Two constitutional ques~
tions will have to be decided
by the Supreme Court of Geor
gia before Gov, Carter’s re
organization plan can become
law, even if the General As
sembly doesn't kill it., First
is the bill’s provision that
the legislature must cast a
majority vote against, which,
to many lawyers, seems
clearly unconstitutional in the
face of the portion of the
Constitution which states that
to become law a measure
must receive a majority of
the votes of both House and
Senate.
Second is the part of House
Bill No. 1 which reads as
follows: “If a constitutional
officer affected by the pro
posed reorganization of an
agency or function established
or placed by the Constitution
or stature objects thereto in
writing within 10 days after
said plan was delivered to
him, any item objected to
will be deleted and will not
be a part of the proposal
submitted to the General As
sembly.’’
About two score of the Gov
ernor’s proposals were ob
jected to by constitutional of
ficers, but Carter reorganized
only seven. The legal question,
therefore, is does or does
not the above provision limit
constitutional officers to only
major provisions affecting
their departments.
So, with allthis legal squab~
bling to come, it may be a
long time before the Governor
can put his plan into effect,
even if he wins in the
Assembly.

The Atlanta Public School
System has ordered a holiday
for Jan. 14 to honor the birth
day of the late nortorious
Martin Luther King, Jr., which
is Jan, 15.
And, speaking of King,
there’s a rumor going around
in the Atlanta Negro communi
ty that King’s widow, Coretta,
may wind up as the black
candidate for the U, S, Senate
seat now held by David Gam
brell. Man, wouldn't the
liberals have a field day with
this, publicity wise, and just
think how much money would
pour in from the North.

We don’t often praise Gov.
Carter, but we now commend
him for picking the right man,
J. T. Gregory, to head the
safety planning program which
Carter took away from Labor
Commissioner Sam Caldwell.
We don*t know anything about
the dispute between Caldwell
and Gregory, but if they had
to go their separate ways,
the Governor gained when he
persuaded Gregory to take
the new job.

On Jan. 12, 1971, State

Some Capitol politicos say
that the most potent argument
against an elected State School
Board — as Carter is asking
— {8 the fact that it will cost
80 much to run for the office
in each Congressional District
that the State would be forced
into paying large salaries to
the members. Which will add
a hundred or so thousand dol
lars to state expenditures,

We didn’t see it in the
Atlanta papers — nor did
anyone else to whom we talked
— but a Miami paper two
weeks ago announced that
President Nixon hadappointed
a man from Kentucky to the
Federal Reserve Board job
that Cong. Bill Stuckey was
supposed to get. However, it
has been pointed out that an
other such appointment is
coming up later this month,
and this may have Bill’s name
on it,
However, others say that he
will be given something else,
such as the Undersecretary
ship for the Commerce De
partment when Secretary
Stans resigns to raise money
for the Nixon campaign and
the present Undersecretary
moves to the top spot.
Or, they say, Stuckey will
announce in two weeks his
candidacy for the United States
Senate.
Take your pick of these
potentials — or figure out
your own.

Wd
ATLANTA (PRN) -- We are moving! Midnight December 31,
1971 terminates our 5 year stay in the NE section of Atlaita on
Tullie Circle.
When the sun rises January 1, 1972, the Georgia Egg
Commission will officially reside at:
16 Forest Parkway
Georgia State Farmer’s Market
Forest Park, Georgia 30050
We'll be next to the main administration building just above
the rows of fresh produce, dried flower arrangements, Christmas
trees and handmade crafts -- depending on the season.
There will be plenty of parking space in front of our
building. So when you’re buying vegetables at the market, stop
by. Patty will give you a copy of the most recently developed
recipes or maybe you can peek in the test kitchen so see how
they are developed if I'm not out demonstrating (**How to Have
Women'’s Lib in your Kitchen.”)
Our office hours are officially 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., but
sometimes at that hour speeches aren’t finished, booklets
mimeographed, but not stapled, and omelets puffed but not
folded, so the office is actually open until the work is done --
regardless of the hour. (Like work at home or farm perhaps?!)
. Until a new executive director is named, and commissioners
elected to fill the expired terms, planning for new promotion
projects will be limited. However, Mr. Horton, our
merchandising specialist will continue traveling the state putting
up banners and recipes in grocery stores. Patty will remain by
the phone, typewriter, and mail room to answer questions and
requests.
As for me, writing this weekly column, speaking to consumer
groups and arranging newspaper, magazine, and television
features on eggs will keep me pretty busy. When Congress
reconvenes in Washington, D.C. I'll be assisting the wives of
Senators and Representatives in making their own omelets for
brunch. This is part of a joint project with Poultry and Egg
National Board to make folks aware of Georgia's eggs golden
goodness, easy of preparation, economy, and best of all -- sex
appeal! .
Education, promotion, research -- those are our purposes.
We hope our move to our new office will help us to better
serve you the consumers and our producer ‘‘bosses.”
Since I'll be without a test Kitchen and its delicious
temptations during January and February, perhaps I can stick to
my New Year's Resolution. If you're tired of rich food and
ready for simple home cooking, perhaps you too will enjoy this
recipe for Sausage Corn Bread Squares.

