SGA seeks clarification on major issues
Tlif Student Government Allocution's
Executive Council met Friday with some top
ranking administration officials to discuss
leveral problems that have proved themselves
quite sticky I'm both parties for the past year.
SGA President Rob I usi.uia opened the
meeting by expressing his desire to clarity once
and for all the issues of the halting of SGA
requilitions. the luring of a lawyer on retainer
by the SGA and the future of the transit
lyttem
Attending the meeting with the Executive
Council were Di Jack Thornton, financial
advisor I'm the SGA Dean James Tucker and
Clifton Mooie. Ml Vice -President of Business
Affairs
Lusi.nu spoke lust asking to know what
channels SGA requisitions must go through in
order to be consideied valid, and whose
authority could be used to block such
requilitions
Dr. Ihoiriton answered by saying that
requisitions had been held up in the past but
that the number was very small He stated that
the chief leason for the holdups in the past had
been because ol misunderstandings about the
SGA verification ol the requests 'If an
organization oi group requisitions for money
that was not appropriated by the SGA it is my
responsibility to stop that requisition said
DR. JACK THORNTON
Thornton "However. If I go to Mark Browne
(SGA Treasurer) and he says it's all right to
sign. I'll sign it "
Lusiana then said to the administrative
officials that he did not object to stays placed
on requisitions, but that he felt that no one
should have a veto over SGA requests.
Earlier this spring the SGA Legislature had
appiopnated 1i2().()(K) 10 lure a lawyer on
retainer tor use b) ECI student According to
Biowne when Clifton Moore.ECI
Vice-President ol Business Affairs discovered
what the appropriation wjs for he informed
Browne that charges could be imposed on him
for misappropriation ol state funds jf any
requisitions were signed Since that tune there
has been heated debate about whether student
funds are state funds and therefore responsible
subject to state law
Rick Atkinson SGA Vice-President led the
battle for clearance of the lawyer decision
Atkinson produced several letters-one from
North Carolina Attorney General Robert
Morgan to Richard Epps, president of the
student body at the (Diversity of North
Carolina in Chapel Hill, concerning a similar
incident at that school According to Atkinson
Morgan has no opinion on the subject and
therefore no objection to the hiring of lawyers
by university governments
Moore then countered by stating that he
must operate under thoseguidelmes that are set
by the state auditor The state auditor has said
that student funds cannot be used to hire a
lawyer and has given .instructions for the
business department to make sure that
requisitions to that effect are halted. Moore
Coaches accused of misspending work-study funds
(API "I suppose I had better talk to a
hwyei said Jack Swarthout. I'niversity of
Montana athletic director, alter learning he had
been indicted by a federal grand jury for
allegedly diverting to the athletic department
federal student-aid money
The 32-COUnt indictment, issued Wednesday
in Billings, charged Swarthout. administrative
vice president George Mitchell and three other
persons conspired to illegally use such money
The indictment contended among other
tilings that athletes were paid from work-study
funds for non-existent jobs.
Also charged were former assistant football
coach John Elway, assistant football coach
William Bctcher, and athletic department
business manager Karl Marlell
Foi example, the indictment said that
Athletic Director Jack Swarthout told one
athlete in October. 1471. that playing
basketball was his work.
The indictment charged that in September
of 1970. and again the following spring. Harlcy
Lewis, track coach, advised an athlete that
Working out and keeping himself in good
physical condition was his job under the
School's work-study program
lewis was named in the indictment as a
(�-conspirator and not as a defendant
On anothet occasion, the indictment said,
aasisiant lootball coach William Betcher told a
Student on a "lull-ride" athletic scholarship
thai he had been switched to a work study
program and thai Ins job title was "tutor
In addition, the document charged that one
Student in the work-study program was given
$220 m das by Belcher to pay income tax on
earnings credited to the student, but which
allegedly had been turned over to the athletic
department instead ol going to him

Sk�. said the school would have nothing to
U�y until receiving o.fical notil.ca.ion ol the
' Indictment
Copies of the indictment were released by
�tS Altomes Otis L Packwood in Billings.
Who said $227,000 in student aid money was
siphoned off bv the athletic department.
Packwood said from 1465 through January
of this year, the university received S4.1 million
in student-aid money, eighty percent of it from
the federal government and the rest in state
funds He said $431,516 of the total was
allocated to students connected with the
athletic department and that of this money.
$203,704 went to the students and the balance
of $227.SI 2 was deposited to the use of the
department
The department's budget had been slashed
dramatically in recent years, largely due ro
protests from the student body about
Swartout's use of money raised from student
fees.
All five of rhe defendants were charged in
the first count with conspiring from January of
1967 to AprU of 1972 to defraud the United
States government
The indictment's other thirty-one counts
charged them wuh making lalse statements to
the government, specifically by falsifying
student work records. The document listed
twenty-three students for whom such records
allegedly were faJsified.

