For Fiscal Year July 1, 1976 - June 30, 1977
To His Excellency Honorable George Busbee
Governor and the Members of the General Assembly

BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Charles T. Oxford, Chairman Albany, Georgia
Governor George Busbee State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Dear Governor Busbee:
I submit herewith the Annual Report for the University System of Georgia for the 1976-77 fiscal year.
This report covers the entire 12-month period that ended on June 30, 1977. My service as chairman of the Board of Regents covered only the last six months of that year. John A. Bell, Jr. served as chairman for the first six months of the year. Dr. Bell, whose term as a member of the Board expired on January I, 1977, served with distinction as a Regent for 14 years and as vice chairman in 1974-76 and chairman in 1976.
This document is being transmitted officially on behalf of the IS-member Board of Regents, the constitutional governing body of the University System. It reflects in summary form some of the highlights of the programs of instruction, research, and public servicecontinuing education in the University System's 32 colleges and universities during the year.
I salute, for the entire Board of Regents, the thousands of faculty members, professional and administrative personnel, and staff members whose activities are reflected in the report. The University System institutions are blessed with people who altogether possess and demonstrate in their work extraordinary abilities and dedication to solid goals of higher education.
Support for public higher education- for the University System, which embraces all state-operated colleges and universities -was strong in 1976-77. That gratifying support was a continuation of the long-time willingness- the eagerness, one might safely say- of the people of Georgia to pay the necessary price, in dollars and in so many nonmonetary ways, for excellence of quality and adequacy of variety of offerings in our colleges and universities.
The support came from the Governor, from the members of the General Assembly, and from many other leaders inside and outside the state government. It came from a very large group whose importance is secondary to that of no other group or individual: the taxpayers of the state.
There was some decline in enrollment in the academic programs - those programs leading to degrees at the various levels - during the year. It is likely that a number of factors, including such as economic conditions and postsecondary goals of college-age people, figured in that decline. We do not have an analysis that pinpoints and measures precisely all the various contributing factors.
The decline was unusual- but was not alarming. In fact, the unusualness was the biggest reason for lack of alarm. During the 15 years immediately prior to 1976-77, enrollment had been on the upswing, virtually without pause. The result of that continual growth meant a total enrollment in the University System in 1976-77 that was some 4 times as large as the enrollment of the early 1960's- only 15 years ago. There has not been any anticipation by the Board of Regents, or by the Board's staff members who keep a constant reading of

enrollment trends, that that kind of growth would be always sustained. After more than a decade of rampant growth, the University System simply expended- for a pause period at least - its potential for that kind of increase in numbers of students enrolled.
The primary concern of the Board of Regents and of the University System is not enrollment figures per se. The main goal is to provide opportunities for the people of our state to have ready access to programs of instruction, research, and public servicecontinuing education that meet their needs and aspirations. Some steps to expand such opportunities were taken during 1976-77.
-Waycross Junior College, Waycross, was opened in the 1976 fall quarter as the 32nd institution of the University System. This new college is located in a major city and county of the state that did not previously have a University System college. It offers two-year college transfer and career degree programs. It also provides a comprehensive program of public service-continuing education for people of various ages in Waycross and the surrounding area who do not seek college degrees.
-Kennesaw Junior College, Marietta, made important progress during 1976-77 toward its conversion to senior college status, as authorized by the Board of Regents in the 1975-76 fiscal year. The Board of Regents during 1976-77 approved the addition of a Division of Education and of bachelor's degrees, as well as a new name, Kennesaw College, for the institution.
The conversion of Kennesaw to senior college status, beginning with the addition of the junior class in the 1978 fall quarter, will greatly increase the opportunities for people of the Marietta and northwest Georgia area to obtain a four-year college education at a public facility without moving their places of residence.
Kennesaw is an all-commuter college, which has been operated as a two-year institution of the University System ever since it was opened in the 1966 fall quarter. It will become the first senior college of the Univesity System in the Seventh Congressional District, which embraces a very vital and dynamic area of our state extending from metropolitan Atlanta westward to the Alabama border and northward to the Tennessee border.
-Research expenditures increased $7,568,013, or 15 percent, from $50,446,159 in 1975-76 to $58,014,172 in 1976-77.
These expenditures reflect in a very important way the expansion of the University System's overall program in behalf of the people of the state.
Research conducted within the University System is important in many ways, both in education and in service.
In the realm of academics, or education, research is important in helping faculty members, through their investigative projects, to keep up-to-date in their various disciplines; in supporting the training of graduate students; and, among many other important ways, in constantly adding to the store of knowledge that is so essential to the vitality of academia.
In the service area, research touches the lives of all people. Being enrolled or registered in a program on a campus is not a requirement for a person to become a beneficiary of research that researchers of University System institutions conduct. In fact, while much of this research fuels the growth and improvement of on-campus academics, most of the output from these efforts is made available to our people far from the campuses and other research sites. The books and other materials in a public library, recording results of basic research to add to the store of knowledge and of applied research to give workable form to knowledge, are examples. The drugs administered to humans and those used on animals are remarkable examples of research that found applications for basic knowledge.
The Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, Medical College of

Georgia, and University of Georgia- the four universities of the University System- all have ongoing programs of both basic research and applied research. Some of the other System institutions, primarily senior colleges, also have smaller ongoing research programs.
- Public service-continuing education activities of the University System increased substantially during 1976-77. This program during the past decade has become a part of the offerings of all University System junior colleges, senior colleges, and universities, whereas previously it was a fully implemented part of the offerings of only a few of the institutions.
Public service-continuing education activities are usually offered on a non-credit basis and usually last for a shorter period of time than do the college-credit, degree-oriented courses. A typical public service-continuing education short course, seminar, conference, or other activity may range from one hour to several hours, in a single session or in multiple sessions. These activities are designed to correspond to the interests of participants, including people of virtually all ages- from boys and girls to senior citizens. They may involve specialized education, general information, cultural enrichment, or other areas of interest.
During 12 months of 1976-77, the number of non-degree public service-continuing education programs conducted by University System institutions was 7,118, with 4,883 ,391 participants for 8, I02,247 participant-hours. During the corresponding 12 months of 1975-76, the number of these programs at the University System institutions was 6,913, with 3,593,535 participants for 6,868,304 participant-hours.
Some of the facts on the expansion of educational opportunities, the growth of research, and the growth in public service-continuing education activities are cited here to emphasize the considerable increase in the total outreach of the University System to the people of Georgia during 1976-77. Additional, more detailed information on these matters, as well as information on many other aspects of the University System's overall program during 1976-77, will be found in Chancellor George L. Simpson, Jr.'s Report and in the Appendix section of this Annual Report.
The interest in the Board of Regents and the University System that you, members of the General Assembly, and other supporters continually demonstrate is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

REPORT OF THE CHANCELLOR
George L. Simpson, Jr.

