“working toward changes...”- Tillman
KATHY MOORE
The new Student Government
President, Thurmond Tillman,
said that he hopes someday to
be a United States Senator.
He plans to study law at
Howard University in
Washington. Although Tillman
plans to stay in the political
ring, he said, “I haven’t begun
campaigning yet.”
Tillman became interested in
SGA, he said, because he
‘‘enjoys helping people.” He
added, ‘‘l feel that I could be of
better service to the students
through my involvement in
SGA.” He said he gets pleasure
from talking to people and
encourages everyone to “come
forward with any problems or
suggestions.”
Some of Tillman’s close range
goals include: improving the

parking situation, working with
the public safety department,
trying to get beer and wine on
campus, getting a student
representative on the Faculty
Senate, and working with the
faculty evaluations and faculty
advisors. He said that he
realizes that there are many
changes needed in SGA and he
is “working towards making
these changes.”
The new president is
originally from West Palm
Beach, Florida. He is a 20-year
old business management
major. His home is now in
Brunswick, where he attended
Glynn Academy.
In his free time, which he
admits he has “very little of,”
Tillman said that he enjoys
photography and participating
in all activities involved with
beach life.
“...one major issue at a time...”-Knab
BY JONATHAN THOMAS
Dan Knabb, the newly elected
vice-president SGA, said
that he now has the opportunity
to put into effect new ideas.
“1 want to take one major
issue at a time,” said Knab.
“The most pressing issue on
campus is the SGA alcoholic
beverages proposal, which was
vetoed by President Pafford,”
Knab said. He commented, “I
can understand why President
Pafford voted the way he did,
and I appreciated all the time
and consideration he put into
making his decision. But I am
determined to get this proposal
passed.”
He and Thurman Tillman, the
newly elected president of the
SGA, have already begun
working on procedures to re
submit anew proposal which
they believe will be passed
without much opposition. SGA
ministers, under the direction
of Tillman and Knab, will be
working with parking and
security problems, while the
president and vice-president
will concentrate on getting their
proposal passed, he said.
Knab, who was in charge of
the Mother’s Finest Concert,
has also been working on get
ting an outdoor concert for one
weekend. He said that he
realized that getting the funds
for such events are difficult.
Knab also stated that he plans
to look into the problem of
registration, with the hope of
finding a way to make it run
smoother.
Knab said that the man who
takes President Pafford’s place
should be concerned “with West
Georgia as an academic in
stitution,” and hopes that the
new president will “view the
students as people, and place
less emphasis on community
opinion or pressure.”

fraternity. “The problems that
a fraternity faces are similar to
those of the SGA,” states Knab.
The vice-president said he is
dissatisfied with the poor
participation that the students
take in the SGA. He would like
to see more students attend
SC A meetings.
Knab, who sings and plays the
guitar, is a member of a
medically-inclined family of
seven. His brother, a graduate
of Harvard, is practicing
medicine. One of his sisters is
an X-Ray technological
therapist, while the other is a
registered nurse. His younger
brother is also considering a
amajorin this field. Knab was a
pre-pharmacy student when he
came to West Georgia. “But
later I decided that I could help
prolong human existence by
staying out of medicine,” Knab
quipped. He is a political
science major, minoring in
speech, and hopes to go to law
school. Knab’s second choice is
to be a business managing
consultant.

since the station is basically
audience supported. This would
require an increase in WRFG’s
present output of 1250 watts to
28,(XX) watts.
French said he realizes this
increase in power output would
cause interference with WWGC
because the two stations
presently occupy the same
frequency, 89.3. However,
managers of WRFG have
proposed that WWGC change its
frequency. French also said
that WRFG has offered to pay
the expenses for the necessary
changes.

“...too many
divisions...”-Hays
BY JACK BRYAN
John Hays, a 21-year-old
biology major from Atlanta, the
new judiciary committee
chairman, said that he would
like to set up a liason group with
the director of public safety,
Jody Hicks, to “make students
more aware of what is expected
of them.”
Some other issues the
chairman said that he felt
needed acting upon were these:
increasing the radio station’s
budget, changing Brumbelow
Street back to a two-way street
and starting an SGA campaign
“to increase student awareness
and involvement.” Hays said
that there are “too many
divisions” among students as
well as faculty and ad
ministration
Hays said that he had
“nothing but praise” for the last
SGA administration. He suc
ceeds former chairman Larry
Bridges as the head of the 11-
man-judiciary board that
reviews violations by students.
The new chairman said that
he finds h faced with the
duties of reviewing all con
stitutional matters arising in
the SGA, as well as serving as
the student representative of
traffic court which approves,
reduces or denys violations. He
will also head the SGA com
mittee that reviews police
functions.
Hays said that his main in
terest is to see that “all students
are granted their basic rights as
students.” He said he hopes to
create an open-door and casual
relationship with students.