number of naicotics violation

them he wanted the number

(AP)-The Supreme Court was asked today
to rehear the cases oi sixteen prisoners who
were removed from death row by its historic
June 29 decision banning executions
Prosecutors asked rehearing m thirteen
Georgia death sentence cases, two m
Pennsylvania and one in Texas
Texas Attorney General Crawford C Martin
requested a hearing in the case oi timer
Branch. Pennsylvania District Attorney Arlen
Specter asked reconsideration of the cases of
Anthony Solen and Frank Phelan. and Georgia
Attorney General Arthur Bolton filed in
thirteen cases
Martin stated in his bnet filed with the court
clerk that the Supreme Court's anti-execution
ruling "constitutes a severe blow to the
American jury system "
"The court has not ruled the death penalty
unconstitutional per se. but instead has stricken
down the legislative grant of the death penally
determination to the jury Martin said.
Martin said the ruling forces on legislators
the decision on whether to punish by
execution
Specter said in his brief that the two
Philsdelphia cases he cited are "excellent
examples of the careful and appropriate way in
which the death penalty has been applied in
Pennsylvania
Bolton advanced five basic arguments for
rehearing
1. The decision overreaches the scope of the
question
2. The findings underlying the court's bases
are devoid of cognizable proof.
3 The jury's role intercepts legislative
excesses.
4 The end has been confused with the

(AP)The North Carolina president of
AIL-CIO says he will continue to circulate the
pro-labor record of Senator George McGovern
despite a memo from George Meany not to
endorse a presidential candidate
Wilbur Hobby said Monday that 93 per cent
of the record of McGovern is favorable to labor
Hobby said he had received a memo from
Meany, national AFL-CTO president, advising
state affiliates to refrain from endorsing
McGovern or President Nixon.
This is the first time in several years, he
added, that the national organization has not
endorsed the Democratic presidential nominee.

Disney project gets opposition from club
The Walt Disney
organization has announced
plans to revise the proposal for
the $35 million Mineral King
resort development m
California's Sierra Nevada
Disney spokesmen said that
the company has prepared a
revised plan for the unspoiled
area that would cut the cost of
development to $20 million
and decrease predicted
environmental damage
Included among the change'
would be the substitution of i
fifteen mile electric narrow
gauge railway along an existing
road for the proposed
twenty-mile highway cutting
across a corner of Sequoia
National Park The railway
would reportedly reduce the
number of visitors from a
previously estimated high of
14,000 persons a day to an
average of 4.000 and a p ak of
8.000 The highway would
have brought nearly 14.000
people and thousands of cars
daily into the narrow, deadend
valley. 170 miles north of Los
Angeles
The organization said the
railway, under which power
lines would be buried, would
follow an existing dirt roadway
and pass below a grove of
redwood trees, "eliminating
any possibility of damaging
these trees "
The company also proposed
reducing the number of
projected ski lifts in the twenty-
square mile valley from twenty
to ten.
In a thusfar losing battle,
conservationists have opposed
the project On April 9, the
LS Supreme Court rejected
the Sierra Club's suit to halt
the project on the ground that
the conservation group lacked
the standmg to sue-at least
with its present lawsuit. The
Court took no issue with the
Skyjack reactions vary
While incidents of
ikyjacking continue to increase
throughout the world, airline
passengers are still not
concerned enough to agree on
a set of safety measures
designed to reduce them,
researchers at Ohio State
Univetsity report
The study, prepared by
Ohio State graduate students
Charles E Boltwood. Michael
R Cooper. Victoria E Fein,
and Paul V Washburn. reveals
that while passengers are
willing to accept some safety
measures, what these should be
vary considerably among
various sub groups who fly.
Passengers were asked to
rank seven possible security
procedures according to their
convenience, favorability. and
effectiveness The seven
included
(1) All luggage to be
transported on airlines should
be opened and thoroughly
inspected prior to loading
(2) All airline passengers
should be frisked before
boarding
(3) Anyone convicted of
hijacking should face a
mandatory life imprisonment
sentence
(4) All airline personnel
should be trained in close
quarter combat
(5) The taws should be
altered to enable all airport
security guards to frisk any
passengers who they feel are
suspicious looking
(6) There should be a
five-percent increase in airline
fares so as to finance such
measures as locking and
bullet-proofing the pilot's
cabin.
(7) All airline stewardesses
should be replaced with armed
guards.
The researchers reported
that the two most favorable
items were ones that would not
affect the passenger directly:
Life imprisonment for
skyjackers and a change in law
to extend the authority of
airport guards to frisk
suspicious-looking passengers
Neither item directly
consumed a passenger's time or
presented an explicit threat of
personal danger
As might be expected,
passengers who were going on
international Of long domestic
flights were more likely to
show greater overall concern
for security than those going
on local flights However, to
the surprise of the researchers
passengers who flew at lea;
once a month or more did m .
exhibit a greater overall
concern for security. The five
percent increase in airline fares
in order to increase security
was favored significantly more
by those who flew less than
once per month or very rarely.
A further breakdown of the
data revealed that older
passengers (over 30) would
favor changing airlines to one
with more security and also
would be willing U accept
stricter security procedures.
Younger passengers (under
30), on the other hand,
indicated thev would not
in tin
Lush room s lrw
change airlines for any reason
They also said they are against
frisking all suspicious-looking
passengers, increasing airline
fares, imprisoning convicted
hijackers for life, and combat
training for airline personnel.
The researchers felt these
attitudes may be part of a
general attitude prevalent
among contemporary youth,
i.e against stereotypic
discrimination (frisking all
suspicious-looking people),
against high costs (increasing
airline fares), against extreme
punishment (imprisoning
hijackers for life), and against
the implementation of violence
(combat training).
The researchers concluded
that airline companies "simply
cannot assume the typical
passenger has an overall
concern for security
One additional note:
Informal male feedback from
the survey indicated they saw
the replacement of
stewardesses with armed guards
as a "highly inconvenient
procedure