The 1976-77 fiscal year was marked more by steady onward movement of most programs - a sort of across-the-board achievement of resultsthan by spectacular breakthrough in a limited area.
There were some pluses, some minuses. Some examples: increases in research and public service-continuing education activities, a decline in enrollment in programs of instruction leading to degrees. On balance, the year was a good one.
The trend for people to expect more education and more services - not only a larger number of programs and places for enrollment and participation, but also a larger variety of offerings continued in 1976-77. It has been under way for a considerable number of years. The University System, with the strong backing of the Board of Regents, in 1976-77, as consistently in previous years, met the increased requests.

College in Transition
Kennesaw Junior College, which was granted four-year (senior college) status by the Board of Regents in the 1975-76 fiscal year, received approval in May, 1977, to change the name of the college, to Kennesaw College. Other conversion-related actions taken by the Board in that month included the authorization for the Kennesaw college to establish a Division of Education and to offer the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree programs. The name change and the establishment of the Division of Education were to become effective in the 1977 fall quarter in order to facilitate the initiation and completion of certain preparatory activities that are prerequisite to a smooth transition from junior college to senior college status.
The offering of the bachelor's degree programs

THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

was to become effective in the 1978 fall quarter, when the college was scheduled to add the junior year of college work. The senior year of college work was to be added in the 1979 fall quarter.
The two-year associate degree career programs now being offered at Kennesaw will be continued. These programs include nursing, secretarial science, data processing, criminal justice, and social services.
A 40-page desegregation impact study report that strongly supported the conversion of Kennesaw Junior College to a senior college was approved by the Board of Regents in November, 1976. The transmittal of the study report, entitled '"A Desegregation Impact Study on the Proposed Conversion of Kennesaw Junior College to Senior College Status," to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), was also authorized by the Board.
When the Board of Regents authorized senior college status for Kennesaw in April, 1976, it was stipulated that the action would be reported to HEW for review. That action was a step in compliance with the 1974 "Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia." The 1974 Plan, required by HEW, committed the Board of Regents and the University System to a wide variety of desegregation actions, including analysis of impact on desegregation of major changes within the System.
According to the conclusions of the study:" After an assessment of all of the data which are available, it is concluded that the population of the Kennesaw Junior College area, which includes the Seventh Congressional District of Georgia, suggests the need for a senior college in the area, and that there will be no negative effects upon the development of a non-dualistic system."
Kennesaw Junior College is located adjacent to Interstate Highway 75 approximately eight miles north of Marietta. It will be the first University System senior college in the Seventh District. Southern Technical Institute, a four-year division of the Georgia Institute of Technology, is also located in Marietta, in the Seventh District.
Enrollment at Kennesaw in the 1976 fall quarter was 3,253 students. Projected enrollments for the college after conversion are 4,304 students in the 1978 fall quarter and 4, 708 students in the 1979 fall quarter. The numbers of upper division students (juniors and seniors) were projected to be 717 students in the 1978 fall quarter and 942 students in the 1979 fall quarter.
Two physical plant projects were authorized for Kennesaw in May, 1977.

A Library Addition project was authorized to provide an addition of approximately 99,000 square feet to the present library. It will increase the size of the lib"tary to approximately 120,000 gross square feet, bringing the size of this facility into line with the sizes of libraries of other senior colleges.
A Music Building project was authorized to provide facilities, in the original physical plant building, for programs of the Music Department. Physical plant facilities were scheduled to be relocated into new facilities prior to the initiation of the Music Building project.
New Junior College
The geographic dispersion of the University System's universities, senior colleges, and junior colleges was expanded further in the 1976-77 fiscal year with the opening in the 1976 fall quarter of Waycross Junior College in southeast Georgia. The new college enrolled 341 students in brand-new facilities located on a 150-acre campus in Waycross in its first quarter of operation.
Waycross Junior College, the 32nd institution of the University System, offers both college transfer and career programs leading to three degrees- Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Applied Science.
College transfer programs, designed for students who plan to transfer to senior colleges and universities to seek baccalaureate degrees, lead to the Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees.
The programs that lead to the Associate of Arts degree include business administration, English, foreign language, general studies, history, journalism, political science, prelaw, psychology, sociology, and speech and drama.
The programs that lead to the Associate of Science degree include agriculture, biological sciences, chemistry, forestry, health and physical education, mathematics, predentistry, premedicine, prenursing, prepharmacy, and teacher education.
Career programs, offered to students who plan full-time employment after two years of study, lead to the Associate of Applied Science degree. These programs authorized for the new college in the 1976-77 fiscal year were ail to be offered jointly with the Waycross-Ware County Area Vocational-Technical School. They include such fields as child development, computer programming, drafting, forest technology, marketing and management, secretarial science, and electronics technology. These programs consist of at least 45

1976-77 ANNUAL REPORT

hours of course work at the college and one year of specialized courses at the vocational-technical school. Students in tltese programs must meet the admission requirements of both Waycross Junior College and Waycross- Ware County Area Vocational-Technical School.
The college offers a non-credit community services program that is designed to meet the needs and interests of citizens of the community who may want instruction in improving job expertise or assistance for cultural or leisure-time enrichment. It assists educational, professional, business, industrial, governmental, or other groups who may profit from participation in a wide range of conferences, institutes, seminars, and workshops. The program is designed to bring the people of the community to the college and to take the college program out into the community.
A Statement of Purpose for the institution, which had been approved in May, 1976, was revised and approved by the Board of Regents in September, 1976. Statutes for the college were approved in November, 1976.
Waycross Junior College was one of six junior colleges authorized by the Board of Regents in December, 1970. A contract was executed in July, 1973, between the Board of Regents and the Board of Commissioners of Ware County, that provided for construction of the college. It stipulated that the Board of Commissioners would furnish to the Board of Regents a deed to the !50-acre campus site and $2 million for the development of initial physical plant facilities of the college.
The development of this college followed the pattern of development that had been followed with all the other new University System junior colleges that had been opened since the mid1960's. By this pattern, a local political subdivision provides the campus site and funds for the development of the initial physical plant facilities for the college. The institution becomes the property of the Board of Regents, however, from the beginning, and the Board assumes responsibility for the operation of the college and for expansion of physical plant facilities.
Amendment 23 Enrollment
Rules and regulations governing special enrollment privileges of students 62 years of age or older at University System institutions were adopted by the Board of Regents in January, 1977, and revised by the Board in June, 1977.
These provisions were adopted in order to implement Constitutional Amendment Number 23, initiated by the 1976 session of the Georgia Gen-

