the standards would allow the
teaching profession to police
itself in a manner similar to
that practiced by doctors and
lawyers.
“It would be aimed at teacher
improvement rather than a tool
to dismiss incompetent teach
ers,” he said. “If the improve
ment attempt fails, it sets up
guidelines for a removal of in
competent teachers, guarding
their due process rights.”
The plan also calls for a state
wide review panel.

Board of Regents appointed
Louise Mcßee dean of students
at the University of Georgia
Thursday amid student protests
that they were overlooked dur
ing the search for a new dean.
StevePatrick.StudentGovern
ment Association president who
led the protest, maintained there
was no communication between
the president’s office and stu
dents regarding the appoint
ment.
Miss Mcßee’s appointment is
effective Jan. 1. She has been

fairs and assistant professor of
psychology at Georgia.
In other action, the regents

Georgia Tech radio station who
wish to leave after its $5 million
sale to an lowa firm is final.
The board also took under ad

Gunfire, bricks
mark truck strike
By JAMES R. KING
United Press International
Independent truck drivers
trying to paralyze long distance
hauling across the nation
blocked truck stops, flagged
down operating trucks, picketed
expressways, and in some
cases resorted to violence to
expand their called work
stoppage.
A new outbreak of gunfire
and bricks aimed at operating
trucks erupted in Ohio early
today. The tires on some trucks
were slashed.
The success of the shutdown,
suggested by editors of Over
drive magazine as a two-day
protest of rising diesel prices
and lower speed limits, was
only partial. Across the nation
state police and truck stop
operators reported trucks were
still rolling on expressways,
although truck traffic was
lighter than normal, and in
some spots cut in half.
Ohio was hardest hit by the
violence, but gunfire or rock
and bottle barrages also
harassed truck drivers who
tried to drive in Colorado and
Pennsylvania. Three striking
truck drivers were arrested in
Pennsylvania Thursday and
accused of throwing rocks at a
truck.
25 Trucks Hit
Ohio police said at least 25
operating trucks were hit by
bullets Thursday night and
early this morning. Nine trucks
were struck by gunfire in Ohio
and Pennsylvania earlier
Thursday. No drivers have
been hit.
Other drivers who were
ignoring the shutdown reported
numerous incidents of brick
throwing, tire slashing and
being bottled up in truck stops.
Near the Ohio-Pennsylvania
border, drivers stood in the
middle of major truck routes
and flagged down oncoming
truckers, redirecting them into
nearby truck stop parking lots.
“They’re catching the trucks
as they come up routes 11, 30,
14 and 7,” said the state
Highway Patrol in Columbiana
County, Ohio. “More than 200
trucks are tied up (in parking
lots) at East Liverpool. But all
the roads are clear.
A Brighton, Colo., truck
driver was struck in the hand
by a bullet that pierced the cab
of his truck as he was driving it
on Interstate 70 three miles
east of Watkins, Colo., Thurs
day. He was not seriously
injured.
In parts of Michigan, Mon
tana and Nevada drivers
stopped their rigs on express
ways Thursday. State troopers
quickly hauled them out of the
way.
Other Area Reports
In reports from other areas:
—ln Springfield, 111., the hog
market was shut down for the
second day in a row today
because of a lack of trucks to
haul livestock. And Robert
Jasmon, head of the Midwest
Truckers Association, said his
prediction that 80 per cent of
the members of his Illinois
organization would not operate
their rigs during the protest
proved accurate.
—ln Peoria, DI., only 500 hogs
reached the stockyards, com
pared to the usual several
thousand. The same was true at
Joliet, Hl., and at the Interstate
Producers stockyards in Gore
ville, Hl., Clyde Titus said there
heat source during the energy crisis, at his parents’ home
here. His father, Birmingham Post-Herald photographer
Bill Ingram, snapped the picture. (UPI)
wasn’t a “hog in the yard.”
—The U.S. Steel Corp, plant
in Fairless Hills, Pa., near
Philadelphia, reported there
have been “virtually no trucks
entering or leaving the plant”
because a group of striking
truckers have stood outside the
factory telling urging truckers
arriving or trying to leave to
join the protest.
—The Arkansas Highway
Patrol said about 30 truckers
attempted to block the Mem
phis-Arkansas Bridge Thursday
night, but state police waved
the drivers on.
—Eighty per cent of Maine’s
potatoes are transported by
independent truck drivers, and
about 320 truckers were observ
ing the park-in .
