This is because we were supposs to git edukated so we could grow up and make lots of money bean smart. So the tyme when John and I wuz about ready to graduate from Hi Skool came. We rote a letter to the Univercity of Goorga and they sed they wook be very pleezed to have us attend at a small cost, and pretty soon it wuz the last weak at home and tyme for us to leeve for Kolage. I got reel xcited and my mama even gave me cuff links with the Goorga bulldog on them, which we all no is the cymbal for are skool. So I road up here and met John, cause he didn't ride up to Athens with me And when I sed I thought Athens was in Grease, he just laffed and said that I wuz dum. Anyway, John and I wuz walkin down the rode and we saw a lot of freturninty shirts and a lot of floks who tawked about gittin' drunk and raisin hail We even saw folks who looked at us funny cause we didn't join the ROTC which John sez stands for Rite Ornery Tuff Caracter.

It is a movement to better women's status in a male oriented society. One asks just what are the objectives of this particular movement. The overall objective is the achievement of equality for women who have long been recognized merely as members of the "weaker sex." Some specific demands are: (1) equal pay for equal work, (2) day care centers for working mothers, (3) recognition that women have the same capacity for mental achievement as males. How does the women's lib movement relate to the University of Georgia campus? Not very well. It is an established fact at the University that coeds are thought of as sex objects; and everyone seems happy to go along with the assumption. The whole dating system revolves around the fun-loving, friendly sex. In mose cases, intelligence is not con sidered as a qualification for a good date. Another established fact is that the majority of coeds come to the University seeking the coveted M. R. S. degree. These strickly non-academic courses are offered during the weekend. Participation and attendance are always high. The typical University coed shuts her eyes to the world beyond the University campus, ignoring current issues of relevance. She has no desire to acquire knowledge of important problems beyond her weekly date list. In many cases, women here generally dislike one another due to the competitive atmosphere. This atmosphere needs to be abolished so that women can learn to get to know each other as people, not rivals. If women learn to respect each other as people, perhaps the male population will follow this example towards women. Women's lib is not a joke. It is by no means meant to deprive women of their femininity, but to give them their deserved freedom. It is not meant to be a radical, "bra-burning" movement but consists of sincere, concerned people who happen to be born women. YOGIE Yearbook demise rumored A rampaging rumor has elated the student body, much to the embarrassment of the SGA (student government association). According to a source close to the student government, the rumor has absolutely no truth to it and is not even being considered. The SGA would like to get their hands on the hippie who started it. What has excited the students at the normally jaded University of Georgia is the rumor that the SGA has made ready a plan which is at once bold and radical and shows signs that the SGA is finally turning-on to the students. The rumor runs that the end of the yearbook is near. Few students have been willing to state publicly where the rumor started, but preliminary investi- DOWNTOWN fj _ , I ,W 31 , ^^- < —.

When tracked down she was full of information she claims she gathered from her pusher who also deals closely with members of the SGA. As she tells it, "The annual Annual is to be replaced with a quarterly Annual in magazine form. The Annual is the most universally disliked item at the University, besides Bolton Hall and the football ticket fiasco. Nearly everyone agrees that the Annual is an annual bomb. Besides, it costs $52,000. "With 20,000 students at this school, that makes only 19,000 pictures of 19,000 students I've never even met. The only people who liked the annual are the people who put it out and some of them weren't elated about it. The Annual may have had some relevance to the Univer sity, but other than as an aid to prospective blind dates, it has very little relevance to the individual." Comments on the revolutionary plan range from "Wow!" to "Far out!" and by the time the rumor had made a full cycle up to the dorms and back down to the Bulldog Room the foremost topic of discussion on campus was what the SGA should do with all the money saved. At least the SGA can redeem itself by going ahead and announcing the long awaited plans to put a stop to the ill-winds of Pandora, and put an end to these wanton hippie rumors.