era! Assembly and ratified by Georgia voters in the November, 1976, General Election.
The amendment provided _that the Board of Regents authorize and establish, by not later than the 1977 fall quarter, a program whereby Georgia citizens who are 62 years of age or older may attend University System institutions without payment of fees, except for supplies and laboratory or shop fees, when space is available in a course scheduled for resident credit. The amendment excludes the special enrollment privilege in dental, medical, veterinary, and law schools.
The revised rules and regulations stipulated that Amendment 23 students may be enrolled as regular or auditing students and, in general, must meet all University System and institutional admission requirements, if enrolling for credit, including high school graduation, Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores, and Special Studies. Institutions may exercise discretion in exceptional cases, however, where circumstances indicate that certain requirements such as high school graduation and SAT score requirements are inappropriate.
The initially adopted provisions stipulated that persons 62 years of age or older taking advantage of Amendment 23 would have been required to enroll as regular students and to meet all University System and institutional admission requirements including high school graduation, SAT scores, and Special Studies.
ENROLLMENT
Enrollment in the University System dropped substantially in 1976-77 from enrollment in 1975-76. The drop began in the 1976 summer quarter and continued through the 1976 fall quarter and the 1977 winter and spring quarters. It was registered in all reporting categories - Cumulative, Average, and Equivalent Full-Time enrollments. That situation was the reverse of that that had prevailed generally for more than a decade. Enrollment at University System institutions turned sharply upward in the mid-1960's, and the usual pattern of growth since then had been for the number of students enrolled in a particular quarter to be moderately to substantially larger than the number enrolled in the corresponding quarter of the preceding year.
Academic Year Enrollment
The enrollment for the 1976-77 academic year was reported in the usual three categories Cumulative enrollment, Average enrollment, and Equivalent Full-Time enrollment.

Cumulative Enrollment
Cumulative enrollment for the 1976-77 academi-c year - the fall, winter, and spring quarters- was 167,050 students. That number reflected a decrease of 6,662 students- 3.8 percent- from Cumulative enrollment in the 197576 academic year of 173,712 students (revised).
Enrollment in this category had increased 7. 9 percent in 1975-76.
Cumulative enrollment includes all students enrolled in any quarter or quarters during the academic year; a student enrolled for one quarter represents one unit of Cumulative enrollment, as does a student enrolled for more than one quarter.
The comparisons of Cumulative enrollment in the various categories in the 1976-77 academic year from the previous year reflected four decreases and three increases. The numbers of students and percentages of the increases and decreases in these categories were: freshmen, decrease of 3,852- or 8.5 percent- to 41,551 from 45,403; sophomores, increase of 656- or 3.1 percent- to 30,449 from 29,793; juniors, decrease of 709 - or 3.4 percent - to 19,849 from 20,558; seniors, increase of 119- or 0.6 percent - to 21 ,567 from 21 ,448; graduate students, decrease of 2, 031 - or 6. 5 percent - to 29,323 from 31 ,354; professional students, increase of 165- or 6.2 percent- to 2,842 from 2,677; and irregular and special students, decrease of I ,010 - or 4.5 percent -to 21,469 from 22,479.
Cumulative enrollment of students classified as war veterans declined sharply in the 1976-77 academic year, from enrollment of such students in 1975-76. Enrollment of the students in 1976-77 was 18,861, reflecting a decrease of 6,255- or 24.9 percent - from 25, I 16 such students enrolled in 1975-76.
Cumulative enrollment of students classified as war veterans had increased 13.7 percent in 197576.
Cumulative enrollment of nonresident students declined moderately in the 1976-77 academic year, for the third consecutive year. Students in this category numbered 16,426 in 1976-77, down I, 181 - 6. 7 percent- from 17,607 in 1975-76.
The number of nonresident students had declined 5.6 percent in 1975-76 and 5.5 percent in 1974-75.
Nonresident students accounted for 9. 8 percent of the total Cumulative enrollment in the 1976-77 academic year, compared with 10.1 percent in 1975-76. Of the students classified as nonresident

students in 1976-77, 84 percent came from other states in the United States.
Average Enrollment
Average enrollment in the 1976-77 academic year was 122,398 students. That number reflected a decrease of 4,401 students - 3.5 percentfrom Average enrollment in the 197 5-76 academic year of 126,799 students (revised).
Enrollment in this category had increased 7. 9 percent in 1975-76.
Average enrollment is the average of the numbers of students enrolled in the three quarters of the academic year.
In both Cumulative and Average enrollments, the headcount method of reporting is used -that is, students are counted without regard for workload.
Equivalent Full-Time Enrollment
Equivalent Full-Time enrollment in the 197677 academic year was 94,363 students. That number reflected a decrease of 2,024 students2.1 percent - from Equivalent Full-Time enrollment in the 1975-76 academic year of 96,387 students (revised).
Enrollment in this category had increased 8 percent in 1975-76.
Equivalent Full-Time enrollment for the academic year is computed by dividing by 50 the total number of quarter credit hours for which all students are enrolled during the three quarters. The full workload for a student, as figured by the University System, averages 16 2/3 credit hours per quarter or 50 credit hours per academic year.
Summer Quarter Enrollment
Cumulative enrollment in the 1976 summer quarter was 67,335 students. That number reflected a decrease of7 ,080 students -9.5 percent - from Cumulative enrollment of 74,415 students in the 1975 summer quarter.
Cumulative enrollment had increased 16.2 percent in the 1975 summer quarter.
Equivalent Full-Time enrollment in the 1976 summer quarter was 43,211 students. That number reflected a decrease of 5, 113 students 10.6 percent - from Equivalent Full-Time enrollment of 48,324 students in the 1975 summer quarter.

DEGREES AWARDED
The 32 University System universities, senior colleges, and junior colleges awarded 24,595 graduate, baccalaureate, and associate degrees in the 1976-77 fiscal year. That number reflected a decrease of 649 degrees, or 2.6 percent, from 25,244 degrees awarded in the 1975-76 fiscal year.
The numbers of degrees awarded by University System institutions in other recent years included an increase of I ,366 degrees, or 5. 7 percent, in 1975-76; an increase of212 degrees, or I percent, in 1974-75; an increase of I, 724 degrees, or 7. 9 percent, in 1973-74; and an increase of I ,692 degrees, or 8.4 percent, in 1972-73.
The number of doctor's degrees awarded in 1976-77 was 713, reflecting a decrease of 45 5.9percent-from758awardedin 1975-76. The breakdown of doctor's degrees awarded in 197677 included: Doctor of Philosophy, 377; Doctor of Medicine, 148; Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, 73; DoctorofEducation, 59; Doctor of Dental Medicine, 52; Doctor of Public Administration, 3; and Doctor of Business Administration, I.

