Guest Conductor And Clinician
The 22nd Annual High School
Band Clinic will be held at the

Valley, Georgia, April 17, 1969.
T. K. Adams, director of the
R. L. Cousins Band, has been
selected as a guest conductor
and clinician for this event.
This clinic is not an event
for competition among bands,
but rather a center for diag
nosis of the conditions of bands
throughout the state. The group
which Mr. Adams will be con
ducting will be composed of ex
cellent students from bands
throughout the state. This group
is chosen and rehearsed for limi

Dr. Ingram Talks Os Politics
By Dr. Irvine S. Ingram,
President Emeritus West
Georgia College
Since our national, state, and
county governments have had
their respective elections one
would think that we would hear
less of politics. Not so. The
local and state papers are domi
nated by polltiacl news. Webs
ter defines politics as theartand
science of government. So poli
tical news is interesting. One
wants to know of President-elect
Nixon’s prospective appoint
ments; what is Governor Maddox
doing and what are his plans for
himself and his wife? Who are
the new office holders In the
county and city governments?
Presidents of the United States
rarely appoint a Southerner to
high office. So it is interest
ing to see that Mr. Nixon ex
pects to appoint Georgia State
Commissioner of Agriculture
Phil Campbell as assistant se
cretary of agriculture. If this
appointment is made and If it
is confirmed by the U. S. Se
nate the people of the United
States will be Impressed. Mr.
Campbell Is perhaps one of the
most qualified men In our coun
try for this office. Mr. Camp
bell would have made an out
standing Secretary of Agricul
ture.
Mr. Campbell, a long time De
mocrat who recently switched to
the Republican Party, is a gra
duate of the University of Geor
gia ‘College of Agriculture. Up
on graduation he bought a farm
near Athens, Georgia, and be
came a farmer and a dairyman.
He not only knows the theory
of agriculture, but the practl-

they are to perform. His duty
as a clinician will be to listen
critically to bands and to diag
nosis them relative to strength
and weaknesses present. Sugges
tions for improvement are poss
ible.
Moreover, Mr. Adams is to
be guest conductor in south Caro
lina on April 27, 1969. He will
be the guest of a former stu
dent of R. L. Cousins High and
South Carolina State. The stu
dent is also a former student
of Mr. Adams. He will be con
ducting during the first concert
directed by Mr. Franklin Perry
of Burke High School in Char
leston, South Carolina.
cal side of farming and dairy
ing. He knows farming is big
business; he knows the many
pitfalls and difficulties.
Unlike Commissioner C a m p -
bell, Governor Maddox knows
little about his field, government.
He knows that he likes being
Governor of the State of Geor
gia and that his family Is the
state’s "first family’’. He likes
his position so well that accord
ing to the newspapers he is plan
ning to have his wife follow him
in office. Mr. Maddox likes liv
ing in the two million dollar man
sion.
Mr. Campbell, it seems, hesi
tates to resign as Commissioner
because he Is afraid the Gover
nor will not appoint a compe
tent agricultural commissioner.
Mr. Maddox contends that all
a man needs as qualification
for office Is to want the of
fice. The Governor, who says
that he is the best governor
Georgia has ever had, did not
have governmental experience,
and hence knows Mr. Camp
bell is wrong.
Mayor Allen will not seek re
election as mayor of Atlanta.
Going back to the definition of
politics: it is the art and sci
ence of government. Some who
have that art make fine offi
cials, other office-holders use
the office for selfish gain. "To
the victor belong the spoils of
victory” has too long dominated
the political office-holders in
this democracy.
Only 2.8 per cent of the more
than $7 billion appropriated for
veterans in FY 1968 went for
administrative expenses, the Ve
terans Administration reports.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Senator Herman E. Talmadge
of Georgia has been named Chairman of a newly

sell Long of Louisiana, Chairman of the Senate