Campus Life
Back To Normal
Student life and campus ac
tivity at Brewton Parker has
just about returned to normal
following last week’s tornado
which struck the campus in
the early morning hours of
Wednesday, January sth,
Os the three buildings hit
the hardest two have been
repaired to an extent that they
are now in use, One of the
buildings is Gates Hall, the
oldest building on campus,
which houses the administra
tive offices andseveral class~-
rooms, Several sections of the
roof were ripped from the
campus landmark and there
was severe water damage suf
fered by the music and drama
departments,
Another building which suf
fered heavy damage as a re
sult of the high tornado winds
was Parker Gymnasium. The
outer brick wall on the south
end of the building was ripped
out when the tornado struck.
Robinson Hall which houses
the athletes at Brewton Parker
was evacuated immediately
after the storm. The building
was damaged to sucha degree
that it will not be ready for
occupancy before Spring
Quarter.
Most of the lesser damage
has been cleaned up and re
paired by campus crews who
worked around the clock to
help restore the campus to
normal.
Assessment of the damages
has still not been completed
according to Dr. Theodore
Phillips, President of the 67
year old institution.

Solid Waste
-
Disposal Forum
Set For Jan. 20
Residents living in small
rural towns with open dumps
run the risk that picnic food
they eat today may contain
portions of the garbage they
tossed away last week.
The reason for this is flies,
Millions of these filth-carry
ing insects thrive on the
thousands of pounds of garbage
that accumulates in illegal
open dumps in towns across
Georgia.
Georgia Southern College,
in cooperation with the Geor
gia Department of Public
Health, will host a “Solid
Waste Disposal Forum” on
January 20, to help city and
county officials to better
understand the laws, eco~
nomics, and practical solu
tions conecerning the collection
of solid waste.
The one-day meeting, sche
duled for room 226 of the new
Education Building on the GSC

legal implications for sanitary
landfills, problems in admin

waste planning and costs.
Highlighting the conference
will be Moses N. McCall 111,
Director of the State Health

Management Service. He will
discuss newly enacted rules
and regulations governing
solid waste disposal.

Several weeks ago now we
referred to the work of The
Center for the Environment &
Man, Inc., and the totally new
approach which this group has
toward learning. The
philosophy of their approach
is that learning involves a
relationship between the
learner and an environment
which responds to him, which
meets him where he is, and
which changes as he changes.
As each learner realizes that he
is of interest and of value as an
individual, his responses tend
to be strong, positive, and
joyful. At least that is the
philosophy of The Center for
the Environment & Man,
taking some of the basic
psychological principles from
Dr. B.F. Skinner.
Recently we received a
detailed study of the work
being done by The Center up
in Hartford, Connecticut,
from the senior research
scientist heading that group,
Dr. Milton A. Young. Some of
the basic characteristics, or
guilding principles which this
group assumes in all its work
include the following: First, a
learner’s interests, needs and
learning style are the principal
guidelines for the development
of each learner’s
individualized, tailored plan.
As his interests and needs
change (not whimsically, but
really) his learning plan will be
modified to reflect these
changes.
Participation
A second principle or
characteristic of the new
approach is stated in the
report made by Young: ““The
learner learns how to make
decisions and evaluate his
actions: he chooses the area in
which he will participate; he
uses advice and data from staff
members; he determines which
experiences he will undertake
and when; he evaluates the
effectiveness of his
experiences and activities; he
determines what activities
need to be added or
substracted; he, with other
learners, staff members and
citizens, participates in
decisions about the policy and
operation of the education
system. In effect, the learner
learns to direct his own life.”
Another assumption made
by The Center in its approach
is that no individual is ever a
failure, as long as he is willing
to learn from every
experience. The report states:
‘“*When a learner in
Learner-Based. Open Systems
does not meet a specific
objective, the contact person
or other staff person
responsible for him assumes
that the diagnosis, objectives,
activities or resources which
were provided were
inappropriate, not that the
learner failed to make proper
use of them. The contact
person reviews the evaluation
of the learner to determine if

Registration for the class

some error has been made.
The contact person then helps
the learner select new
activities and resources that
may be more appropriate.
Counselling may be provided
to insure that undersirable
experiences do not prevent his
making additional attempts.”
Another very sound
assumption made by this
group is that learning is a
continuous, life-long activity.
They believe that each
member of the community
who has learned something
can be a resource (staff
member) to help others learn.
Every member of a
community will have the
opportunity to continue to
learn and to help others learn.
Coustant Education
This assumption leads to a
related one, that there is no
terminal point of learning, and
no age limit in the total life
system for any individual.
“The systems are deliberately
structured to offer as much
education as possible to
everyone in the community,
so structured that people can
enter and leave at any age.
Facilities are open so that they
can participate in some way at
any hour of the day, any day
of the year.”
Inherent in this whole
system is the fact that every
individual is provided an
environment that is interactive
and responsive. “‘Learner-Bas
ed, Open Education Systems
encourage a maximum amount
of human contact since human
interaction is the main source
of learning about oneself and
how to relate to others. Such
interaction enhances the
responsiveness of the system.”
All of these emphases focus
on the fact that learner-based,
open education systems are an
integral part of the
community they serve. “‘The
community goes through the
process of designing its own
svstem of education. The sole
purpose of the system is
to serve the community in
such a fashion that everyone
in the community throughout
his life has an equal right.
responsibility and opportunity
to be either (both) student or
staff.”
The report by Dr. Young
points out the fact that there
are five major components to
any learner-based system: (1)
people. (2) learning plans. (3)
facilities. (4) data resources.
and (5) services. equipment.
and materials. The plan for
any learner includes his goals,
performance objectives, and
learning activities.
The entire study done by
The Center for the
Environment & Man makes
fascinating reading, and the
work of this group may well
lead to major modifications in
the educational activities of
this country in the vears
ahead {66) = .