INSTRUCTION
Instruction was in 1976-77, as always before, the keystone of the University System's programs.
Good faculty members always are the most important element of good instruction. The institutions of the University System turned in good performance during the year in attracting new faculty members with superior credentials and in retaining faculty members with comparable qualifications. While the institutions were not in position to attract every new faculty member on their preferred lists or to retain every outstanding faculty member with previous service, the overall percentage of success was gratifying.
Faculty and Staff Personnel
Several items pertaining to benefits for faculty and staff members at the 32 University System institutions were approved in the 1976-77 fiscal year by the Board of Regents.
A policy providing that compensation of all employees of the University System and other operating expenses of the System may be -but not necessarily must be- reduced in the event of a reduction of state appropriation to the Board of Regents for the University System was adopted by the Board in November, 1976.
The text of this policy is:
"The Board (of Regents) receives an annual appropriation from the General Assembly for all phases of its operations. This appropriation may be increased or decreased by the Legislature or the Governor during the period of any fiscal year. Expenditures for operation of the University System are therefore necessarily contingent upon legislative appropriations. In the event that the General Assembly or the Governor at any time reduces the amount of funds appropriated to the Board, the compensation of all employees and other operating expenses may as a consequence be correspondingly reduced. It shall, however, be the intent of the Board to maintain, insofar as possible, current salary commitments to every employee; and the Board will exert its composite influence and best efforts to that end.''
Also in November, the Board of Regents rescinded a faculty employment contract provision that had been adopted by the Board in February, 1976, the text of which was:
''The payment of compensation provided for

THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

5

herein is contingent upon the continued availability of funds for 'personal services' under the General Appropriations Act of (year), as amended, and maibe increased or reduced according to the availability of said funds under such amendments."
The faculty employment contract provision that was adopted in February and revoked in November drew considerable opposition almost from the time it was adopted.
The matter of providing a policy-based relation between compensation for University System faculty members and the level of state appropriation to the University System was pursued by the Board of Regents in the wake of a court case. In that case, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed a Fulton Superior Court order, resulting from a suit filed by the Georgia Conference of the American Association of University Professors, et a!, that required the Board of Regents to pay the full amount of the salaries promised in written and signed faculty employment contracts for 1975-76. The Board of Regents, responding to a reduction of University System appropriation for the 197576 fiscal year as part of a state government-wide crisis, had revoked all pay raises that had been authorized for 1975-76 for faculty members and other University System personnel. Following the issuance of the court order requiring restoration of the pay raises for faculty members with written and signed contracts, the Board of Regents restored all 1975-76 pay raises initially authorized for faculty members and other personnel.
The Board of Regents in September, 1976, rescinded a policy provision under which the payment by the University System for group insurance for System employees had been considered as a salary payment. The rescission of the provision was recommended because the treatment of fringe benefits as compensation but not as salary is now a widely accepted principle.
The Board of Regents also in September, 1976, revised its policy pertaining to the employment of aliens in the University System. The newly approved policy eased the restrictions under which aliens could be employed in the System's institutions.
Under the revised policy provision, an alien can be employed on the conditions that the services he or she would perform do not involve direct participation in the formulation, execution, or review of broad public policy and that United States citizenship does not bear some rational special relationships to the special demands of the particular

position he or she would fill.
Under the superseded policy provision, an alien could be employe_g only after it had been ascertained, on the basis of a thorough investigation, that there was no qualified citizen of the United States available to perform the services for which the alien was being considered.
The revision in the policy followed a ruling by the Georgia attorney general, which set forth constitutional restrictions on application of Georgia law to exclude aliens from public employment.
The Board of Regents in December, 1976, voted a commitment to implement a Salary Clas-
sification Program for all University System employees except teaching faculty members. The Board at the same time approved in principle a proposed agreement under which Hay Associates, a management consulting firm, would design, document, and recommend a program to set forth job descriptions and other pertinent data for all the affected employees.
It was anticipated that the conduct of this comprehensive program would define personnel compensation patterns to ensure equity between employees of the University System and employees of other state agencies. It was also expected that the findings of the program would provide a competitive and easily comprehensible compensation base for purposes of built-in-salary-increases administration.
The commitment to conduct this program followed a report to the Board of Regents in November, 1976, by Hay Associates, which described findings of unfavorable salary levels in all categories of employment in the University System.
The Board of Regents in January, 1977, authorized the signing of the agreement for the implementation of the Salary Classification Program for the University System's approximately 24,000 non-teaching-faculty employees in the program, the first phase of which was expected to be completed by July 1, 1977.
The remainder of the program, which was to include professional and administrative personnel, was expected to be completed by July 1, 1978.
The General Assembly provided a special appropriation of $50,000 to pay part of the cost of the Salary Classification Program, and also adopted a resolution in behalf of such a program.
The Board of Regents in April, 1977, approved promotions to higher professorial ranks for 571

6

1976-77 ANNUAL REPORT

faculty members at the institutions of the University System, to become effective in the 1977-78 fiscal year. These promotions, compared with 431 promotions approved in April, 1976, for the 1976-77 fiscal year, were recommended by officials of the institutions according to criteria for promotion of faculty members that are set forth in the Board of Regents policies.
The Board of Regents in May, 1977, granted tenure to 339 faculty members at University System institutions, effective beginning in the 197778 fiscal year. The Board in April, 1976, had granted tenure to 409 faculty members of System institutions, effective beginning in the 1976-77 fiscal year.
The distribution of faculty members by professorial ranks was altered substantially by promotions and new appointments during 1976-77. The changes in numbers were: professors, increased 2.3 percent; associate professors, increased 10.2 percent; assistant professors, increased 0.3 percent; and instructors, increased 1.6 percent.
Budgeted faculty positions at all the University System institutions, except the Medical College of Georgia, totaled 5,844 for the 1976-77 academic year. That number included an increase of 193 budgeted faculty positions, or 3.4 percent, over 5,651 for all the System institutions, except the Medical College of Georgia, for the 1975-76 academic year. (The Medical College of Georgia reports faculty data on a fiscal year - 12 month -basis.)
The average salary budgeted for faculty members of all University System institutions, except the Medical College of Georgia, for the 1976-77 academic year was $15,627. That amount included an increase of $889, or 6 percent, over the average salary of $14,738 budgeted for faculty members for the 1975-76 academic year.
The average budgeted faculty salary and the number of budgeted faculty positions of each rank at all University System institutions, except the Medical College of Georgia, for the 1976-77 academic year, compared with those for the 1975-76 academic year, were:
Professors - $21 ,056 for I ,206 positions for 1976-77, compared with $19,863 for I, 179 positions for 1975-76.
Associate Professors- $16,464 for I ,608 positions, compared with $15,587 for I ,459 positions.
Assistant Professors- $13,537 for 2,372 positions, compared with $12,823 for 2,364 positions.
Instructors - $11, 126 for 649 positions, com-

pared with $10,445 for 639 positions.
Lecturers- $13,800 for 9 positions, compared with $13,645 for I 0 position~:
Libraries
The libraries of the University System institutions receive continually increased attention in the ongoing expansion and improvement of academic programs throughout the System. This increased attention, backed by increased funding, is reflected in additions to library holdings, in additional spending for library operations, and in construction of new and expanded library buildings.
Library additions and holdings in the University System increased in all reporting categories in the 1976-77 fiscal year. The categories included bookstock volumes, government documents and collections, all types of microforms, and periodical and serial titles.
The number of book stock volumes held by the institutions on June 30, 1977, the end of the 1976-77 fiscal year, totaled 5,409,091, up 397,259 from 5,011,832 held on June 30, 1976.
For the first time, all the senior colleges each reported more than I 00,000 volumes held at the end of the fiscal year. For several years, all the universities each had held more than 100,000 volumes in their libraries.
Other types of holdings at the University System institutions on June 30, 1977, with comparable figures for the preceding year, were:
Government documents and collections 947,105 on June 30, 1977, increased from 882,245 a year earlier.
All types of microforms - 5,508,891, increased from 4, 727,851.
Periodical and other serial titles received 84, 137, increased from 83,823.
Library operations expenditures totaled $16,474,437 in the 1976-77 fiscal year. That amount included an increase of $1 ,051 ,666 over suchexpendituresof$15,422,771 in the 1975-76 fiscal year.
New library facilities and additions to existing library buildings costing approximately $21.6 million were completed, under construction, and in early design stages at I0 institutions during the 1976-77 fiscal year.
New library buildings at Augusta College and Savannah State College and an addition to the library at Armstrong State College were completed during the year. The project budgets of

THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

these facilities totaled $6,402,217.
A new library facility was under construction at Gordon ~unior College at the end of the year. The project budget of this facility was $1,230,936.
A new library project for Atlanta Junior College was in the design stage. Funds were available for this facility, for which the project budget was $2,126,450.
A new library building for Clayton Junior College and additions to libraries for the Medical College of Georgia, the Law School of the University of Georgia, West Georgia College, and Kennesaw Junior College were in early design stages. The project budgets of these projects, which had not been funded at the end of the year, totaled $11 ,821 ,273.
New Degrees and Majors
Thirty-six new degree programs and majors for existing degree programs at the University System institutions were authorized by the Board of Regents during the 1976-77 fiscal year.
Twenty-six of these new degree programs and majors- or 72.2 percent of the total numberwere authorized at the associate (two-year) degree level. Seven of the new offerings - or 19.5 percent- were authorized at the bachelor's degree level. Three of the new offerings - or 8. 3 percent -were authorized at the graduate degree level.
These degrees and majors were designed to furnish extended opportunities for the upgrading of the University System's academic programs. They cover such diverse subjects as trade and industrial education, dietetic technology, art, public management, and criminal justice.
Included among the newly authorized programs were those leading to Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees at Kennesaw Junior College, to become effective in the 1978 fall quarter, when the college is scheduled to add the junior class in its conversion to a senior college.
Also in the 1976-77 fiscal year, the Board of Regents authorized revised designations for 14 existing degrees and majors. These revisions were authorized, in most cases, to define more clearly the scope and the essence of the affected programs.
Interinstitutional Programs
Interinstitutional programs, each involving the cooperation of two or more institutions of the University System, were expanded during the 1976-77 fiscal year.
A dual-degree - or "3-2" - program be-

tween the Georgia Institute of Technology and Savannah State College was authorized in November, 1976, to become effective in the 1977 winter quarter. Un'tler this program, a student was to complete a five-year curriculum involving three years of study at Savannah State College followed by two years of study at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Upon completion of the program, the student would receive a bachelor's degree from each institution.
A special feature of this program provides that "highly qualified" undergraduates may enter the Georgia Institute of Technology at the end of three years at Savannah State College with the intent of seeking a master's degree instead of a second bachelor's degree. In such cases, a student would be required to complete at least 50 quarter hours of graduate work at the Georgia Institute of Technology in addition to the quarter hours required for the bachelor's degree at Savannah State College.
The Georgia Institute of Technology has similar programs with several institutions of the University System and with more than 70 non-System institutions in the United States.
A cross-instruction agreement between Georgia State University and West Georgia College, providing for the conduct of Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (R.O.T.C.) programs was authorized by the Board of Regents in April, 1977. This new offering, approved to be implemented in the 1977 fall quarter, was to be conducted by the Military Science Department at Georgia State University for students enrolled at West Georgia College.
A cooperative agreement between two University System institutions - the University of Georgia and Gainesville Junior College- and the Lanier Area Vocational-Technical School was authorized by the Board of Regents in September, 1976. Under this agreement, authorized to be implemented in the 1977 winter quarter, data processing and secretarial science programs were to be coordinated at the associate degree and baccalaureate degree levels.
Under the cooperative agreement, Gainesville Junior College was to coordinate and maintain data processing and secretarial science programs jointly with the Lanier Area Vocational-Technical School. "Career ladder" options would be offered to Gainesville Junior College associate degree graduates in these fields. The University of Georgia would accept in transfer the associate degree from Gainesville Junior College, and, upon a student's completion of an additional two

1976-77 ANNUAL REPORT

years of prescribed academic work, would award the Bachelor of Science in Education degree with a major in business education.
A similar agreement involving two University System institutions - Georgia State University and Kennesaw Junior College - and the Marietta-Cobb Area Vocational-Technical School was approved by the Board of Regents in the 1975-76 fiscal year.
Joint Programs
Several joint offerings, which involve cooperation between University System institutions and educational units outside the System, were added to the academic program during the 1976-77 fiscal year. Most of these offerings were authorized in the field of vocational-technical education, in cooperation with area vocational-technical schools.
Gainesville Junior College received approval in July, 1976, to offer, beginning in the 1976 fall quarter, the Associate of Applied Science degree program in 13 fields, in cooperation with the Lanier Area Vocational-Technical School. These fields include air-cooled and outboard engines, automobile mechanics, automobile body and fender repair, brick masonry, carpentry, cosmetology, data processing, electronic technology, heating and air conditioning, industrial electricity, machine shops, plant maintenance, and welding.
Gainesville Junior College was given authorization in June, 1977, to offer, beginning at such time as fiscal and physical resources become available, an associate degree program in dental hygiene, also in cooperation with the Lanier Area Vocational-Technical School.
Waycross Junior College was given approval in September, 1976, to begin offering in the 1976 fall quarter six technical specialties under the Associate in Applied Science degree program. These technical specialties, which were to be offered cooperatively with the Waycross-Ware County Area Vocational-Technical School, include child development, computer programming, drafting, forest technology, marketing and management, and secretarial science.
Waycross Junior College received approval in May, 1977, to implement a major in electronics technology under the Associate in Applied Science degree program. The new major, authorized to become effective in the 1977 summer quarter, also was to be offered in cooperation with the Waycross- Ware County Area VocationalTechnical School.
A dual-degree program was authorized by the Board of Regents in June, 1977, to be offered by

West Georgia College, a University System institution, and Auburn University in Alabama. This program was authorized_~o become effective in the 1977 fall quarter. It was designed to be similar to the program that West Georgia College offers with the Georgia Institute of Technology and which the Georgia Institute of Technology, also a University System institution, in turn offers with several institutions both within and outside the University System.
Under this program, after a student satisfactorily completes three years at West Georgia College and two years at Auburn University, he or she is to receive a bachelor's degree from each institution. There is a provision for some undergraduates to enter Auburn University after three years or more at West Georgia College and work toward a master's degree instead of a second bachelor's degree.
Health Care Education
Health care education continued to be in the 1976-77 fiscal year as important as ever in the overall program of University System institutions. There was moderate growth in new directions; however, most of the activity was focused on continued strengthening of the programs that were established, and in which there was rampant growth, during the period that covered the last half of the 1960's and the early 1970's.
A commitment from the Board of Regents to participate in the development of a specific proposal for a tri-state school of optometry- for Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina - was voted by the Board in November, 1976. That commitment resulted from a request from the Southern Regional Education Board in 1974 for a proposal for expansion of optometric education in the South. A panel of consultants recommended that one new school be established in Georgia, North Carolina, or South Carolina.
In agreeing to participate in the development of a proposal, the Board of Regents stipulated that the Board was not in a position to accept the responsibilities for Georgia to be the host state for a school of optometry. The agreement to help in developing the proposal did not commit the Board of Regents to a course of action for the development of the school itself. Any proposal developed would have to be placed before the Board for consideration and either approval, rejection, or modification.
Since 1974, representatives of boards of higher education of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina and of optometric associations have met and approved a document or policy statement

THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

regarding the establishment of the school. According to this document, the school would guarante~ specified numbers of places for students from each of the three participating statesa maximum total of 90 entering-class students, including 35 from Georgia, 35 from North Carolina, and 20 from South Carolina. Also, the three states would share proportionally the costs of construction and equipment and of operations.
Georgia Institute of Technology received Board of Regents approval in May, 1977, to establish a School of Health Systems, as an administrative unit of the College of Engineering. Authorized to become effective on July I, 1977, the new school would replace the Health Systems Research Center, which has operated as a separate organizational unit at the Georgia Institute of Technology since 1969.
The establishment of the new school was envisioned to provide an opportunity to combine and consolidate several ongoing programs of education, research, and community outreach and thereby to promote economy and efficiency in the educational process.
More than 430 new and renewal agreements were executed with various agencies and organizations in 1976-77 to provide clinical experiences for students in the various health care education areas. These agreements provide for the teaching of professional techniques and procedures to the students of the University System universities, senior colleges, and junior colleges, by faculty members of these institutions, at the facilities of the agencies and organizations with which the agreements are authorized.
Physical plant facilities for health care education programs were expanded by the completion of projects at three institutions during the 1976-77 fiscal year. The completed projects included the renovation of an existing building to provide facilities for the Department of Family Practice at the Medical College of Georgia, the remodeling of the veterinary building at the University of Georgia's Coastal Plain Experiment Station at Tifton, and a health science building at Floyd Junior College.
Facilities for health care education programs at four institutions were under construction during the year. Those projects included an addition to the Sanders Research and Education Building and the remodeling of the nursing education building at the Medical College of Georgia, an addition to the College of Veterinary Medicine building at the University of Georgia, a building for nursing and allied health programs at Armstrong State College, and an animal technician facility at Fort

Valley State College.
Three facilities for health care and health care education program_ at the Medical College of Georgia were in planning and design stages during the year. They were a radiation clinic and remodeling of buildings for pathology programs and for medical technology and occupational therapy programs.
Pay raises for all classified personnel of the Medical College of Georgia, to become effective on January I, 1977, were authorized by the Board of Regents in November, 1976. The increases were described as an ''emergency wage adjustment'' and were to be derived totally from internal income, the Board stipulated. According to the action, all classified employees were to receive an across-the-board increase of 4 percent, with some employees receiving additional "merit" raises averaging 2 percent.
Medicine
The Medical College of Georgia's School of Medicine enrolled 183 entering (first-year) students in the 1976 fall quarter. The School of Medicine enrolled 689 students in all classes in that quarter. Those figures compared with enrollment of 184 entering students and total enrollment of 685 students in the school in the 1975 fall quarter.
The School of Medicine plans to increase its entering-class size to 200 when approval for such is received from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, composed of representatives of the American Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges. Approval was expected to be received in 1978.
The Doctor of Medicine degree was awarded by the Medical College to 148 graduates during the 1976-77 fiscal year. Many of these graduates, after completing postgraduate training requirements, would join other alumni of the Medical College to serve the medical needs of the people of Georgia more effectively than ever before.
A long-range goal of the Board of Regents has been the doubling of the number of new physicians graduated at the Medical College by 1980. When that goal was set in the mid-1960's, approximate)y 100 students were receiving the Doctor of Medicine degree from the Medical College each year.
A new program implemented by the Medical College in 1975-76, under which medical students who experience difficulty with the regular curriculum are placed into an expanded curriculum providing two years of academic work over a three-year period, was operated with sue-

1976-77 ANNUAL REPORT

cess during the 1976-77 fiscal year. It was expanded to include other special students.
A new program for accepting transfer students of American origin from foreign medical schools was instituted by the Medical College during the year. Under this program, credit was granted for the first two years of the medical curriculum.
A plan for the establishment by the Medical College of Regional Area Health Education Centers in Columbus, Macon, Rome, and Savannah was advanced during the year. In all these cities except Rome, the Medical College had already established programs of collaborative medical education with local hospitals, under which students complete a number of core curriculum courses at these sites.
The goal for this venture involves the education of 20 medical students at each center, with all medical students ultimately having such learning experiences.
Under the plan for the development of the Regional Area Health Education Centers, dental, nursing, dental hygiene, and physician's assistant students would join medical students in acquiring clinical experiences on an interdisciplinary team basis.
Expansion of the operations of the Medical College's primary teaching unit, Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital located at the Medical College, was effected in 1976-77 with the opening of the Sydenstricker Wing of the hospital. The new wing permitted the increase of the hospital's capacity from 397 to 478 beds.
Faculty members in the School of Medicine continued in 1976-77 to conduct the bulk of research performed at the Medical College.
The Board of Regents in April, 1977, authorized the execution at the proper time of an agreement with the Southern Regional Education Board for awarding capitation grants provided for Georgia residents admitted to a medical school at Mercer University, Macon, in the event such a school is established.
The grants that would be handled under the agreement would be of the same type as those now made from state funds, through the Board of Regents, to Emory University Medical School and to a medical school under development at Morehouse College.
Efforts by Mercer University to establish a medical school at that institution have been under way for several years.
Dentistry
The School of Dentistry at the Medical College

of Georgia registered 60 entering (first-year) students in the 1976 fall quarter. Total enrollment in
the School of Dentistry was J 86 students in that
quarter. Those enrollments compared with 58 entering students and a total of I79 students in the 1975 fall quarter.
The Doctor of Dental Medicine degree was awarded by the School of Dentistry to 52 graduates in the 1976-77 fiscal year. As the number of dental graduates increases year by year, the oral health care needs of the people of Georgia are being met to a continually improving degree.
The School of Dentistry accelerated its research activities during the year.
Nursing
The University System's nursing programs were expanded during the 1976-77 fiscal year by the authorization by the Board of Regents of a new bachelor's degree program, changes in designations of two existing associate degree programs, and a change in the name of a department.
Georgia College received approval in September, 1976, to implement a Bachelor of Science degree program in nursing, effective beginning as early as in September, 1977.
Augusta College received authorization in February, 1977, to change the designation of the Associate of Arts degree in nursing, to the Associate of Science degree in nursing. This change in designation, authorized to become effective in the 1977 spring quarter, was recommended to bring about a consistency in associate degree designations within the college.
West Georgia College was given approval in February, 1977, to change the designation of the Associate of Science in Nursing degree, to the Associate of Science degree with a major in nursing. Authorized to become effective in June, 1977, this change in designation was requested in order for the institution to award only two associate degrees - the Associate of Science degree, to be awarded in areas that are primarily career-oriented, and the Associate of Arts degree, to be awarded in areas that are fully transferable.
Georgia College was voted approval in February, 1977, to change the name of the Department of Nursing Education, to the Department of Nursing. The new name, effective in the 1977 spring quarter, was approved to reflect more accurately the activities of the department.

