F ortunately, Governor Car
ter and hia forces were able
to whip the radical liberals
in Macon last Friday in the
election for the remainder of
the delegation to the Demo
cratic National Convention,
and won 12 out of 13 delegate
posts. If they hadn’t we could
have looked for Julian Bond
to be chairman of the dele
gation. Now, the governor if
he wants to do it, and he
should, can have himself
named chairman and Party
chairman Charlie Kirbo as
vice-chairman.
Os course, these radicals
say they are going to contest
the election with the National
Committee, but it won’t do
them any good, since the
makeup of the delegation fits
very closely to the rules of
proportion set down by the
infamous McGovern Com
mission.
As every reasonable person
knows, these rules are com
pletely impossible to meet,
without the handpicking of
delegates. State after state
will not meet them at Miami,
and they’ll all be challenged
by the McGovern liberal crowd.
But, we don’t see much chance
of McGovern, Chisholm, etc.
turning folks like Mayor Daley
of Chicago out of the hall.
What we are actually going
to see at Miami is a coalition
of George Wallace delegates
and folks like Daley working
together to whip McGovern’s
radicals. And, of course, the
radicals will demonstrate and
cry “foul”, which is what
liberals alway s do when they
don’t get their way.

We wonder how Atlanta State
Senator Leßoy Johnson feels
after his second defeat in
vieing for a delegate spot.
His fellow Negroes turned
down his first bid in the Fifth
District convention, and he
tried again at Macon. But,
he received only five votes.
Maybe he has finally learned
that even members of his
own race can’t trust Julian
Bond.

By the time this column is
distributed, Lt. Gov. Lester
Maddox will have announced
his decision on whether or not
to run for the U. S. Senate.
As we have been writing for
months, we don’t believe lie’ll
run, purely and simply for
the reason that a great major
ity of Georgians want him to
be Governor again; they just
don’t see anybody elso on
the horizon whom they believe
will look after the best in
terests of the “little people.”
Incidentally, Maddox re
ceived one answer to bis ad

Senator with 105 signatures.
Seems that a good Maddox
man from Alpharetta made a
point of collecting these signa

Director of Paroles in a pro

Not that Mr. Calhoun has
stated publicly his feelings

say he bitterly resents the
harrassment accorded him by
McDougall. Calhoun, incident

The quickest way to explain what Law Day

It isn’t "Lawyer’s Day.”
Rather, it’s a time for all Americans to reflect
on the values of living under a system of law that
protects individual freedom and promotes a free
society.
It’s a reminder of our rights and duties under
law. And our responsibilities to vote and keep the
law strong.
it’s an examination of the law’s role in

An annual award has been
established by the Georgia
Council of Teachers erf Math

Gladys M. Thomason, math

Department erf Education.
Announcement of the new
award was made during the
council’s general session held
April 7 during the Georgia

Each year the council will
choose an outstanding Georgia
mathematics teacher for the

Pineview Grocery Disqualified
From Federal Food Stamp Program
Simmons Grocery and
Market, of Pineview, has been
disqualified from the federal
food stamp program for six
months tor violations, the U.
S. Dept, of Agriculture’s Food
and Nutrition Service reports.
Formerly owned by Joseph
V. Simmons, the store was
disqualified for six months,
starting April 3, after being
charged with selling in
eligible items for USDA food
coupons, including tobacco
products, household cleansers
and clothing.
The former owner may ap
ply for reinstatement in the
food stamp program to take
effect at or after the end erf
the disqualification period.
Until the grocer is reinstated,
he may not accept food
coupons.
An FNS regional official
explained that food stamps,
by law, can be used only to
buy food. He added that food

Dr. DuPree Jordan Jr.
The editorial page in the
March issue of Change
magazine is titled Stumbling
into Tomorrow. That editorial
comment opens with the
statements: “It has become
common folklore that of all
our social institutions most
resistant to change, cemeteries
and colleges must surely rank
at the top. One critic of
academic ways recently
summarized the matter by
declaring that the universities
and colleges failed to
effectively deal with the
future because they had
none.”
In the same magazine. Dr.
T.R. McConnell of the Center
for Research and Development
in Higher Education at
Berkeley, California says:
“For the founding fathers,
Henry Steele Commager said,
‘Education was to be the
instrument of change, change
of nature . . .and human
nature.’ Yet during the
ensuing two centuries the
American people have never
fully embraced this
philosophy.”
Also in the same periodical
there is an article by Dr. John
A. Creager, research associate
with the American Council on
Education, under the label
Futurism and Higher
Education. That analysis
begins: “The failure of
education to prepare us to
cope with rapid change has led
us to be intensely preoccupied
with the future, and we hope
our present awareness can
teach us how to be better
prepared for it.
“For better or worse, our
destiny is tied to the future we
create by our present
decisions. But the approach of
contemporary revolutionists,
with their irrational rhetoric
stimulating the growth of
mathematics teaching in
Georgia and in the United
States.”

ceremony were two National

and outrageous behavior, can
only lead to such chaos that
humanity, further degraded,
will demand sdme form of
tyranny. Nor can the
reactionaries stop the world;
there is no exit, no avenue of
retreat. Those who uphold the
status quo, with its pragmatic
materialism, have already
produced a short-sighted
world destructive of its own
prosperity. Neither of these
approaches offers real hope.
The only alternative open to
us is to improve our foresight
in coordination with our
human values.”
In spite of the problems,
the complications, and the
negative aspects of higher
education in the United States
today, Editor George W.
Bonham is optimistic about
the opportunities in the
future. He says: “If the sixties
represented a period of
self-studies, conducted in
relative safety within collegial
communities, the seventies
may well see a series of
interesting new adaptations of
these efforts to involve
primarily outsiders and
frequently nonacademics in
this change process.”
The editor refers to studies
made at the University of
Massachusetts which
concluded that American
universities must decide
whether they should “model
themselves on the past,
producing in 1980 a university
which emulates the most
admired institutions of the
1960’s or will it help lead the
nation to a new model for
public higher education in the
seventies.”
This writer believes the new
and better model will emerge
in the years immediately
ahead. (69)
