With the construction of
the Butts-Mehre Heritage
Hall well underway.
University officials said a
dream will soon become a
reality.
“I have long thought about
a heritage type of building,"
said Vince Dooley.
University athletic director
“It has been in my mind for
over 20 years "
Dooley said the Butts-
Mehre Heritage Hall, which
is presently under con
struction at the corner of
Pinehurst and Rutherford
Streets, is needed because
“we've outgrown the
Coliseum as we’ve expanded
sports ”
It will house business and
administrative offices; it
will open up the Coliseum for
other sports (besides foot
ball); and it will “preserve
Georgia’s rich athletic
traditon." he said
The complex, tentatively
scheduled for a spring 19H6
opening, is named for for
mer Georgia football
coaches Wally Butts and
Harry Mehre who
“established our great
athletic tradition.” ac
cording to a statement by
Frank Sinkwich in a
brochure distributed by the
Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall
Campaign
The building will have two
floors containing Bulldog
memorabilia The Heritage
Hall will occupy the third
and fourth floors of the
building and will be “a
showplace for Georgia
athletics." Dooley said
Among the memorabilia
will be old uniforms, in
cluding the shoe of 1936
Olympic gold medalist Spec
Towns and a jacket from the
women’s golf team, said
Claudia O'Steen, associate
director of the Bulldog Club
There will also be trophies,
including two Heisman
Trophies. awards,
photographs dating back to
1892. film clips and
audiovisual programs
“The Heritage Hall is a
place that houses Georgia
tradition for all sports.
O'Steen said Business of
fices and the ticket sales
office will be located on the
third floor also
Athletic directors offices
and coaches offices will to
on the second floor of the
building
The athletic facilities will
occupy the first floor A
weight room, training room,
physical therapy center,
locker rooms, projection
rooms, meeting rooms and
racquet ha 11 courts will all to*
found on this level
These facilities will be
used by the football team
and will give the other sports
more room in the Coliseum.
Dooley said
Funding for the Butts-
Mehre Heritage Hall is
contributed strictly by
private funds — there is no
state money involved.
O'Steen said Of the $10
million goal. $6 million has
already been raised
All contributions to the
Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall
are part of the Bicentennial
celebration, but are ear
marked specifically for the
building.’’ O’Steen said,
adding that all contributions
are welcome
When the Heritage Hall is
complete, it will be “a
reminder about the past and
building on the future."

given an explanation of the game
Players then choose a set of initials
which will to- worn on their iden
tification tag during the evening
Next, the players are given index
cards, a computer card and a pencil
The index cards are used for writing
messages to the other players an
area where one's creativity becomes
important
Messengers an* then typed into a
computer and flashed across a hoard
located above the dance floor
The messages range from the in
nocent to the suggi-stive and about 150
messages are flushed each night.
Akers said
Players are also asked to choose five
appealing members of the opposite sex
and place their initials on computer
cards All the cards are entered into a
computer and each player receives a
computer printout at the end of the
night showing where they ranked
among their sex
Shelly Loveless, who ranked number
one last Thursday. said she was “really
shocked but extremely flattered I met
a lot of guys and had a lot of fun

something to identify with and helps to
loosen everyone up "