hygiene - at Floyd Junior College and Gainesville Junior College- were authorized in June, 1977, both to become effective at such time as fiscal and physical resources become available.
At Gainesville Junior College, the dental hygiene program was to be developed and offered as a joint effort between the college and the Lanier Area Vocational-Technical School.
Veterinary Medicine
The College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia continued its expansion in the 1976-77 fiscal year with the implementation of operations of the Veterinary Medical Experiment Station. This new unit, which embraces the research activities of the college, was allocated funds of $526,000 to begin operations. These funds came from a state appropriation provided by the 1976 session of the General Assembly.
Forty-five research projects were started at the Veterinary Medical Experiment Station during the 1976-77 fiscal year. These projects dealt with a variety of food animal disease problems.
The construction of the addition to the College of Veterinary Medicine Building was under way during the year. Projected to be completed in the summer of 1978, this addition will provide for expansion of the veterinary medicine program, with improvement of the offerings, and for the increase in the enrollment of veterinary medicine students.
Cumulative enrollment in the College of Veterinary Medicine was 33 7 students in the 1976-77 academic year, compared with 321 students in the 1975-76 academic year.
Awards in 1976-77 for research to be conducted by researchers of the College of Veterinary Medicine totaled $886,624.
The remodeling of the veterinary building at the University of Georgia's Coastal Plain Experiment Station at Tifton was completed during the year. It was constructed to provide academic facilities for the instruction of veterinary assistant students under the Associate in Animal Health degree program at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, a cooperative program with the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine.
An Associate in Animal Health degree program at Fort Valley State College was implemented in the 1976 summer quarter. Under this program, a cooperative venture with the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, Fort Valley State College students are to spend six months on the University of Georgia campus at Athens, working under the supervision of faculty and staff

members in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Teacher Education
Major steps in the University System's teacher education program during the 1976-77 fiscal year included authorizations by the Board of Regents to establish two new graduate degree programs and a baccalaureate degree program and to change designations of two degree programs.
Also of special significance was authorization by the Board for the establishment of a Division of Education for the University System college in transition to senior college status.
In addition, an agreement between two University System units and a unit outside the System, providing for options which will lead to a bachelor's degree in Education, was implemented.
Valdosta State College received approval in April, 1977, to offer, beginning in the 1977 summer quarter, a major in vocational education under an existing Master of Education degree program and a major in trade and industrial education under an existing Bachelor of Science in Education degree program. These programs were designed to prepare vocational teachers for the Valdosta State College service area.
West Georgia College was given authorization in July, 1976, to implement in the 1976 summer quarter a major in physical education under an existing Master of Education degree program. The new program was designed to provide graduate preparation for physical education teachers in the West Georgia College service area.
Georgia State University was authorized in March, 1977, to change the title of a major under the institution's Bachelor of Science in Education degree program, from secretarial science to secretarial science and offtce administration. The change, approved to become effective as early as in the 1977 spring quarter, was requested to reflect more accurately the content of the degree program.
West Georgia College was given approval in February, 1977, to change the title of the college's Associate of Science in Education degree program, to the Associate of Arts degree with a major in Education, effective beginning in June, 1977. The change was requested in order to provide for the awarding of only two associate degrees by the college, instead of the awarding of a separate degree in each approved area.
Kennesaw Junior College, scheduled to add the junior class in the 1978 fall quarter in its transition to senior college status, received authorization in

1976-77 ANNUAL REPORT

May, 1977, to establish a Division of Education. Originally authorized to become effective in the 1978 fall quarter, the new division was voted by the Board in June, 1977, to be established in the 1977 fall quarter, so that recruitment of faculty and staff members and development of academic programs within the division could be expedited.
The University of Georgia and Gainesville Junior College received approval in September, 1976, to enter into an agreement with the Lanier Area Vocational-Technical School. Under this agreement, approved to become effective as early as in the 1977 winter quarter, existing data processing and secretarial science programs were to be coordinated and maintained jointly by Gainesville Junior College and the Lanier Area VocationalTechnical School. "Career ladder" options offered under the agreement would lead to the associate degree in the fields of data processing and secretarial science from Gainesville Junior College, and to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree with a major in business education from the University of Georgia following the completion of two additional years of prescribed academic work.
RESEARCH
Research-related activities in the University System continued at a high level in the 1976-77 fiscal year. Reported expenditures showed a substantial increase from 1975-76.
Research-related activities of University System institutions have been expanded substantially and continually during the past decade or so. The development of this ever-more-significant research capability has had extraordinarily beneficial effects on the overall program of the University System. Research, instruction, and public service have been combined to make the University System institutions' resources of unprecedented proportion and value in serving both oncampus needs and off-campus needs of the people of Georgia.
Hundreds of research-related projects are under way under the direction of researchers at University System institutions at any particular time. Some of these are conducted on campuses and at experiment stations and other off-campus research facilities of the institutions. Others are conducted at off-campus sites - some inside Georgia, some outside Georgia - under diverse conditions and with many objectives.
Some of the projects are basic-researchoriented, conducted in quest of new knowledge.

Some - a large proportion -of the projects are applied-research-oriented, conducted in quest of ways to put know ledge, accumulated through basic research, to work to soTve problems and to take advantage of opportunities in behalf of people.
Research-related activities in the University System were conducted in the 1976-77 fiscal year, as in previous years, primarily at the System's four universities - Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, Medical College of Georgia, and University of Georgia. Some of the senior colleges, however, conducted a significant number of research-related projects during the year.
Expenditures
Expenditures for research-related projects at all the University System institutions were $58,014,172 in the 1976-77 fiscal year. That amount was $7,568,013- 15 percent- more than the expenditures of $50,446, 159 for such projects in the 1975-76 fiscal year.
The breakdown of the expenditures by institutions was:
Georgia Institute of Technology $19,947,795 in 1976-77, up from $15,617,166 in 1975-76.
Georgia State University- $1,191,050 in 1976-77, up from $1,186,000 in 1975-76.
Medical College of Georgia- $5,461,746 in 1976-77, up from $4,019,061 in 1975-76.
University of Georgia - $29,790,342 in 1976-77, up from $28,137,165 in 1975-76.
Other Institutions - $1,623,239, up from $1,486,767.
Expenditures for research-related projects are made from funds derived from both institutional support and extramural support. Institutional support is acquired primarily from state appropriations allocated to the institutions by the Board of Regents. Extramural support is obtained primarily from contracts and grants awarded by agencies of the federal government, foundations, business and industrial firms, and other sources outside the University System.
PUBLIC SERVICE
Public service-continuing education act1v1t1es were offered by all University System institutions in the 1976-77 fiscal year to individuals and groups throughout Georgia.
Those activities, which were usually offered on

