proposal was initiated by a
committee, of which Stewart is
a member.
The rule, which prohibits
smoking in classrooms, the gym
and library, has not been en
forced in the past, and members

complaints about this rule being
enforced, they may take them
to Student Actions committee,”
he said
Stewart has also been
selected as a member of a
committee on advisement.
"There have been complaints
from the faculty about their

them don’t like it. Others say
there is not enough cooperation

a suggestion that advisors be

that of advising as well.
According to Stewart, the
students’ evaluation of
teachers, taken at the end of
each quarter, are looked at
when promotions are con
sidered, yet most students
consider these evaluations a
waste of time because they
never see the results.
“When it has been suggested
that the results be published, we
are told the faculty doesn’t want
them published “Maybe the
students should refuse to an

they agree to release the

A New Gas Shortage
May Hit This Month
Remember last winter’s
energy shortage? According to
Louis Sprueli, director of
Georgia’s Fuel Allocation of
fice, it was mild compared to
what the country may suffer
this year.
Sprueli, returning from a
national meeting of state
energy officials in Orlando.
“We’re now predicting that
petroleum supplies will be very
tight this winter beginning in
the next 30 days.”
If there is another shortage,
Sprueli believes it will be
brought on by predictions of a
harsh winter, a coal miners'
strike, and a reduction of
foreign crude oil imports.
Sprueli said that because
there is now an abundance of
gasoline supplies, “the average
citizen thinks there won’t be a
shortage this winter."
Due to the expected cold
weather, oil refinery plants are
primarily concerned with
supplying enough home heating
oil. According to Sprueli, this
will result in a short supply of
energy for the family car and
power industrial plants.
This could bring back the
familiar sight of long lines at
the gasoline pumps. If there is
any consolation at all, it will lie
in the fact that gasoline prices
have finally reached their peak,
Sprueli said.
The cost of gasoline in Atlanta
is only a fraction higher than
the national average, but prices
have risen almost 40 percent
since October. 1973. According
to figures released by the U.S.
