Fonda DRUG BUST Two Students Charged With Possession Of Marijuana ..Frame - Jane Fonda, a well-known actress whose anti-war activities have recently brought her more publicity than have her acting ac- complishments, will speak Monday at noon in the amphitheater. The topic of Miss Fonda ' s talk will be Alternatives. Sponsored by the Speakers Bureau, the speech will be held in the Tillman Hall auditorium in case of inclement weather. Dick Harpootlian, chairman of the Speakers Bureau, said there had been some doubt last week whether Miss Fonda would be able to keep her engagement. She was arrested Nov. 2 at Cleveland ' s Hopkins In- ternational Airport for allegedly smuggling illegal drugs and assaulting an officer, but was released several days later. Cleveland police said that when a customs agent had asked to search Miss Fonda ' s baggage, she refused and then kicked another customs officla. Police found 105 vials of pills in her belongings, including am- phetamines and barbiturates. Harpootlian said that the Speakers Bureau met last week to decide if Miss Fonda should still be allowed to speak, but that they declined to take action. He added that her contract was signed months ago, long before she was in any kind of trouble. Therefore we felt it would be wrong to cancel her talk. Miss Fonda, the daughter of film star Henry Fonda and sister of Peter Fonda, co-star of Easy Rider, last year was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in They Shoot Horses, Don ' t They? Miss Fonda has been on a lecture tour of numerous college campuses, speaking on behalf of such movements as civil rights, American Indian rights, and peace campaigns. IPTAY 5houldYell I request that if the policy of giving IPTAY members out date tickets that they should work for those tickets. By this I mean, there should be sound speakers set up in front of that section, such that, they could yell. Buying equipment is not anything if you do not have spirit, the students work for their seats by yelling heart and soul out. Why can ' t these loyal Clemson IPTAY members be taught: C-L-E-M-S-0-N. There is nothing that makes a Clemson student madder, I mean to use it here, than someone that takes his date ' s tickets and then just sits there. TomFewell.Jr. Two University students were arrested on campus Monday afternoon and charged with possession of marijuana. Pickens County sheriffs officers said that Glenn R. Hutto, a sophomore from Clemson, and Byron Joel Kudra, a junior from Sumter, were released on bail Wednesday. Officers said that bail was set at $2000 for Hutto but that they did not know offhand what the bond for Kudra was. The students were arrested on campus about 3:45 p.m. by narcotics agents from the State Law En- forcement Division (SLED), assisted by Pickens County Sgt. J. W. Hunnicutt, according to the officers. The officers said that it was not made known to them if warrants had been sworn out for any other persons. Kudra was released Tuesday and Hutto on Wednesday pending trial, they added. Manning N. Lomax, director of residence halls, Tuesday denied the validity of a rumor that dormitory rooms had been and were being searched. I am sure that no rooms have been searched on campus, he said. Lomax explained that the two narcotics agents, who he claimed were hired by the State Board of Health, asked him only for help in locating Hutto and Kudra. He said that the agents did not ask permission to search any rooms on campus. The two studenis arrested lived off-campus, and the residence of one was visited by the agents prior to the arrests, Lomaz said. He added that he had no knowledge that the warrants had been sworn prior to being con- tacted by the agents. Lomax emphasized that his office had nothing to do with the arrests other than helping the agents to locate the students. He explained that he was not familiar with the procedures use d and regulations followed by non- University legal agencies in searching rooms, but that there is a working agreement with agents to come here (to his office) first. Al Midura, one of a group of students who hired a bondsman to post bail for Hutto, said that his group had collected $325for the bond.He also claimed that the $2000 figure set by the Pickens County sheriff was an unusually high amount for such an offense. The two students have been charged with violation of Section 32-14-63 of the South Carolina drug laws. Trice Barred From Course Due To Hair Up If they put this thing over as a frame, we are going to sue the hell out of the state. Glenn Hutto, one of two students arrested Monday and charged with possession of marijuana, expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the way his case was handled. Hutto claimed that an informer named Ronnie Shepherd, posing as a student, told narcotics officers that Hutto and Byron Joel Kudra, the other student arrested, had smoked marijuana with him on June 10. However, Hutto said he had never met the dude (Shepherd) until several weeks ago and that the narcotics agents don ' t have any material evidence at all. We have a lot of investigating to do. It ' s almost certain that it is a frame. We just have to prove it, he added. The two students were arrested by two agents from the State Law Enforcement Division, Hutto on the loggia and Kudra from a class, according to the Pickens County sheriff ' s office. Hutto said that he is still in the process of procuring a lawyer, and that he and Kudra will meet with a magistrate of the Pickens County Court Thursday to set a date for the hearing. Until the hearing, Hutto added, We really don ' t know what ' s going to hap- pen. Hutto said one of the worst parts of his being jailed was the terrible condition of the Pickens County Jail. He said that the cells were sprayed with insecticide and the walls became completely covered with cockroaches. Byron and I were brushing them out of our cots for the rest of the night. He added, It was just like a pig sty.