a non-credit basis, covered a range of subjects matching the gamut of interests of Georgia's people of virtually all ages.
The momentum of participation in public service-continuing education programs in the University System has been continually building for the past several years. The public service programs have been the means for delivering to our people at on-campus and off-campus locations the fruits of the University System's advances in education - not only in public service-continuing education, but also in research and instruction.
Aid to State Government
The providing of public service-continuing education programs of University System institutions to State government, under a special program initiated in the early 1970's, was continued in the 1976-77 fiscal year.
Three hundred forty-eight staff development and training programs for professional staff members of state government agencies, attended by 9, 719 participants, were conducted during the year. Primary sponsorship for conducting these programs was handled by the State agencies and University System institutions. Faculty members at the University System institutions participated in many additional programs.
More staff development and training programs were conducted in 1976-77 for the benefit of the State Merit System and the State Department of Human Resources than for any other State units. Programs conducted for these agencies totaled 144 for the Merit System and I 14 for the Department of Human Resources.
Activities for the General Assembly included a biennial institute for new legislators and a series of special sessions at the institute for veteran legislators on four policy issues. In addition, two special seminars on major policy issues were conducted.
Continuing Education Units
The University System's 32 institutions during 1976-77 expanded the non-degree continuing education programs offered to interested persons outside the regular classroom. These institutions conducted 7,118 non-degree programs with 4,883.391 participants for 8,102.247 participant-hours during the year. The 31 institutions in operation during the 1975-76 reported 6.913 programs with 3.593,535 participants for 6,868,304 participant-hours.
Included in the programs offered were conferences. seminars, symposiums. workshops. and

other similar activities.
Continuing Education Units (C.E. U. 's) awarded to participants in the continuing education programs totale-d 806,239 in 1976-77, compared with 681 ,490 in 1975-76.
The C.E.U., used by all University System institutions as a standard unit of measurement for identifying and reporting non-degree continuing education activities of individuals and institutions, is defined as I0 contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education activity under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction.
C.E.U. credit was not awarded for some of the programs conducted; also, some of the programs that were offered for C.E.U. credit were conducted jointly by two or more institutions, and the awarding of C.E.U. 's was shared by the participating institutions.
The numbers of participants reported represent the total numbers of registrations, not necessarily the numbers of persons participating.
The document, entitled "Utilization of the Continuing Education Unit (C.E.U.) Within the University System of Georgia," originally published in 1972 to provide guidelines for implementation of the C.E. U., was in the process of being revised during 1976-77. Scheduled to be published in July, 1977, the revised document was to include all the provisions for complying with Standard IX of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
CONSTRUCTION
The construction program in the University System moved forward in the 1976-77 fiscal year at a moderate pace.
A comprehensive report on this program was presented to the Board of Regents in May, 1977, by the vice chancellor for construction and physical plant. The report dealt with sizes of present instructional areas at the institutions, analysis of utilization of these instructional areas, construction projects currently under way, sources of financing for authorized projects, proposed capital outlay requests. and physical plant needs of the individual institutions.
Projects Completed
Thirty-five projects with project budgets totaling $31 ,887, 778 were completed at 16 units of the University System during the 1976-77 fiscal year. That number compared with 41 projects with project budgets totaling $44,906,018 that were

Among the proj~cts completed during 1976-77 were a student activities building at the Georgia Institute of Technology, an addition to the ecology building at the University of Georgia, a classroom building at Columbus College, and the new campus facilities at the Waycross Junior College, which opened initially in the 1976 fall quarter.
Projects Under Construction
Thirty projects with project budgets totaling $27,411,342 were under construction at 17 units at the end of the 1976-77 fiscal year, compared with 40 projects with project budgets totaling $47,011,838 that were under construction at 17 units at the end of 1975-76.
Among the projects under construction at the end of 1976-77 were a business operations building at Augusta College, an education center at Georgia College, academic buildings at Atlanta Junior College and Macon Junior College, and a vocational-technical building at Dalton Junior College.
Projects in Planning Stages
Forty-two projects with estimated costs totaling $56,425,033 were in various planning and design stages at 21 institutions at the end ofthe 1976-77 fiscal year. Forty-two projects with estimated costs totaling $56,089,957 were in various planning and design stages at 22 institutions at the end of 1975-76.
Funds were available on June 30, 1977, the end of the 1976-77 fiscal year, for construction of 13 projects in planning and design stages with estimated costs totaling $13,369,511. Funds had been available at the end of 1975-76 for construction of 16 projects in planning and design stages with estimated costs totaling $13,804,236.

Georgia State University, a continuing education building at Georgia Southern College, a biological sciences building at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, and physical education additions at Clayton Junior College, Floyd Junior College, and Gainesville Junior College.
The majority of construction at University System institutions is financed from bond issues backed by special state appropriations. Projects financed by bond funds are constructed from plans furnished by the Board of Regents. Funds for non-bond projects are provided from regular state appropriations and from several other sources that include federal agencies, private foundations and organizations, institutions, and local communities. The funds provided by local communities are used for the construction of initial physical plant facilities of new junior colleges.

Each institution had a financial aid director, a specialist in seeking to arrange the suitable types of aid for each individual student who sought assistance.
Regents' Scholarships
Regents' Scholarships were awarded to 531 Georgia residents attending University System colleges and universities during the 1976-77 fiscal year.
Funds for these scholarships were appropriated by the General Assembly and were allocated to the institutions by the Board of Regents.
Allocations to the institutions are based on the previous fall quarter enrollments of Georgia students. Each institution determines the number of the scholarships it will award and the amount of each scholarship, within the limits of its allocation and Board of Regents policies. Also, each institution awards the scholarships, subject to approval by the Board of Regents.
Regents' Scholarships were established pursuant to a 1958 Georgia Constitutional Amendment that authorized aid to residents of the state who would find college attendance unusually difficult or impossible without such financial assistance. They were funded initially in 1961-62 with a state appropriation of $100,000. That amount was appropriated annually through 1963-64; in and since 1964-65, the annual appropriation has been $200,000.
A recipient of a Regents' Scholarship must: be a Georgia resident; show that, without scholarship aid, it would be difficult or impossible for him or her to attend a University System institution; present satisfactory evidence regarding his or her moral character and community standing; be in the top 25 percent of his or her college class- or, if a freshman, be predicted to be in the top 25 percent of his or her class; maintain status as a full-time, degree-seeking student, except in unusual circumstances; and work in the state upon completion of his or her education, one year for each $1,000 received in Regents' Scholarships. Recipients who do not meet the work requirement must repay the money received, plus interest.
The institutions are responsible for determining compliance with the terms of the scholarship program, for collecting repayments and interest, and for maintaining adequate records of the recipients.
