THE CHAMP: George Foreman beware! George Smalls
111, known as Tiger Smalls, is on his way. Weighing in at 39
pounds and standing three feet, five inches tall, Tiger, at
the age of three, has been fighting half his life and says he
wants to be heavyweight champion of the world.
Anti-Black decision followed by
an Anti-Black remark.
“We are sorry Nirs. Rosa
Danner that anything cam to
the point of hitting a woman.
It appears that officer John
T. Rucker and his five senseless
colleagues were justified in
protecting themselves.”
Bunk! Wonder where those
officers would be now if Mrs.
Joe Taylor had been billy

dehumanized like that?

Attorney Roy V.Harris and I
agree on two profound subjects,
(1) The people of this state are
going to demand of this
university system a better job
than it has done in the past. The
time has come to put more
emphasis on quality and at the
same time make provisions for
borderline students. (2) I also
disagree with the way Jack
Bedenfield, suspended manager,
is being labeled regarding the
Bell Auditorium audit.
Although he and I don’t see eye
to eye on a lot of things, I
wouldn’t castrate him publicly
with half truths.

Dr. Lucius H. Pitts, president
of Paine College in Augusta, will
be guest speaker at the banquet,
to be held at 7:00 p.m. in the
MCG Student Center.
This project, as explained
by its associate director, James
E. Pigler, “Takes high school
and college minority group
students from across the state
and introduces them to the
facilities at MCG, and to the
possibility of making the health
sciences a career.”
You And The Draft
The President’s authority to
induct men into the service
expired on July 1. The
Administration does not plan
to seek an extension of this
authority, and the Defense
Department is relying on
volunteer enlistments to supply
military manpower.
Only induction authority
over those not previously
deferred expired on July 1,
State Director Mike Hendrix
said. All other provisions of the
Military Selective Service Act
remain in force. The annual
lottery will be held. Young
men must continue to register
and their local boards will
classify them as to their
availability for possible
military service should
Congress authorize the
resumption of inductions in
the event of a national
emergency.
Mr. Hendrix advised that the
law requires that all male
persons, except certain
nonimmigrant aliens, in the
United States must register
with Selective Service within
the 60-day period commencing
30 days prior to their 18th
birthday. He stressed that
young men actually have three
Noonday Film Program
On Tuesday, August 7, the
filsm “The Surgeon” and “Blue
Men of Morroco” will be shown
at the Augusta Library’s weekly
series of film programs “The
World in Films” in the
Auditorium at 12:10 p.m.
As the camera follows a
surgeon through a day in a
major hospital center, the film
“The Surgeon ” candidly and
dramatically records the many
facets of a world seldom seen by
anyone but the surgeon himself.
We see his training, how he deals
with his patients, and the
physical and emotional
demands of his profession.
The film “Blue Men of
Morroco” tells of the strange
and nomadic people who still
roam the wastes of the Sahara
with their camels. It shows how
they get their name from the
dye which they use to color
their clothing which
permanently stains their skin.
Cut off from civilization by the
Atlas Mountains, they make
their living from raising and
selling camels which also
provide milk and butter for the
tribe.
LIBRARY STORY HOURS
Weekly Story Hours for
Children are conducted by the
Augusta Library, Jeff Maxwell
Branch and Wallace Branch. The
program includes a story, a film,
and talks about books for
various ages and interests. The
programs at the Main Libarary
are at 4 p.m., Jeff Maxwell
Branch at 3 p.m. and Wallace
College students
participating come from around
the state; high school
participants are from Augusta.
The training program consists of
classroom and laboratory work,
under direction of MCG faculty
members.
The project is concluded with
an oral presentation by each
student on research or
observational findings made
during the summer.
legal obligations: (1) they must
register at age 18, (2) they
must notify their local
Selective Service boards when
they change addresses, and (3)
they must carry their draft
cards with them until their
liability expires, which for
most men is at age 26.
He urged those men who
have not registered to do so
promptly. “Failure to register
is a violation of the law,” Mr.
Hendrix emphasized, “and
could result in prosecution by
he Department of Justice.”
Selective Service is
undergoing a major
reorganization at this time as
tire System reverts to a standby
operation with no inductions
taking place. Many local boards
are being relocated or
consolidated at a fewer number
of administrative sites across
the state. To eliminate the
need for young men to travel
to these administrative sites.
Mr. Hendrix said Registrars and
Advisors to Registrants have
been appointed in most
communities. With no
inductions now planned, few
problems should arise for the
registrants which would require
them to visit the administrative
sites he reported.
Branch at 4:30 p.m.
On Tuesday of this week, the
film “Magic Fiddle” will be
shown at the Main Library.
Wednesday’s program at the
Jeff Maxwell Branch will
include the story “The Golden
Goose” and the film,
“Stowaway”.
The program on Wednesday
at the Wallace Branch will
feature the story “Hina, the
Woman in the Moon” and the
film, “Frowning Prince”.
PROGRAMS FOR
PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN
Programs are planned for
pre-school children who are old
enough to enjoy books.
“Pre-School Story Hour” will
be held at the Appleby Branch,
2260 Walton Way, on
Wednesday at 10:30a.m. and at
the Wallace Branch, 1237
Gwinnett Street, on Wednesday
at 11 a.m. The “Picture Book

at 902 Green Street will be held