Sttg r lemson 24 ' He Roars For A Better Clemson University The Citadel Athletic shake-up Howard becomes Cox ' s assistant; McLellan AD Frank Howard has been removed from is position as athletic director and ppointed assistant to the vice president )r student affairs, it was announced late hursday. University officials said the ad- linistrative reorganization will provide increased strength and coordination in s expanding intercollegiate and in- amural athletic programs. Vice President for Student Affairs alter T. Cox, whose office -is ad- inistratively responsible for Clemson ' s ital intercollegiate and intramural ;hletic programs, announced that oward will continue his responsibilities athletic development and public ' lations in the intercollegiate athletic •ogram. Succeeding Howard as director of hletics is Henslee C. (Bill) McLellan, ., who has been associated with emson athletics as a football player, sistant coach and as an administrative ficial for almost 21 years. He was jpomted assistant director of athletics 1966 and was promoted to associate rector of athletics in 1%9. Coach Howard will continue as he has these many years to advise m the ad- ministration of the university ' s total athletic program, Cox said. Concurrent with the steady development and broadening of the university ' s intercollegiate athletic program is tne increased student body interest in the intramural program, Cox said. Plans are moving rapidly for the conversion of Fike Field House into Fike Recreation Center. When renovation and an addition to the building is completed, it will provide the university with one of the finest intramural facilities available anywhere. Fike Recreation Center will contain space for all of the most popular indoor sports and physical training activities. Administering such a comprehensive intercollegiate and intramural athletic program is tremendously complex and time consuming, Cox said. By freeing Coach Howard of some of the ad- ministrative duties, he can devote more lime to those vital areas that are so extremely important to Clemson ' s ex- panding intercollegiate and intramurals athletic programs. In addition, he also will handle special projects and assignments as requested by the vice president for stur ' ent affairs. Long in demand as one of the nation ' s most sought after banquet speakers and clinic lecturers, Howard will have more time to devote to his many speaking and lecturing engagements. Cox said. Howard has been Clemson ' s top athletic ambarrador for more than three decades. He retired as head football coach in December 1969, ending the longest tenure in the nation. McLellan, 38, is a native of Hamer, S.C He entered Clemson on a football grant in-aid in 1950 and played in the 1952 Gator Bowl. He also participated in three other bowl games as an assistant coach, the 1957 Orange Bowl, 1959 Sugar Bowl and the 1959 Bluebonnet Bowl. McLellan received the bachelor of science degree in agronomy from Clemson in 1954 and a master of science degree in agricultural economics in 1956. Clemson President Robert C. Edwards said, With his many years of experience and good, sound knowledge of athletics. Coach Howard can offer invaluable assistance in his new position to assure that Clemson continues to develop essential and quality programs so necessary in all areas of athletics. Dan Qentry : local legend It all started back in 1952 when an ■ipiring small time businessman set up IS tiny shop, which consisted of a carry- jl window and eleven stools. It ended last week when Dan Gentry ussed away Up until a few months [ lore this death, this man had been the L ' niral force in one of Clemson ' j most jpular businesses — Dan ' s Sand ' vich flop. In a sense. Dan Gentry grew up with lemson. He was an extremely en- lusiastic follower of Clemson University Ihletics. and in fact, he was often ?sponsible for chartering buses or other ansportation in order for students to llend away-games. Back in 196;i, Dan chartered a plane to le Clemson-Oklahoma game and im- icdiately sold the ninety available seats, ul then, his small business was struck y fire only four days before the game. Wilhin lorty-cight hours, Dan had put up 1 lent where he continued to cook his popular short order items. He was able to salvage .several booths from the shop, and he set these up outdoors in a sidewalk-cafe fashion. Business con- linued despite the misfortune, and with his usual enthusiasm for Clemson athletics, Dan Gentry attended that Clemson-Oklahoma game. Bob Bradley. Clemson Sports In- formation Director and long-time friend ol Dan Gentry, mourns the loss of one of the learn s most faithful fans. He ex- plained that Dan was greatly admired by Clemson athletes, and that Dan had gained a good reputation among visiting sports writers through his work as caterer for the press box. ' ■ I really can not find words to describe Dan Gentry. He put long, dedicated hours ol work into his business. Many times he was there until 1 a.m. and was back again at five or six. He was a friend to all students, and it was this friendliness as well as his en- thusiasm for life that made Dan so memorable, Bradley commented. He got a joy out of his work, and he simply loved to do things for people. And now, friends of Dan Gentry are Irying to find a way to do something for him The Athletic Department is new accepting money to set up the Dan (ientry Memorial Scholarship Fund, a project which they believe that Dim would want himself. To a great many people, Dan Gentry can be regarded as nothing less than a legend; the legend of a sportsman who goes lor eighteen years without missing more than two of his team ' s football rfames — the legend of a local bisinessman who sells well over a million hamburgers ' in a small, down- town shop And if these people have their way, the legend of such all-around good euys as Dan Gentrv will never die Theft In Diningi Hall mi Seriou Will Potts, superintendeif of ARA-Slater Food Serv es stated that the food-stealing incidents that occurred during Mexican Night at Ijar- combe Commons Tuesqay, Sept. 29 , were not serious, He said that because of ' the limited supply of fresh ftuit the students who carried fruit out of the dining hall were denying others a shale. He commented that this in- cident will not prevent (the staging of other special me ls. Potts stated that otner unusual nights have bfeen planned and will includi a Halloween night which kill have a carnival-type iat- mosphere and will feaiire traditional foods and ac- tivities. He added that pi ins are being made for Thanksgiving and Christi las meals and other spe ial menus. He commented tiat, because of student respons i to last year ' s Playboy Niglt, another will probably be f eld in the spring. Potts stated, We reaize that eating in the dining hills can become monotonous and that changes are needed, and so we try to plan a spedal meal at least one a montk. He also said tkat suggestions from students jre welcome and that cojn- munication has been established by use of dining hall hostesses and the food preference survey taken last week. Potts stated that the hostesses can communicate day-to-day reactions from students and prevent a build up of dissatisfaction. In addition, the Food Ser- vices Committee of the Student Senate meets with the dining hall management every other Thursday to give the students a voice in the food services.
