audience.
He was, it appears, unaware
that the racist regime in
Rhodesia had been replaced
with a struggling majority
government and that the
country is now called Zim
babwe
Worse still, he had to be in
