He added there has been Inadequate counterbalancing to the tightening of management controls that has been going on since last summer. Nobody is going to change a management system and tighten it without a shock to the whole system," he said. "We're going to have to spend more time counterbalancing and changing the ways we make decisions." Mathews also said: He realizes that the problems prompting the faculty's open dissent involve far more than the university not guaranteeing a 7 percent pay raise. -He plans to make changes in the university's approach to lobbying.

-He will begin a series of appearances around the state to bolster support for the university. TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) "I wouldn't contend for a minute that everything I've done has been right," said University of Alabama President David Mathews. "I just hope it's been more useful than otherwise." In his first in-depth interview on faculty expressions of dissatisfaction with him since the Faculty Senate's Oct. 23 call for a new administration, Mathews responded to statements that he cannot effectively run the university.

"I'm sure people have legitimate concerns about problems within the university." Mathews said, "but I'm willing to rest on the record of more than a decade at the university." Some of the faculty complaints about Mathews' way of running the campus are side effects of a "tighter kind of interna!

(AP) Attorneys representing inmates in Alabama's prisons are opposing Gov. Fob James' attempt to have the St.

Clair County Commission named as defendants in a prison overcrowding suit. National Prison Project attorneys have filed federal court briefs contending that neither the court nor the state can interfere in the commission's condemnation of land the state wants for a prison. The federal court for the Middle District of Alabama lacks jurisdiction because the condemnation procedures are in the Northern District court in Birmingham, the motions contend. "A piece of land in St. Clair County is not the subject matter of this lawsuit," their motion states.

"The governor has not shown how this piece of land, and only this piece of land is essential to for him to carry out his obligations as receiver." James was appointed temporary receiver of the state prison system last February by U.S. Circuit Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. who as a district judge ruling in 1976 on the prison overcrowding suit ordered massive reforms in prisons maintained by the state. To help alleviate overcrowding in the system and thus help achieve compliance with Johnson's 1976 order James has proposed building a 600-inmate prison on land in St.

Clair County. The 600 acres sought by the state is the same land the county commission is seeking to condemn for use as a public park. The condemnation proceedings were initiated by the commission only after the governor disclosed where he intended to locate the next state prison. The commission's action prompted the governor to ask U.S. District Judge Robert Varner to add the commissioners to the list of defendants in the suit that led to Johnson's 1976 reform order.

Before the fire engulfed it early Sunday, the three-bedroom home had housed nine children along with Mrs. Jordan and two adult daughters.

Mrs. Jordan, in her 40s, said the fire probably was caused by a faulty electrical outlet in which a clock was plugged.

(AP) A special election scheduled for Jan. 29, 1980 to elect a new Barbour County Commission will be postponed to allow a federal judge to ponder reapportionment plans. U.S. District Judge Robert Varner indicated Monday he intends to postpone until Nov. 30, 1980 the special election called by Gov.
