City County Jail discussed by sheriff and chief
Sheriff Paul Brown and Police Chief Ted Jones endorse a joint jail for Athens County though they differ on integration. They foresee a countywide police force in the future and debate who would run a merged facility, with jail control likely in the sheriff or the city. Both seek professional jailers and a site evaluation before decisions.

Colleges Face First Postwar Enrollment Drop
Washington reports the first postwar decline in college and school enrollment as a federal forecast predicts about 100000 fewer students in the coming fall from a 60.2 million peak. Despite this, total education expenditures for 1976-77 are expected to exceed $130 billion, up roughly $10 billion. The drop mirrors a long term decline tied to lower birth rates, with WWII-era decreases caused by military service and women entering the workforce.
