In Publication's
Power Play
In a retaliatory move aimed at forcing the Board of Student
Pihlications to agree to rescind their recently adopted constitution in
tav*r of its former charter, SGA President Rick Waites recently
cireilated a memorandum urging that the student activity funds
a |heated to all publications bo suspended.
Th memorandum implied the
*‘co*peration’’ of Dean of
Stiients Tracy Stallings and
p-ector of Student Activities
favid Parkman in the for
nulation of this policy. Both
term'd any prior knowledge of the
.ction
Waites made his move
ollowing his failure to regain his
seat a voting member of the
Board at last week’s special
session (see 14 July 1972 issue,
page 1). He, along with several
other former members had been
removed when the present
constitution was adopted at the
end of spring quarter in order to
make the Board a more func
tional organization.
(The full text of the
memorandum is published on
page 5 of this issue.)
Originally, Waites had
“directed” his finance minister,
in cooperation with the dean of
students and the director of
student activities, to “suspend”
the funds pending the rein
statement of the SGA
representatives on the Board.
Local Jaycees Rally To Cause
Of Babies, Babble, Barbecue
Plans for a major political rally
and barbecue, sponsored by the
Carrollton Jaycees, have been
finalized with 30 or more can
didates slated to appear. The
rally will be held Saturday night,
beginning at 6p.m., on the Trojan
Field at Carrollton High School.
TTie rally is the first of its kind
to be held in Carroll county in
more than 20 years. A crowd in
excess of 1,000 is expected for the
event.
Jaycee president John Ball, in
announcing the rally said, “We
felt this event would give the
voters of Carrollton a great op
portunity to meet and hear the
candidates before making their
choice at the polls on August 8.
He added that “We live in one
of the fastest growing and most
prosperous areas of the state, but
participation in the shaping of
our government by area voters
has been somewhat disappointing
in recent years.
“It is our hope that this rally
will create an interest and en
courage a greater voter par
ticipation than we have ever had
before in this county,” added
Ball. Among the candidates
expected to participate in the
rally are several hopefuls for the
United States Senate and House
Waites changed his memoran
dum to read “advised” when it
was pointed out to him that he
“did not have the power to direct
anything, only advise.”
Following the release of the
statement, Waites and SGA
advisor Dr. Mel Steely, associate
professor of history, visited with
various persons involved in the
budding controversy, including
Stallings, Parkman, and
President Ward Pafford.
Meetings continue among the
parties affected until a final
decision can be reached. Ob
servers note that that decision
may come from the President’s
office, though no one is predicting
what it will be.
The Board, under the
leadership of chairman James
Mathews, decided to make itself
more effective through
reorganization last year,
following the censorship con
troversy and the resignation of
several editors. A Committee,
consisting of Dora Byron, the
West Georgian sponsor, Ann

and bruised former prize fighter