experiment, and been praised as a

without an apparent harm to their

Bussing has not automatically
resulted in racial harmony where it has
been employed In Mime cases, such as

considerable resistance and tension in

McGovern forces misjudge candidate's base
By DANIEL WHITFORD
h is likely that some ot the more optimistic
Sew Demo rats' will be in for a full scale jolt
ol political shock when the presidential election
returns begin to trickle in next November
I hose placing their i hips on Senator George
M C 'vern must and do iclv upon a veritable
stampede to the pulls hv youth, black, and
newly registered voters to fill the vacuum
sreated during the pas) tew vears. particularly
during the past tew months, by increasing
alienation and detection from traditional
Democratic supporting ranks ol
moderate-conservative establishment and
independent elements
The potential 1 -nary" ol the
McGovernites, however will be the result not
of detections from the ranks, but of a probable
gross overestimate ot the degree ot the
stranglehold assumed to be possessed by
McGovern ol the youth and black vote and of a
potentially damaging misjudgment of the
political leanings ol many unregistered voters.
First, as has often been overlooked when
bases of political support are appraised there is
a very significant segment of youth voters who
have not had educationally indoctrinated into
their moral fiber the spirit of "intellectual'
distrust of the methods of the old politics and
the old system To be reckoned with are
millions of young voters who are already
semi-card carrying members ol the
establishment Few have been exposed to any
significant degree of leftist mtellectualism
Some are high school dropouts Many are
married and have families Most work for a
living instead of attending school All are
citizens whose votes bear just as much electoral
weight as the votes of those youths in the
campus-centered McGovern camp
Second, McGovern's organization can rely
upon an overwhelming majority of the black
vote but not in the proportions captured by
Senatoi Hubert Humphrey in 1968 This
reduced support from a constituency vital to
Democratic presidential candidates in past
elections is due in part to the
name-identification factor McGovern has
simply not been, as Humphrey, the dominant
draftsman, spokesman, and spearhead for most
of the major civil rights legislation of the past
two decades.
Richard Nixon received only 12 of the
black vote in 1968, and in view of the refusal
by the NAACP at its recent convention to
clearly endorse or condemn either party there is
viable evidence that important changes are
taking place which suggest that Nixon's meager
showing of black support in 1968 may be
measureably improved upon in 1972
Third. McGovern strategists have made plans
to initiate an effort to register millions of
young new voters before the November
election As a recent Gallup survey pointed out,
however, this may prove to be a self-defeating,
if desirable, action in view of the fact that most
unregistered youths are members of the
off-campus segment This would tend to swell
McGovern's sum constituency while at the same
time reducing his overall proportion of voter
support
Although no absolute categorical
conclusions can be drawn until Novemt
direction and degree ot these dev :
may be at least partially traced and �
the campaign progresses In the meant
however, the "New Politics' havi
reigns ol the Democratk Pan
