Grads may have to
late register early
By ANGELA COSBY
KrU and Kl.ck • '•UifanlMW rUrr
The University registrar's
office has again asked
graduate students to late-
register a day early spring
quarter to help relieve late
registration congestion
Graduate school Dean
John Dowling said he feels
the "early bird” late
registration is an “ac
comodation to
undergraduates" because
it means fewer people use
the OpSTAR at any one
time, so students can get in
and out quicker The
graduate students are not
competing with
undergraduates for
courses, making it easier
for the registrar, Dowling
said
“I don't look on it as a
privilege at all, he said “It
(late registration) is a
burden to everyone "
The registrar selected
the graudate school mainly
because many of its
students reside in Athens
and were available to be
contacted about the “early
bird" late registration,
Dowling said
Graduate students must
go though the same late
registration procedures as
followed for pre
registration, which begins
Feb 26
Cindy May, an ad
ministrative secretary in
the graduate school
records office, said
graduate students should
late-register March 25 but,
if they miss it, they may
come March 26 with
undergraduates
Winter quarter, 1,150
graduate students late-
registered, compared to
2,164 pre registering
The “early bird” late
registration has not
become established pro
cedure yet, and may not
need to, Dowling said, but
added he feels it turned out
well for his school
"Hopefully we will prac
tice it from now on " May
said

University Union has outdoor activities
By MELISSA JORDAN
Krd and Mark Malt HrHrr
At least eight University students will have a good excuse
for missing this Saturday’s classes They will be slogging
through the Okefenokee Swamp as part of the Outdoor
Rc*creation department’s expanded outdoor activities pro
gram
A switch from commercially-outfitted excursions to trips
planned, organized, guided and funded by students has cut
< osts andaflowad participants more opportunities to pursue
their specific interests, said Outdoor Recreation coordinator
Bob Pinckney.
A new system of conducting training and informational
seminars before each expedition gives novice nature-lovers
• field experience in outdoor skills Actual trip time can
then be spent on exploration, rather than on learning the
basic tools and maneuvers. Pinckney said.
‘The seminars are held by group leaders of the various ex
peditions, he said “They try to explain the equipment and
techniques, show slides and just generally try to tell the
students what to expect ”
After students have attended the seminars, they usually
are instructed in some type of practice session at a location
on or near campus Participants in the rock climbing
tion train by practicing on big boulders near Lexington. Ga
Recreational sports coordinator Jane Russell said
weekend trips are limited to an enrollment of 15 or less,
depending on the nature of the trip. “Students can learn
more, and enjoy the trips much more, with a group of about
Fite: School must
mix values, books
By JIM BARBER
Krd and Mark < onlributinK Writrr
Universities should combine knowledge with appreciation
of and commitment to higher humanistic and social values,
said Gilbert Fite during his keynote speech at the annual
Founder's Day banquet earlier this week
Speaking before approximately 2ixi people Thursday night
at the Athens Country Club. Fite, the University’s Richard
B Russell professor of history, said the intellectual qualities
of thinking, reason, logic and rationality must permeate the
entire college experience if the University is to meet its
challenge
The Founder's Day program also included a report on the
University's Bicentennial Celebration in 1985 and an update
on Bicentennial fund-raising efforts
The banquet honored J.W. Fanning, former University
vice president for services, and William Hartman Jr.
Fite said universities have become the center of a great
know ledge industry, and that know ledge is the basis of power
in our highly technical society
He said that knowledge and power uncontrolled by reason,
decent human values and high moral standards are a source
of terrible danger to people and a free society
Universities must not only produce knowledge, but they
should point the way for the best use of that knowledge," Fite
said “The University itself must operate in promoting high
moraI and ethical principles
He said there is no place in higher education for men like
the Harvard professor who recently admitted that he
falsified evidence in some of his experiments
Fite said the true function of higher education is to foster
intellectual activity and creativity
Fite said our society is the most credcntialled in human
history and that it has failed to raise the levels of civility and
has not led the way to a better political, social and economic
system, or improved the standards of human relationships
Thomas Dyer, general chairman of the University
Bicentennial Celebration Committee, said the celebration
will officially open at commencement in June 1984
Dyer said the celebration w ill have three main focal points
The first focal point, the academic phase, will take place
October 1984 This phase will open with a campus con
vocation featuring international speakers, musical com
positions, national and international academic leaders,
prominent public figures and a formal academic procession
Founder's Week, the second major focal point of the
celebration, will be its centerpiece and will take place in
winter 1985 Social, cultural and ceremonial events will
highlight the week long activities.
The final focal point of the celebration will be a University
wide exposition to be held in conjunction with Alumni
Weekend in May 1985
five to eight people," Russeli said. "With a larger group, the
leader has to spend less time with each student and more
time just trying to keep up with the group ’
"Because we organize into such small groups," Pinckney
said, “four or five people with advanced skills and ex
perience can plan a longer and more difficult route for their
hike, while a group of amateurs can take an easier course
"There is also a much greater variability of programs,
since students can choose exactly where they want to go and
what they want to do," Pinckney said.
The major drawback of the program now is the need for
more experienced groups leaders "We are looking for peo
ple with outdoor skills of any kind that they would like to
share with others," Russell said,
“It's a great opportunity to meet other people who share
your interest,” Pinckney said
Although the University Union subsidizes the program by
purchasing special equipment such as canoes, the bulk of the
trip costs are met by the students themselves.
“With more people to organize into smaller groups, we can

earpool and cut a lot of expenses," Pinckney said.
Although there are some limitations, such as the number of
weekends in the quarter. Russell said the program can be ex
panded to include more trips while keeping the low student-
guide ratio. _ . .
The programs offered winter quarter will begin with a
camping trip to the Okefenokee Swamp Jan 29, 30 and 31
Other trips planned include rock climbing on Mount Yonah
near Cleveland. Ga ; backpacking in the mountains of North
Carolina. Georgia or Tennessee; a caving expedition in
North Georgia and a camping trip to Cumberland Island

food, equipment and transportation are provided Several
trips are in the planning stages for spring quarter, including
a white-water rafting excursion.
Students who wish to hike, canoe and backpack on their

tivities at a nominal fee. More information about rental

But University TV will
also be able to offer its pro
gramming to services other
than the new commission.
Bermont said. Producer
David Fisher, who heads the
distribution division of
University TV, is in the pro
cess of contacting cable
systems to locate channels to
show the kind of adult educa
tion programs the center
specializes in, Bermont said.
The center will also retain
its satellite link with the
Public Broadcasting Ser
vice, which allows it to feed
programming directly to the
national network One pro
gram that will be fed to PBS
in the near future is a
documentary about the U.S.
Pavillion at the upcoming
World's Fair in Knoxville,
Tenn., produced by Bermont
and University TV in con
junction with a Knoxville
educational station.
Bermont said he welcomes
the relative freedom the
creation of University TV
will give him as a producer,
noting that program direc
ting for educational stations
in the last six years had
become “most uncreative
and dull" because of increas
ed control by PBS.
"It used to be that the pro
gram director was the
creative person in charge of
getting programs for an
educational station," Ber
mont said, who served
WGTV program director for
nearly 25 years. "But lately,
the network (PBS) got more
control. You couldn’t say I
won’t run Masterpiece
Theater' or ‘I won’t run
Nova."’
The station license official
ly changed hands Nov. 17,
1981, pending a period of
about a month and a half
when the Federal Cm-
munications Commission
solicited protests. Nobody
protested, Ottinger said, "So
it looks like everything is
go."
